MP: Standards - MA Game (running)

Could I get a 48 hour extension over the weekend? Forgot my laptop at work, and my main comp is getting some serious updating... Writing this message from my mobile phone now, and I think it can't quite manage Dom3

I forgot, I was going to reply to this, after the turn.

Turn before last, I had Abysia's capital and another castle under siege. He was threatening both with large forces that were certain to attack my sieging forces. I had decided to rescript for a defensive fight, rather than Storming - and he staled, so nothing got done. So I decided I would submit as late as possible last turn, to see if he was getting a turn in or not..... and then the game was delayed a day..... then another day delay..... it was nerve wracking.

Informing me of these things allows me to take that into consideration before I delay a turn.

Also, I will extend the turn. Thanks for asking.

Well they were reasonable delays, first to find a sub, then to let him review his turn properly. Plus it just seems a bit off to ask you to be expedient with your hosting, so that my opponent will stale. >.> I just had to make sure I sent the appropriate actions, based on whether or not he submitted a turn, had nothing to do with anyone else, really.

Jim, Understood.

46852, My apologies. I tried to extend this turn. I must have incorrectly submitted the password and didn't notice it hadn't worked. This is exactly why I say I need someone else to admin this game. I just don't have the time to confirm my actions.

I'm willing to roll back the turn if everyone thinks that would be appropriate. Doing so probably hurts me and the alliance against Ashdod the most as I scored massive victories against Ashdod this turn. His Northern forces (Including his thugs/SCs) have been entirely wiped off the map and unless he deploys something new, he will fold like a house of cards. What do people think?

>.>

I don't feel I am qualified to have an opinion on this matter.

I've found someone to set Abysia to AI. Caelum can finally enjoy some resistance once again.

[46852]

Already pm'd AoE, no need for rollback, it wasn't that catasthropic stale for me.

Alright, there seems to be only four players still interested in turning in their orders. Traks, 46852, JimMorrison, and I. It seems that the players for Ashdod and Ulm aren't interested in playing anymore. One nation has had a sub already.

I'm half tempted to place both nations on AI. I'm not up to the task of asking for another sub. I also feel that we all want this game to end one way or the other. I'm very invested in the game, but could easily dismiss it if the other players wanted to move onto fresh new games. For me, it is honestly no fun to attack people who don't fight back.

Here are the options:
1) I find new subs for Ulm and Ashdod. Then we stagger along until I win.
2) I set to AI Ulm and Ashdod. I declare war on every remaining nation and eventually win the game.
3) We declare peace and we all move onto a new game. We could of course agree that I won, but I'll accept a tie as a common courtesy.

Man..... I gotta say, I thought originally that I was flat out -screwed- in this game. Started right in the center, got hemmed in on all sides, had a sub-par income, and few attractive options. After a long research hiatus (go go Magic3!) I was ready to roll, and wow..... I've never had so much fun playing Caelum, and the nation is doing great now.

That said..... well, I will be bummed if the game ends, but setting Ashdod to AI will certainly bend me over, with such a long border between our nations.

So, I vote for 1, but if it's too hard to find a sub, I would sadly vote for 3.
