Hello and welcome,

Take your time before playing and sending your turn. Maybe you need a summary of the situation ? Ask anyway.

Nrasch it would be great to give one or two days extension for the next turn.

And maybe everybody wants a break for Christmas, as already discussed (until 1st of January ?) ?

nrasch · #**394** December 20th, 2010, 04:01 PM

So I vote we induct Mr. Ragnoff into the game. Some one 2nd the motion?

[Edit] Nvm! Looks like Num has already took care of this. I'll update Abysia's email address to Ragnoff's. Also, Ragnoff, thanks for joining us!!!

How about next turn on Dec 22nd, and then off till Jan 1st? Sound OK?

Thanks!
Nathan

I have been reading through the thread but as I am not sure the opening post is correct if I could have a brief summary of the current NAPs. alliances and wars that would be greatly appreciated!

The thread has been a fun read, but I got a bit confused...

Num · #**396** December 21st, 2010, 03:00 AM

Well, you should hear Lihaassa too but :
There is an alliance since turn 50+ of Bandar Log (Nrasch), Shinuyama (BvG), Abysia (You !), Jotunheim (Finalgenesis) and me (Vanheim) against the Evil Genius Machaka (So, Lihaassa).
Machaka is leading the game since the beginning (in terms of everything) and is full of overpowered monster supercombatants, equipped with the best artefacts available. Of course, research is at his maximum, or almost. His gem income was huge for a long time, only reduced by the steal of the Eternal Pyre by Abysia and my Vans raiding the rearfront.
In addition, Machaka has destroyed Man, is at this time destroying Shinuyama with ease, and is already at war with Bandar Log and me. Machaka is much powerful and is going to win soon if we do not stand and defeat him.
Only R'lyeh is neutral (but should help us anyway). The previous player has declared war against Machaka a few turns ago (need to check the nap end turn) and we are waiting you to attack. We need you. Badly.
Here you are. Diplomacy is simple, isn't it ?

Lihaässä · #**397** December 21st, 2010, 11:55 AM

@Ragnoff - welcome aboard! I wish you look through the game statistics instead of Num's propaganda. He's attempt to turn everyone against to Machaka has become rather annoying. Just look objectively before acting. Abysia hasn't attacked me with single troop so far and as I see it, you shouldn't either. If you have read this thread through you can see that there is a lot to take everywhere around you.. not just across the tiny border we share. I'm willing to take a NAP5 with you if you decide not to attack.

@Nracsh - thanks for stepping in and taking the responsibility of hosting.

@Num - I didn't take a single province from Man. I give the full recognition of their destruction for PvG and Muse

nrasch · #**398** December 22nd, 2010, 03:44 AM

Hey all, I just checked Llama server, and Abysia and Van haven't sent their turns in. Do we need another extension?

I want to ensure Abysia has enough time to get up to speed.

@Ragnoff - I believe you and I have a NAP 5 in place, as I gave you a province for the treaty as well as some goodies.

Lihaässä and Num have done a great job summing things up as far as diplomacy and state of the game, so I won't add anything to their fine work. Needless to say, you get to play kingmaker in this one. ;P

Nathan

Num · #**399** December 22nd, 2010, 06:54 AM

Kingmaker ? Not at all.

Anyone who have some scouts in my lands and in Machakas could see there is no summon monsters in mine, anyone who can look at the stats could see that I am far away in research, and that the province number do not represent something real (I have landed some lone raiders this turn).
And anyone in the game since the beginning can give evidence that I am not (from far) leading the game. I was never in this position.
At last, there is an evidence that there is no choice : Every player has agreed that Machaka is the only one threat, the alliance has not happened for fun. Not detroying Machaka here and now is giving him victory in 25 turns. No discussion about that.
If you follow the game from turn one to 55, I have never been in a position to win. Never. Not one time. And certainly not now.

I would like every player could testify.

Anyway, I can play my turn this evening in no time, but Abysia shall need more time for sure...

Ragnoff · #**400** December 22nd, 2010, 09:18 AM

It does look like the previous ruler of Abysia ended the NAP with Machakas, but I cannot tell if offensive action was possible on this turn or next, although I think it is next turn.

One thing that is a bit of a problem is the unique summons, I am not sure what has been sighted so I am afraid I will be throwing gems/slave away on things already summoned. Not sure if there is really anything to do about that though.

I should be able to get this turn in on time.
