QM put up a sub post, and there's been some activity on the IRC channel, but if you want to help look I don't think anyone would object. =)

I am not even in the game anymore but have heard the cry for a sub. It amazes me though - why doesn't a player - anyone - just post for a sub if Namad refuses to? Copy and paste the post I used when I subbed out. Hell, it only takes a second.

Here is the language to use:

“Interested in playing with some of the most famous and deadly Dominions players in the world? The legendary Micah, the ruthless Calmon, the prolific Baalz, the resilient QM, the deadly Ironhawk, the wily Amhazair, the masterful WraithLord, among others. It is like the All Star game of Dominions, a veritable rogues gallery of some of the trickiest bastards alive. Even getting schooled by these grizzled vets is a pleasure.

You will be inheriting Midgard, er Utgard, in a strong position, leading in research with a nice gem income and province count.

The game has been a blast, just check out the thread."

You might have to cross out a few of those names or switch adjectives, but it gives it a little sizzle... And I won't claim you plagiarized me...

Okee doke, boys. As I said before the holidays I'm bowing out of the game. I had a blast but I'm cooked. This game was definitely one for the record books - I've never seen so many grueling hard fought wars!! And I look forward to hearing about how the Grand Alliance fares and who eventually comes out on top.

Vladikus will be taking over Agartha for me. QM is the sole admin now. Best of luck to all!

I object to a rollback. I had a good turn.

That said, I could be convinced to vote otherwise (hint, hint, wink).

Why the rollback?- Its not like the game crashed or something.
Does it mean we have to replay our turns from scratch?- And now ppl can just look at the new turn and adjust their orders.
Unless I clearly misunderstand something I think the rollback is not a good move. Is there anyway to cancel the rollback and cont. forward with turn 69. I'm also in favor of finding a sub for Utgard but its not like one stale turn is gonna change the game for Jotun.

I suggest to continue with turn 69, anyone thinks the same?

Well, we had like a week to do this turn. I know most thought that the game would be delayed until a sub was found for Utgard. But do we even know that a sub will ever be found for Utgard? There have been no takers yet.

Utgard's turn was blank, and I nor I think anyone else attacked him. So his blank turn is null. I also say we should continue with turn 69.

as I understand it, Micah had been told that there was going to be a final one-day extension (for a sub, or for Baalz to take over for Namad, and because Micah had some issues to deal with), but QM forgot to do it, leading Micah to stale, through no fault of his own.

There's no good solution in a situation like this - a rollback is probably best; everyone can submit basically a similar turn, although there is a real problem if someone's sneaky plans have been revealed. Normal attacks aren't so much of an issue, as everyone can tinker w/ their revised turns.

/me has no idea why i'm posting in this thread
