Last time we had a rollback everyone started off unsubmitted again, even the ones who didn't stale.

Those who already submitted a turn technically shouldn't have to resubmit - but I like to make sure so I resubmitted mine.

Orca still needs to submit this turn. He was one of the guys who staled, so it would be great if he could submit.

Orca staled again. I am going to pm him, and hopefully he gets the next turn in.

So, I can't help but notice two things from the map:
1) Abysia is now the sovereign of Behemoth's Rest (120)
2) Behemoth's rest is a long, long, long way from the rest of Abysia

Anyone care to shed some light on this puzzling occurance? (My best guess is that Rabelais cast that wolves-in-the-forrest spell again)

Or it was a scout that took a province with no PD. I was able to pull that trick on Patala once during my war with them.

We should probably postpone the hosting, Orca hasn't responded to my pm, and he has staled twice on the same turn. If he doesn't show up in the next day or so, we will need a sub for his position.

I did postphone the game.
Tell me when/if Orca submits His turn and I'll Force Host the Game.

I think Utgard is already doing that. Last time I open my big mouth about sites. In other news... what the hell do I do now?

The Chelmian Council of Knigts recommends that you cede all land east of Province 168 to Caelum and Utgard as war reparations :D

Heh. I may owe war reparations to Utgard, but since Caelum owes them to me, i think it would be best if Utgard collected from him directly.

I think we need to start looking for a sub for Orca. He hasn't posted, PMed, or submitted a turn in the last 4 or so days. We can't let Ti'en Chi stale again.

Makes sense to me.

Oh wait, my bad - what I meant to say was, "you callous fiend, how could you even suggest such a thing? you will pay for the evil you have wrought, pay in blood!" etc. :-)

Maybe have Shiritai sub? He never bordered anyone involved with TC, so he's not gonna be coming in with any "free" info.

I'm pretty sure Abysia could arrange that actually. :tongue:

If Shiritai is willing, he should PM me his Email.

So, uh, do we have a sub?

Also, there's still a ticking timer in the RevengeOfTheDen info page that says we should all submit turns in 6 hours...

Please extend the timer Korwin. I think we can take Shirtai's response as a no. Maybe we should look for a sub on another site.

Well, TC's kinda fucked with the Chelmian forces lined up against it and the Agarthans DoWing them. I wouldn't exactly want to inherit that mess.

Yeah, there's that and I'm pretty loaded with assignments right now. Getting up to speed with T'ien Ch'i's situation would just take too much time. Good luck with your search for a sub.

Riding a position down in flames is easy. I just don't want to have the two leading powers suddenly get a huge shot in the arm as the only mid range power left on their side of the world goes AI. Can you picture how much easier this game would have been for me if Ermor had gone AI after I sieged his first fort? If I have to fight the undead to the last...unbreath, someone else can damn well stick it out.

BTW, thanks for staying in the game angelfromanotherpin. It has been fun.

EDIT: Okay, turn got extended to tomorrow. I think someone with an account should make a post on the shrapnel or dom3mods forums. We could also go looking on their IRC channel.

TC's army just revolves around cavalry (blessed and non-blessed), Khan thugs, and PD. It shouldn't be terribly complicated to manage.

What's tough is dealing with a two or possibly three front war (Ulm is still in this thing too!).

Edit: Yay, extended.

Often when a sub is sought for a beleaguered position a cease fire is offered on the wars the new person may be involved in for a short period, say 2-3 turns so they can actually marshal their forces and plan. An interesting variant on this is that they can attack ending the cease fire early, but then of course they lose their remaining time. (n-1 turn attacks are not uncommon) I'm not saying we need to do this as I don't know how dire TC military situation is, but it might make it easier to find a sub.
