Dominions 3 Middle Age "GROGHAMMER" game [running]

[undercovergeek]

he fought you? or you witnessed a battle?

[byrdman57]

I saw the battle.

That was the final move of Myrmidon, not me.

Hopefully he didn't suicide all my troops off somewhere. ;) (I haven't seen my position yet.)

claes man, heads up, you staled last turn (you did not submit your turn and the 48hr timer expired).

Shit!  Thanks, I had completed the turn but I must not have mailed it in.  I typically check to see if anything major happened: not sure what, but I just take a quick look at what happened, and then I end the turn and let it sit in my mind for a while.  I have been so busy recently, and this sort of game is ideal.  At night, when it is nice and quiet, and I am calm from my nighttime pharmaceuticals, I load up Dominions 3 and try and figure out a way to not get myself slaughtered.  Then I email the turn in.

I'm thinking that I might not have missed much, but thanks for the heads up, I will try not to let that happen again, and if so, I am fine with the penalty.  It's a decent amount of time, but honestly the turns have been taking me quite a bit longer than early game, and I don't see that changing anytime soon, so I will have to plan accordingly.

maybe a good idea just to put a shout out on here if theres 3 or 4 hours left and the turns still outstanding - as long as its not going to get seen as turn harrassment

[JasonPratt]

^^ Good idea. I'll try to pm or resend the turn to anyone who hasn't come in by then, too. (The server sends a 12 hour email alert.)

[Phobos]

I usually get a 'turn received' message within a couple of minutes of sending.  I like to keep an eye on that, simply because I have attached the wrong turn file a couple of times, even forgot to attach a file once.  You get an error message in that instance, telling you what the problem is.

[JasonPratt]

^^ Me, too.


Okay, with Mother's Day this weekend, and with family coming in from out of town -- and with a whole new different faction to study and plan around -- I'm going to bump the gameclock ahead until sometime around 8:20 Monday night US Central Standard time. (Assuming I did that right; the first time I tried it only moved up to Saturday... still only Saturday... >:()

Find a Mom to hug this weekend! -- none of us would be here without their heroic self-sacrifice!!  8)

[byrdman57]

Aye, my mommy is coming to visit me as well. Fortunately, her bed time is like, 8pm, so I'll have plenty of time to do my turns in the evening.

Can it be someone else's mom? especially one at the the younger end of the age scale?

[claes]

Your obvious ploys to solicit concern and an easy hand over the weekend by mentioning your mothers means nothing to okken.  You, gentlemen, will fall lower than the rest as an example to others.

OOC:  Enjoy your weekend ;)

Sure! They need hugs, too!  :D

[byrdman57]

FYI, llamaserver is still showing the turn due early tomorrow morning.

[mkivcs]

I don't think that was suppose to happen

[JasonPratt]

Wut.

>:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

It didn't even send me a 12 hour warning. i got a 12 hour warning with the Middle Age game (and sent my turn in), but not for this one.

Oh, but it did go ahead and do a 72 hour delay afterward.  ::)

Did anyone else get caught by the clock goofiness? I have no idea whether Ulm was disaffected by it (so to speak), so I suppose I haven't lost anything, other than a turn of progress compared to anyone who sent in their turn. I feel bad for anyone else though. I did try to send it forward safely.

Anyway. Now that the clock has turned over, I've set it back to 48 hours so once we've caught up to Tuesday (or less than 48 hours shy of Tuesday rather) it should be back to normal automaticaly.
