Ah, I missed this message it seems As I would have tried to sort something out if I had. Sorry about that Gordon---------- @ All Atlantis staled again, so I will PM reinselc again, and give him until tomorrow to respond (else I will find a sub). Gordon/Man also needs a sub for this week it seems, so I will do what I can to find one. (If I have to play the turns myself for a week, which I don't really want to do, but will if I have to, then I will only do housekeeping and defend myself) |

@ All I've started looking for a sub for Atlantis, since I have emailed and PM-ed reinselc, but not heard anything back yet. If a sub doesn't appear by the deadline, then I will likely delay the game (as I don't want to see Atlantis get 3 consecutive stales) I haven't had a chance to sort out a sub for Gordon/Man yet, but I will try and do that this evening. |

@ All Still no sign of either reinselc or a sub for Atlantis, so I will likely be delaying the current turn to avoid them having a triple stale. Also, I haven't been able to find someone to sub in for Gordon this week either, so it looks like I will have to play the current turn for Man myself. As I said a few posts back, I will only be doing the housekeeping and defending myself, and certainly won't be attacking anyone. (but I will try to keep looking for a better sub-option than me) |

Aaarrrgggghhh ![]() Yesterday was stupidly busy for me, and as such I missed the deadline here resulting in another Atlantis stale (and an Utgard one for good measure)I'm going to try and beg steal or borrow a sub from somewhere for Atlantis over the next few days, but if that fails, then I really am starting to run out of options for how to solve the problem. As the game will become a bit of a joke if one of the leading nations has to be turned AI. So can I ask everyone in the game to please think of (and ask!) anyone they might know who could be interested and willing to sub in for Atlantis. There is also the option of promoting someone in-game who has either already been eliminated, or about to be eliminated, to take over Atlantis. It's really not something I like to do, as using players that have already been in the game means they are certain to know things they shouldn't (intel, attacking plans of former foes etc). But it is preferable to a major nation turning AI. So @ NaivePhilosopher, Ianh, and Swapoer (if you're still following) If there is no other option, are either of you three prepared to switch to Atlantis? and on the condition that you bring no former grudges with you against the nation(s) that eliminated you. (you can still attack these nation(s) of course, but not *just* because they killed your first nation) I'll try and grovel around the forums and IRC to find a sub by the weekend, but if you guys want to continuing having a good hard fought game, then can I please ask that you not just leave it up to me to find a sub for Atlantis. As the more players who are asking around the better

Based on my negotiations with Caelum, we've theoretically negotiated a withdrawal and return of territory, so I'm still in the game (again, in theory). I've discovered that LA Ulm can be quite tenacious, what with boatloads of immortality. I'll ask around in a couple of newbie games I'm in on the other forum though. |

Good to hear you're still fighting hard NaivePhilosopher and apologies for thinking you were on your way out (it's hard to get any real detail from just the llamascores)

Utgard Giants, we urge you to defend your lands! Your proud nation being designated by Marignon's High Inquisition Council as worthy of redemption by the Fires of Justice does not deprive you of the right to fight! Asmodeus and his retinue of Angels from both Planes need you to resist your doomed fate for the true holiness of Their mission to realize. In case the lords of Utgard show no sign of facing their responsibilities, we ask the superior, ultimate power of our Admin to manifest itself and provide Utgard with a true leadership. As Marignon theology holds that redemption reached by silicon-controled nations is all but illusory, and we truly care for the spiritual fate of our giant neighbors. |

@ All The current turn is almost certain to be delayed, as I need to try and stop this game falling apart As I still haven't solved the Atlantis entry on the problem list, and now Utgard have added their name to that same list as well.Once Gordon comes back then I can in theory temporarily solve one of the problem myself by subbing in, but until then this game isn't looking too healthy So if any of your have got favours owed to you by players, then now might be a good time to call them in to find some subs and save the game. (as I'd really hate to see this game disintegrate at this point, which there's a chance it will with major nations staling :()I'll be PM-ing Utgard/ StreetsAhead shortly to find out what's going on. (Edit - Done) |

Utgard seems to be being completely overrun at this stage, I reckon the best option there would be for you, calihan, to sub it the 4-5 months more that utgard has to play, to keep marignan from having to easy a fight against the AI. a complete sub would be a bit overkill for the position. |

I'm currently trying to work some options out behind the scenes. But numahr himself has told me he doesn't want a walkover against a staler either, so I'm confident something can be arranged, as nobody wants the current situation to continue. (and I'll delay as necessary until something can be done, as pointless letting the game host if doing so just devalues it) |

Well Utgard is clearly in an uphill struggle against Marignon (me). But completely overrun? I don't know. Yes, I have conquered some provinces, but as the graphs show I have not yet met Utgard's operational forces, either troops or mages. The situation all depends on what kinds of tactics Utgard can pull out against what I've committed, spells, summons, whatever. I would never call a nation "completely overrun" as long as its operational forces are intact. In Neophytes Delight I was down to two besieged forts, I guess some observers would tell I was completely overrun, but my troops were mostly intact and I am now back to 14 provinces. So let's not bury Utgard before the giants had a chance to prove their worth

I agree with indefinitely postponing until we can work out these problems. I'm sick of Atlantis sitting around doing nothing on my western front

After speaking to numahr, I am keen to sub in for Utgard. I understand they are likely to get whumped, but I am game for the fight! |

Thank you jimbojones, that would be very helpful ![]() I won't officially switch you to Utgard yet though, as I want to give Streets Ahead a bit more time to respond to my PM. As I only PM-ed him <24hours ago, and he's only had the 1 recent stale (or 2 out of last 5), which is not the worst crime ever committed, and likely not even bad enough to warrant the admin deciding to sub him out. But my patience has worn very thin, as the last turn he did play he didn't seem to do anything. Since as far as I can tell from the province graph, he's had some barbarians sieging one of his forts for ages (from turn 32 by the looks of it, and maybe even as far back as 29) and that is certainly not a sign of a player who's interested in the well being of his kingdom. Anyone who knows me knows how much I hate stalers, but over the past 6+ months, I've started to hate players who submit 'blank' or 'token' turns even more. As they're just the same as staling, apart from it being hidden from the admin logs, meaning the staling is a lot harder to spot unless someone in the game reports it. (and sadly not all players have the excellent sportsmanship numahr is showing by reporting it). Anyway, I'm fast approaching mega rant territory here, so best to stop I think So @ jimbojones - Can you please PM me your email address. As what I will do is get the current Utgard turn sent to you asap. That way you can take a look at it, and start formulating some defensive plans. While I give Streets Ahead the rest of the day to get back to me. Then if in ~12 hours time I don't hear anything from him, I'll then give you the green light to take over Utgard permanently. Sound good? |

I'm surprised no one is interested in the LA Atlantis position. It seems like a great slot for anyone looking to start out. |
