Managed to submit my turn. I'll shorten the hosting to 36h, we've already gone over the usual hosting and I don't want the game to get overly bogged in delays (which... yeah :/)

Well, that's weird. Ember lord tries to fly 2 provinces away and ends up at the same province he started in. Sounds like some mod incompatibility. What do?

It's not incompatibility, it's this CBM version. In 1.84, for some reason Ember Lords have map move 1 and don't fly. Whether it's an oversight from llama or a design choice I have no idea, but it bugged me too when my first EL rolled out a while ago.

Thing is, that was a bug and it was supposed to be fixed among other things when the patch was out. Ingame, it shows me that they actually have mapmove 2, and flying. However... Well, you get the idea.

Obviously it's not a design choice. Geez.

OK, so Huitchoka has staled thrice in a row now and is apparently looking for a sub. Would have been nice to tell me :/.

Since Deathjester has also asked for a delay this turn, I'm going to hold the game until the situation is clarified. Marignon being one of the three main powers, him going AI is just not going to happen.

Damn. Subs seem hard to come by. What do we do?

Like you say, Marignon AI is not an option. Should we post over at Shrapnel as well?

Yes, finding subs is always a pain in the arse, especially in the late game (for lots of obvious reasons). To make matters worse, I really won't have much time to dedicate to the game this week as a rush job came my way :/

So yeah, if someone could drop a line on Shrapnel forums, as well as trawl the IRC channel, I'd be grateful. If one of you is a goon, feel free to ask them as well (but do mention that there's no going AI or giving up in this game ;). I've heard that goons are more prone to doing this, don't know if it's true but better safe than sorry)

Just one question: who are "goons"? Regulars from the Something Awful forums?

Yes :) That's what they call themselves, and who am I to argue ?

So. The game's been on hold for a while now and I admit I'm beginning to lose interest. I've tried sending Huitchoka PMs to see where he's (or his sub situation is) at, but his inbox seems full.

What do we do ?

Set him AI and let's fight over the spoils. Cancel all alliances and deals. All out war!

That would pique my interest!

I am sorry but I don't think thats a good solution if he wasnt at 2nd position in the game then it would have been fine but that is too important to be set as AI

That, and because he's got basically one fort per province, the AI is going to a) take an absurdly long time to take out and B) go completely nuts recruiting chaff and will be rolling in every direction at once with overwhelming forces.
Sure, it'll be forces that can be dealt with relatively easily, but they won't stop being a pain in the arse for every one around, ever (and incidentally make life very nice for everyone *not* around, as Marignon's neighbours will basically have their hands full shovelling shit all turn long).

Bottomline: not happening. I'll let the game die in a draw before I switch Marignon AI.

A better solution than not playing, is it not?

Let us look for a sub for another week, if none is found, let's play anyway!

Edit: saw Kobal2's reply. OK, well put and you have got a point. Very well, let us give it a week or so.
