I've set build queues, I hope the AI will follow them!

If we are going to be stopping the game for a few days around christmas, then a few days around new years then we might as well just stop it for the whole week in between. A couple of extra days wont make any real difference and is less confusing

I agree. (Although I don't mind continuing) I think it's best to pause the game from December 24th till January 2nd.

That works for me, though i don't mind playing it'll probably be best for those at war if we just have the week off.

Nitro e-mailed me: he needs someone to replace him, because he's too busy and feeling well either. Anyone who'd like to step in? Otherwise I think I'll ask Shabbaman, because he has seen Nitro's spoiler. (And hopefully no more.) I have his password, by the way. [satan]

x2. I'll stop the game 24 December in the evening and restart somewhere on the 2nd of January.

Did you find a sub / replacement for Nitro? Maybe a post in Opponent finding will help?

Game suspended, back on-line in the New Year.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! :)

I left nitro/nitros account a christmas present! :)

Have a good christmas everyone :)

so when is the game coming up again??

happy NY every1!!

Happy MMIX!

Back in the air.

Happy NY everybody!

Whoah, what happened to Nitro?

Kicked to AI, I presume. He doesn't have time to play.

Correction: Eliminated my BCLG100, apparently! :eek:

CivStats has been down most of the day now.

Currently the turnclock is at 8:45 to go.

Just to tell you guys that my invasion of Nitro had been planned long before he went to AI and the effect would have probably been the same except i may have lost a couple more units. I delayed slightly to see if a sub could be found without giving away my intentions (hence me not saying anything about it) but in the end found i could no longer wait. My apologies if it appears i was taking advantage of the situation but that was not my intention :)

That's ok. Even if you were trying to take advantage of the situation, we couldn't expect you to do anything else.

I'm not sure how this is relevant, but Plux did not login to the game for quite some time now. Is there a need for a sub or a switch to AI?

That's quite remarkable. As tention has risen the last couple of turns, you wouldn't expect him to forget about this game.

We could ask Stapel to fill in.

I haven't been able to login since my laptop (my only system) at home does not boot anymore for some reason, and I haven't been able to make it work again. I'll ask Stapel to fill in for me for the time being..

I've filled the spot!

is this a permanent or a temporary change out of interest?

you can count on it that it'll take a while (a couple of weeks) before I have things back in working order again, so you'll be stuck with Stapel for a while :)

Pyramids in Mongolia? Always thought them to be an Egyptian thing! ;)

Equally ironic that i'd have built the Great Wall...

Looks like the end will soon be here for Sumeria.

It was fun early on, developed into one of those games where everything hinged on a single combat that decided the fate of the nation. Fortunes of war.

gg all - let me know when the next one starts, I'll be interested.

Did you maintain a spoiler or would mind to write one about this game? We really like spoilers here! Not that I hope to be allowed to read it in the near future btw. ;)

There is still a few turns to go, at least 5 and up to 8. It was a hard job chopping through all these hordes of archers of yours, a really bloody job.

I am away until Feb 10. Shabba is subbing for me until then.

Have fun! :)

Because I was last, I finished the new turn as well, but I didn't DM you, Stapel. Hope you don't mind. (We have a no-DM deal.)

Well, I trust you didn't DM! But your remark suggests you did make an aggresive move :) . I'll see tonight what futile moves you came up with this time ;) .

Nothing like a bit of trash talk to liven things up:)

Ye, hear me, go kill him (or them), it is a crowded map, let the blood flow! [rocket] [plasma] [rifle] [mgun] [shoot]

[hammer] [hammer] [hammer]

Blood has flown alright...

Well we've got rid of two folk on our continent, your continent needs to get a move on!

I thought it were a pangea map. [lol] Need to pay attention to details and work out the strategy. Good thing somebody noticed. [lol]

And more blood shall flow! As president of the new foundation "Say NO to Hoogezand", I'm quite happy to announce so!

Oh, razing cities is off. So now I own Hoogezand.....

Server's down.

Does this mean I have to take Hoogezand again?
