From the game status page it looks like yskonym didn't get his turn in before the deadline. What happens in that situation?

i didn't get a turn-did you?  i think he extended the turn for another day.  so if he gets his turn in in the next day we'll all get turns at that point.  if not, he'll probably delay again.

Looks like he's already updated it (and the other game) for Tuesday April 9th. Otherwise the system would have sent out new turns for everyone, including him; with the game assuming he does nothing for his turn except what his faction would have done automatically anyway (like research).

I knew there was a good reason for putting wifi on planes.

Sorry about that guys.
We ran into some delays, made the night way too long and I  needed the sleep first. That would have made me stale on my turn. Can't have that now can we? ;)

Turn is due in a few hours.

Ok guys, we have an issue with the current game.

Gameleaper has contacted me about not being able to continue with the game due to personal reasons. I have asked him wether he would be able to present a replacement player to take over his nation, but he hasn't replied yet.

If we don't get a replacement for him the only option is to turn his nation to AI controlled. Not a very good alternative, if its up to me.
I'll keep delaying the game until we have a solution.

Perhaps one of the new players in de MA game on here would like to take over?
I have another stopover coming tomorrow evening, so I would be grateful if you guys could fix this while I am away?

I probably wasn't going to be able to play a turn after Saturday until sometime Monday night anyway.


Some of the guys in the 3rd game might want to pick up an established position. I'll ask tomorrow.

It looks like one of the folks from the MA game is willing to step in. He's a newbie, but it seems like most of us are as well.

Relevant to this situation, at the very least, important information for a player taking over for Arco.

Arcoscephale's invasion of Bogarus was halted by superior magic.  There is enough barbequed elephant to feed my entire nation for the rest of the year and Arco is poorly prepared for a counterattack.

It may not be fun inheriting a war, so after Bogarus reclaims it's territory, we may be prepared to discuss terms with the new management of Arco.

Ooh, there was already a war and I didn't even know about it? No message board taunting? For shame!

There is not much to tell.

Bogarus captured a territory neighbouring Arcoscephale's empire.  We sent them a message, saying that we would be willing to negotiate a border arrangement.  Arco stalled negotiations and then proceeded to invade.

My first thought was "Wow, that is a lot of elephants..."

I sacrificed some cavalry and took out a few elephants, while recruiting some forces and marching them to my borders.

Arco got overconfident and went all-in on an attack.  The nobility of Bogarus are now wearing lots of ivory and dining on massive steaks.  I'm now confident in my ability to kill elephants faster than Arcoscephale can produce them.

Sleep, Paralysis and Rage were instrumental spells in my defence.

There was some good-natured and in-character banter between Gameleaper and I via PM.  I hope his personal issues are not too serious and wish him/her well.

odd how often 'personal issues' flare up immediately after a massive defeat...
