He staled on the other game too.  :-\

This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

I wouldn't mind redoing the first turn, not like it involves tons of effort anyway :P

Oh dear. It looks like Il Palazzo might not send his turn in on time.
The match has been fixed! I demand my bet back.  :P
You and me both.

EDIT: I'm not sure if we're continuing or not, but since I'll be out of town most of the day, I submitted my second turn, just in case.
Personally, I think we sort of need to hear from Il Palazzo before we decide how to continue.

Seriously, a Vampire count assault on my capital on THE SECOND TURN. Wiped my PD out without losing a single soldier and seeing how I only have 1 other undeveloped province I can't train a new army. I might die in the next turn which should proof to be a record for fastest dying nation ever :P

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.

Edit: Also, the hosting is set to 24h instead of 48 like it was supposed to be, so he'll probably end up missing at least one more turn.

I think that's probably the reason he missed the first turn. Hopefully we'll hear from him soon.

Yeah, I didn't send in my turn today either. We're all waiting for Il Palazzo to make his triumphant return.

Yeah at this point we may have to fully start over (which is sad because I liked my starting place), since I'm not sure how easy multi-turn rollbacks are. Regardless I'm going to stop sending in my turns too just because it isn't really worth it.

Sorry, I got sucked in by the void gate while I was trying to summon some internet connection.

While I wouldn't mind the game to continue as is, I understand that Shadowgandor got hit pretty badly by the RNG. Abysia and Jomon also stalled on their second turn, for whatever reason.

Anyway, I suppose it will be easier simply to restart the whole thing, and judging by the number of submissions for the latest turn, people generally agree.


Ah, yes. Due to the aforementioned poor internet infrastructure in R'lyeh, I'll need a volunteer to be my henchman in managing the game.
Duties include setting appropriate hosting period, postponing if necessary, rigging the polls.
The right candidate shall receive a complimentary Mysterious Password.

Fhtagn!

Since we're going to restart, we might want to consider a different map.  While the Warhammer map is certainly the most detailed map I've ever seen, the abundance of wastelands and not much else must be bothering more than just me (and note that my nation is perhaps the only one that actually benefits from wastelands, needing them for most national summons).

I mean, two of the starting locations are on the opposing arctic poles!  And the sucker who starts on the South Pole has to kill the sucker on the North Pole in order to acquire non-wasteland-land.

Personaly I think we should stick to this map.
And I'll only not offer myself because I'm currently on test week so I can't really be trusted with anything but my own shit :P

Well, I conquered the RNG so I'm fine with whatever choice. All my commanders even got some stars for it :P
Restarting is fine though, seeing how a couple of people stalled alongside you. Wouldn't be fair to beat you all that way :D
