Doom and gloom

At least we can feel smug when he wins with an "I told you so!" :P

I'm happy to have been able to call it first.   ;D

Just looked at that turn.

The Bad News : That battle could have easily gone the other way.

The Good News : I have far more than that up my sleeve. :P

So, if one hypothetically loses ones God and ones capital, does one have any chance of coming back?

That depends. You can if you're Emor  8)
(generally though, 'losing your god and capital' strongly correlates with 'losing a war very badly', so usually no.)

Would-be invaders better beware. Pangaean Research Goal Epsilon has been completed.

And Midgard Research Goal... uh, probably beta (my research has been really terrible!) will be done next turn! Yay Thaumaturgy 2! :P

I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

Well, I was already losing two wars badly before my God and Capital snuffed it.  And this is my God's second time down, so he is almost not worth bringing back now.

EDIT: Damn.  He'd return to the capital, so he'll just die again.  Hope everyone enjoys a world without Booze.  I'd go drown my sorrows in some drink, but it no longer exists.   :'(

Does Jomon have a research goal? O_o Every level tends to bring "oh cool, 1-3 situational spells."

I actually made my research goal: Construction Six!

But nobody is alive in Gath to enjoy this, so meh.

My good people! Palazzo is not going to be able to continue participating in this enterprise. It's been fun and all, but the real life calls.

This turn shall be my last, and the only question to be answered is thus: would you folks like me to set myself to AI(mindless hordes after all), or hand the control to some other person(maybe Euchre, eh? To take revenge on your assailants with the hordes of your sometime enemies?)

I apologise to all the people that cast their votes on R'lyeh, I won't be able to make good on them. Frankly, I'm not sure I would anyway, despite some agitation from certain parties.


Anyway, do inform me of your decision.

We can increase the turn time! Don't leave us! I don't want to live a happy and peaceful life :(

That's a shame. :( I'm up for Shadowgandor's longer turn suggestion if it helps. If you do end up having to bow out I'd prefer handing it off to a human who has the sense to keep the Seas of Ice up. I'd love it if an AI took over and we could dispel it, but I think most human players would keep it up.

Also, if you do end up leaving I'll have a three game trend (that's statistically significant, right?) of a surefire way to kill a multiplayer game.

A human player is certainly better than the AI, though I'd prefer it if the person who took over wasn't nursing a grudge against me. :D

Even though you're going to win, Captain Pazz, I'd do almost anything to keep you in the game. Pay money, kiss your boots, 128hr turns, etc.

Please stay!  :'(

And here I thought you'd be relieved I'm leaving.

This is less of a turn time issue than a matter of my inability to participate for a certain period of time.
There's shit that I absolutely have to focus on doing during the upcoming forthnight, and honestly cannot afford any distractions, or at least not one of the magnitude that Dominions became.

If you're so inclined, the game could be paused for that period, but I'm not sure if that's not even better a way of killing the game. Also, I can't promise with 100% certainty that my absence won't end up getting extended.
