Yeah, I'm wrapping my turn up now.  It's probably no secret that Yomi and I have maxed out our research, so I'm busy trying to find things for my hundreds of research mages to do.

I just sent like 40 of them unescorted to take an indy province from 30 troglodytes.  I figured "hey, what's the worse that could happen, they all die and I don't have to pay their wages any more?"

And none of them died.

So, at the risk of giving out Marverni national secrets, that is my explanation for the last two turns taking forever.  Once I get more permanent jobs for the pure research mages (patrollers perhaps?), they'll hopefully be a bit quicker.

EDIT: Turn submitted.

[EuchreJack]

Sorry, but looking at my schedule, I'm going to need a 24 hour extension.  Sorry.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Postponed, is no problem.

[E. Albright]

Erp, I just did a 24h extension. Ah, the too-many-cooks problem rears its head already...

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Not really. The only thing I do have to advise on is if a turn rollback is needed to be done post first that your going to do it and wait a few minutes before you do it then check the thread again.

[E. Albright]

Well, yeah. Anything as drastic as a rollback would be handled with far more fanfare, teeth-gnashing, and prior discussion. Rollbacks are best treated as being way more difficult and serious than they actually are, with lots of pedantic lecturing and paranoid warnings. That's been my policy for handling them in Round 401, anyway, and we've weathered two of them without batting an eye so far.

[EuchreJack]

I remember in one game we restarted to avoid a rollback.  Granted, it was like turn three, but still...

...This is the last time I enter and submit a turn via a touchpad.

yeah, you can have gems for that, euchrejack.  On the upside, your tart is in a better place now.  probably.

Considering the nature of tarts, probably not. 
I'll be expecting a semi-generous gem delivery shortly (also lost the province, by-the-by).
EDIT: On the bright side, the dead tart didn't have any equipment, so you certainly saved some gems there!

[EuchreJack]

Thanks for the gems sum1won!  More than asked for, definitely fair compensation.

[E. Albright]

Postponed 6h. Helheim?

[Edit: Postponed 18h more.]

[gman8181]

Haha, what is doing your turn right before it's due at 3 AM not a thing anymore?

Edit: Sorry Atlantis but your dominion is killing me . I mean, obviously your not the only one but looking at graphs and temple placement, you are definitely the greatest contributor.

[E. Albright]

Well, in fairness, I have exactly one province without a temple in it, so it's not like I was singling you out with my over-exuberant proselytizing. But this was not entirely unexpected.

[EuchreJack]

I think we all need an extension.

[E. Albright]

I'll push it out 24h.

...and oops. I accidentally changed the hosting interval to 24h instead of postponing 24h, realized my error, did the extension, and then fixed the hosting interval. Which, um, means we all just got a 72h extension. Please don't take advantage of all of it unless you reeeeeeeeeeally need it...
