  • Ulm's Voldemort, the Hammer of The Great and Powerful Trixie

Whoops, that was not the dude I wanted to send in. Don't think there's too much of a difference, except for the name (which is obviously the most important part).

Hammer and anvil! How cool.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

Breath and Fist isn't a bad pair, either.

Most Important Follower is totally phoned in, though. Even considered in isolation, that just seems uncreative. I can only assume it sounds a lot more impressive in the original Ermorian.

Casu Fragizu's disciples sound like they're squabbling: "I saw Her first!" "Yeah? Well, I'm the one who tells people about Her first!" "Mooooooooooom! Eagle's picking on Me!"

If "He who Saw God First" didn't shatter the minds of lesser beings in the original r'ylehian...

Because that's arguably worse than "Most Important Follower". At least that is something with a degree of substance. Moobah apparently just got there first and started bragging.

... as the ninjaedit alludes to.

Maybe it's not talking about actually seeing her first, but rather seeing substantial blackmail material first. It would make more sense, in that case. Less "I saw it first", more "I got dirt first, all you scrubs step off".

I dunno, aside from the very real sense in which it just sounds like Moobah is calling dibs, "He Who Saw God First" at least sounds auspicious. Most Important Follower is just so... descriptive.

(And thus began the first holy war on Urraparand, when the foul priests of Casu Fragizu slandered the great prophet Mars and called His Most Holy and Jacobean Title "descriptive"...)

Was out yesterday so I missed all this. Are we doing a time limit on turns?

Yessss... 24 hours, at the moment. You can check the game page for when the next due time is.

Do note that Albright can extend turns and whatnot, but especially early we kinda' wanna' keep things skippy while there's not really much to do that takes time.

Well it's the first turn, so it's normal to take some time to process it (especially because we weren't warned before this one).
Is the delay 24 hours exactly, or 26-28 so sending the 2h early one day doesn't mess with the next day ?

He basically asks whether quickhost is on or not. It's usually on by default, so the deadline is not set at any given time of day, but rather it's 24(or whatever) hours after the previous turn has been processed.

I always find it useful to set the hosting period to something a few hours longer than a simple multiplication of 24h, as it helps some people deal with the deadline drift - most people have jobs/other commitments, so there's always a set range of hours during which they can play; if you leave it at 24h, they may find that one day they can do their turn after work, while a few days later they might not be home before deadline.
Setting it to something like n*24+6h helps offset this problem.

Exactly that.
But nothing about quickhost. I love quickhost. Let it on ! c:

I agree with Il Palazzo entirely on this point and am pre-emptively setting hosting to 30h (as I'd kinda meant to do so anyway), so y'all get an extra 6h. Which is good, since we're at T-4h and still only have half the turns in...  :o

Huh? That's, um, interesting. It was listed in admin options as 24h host time; maybe it defaulted to 48h for turn 1? Well, now there's six more hours on top of what there already was, so host time is 0217 GMT Friday.

(No one should feel obligated to use all that time, though.)
