You had a good go Hatman. Now you know how important dominion is in the long run.

As for lijacote's undead hordes... I've been expecting you

Bluff, call.

[lijacote]

I would prefer a twelve hour extension. I have an unscheduled (scheduled but forgotten) appointment with some kids I need to teach some HARSH POLITICS

[E. Albright]

12h extension imposed for greater suffering.

[Hatman]

It would have been nice if HARSH POLITICS came up while I was still looking for terrible action movie names.

[lijacote]

A few kids might have opened up their hearts and minds to the possibility that perhaps our world isn't working as well as it should, that maybe limitless greed and for-profit motivation isn't quite the best. Perhaps. It was not as HARSH as I would have liked.

Sent in my turn.

Hello! I'm just going to rudely butt into your game thread and advertise that game Dominions 4 - Round 11B needs a sub for Jotunheim!

We're well entrenched in the late game at this point (TURN 82!) with several contenders for the top slot. The game is 9/18, level 1 thrones only for victory. Jotunheim is in a good position, enjoying several in game years of peace between its neighbors with some strong resources at it's disposal for people interested in playing the late game and trying out strategies they might not try otherwise.

Jotunheim currently only has two thrones in its possession but the opportunity to expand if the more aggressive player is interested in seizing them. Shoot me a PM if you're interested in taking over and I will happily explain anything that needs explaining. Thanks for reading!

Liches do not cry,
but if a Lich could, The First Mage would shed a single tear for his people,
for all people

If only You had seen His light, people would be happy and You would be comfortably banished in a not too nasty plane of existence,
Happy.

Meanwhile in Agor...

[lijacote]

If there ever was a thing that shattered as easily or easier so than Agor's dreams of dominating and slaying the world in the name of light and happiness, it would be my motherboard. My new motherboard, damn it, too. I'm going to require... some time to fix this. I am not reluctant to pass over the nation to a substitute player if we want to avoid delays -- my position is easy, centralised, secure, and there is every possibility that Lissasa might matter for something in the end.

At worst, this delay will be until after the Finnish elections and when I get pay for getting involved in them. At minimum, I will require three days to purchase and get a new motherboard shipped. I will need to secure financing if I want to get it done that fast... eh.

[Delta Foxtrot]

Personally I'm not opposed to a 1-2 week pause, but I'd also be quite ok if we get someone to sub in for the duration to keep this so far well rolling late game moving along.

And I guess now would be a good time to mention that I'm going to have to leave this game in about 5 weeks, which by the look of things shouldn't be an issue if we keep the current pace, even with the abovementioned pause.

So... Does Frumple feel like steering a C'tis/Sceleria mishmash for a week or two?
Or anyone else for that matter, it just seems like Frumple is the local sub master.

edit:
I postponed the game by 29h while we mull over what's to be done with Lissasa.
edit2:
I will naturally postpone it further if we end up taking the long pause.

[Darkwind3]

I'm not opposed to a pause either, though I do worry that with a long pause enthusiasm for the game might go away. I think everyone still left is capable of coming back to late-game turns like this after a drop in the momentum, though, so I'm not seriously worried.

A short-term sub is most likely a better solution, but finding subs is difficult at the best of times.

[E. Albright]

Just to get all voices heard, even if my only contribution is an indecisive squawk, I'm good with whatever. Keeping rolling is nice, but less playtime for a bit means I'm more likely to spend that time e.g. actually finishing and pushing out the assorted half-finished NG updates I've been mucking about with forever, or such nonsense.

[Delta Foxtrot]

I guess we'll be pausing unless someone steps up, then. I modified the thread title but I don't feel the need to advertise it further.

[lijacote]

I have a plan to get a new motherboard for this Sunday, but I can not promise that I can get it installed on Sunday, never mind if my computer has any other problems with it. I hope to sweet baby Boulder it does not.

[lijacote]

I've fixed it on schedule. Ahead of schedule. Sent in my turn.

Spoiler: For those curious as to what the hell happened (click to show/hide)

 I'm not sure. I thought my motherboard broke, and so I got a new and better one. I am not sorry for that purchase, this one is much better in every way. That said, after I put it all up and successfully booted up, and shut down again (for updates), it got into the same... rut. Not booting up. The problem is, apparently, this empty HDD I had connected. I've disconnected it and now it works just as well. I am extremely tired. Elections tomorrow. In six hours.

[Delta Foxtrot]

Was that the second Elder Necromancer I killed?

Sweet statistics, batman!
