Tough. You get a 12h extension to submit your unchanging turn. Okay, yes, that's because (ignoring you and me) there were fixing to be as many stales as submitted turns, but still.

Anyway, unrequested 12h extension. Barring explicit requests, though, staling will proceed at that time regardless of its scope.

[Delta Foxtrot]

Postponing an extra 12h due to request. Will also postpone next turn until early hours of saturday due to request.

If I may make an unusual request, since the beginning of my tenure as deity to the people of Deathig, I have had a policy of giving mages names intended to suggest astoundingly terrible movies, mostly in the action and horror genres. I have run out, and wouldn't mind hearing any the thread might have.

Right before Aliens vs Predators came out on DVD, they had a movie with an almost similar name.  It is still the only movie that I have been unable to watch till the end.

Found it! AVH: Alien vs. Hunter  Boy, did that suck.

Looking at the studio that made the movie, they have a long history of making terrible movies with names similar to mainstream movies.  And just terrible movies.  So you can just go to their page and start name stealing.

You could also peruse TVTropes' "So Bad It's Horrible" page. Although you may pay for knowledge with time by venturing into that infernal realm...

horrors op

[E. Albright]

Well, as of today's patch it'd only be one of them, so they're slightly less OP now, FWIW...

(As an aside, Demonic Locusts are very cute but expensive.)

[Darkwind3]

Perhaps we should extend the turn a bit? I'll have time to get the turn in but there are some problems with the new patch - most importantly, bugs with remote attacks that summon independent troops and with gem alchemy (gem->gem, I don't know about gem->gold) being treated as cheating (and subtracting as many gems as you alchemized instead).

e: also, if you didn't see yet, new patch out. The pretender overhaul is here!

[E. Albright]

Yeah, there do seem to be some bugs, and some of them seem potentially significant. I'll push 12h to make sure the admin proper has a chance to decide whether to delay it further.

[Delta Foxtrot]

You guys want a few days postponement to see if Illwinter is going to hotfix something?

That sounds perfectly reasonable.

[E. Albright]

If nothing else, given how cheat detection is wrecking alchemizing gems right now, it's probably for the best, yeah. Um, I'll push it 48h and continue not submitting my turn?

[Edit: Argh, I swear it was still listing as due Friday when I wrote the above and extended it. My fault for not extremely explicitly refreshing right before making the change. My apologies.  ]

[tompliss]

Eh, better to extend twice than not

[Delta Foxtrot]

Sounds like the best course of action.

[lijacote]

Wow. I am almost inspired to create a new game for animal pretenders. Maybe once the That Which Sleeps map editor (which is looking quite amazing) is out, I'll create a map (yeah right, as if I'll ever get one finished...) and set the game up. I mean, look at this.

It's a shame the Serpent of Chaos looks to be unavailable to the UW nations, being amphibious and all, I think it would be kind of neat. But maybe it makes more sense that the serpent's home is on dry ground.

[Delta Foxtrot]

So this just got posted:

You can expect a patch in just a few days to fix the alchemy bug and a few other things.

We have a timeline!
