Hm, so I read this and figured it was patched (midnight here) and patched mine (hadn’t been) and did my turn and uploaded it and Nagok gik fel down go boom smash crash bang.

Inquisitor and MistSpell have been patched to 3.20 and restarted. Both are on 96 hour timers.

I got an error saying version mismatch this time on Inquisitor, but the previous error was different, so please let me know if Inquisitor craps out. I’m not really sure on what “bad pillager” (as opposed to a good one? that pillages your stores of rodents and bugs, perhaps?) error is, so hopefully it also was version-related.

If not, you really might want to consider wrapping Inquisitor up :P

5543

Works for me now.

5544

So, evidently, when a Pocket Ship’s description states that it allows an army to sail across one “ocean”, that means one ocean province.

Sigh.

The fight against Jomon hits a snag in the far west when a 140-unit army attacks a fortress only to find it occupied by an Air Queen and her Fire Snake minions. Shamblers stand no chance, and all are killed.

Reinforcements, which were to arrive by Pocket Ship, are stymied.

5545

I can’t connect to Pax Ermor. It hangs on the connecting to server screen.

On Inquisitor, I’m ready to call it a day and award Jomon the victory. He’s so far ahead in gems, research and provinces that I don’t think we can stop him.

5546

i can’t connect to pax ermor or morningstar - haven’t patched yet, as no instruction to do so?

5547

Speaking of Pax Ermor, I sent Kraaze a PM asking for an 48 hour timer to be put on Pax Ermor.

5548

Awww… I would hope to avoid a second anticlimactic ending, given that I won Hoplite by default after the other players dropped out (I remember that the last, C’tis, left due to RL pressure + the stress of a massive game). Still, I completely sympathise, given that I’ve been in that exact position in another game.

As for Agartha, those reinforcements of yours should count their blessings that they didn’t make it in time to join the ill-fated attempt to storm the fortress. I wasn’t expecting that battle to be quite the extreme case of overkill it turned out to be – remember, you had those umbrals poised to storm as well.

5549

Oh yeah… the commander leading those Umbrals was Mind Hunted!

Well, you should see my reinforcement army. It is imposing. Imposing, I say! An army of Mechanical Men and Umbrals led by an Earth King. Who is currently stomping on his Pocket Ship and turning it into splinters.

Just for fun could we solve the connectivity problems before it goes on a timer?

I downloaded my turn Sunday morning but didn’t upload the finished turn because I couldn’t connect. It’s Monday morning and I still can’t connect. I’ve tried several times from several different machines.

5551

I’ve had several PMs and I’ve taken no action on any of them since it was a busy weekend and I haven’t had time to patch the server.

I’ll patch first and then once everyone confirms they can take a turn I’ll do the timer.

5552

Pax Ermor

I’m heading off to the wilderness Thursday night and won’t be back till Sunday. Is it possible to wait to do the timer? Or maybe make it 72 hours so I have a chance! Or I can find a sub just to take a turn or two… shouldn’t be a problem.

5553

Mistspell:

It’s Ulm vs the world! And um, Ulm has given the world a head start by stalling 2 turns in a row. On the upside, Pan’s last 2 forts fell leaving him with 1 fort and 3 temples. Pan has the most vicious combos but TC has the most troops (more than Ulm I believe). No idea what Marignon/R’lyeh bring.

Should be interesting to see if Pan can surge back or if TC can engineer a surprise. Ulm is on the defense till I get retooled and my troops come back.

5554

Mistspell:

R’lyeh bring fish.

5555

Hey peoples… I updated Marcin’s server status (with his blessing and help). Now called Monitor Lizard (at least in the UI, still named the same in the .exe and source).

I updated mainly for the fun of doing so, but also to add a few features (changed UI, able to ping multiple servers at once, and have set it ping servers automatically).

Can I get some feedback and/or bug reports on it? I’ve checked and I use it, but I handed it to Marcin and he found three bugs right off the bat (which I’ve fixed), so I’m assuming there will be more.

Let me know what you think and if it’s useful, if you would.

Thanks,
Matt

5556

Thanks, Kraaze! We appreciate you hosting the game.

5557

Nice way to remind me I still haven’t patched, and give me a little guilty motivation to do so ;-)

5558

Thanks for just being you, Kraaze!

5559

The server has patched and I was able to connect. Good times.

When I checked it was just Ermor and Eriu left to do their turns.

5560

I’ll play my Ermor turn tonight, but I think Eriu is away for the weekend.
