If i know anything it’s a community effort, and any skill at scripting large battles at all owes so much to the likes of watching (and losing to) other players, but in particular scribble and mysterio.
I’ll comment further when i have more time, but even though ermor still has considerable fight left in it, about 1000 gems worth of construct, artifacts and other material were lost in the grasp at victory and i don’t think that’s recoverable to win the game. Knowing that Fomoria must have been pretty hurt from that attack(and it was far more impressive than i thought it would be), i would say it’s Kelan’s game to call - Yomi might be in a position to claim the thrones needed.

I was waiting for a PM to go through first, but I am fine either way on the Snoozers game. I started a little late and got a few things off the ground very late so I am quite a bit behind the major powers and don’t feel confident I can make any grab at the win at this point. If Pan truly has that sort of income level, I severely doubt I could keep pace against him especially with the high end battlefield spells they are throwing around.
My only chance was to keep trying to capitalize on others misfortune and fighting and try to keep gradually improving my position. If I had a couple more research levels right now I may have been able to make a dent and push for the win, but I am probably 15-20 turns away from that as I really underestimated how long it really takes to get to Level 9 and sort of wasted some research on some tools that looked fun over those that would help me win the game. I will certainly keep trying if folks want to continue, but I am also ready for a new game and was a fill in to begin with anyway :). You guys can make the final decision.

I would have liked to continue - the immediate concern of an Ermorian victory has been thwarted and my next step would have been to turn against Pan (hopefully with the assistance of everyone else!). My goal in dominions is to always go for a win even if it seems remote, thus my attack on Ermor to prevent him from winning. Unfortunately the resulting positions may have given Pan too much of a lead.
The last turn really set me back in terms of army size and it would take some turns to recover. Though I think I still have the battlefield-wide spells and mages to defeat Pan in my own dominion.
I’m fine to call the game - I can’t win on my own - though my preference is to gang up on Pan if others still have it in them to grind out the turns ;)
Yes, this. Always enjoy watching some fireworks!

So are we calling it or what? It sounds like everybody is willing to cede the game to Akaoni, but I want to be sure before ending it.

Not to derail the evil, dastardly, and truly diabolical plotting against me in Snoozers, but I did stumble on a team game being created on the Desura forums, and I signed up to play.
Perhaps we can have a QT3 team in that game? I would not be interested in being the pretender, but it would make for an interesting game.

Akanoi passed me the current? savegame from Snoozers and I recorded a pair of battles, Fomoria vs Ermor and Pangea vs Ermor, but I don’t know if I should post them if the game is going to continue, as it would reveal the scripting?? Or maybe it doesn’t matter at this point?
Maybe just one or two more turns, to see how things ‘pan’ out?

FEAR THE PAN!!! A MOST AWESOME, CUNNING, and if I dont say so myself, WORLD DOMINATING TURN HAS BEEN SUBMITTED!!!
From the top of Point Panjandrum in Panama, I pan my panoramic gaze over the panthers, pandas, panzers, panderers, and pantywaists panicking pantingly. Will the pantsuited, panhandling, enemies of Pan cause Pandemonium? Do Panpipes cause Panaceas? Are Pantries filled with Pancakes? Panthesitic Pantropicals will pantomimic in pantaloons until a pancreatic pause.
(actually just repositioning to defend against Yomi and Fomoria…or AM I???)
I actually read that as “Are Panties filled with Pancakes?”. Lucky I’m not Snoozing.
It should have done, the missing player got the turn in an about hour after the extension.

It’s getting kinda exciting out there! I think this is the “Big Armies On The Move” phase of the game?
