Crispy™ Dominions 4 PBEM - Gateway and Archive Thread

[Malakal]

rip squids, you wont be missed.

Says the guy who won 4chan pbem as MA R'lyeh last year.

Yes and it was rather boring.

 

[Kane]

Winning by boring your enemies to death is a well-known and well-tested strategy in The Dominions.

 

[sqeecoo]

Erm, so how do I join this?

 

[Kane]

Make a pretender via the game tools -> make pretender dialog. Don't forget to put a password. Send the generated file to pretenders@llamaserver.net with the subject Decline3

 

[sqeecoo]

Figured it out, thanks!

 

[Matalarata]

I... did it... I think...

Tried using my 17 minutes of free time to test start a couple of games for my nation....
From my results I'm pretty sure we have a 97% probability that ilarity will ensue with an added 3% of "Oh, God why...?"

Here's the strategy I'm taking inspiration from. You could say this is all my nation strives to be, in front of the other powerful civilizations we'll encounter

[KoolNoodles]

Could I get a 12hr extension?

 

[Kane]

done

 

[Malakal]

done

You extended it to the fucking Thursday. Seriously now. I think it would take him less time to do a turn than it took to ask for extension.

wat? i told it to advance 12 hours.

edit: should be good now

 

[Grimwulf]

Next turn due: 12:04 GMT on Thursday March 19th

2016, I presume?

 

[Kane]

says Next turn currently due by 12:04 GMT on Monday March 16th here

2016, I presume?

lets hope not

 

[KoolNoodles]

Putting my turn in shortly, thanks for the extension bro. I mistimed my schedule, it was basically done before I left. Can't do anything about Arco though.

 

[pakoito]

Subbing for email notifications because I don't hate myself enough.

 

[TripJack]

in great arcoscephale slothfulness is next to godliness

 

[KoolNoodles]

Pretender sent, let the games of diplomacy begin!

I forgot to add this, I am now ready to embrace this nation of laws, sayings, and too many troop types.

 

[Grimwulf]

Frost Brands? Anybody? Will sell for 7 gems fuck it, for 6 gems of any type per sword. Have three pieces to spare this turn.

Spoiler

Moar are coming

 

[sqeecoo]

Drums, drums in the deep.

I am happy to learn that the Olms are actually endemic to my barbaric Eastern European region.

By the way, what's the turn timer on this game? I'd be happy with 48h.

And is expected to send your turns quickly at the start of the game, or is it normal to wait out the timer as in the other game? I wouldn't want to be impolite

We too have the fucking things (even if we call them from the Latin name, Proteus). They're adorable , just like the axolotl.

 

[sqeecoo]

We call them Man-fish, as if they weren't creepy enough already.

But wikipedia calls them Olms

 

[Malakal]

24h for the first 40 or so turns then 48h is the standard turn timer and I'd love to keep that schedule. Codex games have the tendency to drag horribly.

 

[thesheeep]

I agree. Let's at least try to make this a bit faster.

Drums, drums in the deep.

Will you be joining our merry underwater parties, then, from time to time?
I hope you like it as crowded and wet as a Japanese tram, because that is how it is going to be. I would offer you chopped squid but TripJack might find it offensive. And I do not want to offend people before the game has even started

 

[Kane]

who wants to volunteer for co-admin?
you need:
- a masters degree in forum posting
- 3 years of experience posting on RPG codex dot net
- be a teamplayer with strong social skills

Codex games have the tendency to drag horribly.

That's because ya'll a bunch of risk adverse faggits

I would, but I don't turn 3 for another month.
