Its also very helpful (and RPG) to rename your prophet. But be sure to rename him BEFORE you make him a prophet. Once he is propheted (or in the Hall of Fame) rename wont work

Sweet!  I should have my pretender in by tomorrow evening (Hawaii time, so middle of the night for the rest of you, probably).

Glory to Abysia!

Two things,well three actually:

 

              1) Wonderloss thank you very much for setting this up!

 

              2) Shadowtongue your going to become admin correct? And it would most certainly be my preferred choice that you do please.

 

              3) Somewhat embarrassing but I have already encountered a problem when I downloaded the map I only received 1 file: Dawnofthemorning.rgb...............I put it in my map folder of dom3 and went to create a new game to look at the map and its not showing up.

               Every time I have downloaded a map before there would be 2 files a .map file and a .tga file.

               So how is the new guy screwing up? Looked in the Dom3 faq under maps and no help.

You are welcome.

You do not need the .tga file, though this does mean you cannot see the map in a new game. The .tga will be included with the turn files for this game.

I decided not to include it, due to the fixed starts. If someone has the .tga, it would provide them a way to find out where all of the capitals are located.

If you would like to load up the map ingame, I can make a .tga available that does not have fixed starts.

Wonderloss, thank you so much!

Hey guys,

 

At a conference through friday, but I can admin if you really don't want to.  If Wonderloss doesn't mind doing it for a few more days though that would simplify things for me a bit since I won't be as responsive as i otherwise can be.

 

Looking forward to it!

OOC yesterday the daily show had a segment called indecision 2012 "the awakening'  was funny.. and really scared me about all our pretrenders awakening so soon....

Has anyone besides Arco and C'tis tried submitting pretenders yet? I've been waiting on the automated confirmation mail for 3 or 4 hours now.

FYI - the server is down again. Every now and then, the processing ... process stops ... processing moves and issuing new turns. You can find out by checking the times and dates in your game:

 

Last updated at 12:27 GMT on Wednesday June 15th

Current time: 23:37 GMT

 

Usually, those times are nearly identical.

Yep, seems to have stalled ;)

 

Don't worry, when it wakes up you should hear back, and if not just resend in a few hours or so.

All hail the Great Lord of Abysia (now submitted to the llamaserver)...

Joe!

i have sent a file and is not yet accepted - is it server's fault?

Part of the Pros and Cons of the method. With PbEM LLamabeast doesnt have to keep a separate copy of Dom3 running for each game. He can use only one running copy to host each game as it comes up to be hosted. So he can run many more games. But the drawback is that if one of the games gets stuck, they all are stuck until that one is fixed. It happens fairly often and LLama can take a couple of days to get to it

I submitted my pretender on wednesday, and have not heard back... thnaks for the explanation.  I was a fraid I dd something wrong.  maybe I didn't, afterall.

Speaking of pretenders:  All hail Smurfette, high fetish of the blue.

Straight from the llama's mouth:

Quoting llamabeast,
With many apologies to everyone, the LlamaServer will be down until Saturday.

My internet connection has suddenly stopped working (after months of being a bit intermittent). My ISP, Virgin Media, confirm that it's down and will send someone on Saturday. So I'm afraid no LlamaServer until then.

It really bothers me to have the server being unreliable, so many apologies and I will do my best to harass Virgin until they sort their act out.

Elana, if you want to switch nations as we were discussing, this might be a good time to do so, since we are stalled anyway. Wonderloss said it should not be a problem... up to you of course.

Hi ghostwes,  I have thought alot about it, and Wonderloss emailed me about it.  I'm crunched for time this week, and don't have time, even with a sat/sun start date, to try and learn another nation.  Yomi is just to vulnerable to everyone else's banish spells. So i will stay with Smurfette.  Giants are way too expensive to use much, so i have (hopefully) worked out a way to take neutral provinces with a mix of non- giant troops.  Worked in SP...  we will see.  Thank s for the kind offer.

- Kindest regards,   -e

llama is back up!

 

If you got a bunch of 'invalid pretender file' emails back I think you're ok, so long as the last email you got was 'revised pretender file'.

 

Anyway, we'll see when we start!  Just waiting on one more pretender.

 

If it bonks we'll just restart, so don't worry.  Remember your pretender has to be made with NO MODS active.

Does LLamaServer allow the person to get full backups like the other servers? If LL has more problems you could move the game over to one of the others to continue it
Reply #123 Top

I think llama does, but really there are not usually issues with the server.  From my past experience with it anyway.

 

Well clearly he's having issues now, but it's his ISP or telecom or whatever, not the server per se.

 

Anyway, don't worry until the first turn :)  Get the pretender file in (*cough*Marverni*cough*) and we'll be off and running I hope.

I wasnt blaming him. He does seem to have more problems than the other servers but considering how many games and using a pbem system of almost entirely his own design its not a record deserving to be bashed. Its a great service to the community. And I think he is the only server that prefers the games as pbem

I don't mind waiting a bit more for things to settle, but I am starting to get a little tired of the corrupt 2h messages for games I'm not ever part of :P
