Hello! I need to ask for another 24h extension, with apologies. I am attending an event for my birthday tonight, and did not find the time to do my turn yesterday or during work today.

Hello! Sorry for the late request, but could I ask for a 24h extension? I've noticed something that might make me have to change my turn and I'm waiting for additional information before I can make a decision.

Clever, clever Yomi. Moving shop to Agartha, I see.

We have barred the gates (...) can hold them long.

We cannot get out. We cannot get out. They have taken the bridge and The Underworld. Lightningrod and the Olm Spawn and four Earth readers fell there bravely while the rest retreated to Agartha. We still hold the chamber but hope is fading now. Soilheart's party went five days ago but today only four returned.  We cannot get out. The end comes soon. We hear drums, drums in the deep.

They are coming...

I am back; I should have the time to send in my turn tomorrow night, a little before it turns over.

Thank you all for the wait.

On the topic of the bakemono-sho, I recently saw a short video by a player advocating a bakemono-centric strategy for Yomi: https://youtu.be/91QAQT6qcEE

That player managed to put 750 goblins on the field by turn 12. I understand his thesis was essentially that this technique was so overwhelmingly strong it could be used to win early wars as Yomi and make up for the nation's economic disadvantages.

The approach somewhat feels like a one-trick pony to me; notably, the strategy is hard-countered by certain specific units (Abysian burning ones have high protection and AoE damage, for example; magma kids would likely fare alright, but would suffer heavy attrition) or by SCs who can ignore an arbitrary number of yari hits (not an easy thing at all in the early game - those things hit for 19 piercing damage with SoG). Still, the pony is strong and it is barded with 750 yaris, so maybe those flaws are acceptable.

It appears people begin to struggle with the 30h deadline a bit. I've changed it to 36h from now on (this includes 6h postponement right now, so that certain fish can maybe wake up).

I agree with the change to 36h given we are now entering the mid-game; but wouldn't an additional extension of 6h be appropriate in this case? If the squids asked for 12 specifically, I imagine there is some sort of scheduling reason for it.

Hello everyone. Karlito's own absence (and recent developments that seem to indicate I will still be in the game by then) have brought this to mind: I will be on vacation from August 14th to August 27th. I won't have the internet for the first half, and no computer to play Dominions (I believe) for the second half.

Would you be okay with taking a break then? I can retire, too, if it is too long; I am the second smallest player, as far as I know, so not exactly strong in the running.
