Sent in the two turns now. I hope the delay wasn't overlong!

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

I worried, during the weekend, about whether my turn really got sent, because we were all waiting for someone and I couldn't see who it was :D
Other than that, it was OK :-°

Couldn't you check your inbox for confirmation email?

Good to be back on track.

I usually keep my mailbox open just enough time to see that mail, delete it, and forget I ever received it :)

Right-o. I've got 15GB of storage space so I'm not in a hurry to delete my mails :P

So... Everybody got the 'Dominions error on hosting' email, right? And everyone else can see that the game is no longer on the llamaserver game list? Because our game seems to have just vanished into the ether without much warning and I have no idea what happened or why it did that.

From llamaserver:
"Hi, due to a glitch a few games disappeared this morning (Wednesday). I'll get them restored this evening. llama"

So I guess we'll play the waiting game for now.

Edit:

"Update: It took more time than I expected. I'll get the restored on Thursday evening."

Further editry:

I will be busy tomorrow and the day after. If llama manages to conjure up our game tonight I'll make the necessary schedule changes myself, but barring that I've asked E. Albright to handle the postponement.

Our game is back!

And there are no nations! :D

I'll send a mail to llama tonight if they don't pop up soon.

edit:
I sent the mail AND it fixed itself. Hooray!
Now back to our regularly scheduled gaming (with scheduling irregularities for the early weekend).

Well of course we can't expect anyone to do their turn on Nevada Day. :)

Anyway, it's good to be back on. The map sure does seem crowded though, doesn't it? I'm certain one of my many neighbors has an untapped frontier I can manifest my destiny in, eh?

It is a bit on the cluttered side, is it not?  I think I started getting concerned about my future survival the turn I encountered no less than four neighbors in a single turn.

Yeah, this map is really, really cramped. Or else the starting positions were really, really badly clustered. I'm leaning towards cramped, but I suppose it could be both.

127 land + 18 sea provinces = about 13 land provinces each. That's roughly medium-sized as far as multiplayer maps go, isn't it? I feel a little packed in, but I think I've got my 12-14ish provinces picked out.

I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

Well this isn't spacious, that's for sure. I guess I should've looked for a bit bigger map after we got our ninth player.

I guess we'd best prepare for some early bloodshed then.

Hmmm, I'm not sure if there was much clustering in start locations.  Excluding sea provinces, no one started with less than three provinces between their capital and their nearest neighbor's capital, and from what exploration I've seen, it seems to be fairly well-spaced.  Some people got better starts than others, mind you (Agor, for instance, has few immediate neighbors but dropped in the middle of no less than five thrones, which has pushed their expansion in very particular channels, while Lissasia apparently had difficulty securing their own island), but I think it's just that some people expanded out to their limits faster than others, coupled with the absolute limits on expansion by the province count.  It looks like a couple people have already got forts already up and gathering, which is another caveat. 

Mind you, including sea provinces, I started with only two provinces between myself and my nearest neighbor, so there may have been some clustering involved.  Also, the first time I saw Midmatia and Illen's northern borders (shared with Samarir), I thought they were at war due to how entangled they were.  ^_^

Haha that's still not fully established. My hydras may have accidentally eaten a small army last turn when we both moved to take the same province. :-\
