Its mostly a "well I at least did something before I perish" act then anything of tactical value. Investing those gems into summons might have been smarter, but not as entertaining.

I think I've missed so many turns in a row that I can no longer tell myself 'Don't worry. You can do the next turn when you feel better'.

Sorry about being such a piece of shit guys, but I need to drop out of the game. It's obvious that I'm not going to suddenly turn things around and start submitting things regularly. Better to drop me off so I don't drag the speed down anymore than I have. Sorry.

Well, pick up a turn and go AI then - unless you feel that you've still got a nation worth subbing.

Agreed - if your nation isn't viable (and number of stales do kinda point that way) it would be best if you could log one turn to go AI. I can find and swap someone in to throw the switch, but it would be a lot less messy if you could do it yourself.

So burden of time. If my dom4-fu is up to snuff which I doubt, dispel is the spell needed to remove it, and that is astral three? Anyone else not playing someone who lives for a long time like me?

EDIT: I'll just come out and mention I've been stocking pearls all game. Anyone wanna take bets on if I can do it on my own? How many death gems could he have poured into it?

I see there's been a 3 hour stealthpush. Let's hope it was enough.  :-\

With just a couple of hours left, I noticed that I didn't actually remember playing my turn.  :-[ It turned out that I actually had... but apparently I'd had enough to drink before doing so that I remember nothing about what happened.  :o

Decided it might be in my best interest to give it a quick once-over - turns out it actually wasn't too bad. Made a couple small changes, but I think I could've survived if the forgotten turn had gone through.

Okay, I'm gonna push things at least a day. Following a look-see by an uninvolved third party, the suggestion has been made that Tsihor is still viable, albeit a fixer-upper. So we are looking for a sub, preferably one who is at least moderately experienced, as Tsihor was described as having a lot of resources but also needing some finesse to take advantage of them...

Alternatively, cast at least 5 (actual number depends on RNG of which one gets replaced, could technically be nigh infinite) other globals. Dispel indeed is the intended way to remove a specific global.

Sorry for stalling,  I keep postponing when I have time to do this until I run out of time to do it. A short summary for most things in my life though :P

So, any luck in getting a replacement? I bumped the main Dom 4 topic, but it looks like it's fallen down to the second page again. If all else fails, I can see if a couple people I know on my Steam Friends list might be interested... but I warn that they're both known for occasional bouts of flakiness.

Otherwise, maybe let the AI give it its best?

I'll push for another day if you think you might be able to get a replacement - I've had no luck.

All right. Unless we have a sub in the next day (one more 30h push has been executed), we'll get to see how poorly the AI handles Tsihor's presumably-still-viable situation.

I asked my friend, and he thought about it, but decided to back out due to lack of free time.

All right, my arrangements to AI Tsihor have gone through, so I have forced hosting to eliminate the remaining delay and give us a weekend day to get back into playing.
