So it's free for all war now in Turn 65?
not that I have any plans...
-
Yup.
-
Seems likely. And there are several player(s) on player(s) actions in go already... should be a very interesting turn indeed.
Even for those of us studiously on the sidelines of these conflicts.
-
but usually we must wait for the returned DOs of #64 before the start of turn #65.
Am I right?
-
You are correct yesterday. It is also normally polite for us to wait for the glorious DM to at least fire the starting pistol before we start running! ;)
-
Discipline appears to be very good. I have not seen any that purposely start off prematurely.
It can get a bit quiet as we with honest patience wait for the new turn to start. But this waiting has deep elements of foreboding. The cliché “quiet before the storm” could be well fitting.
The fog the covers the future hint at what to come, but mostly one can only discern mere shadows out there in the land of time to come.
Well, then there are the scions that have the gift of foresight. The years next season is as familiar as the last for such, indeed they see fog too, but further afield out there in the land of time to come.
-
got my DO today! :-) I am happy.
...now I await the PH. I am excited, but more from expectation then dread I must say.
The Plan holds true, like the blade of finest steel cutting cleanly.
-
I'll have time for a new batch both tomorrow and Wednesday, so everyone should have their DOs back by then.
-
as I have my DO now I may not be the right one to say this but still, take your time Bjorn.
It's your game, the rest of us are just lucky to be allowed to play.
-
I've begun wondering if it would be any sort of help if I moved all the war information from the emails into the DO for turn 64, or if I should just update the DO for turn 65 with the results...
-
I expect to have a little time to look into my returned DO sunday before sunday evening but if received after that I may likely not be able to do much RoE before a week have passed or possible longer.
Bjørn Please either bear over with that or try to return IHH DO earlier ::)
EDIT: Seems gmail is currently down. I expect the issue to be solved today but one never knows. Bjørn you may like to send my DO to my alternate hotmail account as well as gmail
EDIT II: My Firefox constantly refreshes 'Loading...' page
Some users of gmail have reported that Firefox continually refreshes as Gmail loads. If you're experiencing these infinite browser redirects, sign in from our secure site at https://mail.google.com/mail.
That solved my access issue and thus my gmail is again an option to communicate with me :)
-
Could we maybe start some slow IC dispatch action? as a warm-up? Save any large surprises I think the P&H should only confirm the results of the DO, so I'm ready to go about scheming and dealing again.
-
I think a number of people are waiting on their DO's - starting dispatches without them seems a little rude ;)
-
I don't think there's more than a handful of DO's remaining, but those players'd probably be a touch peeved to get left behind.
Meanwhile, everything alright on your end, Bjorn? Are we just seeing the impact of Jon's departure, or are you having to deal with other problems?
-

I believe Bjørn have told no to similar question before and probably will tell no again.
I for one have not received my DO and to be left behind by those fortunates that have by them starting to exchange dispatches, will not exactly cheer me up :o
Please wait and be happy you got your DO back - use the extra time to fine tune the logistic etc ;D
-
In fact using the time to start on your turn 65 DO is a good start; I know I have made a start on that at least....
-
Indeed, although events have a habit of abruptly changing plans - I've wound up with several 'next turn' descriptions over the seasons!
-
Sorry I'm so slow...a bit of illness, a bit of work, a bit of autumn depression...I'll do my best to finish the rest of the DOs this week. Then you can start dispatching.
-
Entirely understandable Sir, sometimes autumn and the long dark nights hit like a sledge hammer.....
-
Indeed - take the time you need, the last thing we want is for this to become a chore. Keep us updated. And let us know of anything you need from us.
-
dont rush it, better to have a pause until RL slows down a bit, if it ever will.
-
There's clearly a need for the DM to eat more cake to keep energy levels up. It's a known fact that cake has fantastic healing powers.
-
As do hot showers. Hot showers cure anything short of decapitation.
-
So then I'm to sit in the shower all day, eating cake?
-
A *hot* shower, don't forget... cold ones will do nothing but make you cake all soggy :P
-

In old videogames I used to play when I was a young boy to heal myself I usually needed to find coca-cola small cans
-
Hm. We'll need some kind of cake-protection-dish built into the shower, clearly. I'll see what I can sketch up.
-
Sort of a diving bell? Only with built in cutlery and plateholder?
-

I hear it is excellent for the waistline as well..
-

Yeah, plus a small refrigeration unit blowing in from the top. We'll need that to keep the steam from the shower from coming up from below and ruining the cake icing.
-
The little one got the fever back again yesterday, so no updates until she recovers.

I was about to get ill but eating serious amounts of Garlic and lots of sleep kept me going and the next day I was back on track albeit in need of keeping the distance to other people due to some small smell issue ;D
However that probably wont work that well with child less than 2 years old - my thoughts go to the parents and the sick child

How do you eat lots of sleep? :D (just jerking your chain. I'm seriously at risk of loosing my mind at work due to an insane boredom)

Best of wishes to the little munchkin.
-
Not sure garlic works against le flu de pig. But if it does I think I'll sell the secret and get rich!

Yeah best wishes and thoughts. I know what that is like and it can hardly be described as fun....
-

Even if it doesn't, you can probably sell the secret anyways. I am beyond disbelief at the things people will unblinkingly believe in the medical field these days, just because a celebrity or "this guy in one of my forums online" says it's true.
-
I know the garlic/sleep combo works for me when I am about to get a cold.
Thorsten: For you I will contemplate brewing a batch of beer on garlic :P

Oooh... interesting! I'm always up for new experiences. Especially when beer is involved. My initial thought is, that it would go well with roasted lamb. :P
-
certainly with lamb!
-
grrrr...
Now I have flu du swine...
-
And a new picture, I see...
As you know by now, you need to eat sleep, drink garlic beer and eat hot cake in the shower to get better...
Best of wishes for a quick recovery ;)
-
I've made garlic vodka before. You'll be surprised to learn that it's not very good.

I've tried alcoholic beverages (some kinda wierd shot-thingy) with garlic and chili... First of it's not the thing you'd want to get drunk on, and secondly it's just plain *bad*
-
Garlic cures anything. Even bad breath. - That is, if YOU eat garlic yourself; anyone elses bad breath becomes less of an issue. ;D
-
Since you guys insist having garlic as a topic; cook the garlics in water for say 20 minuttes and then pour out the water - then you can use your garlic in your food without the bad breath potentially being an issue
-
Then what is the point of the garlic?

With actual garlic and chili? Ew. No, this is garlic-infused (flavored) vodka. Still not very good, but better than THAT would be.
Interestingly, the peppercorn vodka wasn't bad.

With actual garlic and chili, yeah... it was free, which does wonders to the flavor, but still not recommendable... I had to try it out, surprising stuff may make good drinks or shots - like peppercorn, for example - wouldn't have thought that :)

Ahh, but would you still be able to scare off vampires? That's what I'd like to know...
-
Health back on-line. I'll start processing again on Monday.
-
Woohooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am feeling much better too -- I think swine flu has too much hype ...
-
I'll need to send you a "Self-vaccinating baby" pin for the kid, Bjorn. ;)
-
Glad to hear the sick ones are getting better :)
-
Ok, now my son has the flu (most likely). This is like the worst autumn ever....
-
I wish him to get well
-
Are you FUCKING kidding me!!!
My son now has an ear inflammation (not is it called that - but its when puss and shit cause pain by pushing against the eardrum). Most likely a direct result of him having the flu earlier on. And the missus has something similar with her sinuses. So now both are at home...I mean, come on, this is getting silly!!!!
I have several meetings today, but I'll try to get Coeranys and PETG out. They are mostly done already, just need to add in some last details.

I've heard of pouring warm salt water in the ear to dry out the inflamed areas. Based on our previous discussion, I will now recommend pouring Kasper's garlic-water in his ear. Also, at a certain point one does have to wonder if we're just not SUPPOSED to have this turn. ::)
Good luck dealing with it all, Bjorn - sinus and ear problems are some of the worst, and it really sucks having to watch your kid deal with the pain involved in them. Best wishes.
-
Avoid using penicillin if at all possible.
Its been shown that if you do use antibiotics to put down an ear infection, the risk of it happening again is higher, than if the body manges to handle it on its own.
On the other hand, if his head is melting it may be the best thing. :-p
-
They are feeling better no...the missus needed the penicillin, but the kid just got better on his own....
-
Good news at least. FIngers crossed for a full recovery.
-
I never expected me to say this, but I've actually been a bit relieved that the game has been slow of late. It's been silly season at work since I got back from holiday, so have barely had time to check my e-mail. It should get a bit better now, so I'll try go through my old e-mails and reply to any outstanding messages and questions. If you're waiting for something from me and I don't get back to you, feel free t osend me an e-slap.

Add in an e-slap to get a reply to the above questions too while your at it ;-)

I will be out of contact for a few days (probably until saturday) and will try to respond to all contacts when I'm back :)

Noted.
