Concert of Europe: Rules and General Discussion Thread

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

His Majesty the King will offer a suitable reward to any author who can inmortalize the apparent insanity and hysterical behavior of Francis of Lorraine into a play (written in German) for all good Germans to witness, laugh, and reflect.

Pendelton Ward has it covered

[Spamage]

Just to confim, the turn does end Wednesday evening. Each turn lasts exactly 1 week from when the prompts are posted. If you all want faster turns (which I'd be fine with, like 5 days instead of 7) I would require confirmation from every player.

I propose this following compromise: 5 days instead of 7 but with the possibility of a 2 days extension if a player asks it.

I hate to sound like an ass, but is this was a real life, the world wouldn't be given anybody extension.

The first BoP was moving forward smoothly because of Lumine's healthy attitude: you didn't sent orders in time, too bad. I'm not criticizing Spamage here. On the very contrary, he'd going to have much more to process with extensions/last minute stuff.

Except that no "major" player yet even sent their orders after the deadline.

I would have to disagree with the proposal, just because I think consistency is paramount.

Thus far I've avoided turn extensions, something I'd like to continue. They can become fatal to activity as turns get dragged on further and further.

[YPestis25]

I'd be on board for the 5 day turn.

[Lumine]

I support a five day turn as well.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

If we adopt a 5 day turn, does it affect the current turn?

[Spamage]

No, it would begin with the next one.

[Lumine]

My orders are sent, I don't plan on sending more unless something unexpected were to happen.

I'm also working on a POV with Frederick the Great visiting Prague.

[Spamage]

Still missing orders from several players. 24 hours to go.

I encourage you all to send them in as soon as they're ready and not at the last minute. It makes setting everything up for the battles and their results much easier, decreases the time calculating takes, and allows for me to get to work on the next turn.

I have obligations until late tomorrow evening, but if everything goes well I'd still probably be able to get the results up (late my time).

Thanks

I will send evertrhing tomorrow morning

[Dereich]

I'll have everything left in by 8 or 9; my commute will be taking an hour plus longer than usual.

[Lumine]

Can't wait to see the results!

[windjammer]

Can't wait to see the results!

Personally definitely not

[Dereich]

Same here; it's very hard to be excited when it's a matter of (character) life or death.

[YPestis25]

Can't wait to see the results!

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Since I'm not playing can I see the results early

[Spamage]

Turn is closed, may the best strategist win


I do have some interesting NPC events (any guesses as to where?) that will be emerging this turn as well, hopefully Europe will be quite shaken

[Lumine]

Dammit, I'm really tense.

[Spamage]

So I was typing the military update, probably 70% done, and the processor I was working on crashed, causing me to lose all the work of my last 45-50 minutes. Beyond furious right now.

I'll start again, but I can no longer guarantee 100% it will be up tonight.

Been there on some game updates, Spamage, and by god it's annoying to see that happen. Keep up the good work!

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I know how it is to lose your work over a f**king glitch. Take your time. This universe isn't going anywhere.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Wow, that's bloody impressive how quickly you managed to put a new update despite previous technical difficulty!
