it all plays into the hamster plan i presume

Have the Turks attacked you now then?

I'm not sure really. I was talking about England there. Maybe the Hamster plan is invading a crippled Venice and taking the remaining 10 territories required for Victory Conditions. At least i think he's at 35

no i'm at 33 so 12 anyone want to donate?

I'll donate the settlements "Kiss" and "My ass"?

Also, Sub alert- I'll be gone on the 22nd. I need a sub that can be trusted to do a few tasks while I'm gone.

sweet ok then change the names of your setlements and give them to me lol

I've not heard from Hashoosh in the last few days, given it's on Venice's turn, I've asked Mercenary to stand-in as sub. If there's no word from Hashoosh (or Brutian) in the next day, it'll be over to Merc. Huzzah for helpfulness

ok, received save, just installing the game and dling the patch and retrofit and ill play it, hopefully done by the end of the day (11:39am atm)

Edit: minor setback, kingdoms doesn't want to install, will keep trying but doesn't look good atm (12:33pm)

Edit: major RAGE time, said medieval 2 didn't install properly, noticed a fair bit of missing data, uninstalled it and tried to reinstall and it says its still installed. i think i'm going to have to sit this turn out sorry, but this is getting way to annoying, and last time this happened it took a long time to fix.

nooo, ok, I guess I'll have to ask around again

erm right

i was sort of kidnapped for a week long sabatacle, no internet, just got back half an hour ago. we left during a pretty bad blackout, so there was no way of notifiying
i'll play it tonight.
and by play i mean weep softly into my pillow as venice is destroyed, but hey!

edit: ok, e-mail has been checked, so the negotiations failed eh? time to throw everything and anything at england.
and i mean ANYTHING

has swarbs got the turn, cause that's what it looks like.

here's a scary thought, i get turkish funding and beat the english?

Swarbs has the save, but I've no idea if he's played it at all - assuming he hasn't then I'd be quite happy if you want to play the Venice turn (since you're hopefully taking it over properly, at least for a month or two) and then we can use Swarbs to play the Spanish turns when EoJ is out.

Swarbs had played it and now I have a turn again, huzzah! We'll have to sort out something for turn 68 in advance

yea the whole turkish funding thing didnt work out to well the last time I tried

So, Zsmart, are you respecting your ally's borders or going for a nice greedy land-grab?

I'll try and get around to updating the ranking charts in the OP this evening to bring in turn 67's scrolls. No surprises though, the Turks are galloping away at the top.

Just as an update, I've had an email back from Zsmart since sending the save to him - but no word on whether the turn has or will soon be played. I'll refresh this when I know more - if nothing by tomorrow I'll look for a(nother) sub.
Hashoosh to play the Turks for a turn and Swarbs to cover Venice again? That'd leave someone new covering spain while EoJ is away. Hopefully Zsmart is about and just not wanting to let me know what's going on...

oh I'm sorry sent on as of a couple of days P.S. the monguls are here

Righto, ta. As a further update - Selifator has been a bit delayed (including something that means he's had to reinstall the game), I'm hopeful the save will be passed on today or tomorrow though.

On the note of passing on saves to Spain, EoJ is on holiday so Swarbs or Hashoosh will be asked to play the turn (I'd forgotten to get that sorted out - tum tee tum).

Heyooo! I'm baaaack! How's the game been going? Turks aren't dead yet right?

The game has been toddling along quite well - although it's had an accidental couple of week pause.

I'm not sure if you were aware, but the Turks have had a change in ownership again with Zsmart having taken over after Bandito disappeared.

They're still leading the various ranking charts, mostly by quite a healthy margin. It looks to be building up to quite an interesting conflict and we'll have to see how that goes.

Currently the game hasn't moved for a while because EoJ has been on holiday and whilst I thought I'd got a sub lined up - I hadn't. Oops.

After that the turn will move to Venice and again whilst I thought I had a sub lined up (everyone having abandoned that sinking ship) I've not heard back from that person.
Venice is fairly much a gonner so if I get agreement then it may be better for me to load up the venice turns and simply hit 'end turn' without looking at anything. That's probably not tonnes worse than the AI could do.
If anyone does want to play the Venice turns then they're welcome to do so, of course.

Back and playing. Let's get this a-going, chaps

Sent save on, hopefully to all of you so you all know it's on

I'll try a bit further to get a Venice sub in place - if nothing by the end of tomorrow, Venice will be very inactive (i.e. I'll just end it's turn without any actions) and we'll just carry on.

edit- Venice skipped and Sicily played...

Righto - an update worthy of a double post (possibly)

I've had no reply from Zsmart one for some time now and so am looking for a substitute player for the Turks. I've emailed a group of the usual candidates (people who played on the other hotseats before they vanished) but have had no interest expressed (in fact I had no emails back at all, even to say "no").
I don't know where Zsmart is so this might actually be the chance to take over a major faction (leading all of the ranking scrolls) rather than a brief bit of assistance for us.

If anyone would like to take the Turkish turn, or knows of someone who would/might, please let me know.

Back from summer camp! and lo, this is not a camp with internet or power....


sorry about the short notice i couldn't squeeze the email in at the end of july, possibly procrastination, possibly not?

Anyways, i take full blame if anyone is mad at me for the no notice. I assume Venezia is finished then?

Ah well, i wont be gone again until (canadian) thanksgiving and/or christmas. So if you need a sub, noted that turks are taken, ill be available.

We're having difficulty with Monty's installation/reinstallation of patch 1.5 - if anyone has any experience of how to patch the New Zealand gold version (which looks like the UK version - but the UK gold patch doesn't recognise the disc) then help would be useful.
On that basis, we might discuss who takes the Turks forward (you could even power-share if you wanted once/if Monty gets things working). Venice could do with a new owner but it so close to being crushed that it may not be worth it.

well, mine seems to be working ok atm, seems to work within the first 5 attempts 3/4 of the time.
