Destiny of Empires [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread]

Sorry for being a dumbass, but somehow when I upload my image as an attachment (by using "go advanced" and then "manage my attachments" and then uploading it, and then selecting it and clicking "insert inline"), it then displays it as a tiny image, like a thumbnail. I now uploaded it to imageshack instead, and then it displays it at the normal size. What am I doing wrong?

(btw, excellent storywriting Native Americans )

[Robert]

Yeah, 24 hours is absolutely 'given' when requested. And from now on I'll do it automatically.
We just had many miscommunications. It's important to read and communicate very carefully in these circumstances. But we got through it, thanks for that!

My apologies to all the players of the game for this holdup, but hope you understand my position considering most of this developed while I was away for work.

We may want to entertain the concept that whenever war breaks out, any parties involved can request turn slow downs with the longest request taking precedence. It is the only way to make it fair.

Works a pain isn't it - just imagine how much civ you could play without it!

On the slow down, that is standard procedure already. Anyone about to enter or in a war can request the timer extended, not only to ensure people don't miss their turns, but also to allow enough time for turn order to be preserved.

Native Americans, did you notice I sent you bunch of powwows a PM? Just checking...

Great news.

[Robert]

Game is now unpaused, you can play, Arabia.
I will turn the timer back to 8 hours.

Thanks.

[Arabia (DoE)]

Sorry was late. Please just start it whenever Robert.

Egypt and myself have come to an agreement. Turn the timer back to 8 unless anyone else objects.

[Robert]

If that's still not going to work we need to find another solution.
Perhaps someone else can sub for you for at least 1 turn. Maybe you can ask someone who's available a lot. Just tell him what he should do. It can't be much at this stage of the game.

If you contact one of the guys from America (in-game America) it shouldn't be a problem b/c they're not going to be involved with Arabia in the next 3000 years anyway

[Robert]

Arabia is an hour late.
I'm going to sleep now.

I've PM'ed Ozzy and asked him to connect to my server and server-side unpause the game when Arabia surfaces.
@Arabia: please post here and pm Ozzy when you're ready.

[Robert]

Launching the game now. I'm going to server-side pause it immediately. I'll check this thread for Arabia to confirm that he's there

[Robert]

I hope that I'll be home in time. I have a meeting somewhere else.
If I'm not in time to re-launch the game for Arabia, then I will be in the 1-30 minutes that follow.

[Robert]

PYT is completely confused. Just ignore it. Keep an eye on this thread.

[Robert]

no problem. Thanks for the PM. Game was up and is now down again.
Arabia told me in PM that he's able to play 9 hours and 48 minutes from now
Game will be up then.

[Arabia (DoE)]

I see that now. No idea why I thought it was erased. Thanks Robert.
