Apropos of nothing... (OOC discussion thread about the game)

[Goatkiller666]

Just a reminder: turn 6 is due by the end of day tomorrow. I have received three submissions so far. Youd all best take advantage of my free time over the holidays.

[Iztet]

Sent.

[Buriax]

and sent!

[Goatkiller666]

All players but two submitted turns. I've done my initial pass, and pretty much all of the non-combat stuff came to pass. Now the harder part is to resolve the inter-player combat. Of which there was surprisingly a lot going on. (There's your Cryptic Hint, Fist.)

After that, I've found some errors in my spreadsheet where I'm tracking everybody's assets. I gotta go back and check a bunch of the math, which might impact the counts of Souls that people have, or the counts of demons each player has altered / taken over. Don't worry, I won't dock anybody anything, but I may end up giving some of you extra stuff (or stuff that you already had, but we just didn't know about it).

I'm not going to promise, but I strongly suspect that I'll be able to get results out on XMas (which only matters to those of you who celebrate the holiday).

[Fist and Faith]

It's hard to think of anything cooler than getting results for the game where we play Demon Princes of Hell on Christmas.

[Goatkiller666]

I can. While I was fixing bugs in the spreadsheet, I discovered a few minor clerical errors. Some of you will get some serious extra stuff.

Also, there's like 117k Souls that didn't get gobbled up last turn after all.

I'm actually kind of waffling between embarrassment and annoyance that I was this far off.

Happy holidays, fellow princes of darkness!

[Iblis]

And yet no results.

[Goatkiller666]

Yeah, I did intentionally refuse to promise anything for a reason.

It turns out that Ore-sama's family watching the Dr. Who marathon is just distracting enough that I was unable to really dive into processing results much yesterday.

[Goatkiller666]

Okay, turn 6 results are out now. Enjoy. Map is posted to the What is Known thread. I'm going to spend some time trying to find pictures for some things that are not currently shown. If I do, I'll add mention of that here, so you can go look at it.

But, I think that's all of what needs to be done. Of course, if I'm wrong and you spot something I've missed, shoot me an email and I'll make it right.

Next turn deadline will be January 15th, at the end of the day. I'll thereafter have results out by January 29th.

[Abdul Alhazred]

Good lord... Did NOT see this coming...

[Fist and Faith]

It looks pretty serious there!

[Fist and Faith]

I just sent in a pretty big turn. But I'm told somebody else already submitted. I don't submit early because I want to be first, but I'm sure surprised I'm not this time.

[Goatkiller666]

You weren't first to submit for turn 4 or turn 5, either. (Which means you were first for turns 1-3,6.)

If you have all this energy, why did Vanir stop?

[Fist and Faith]

That's a different kind of energy. A kind I do not have in great supply.

Now why are you asking annoying questions instead of processing the turns that are already in?

[Goatkiller666]

Because it would be unethical of me to process turns before the deadline, so that all players' turns are given equal weight.

And Hell is nothing if not ethical.

[Fist and Faith]

You're right. I am but an egg.

[Goatkiller666]

Egg Zachary.

[Iblis]

What's the deadline?

[Buriax]

Because it would be unethical of me to process turns before the deadline, so that all players' turns are given equal weight.

And Hell is nothing if not ethical.
