I may very well ask him to donate all his drps to Nor Yekith.

Well, it looks like I cannot take holidays without momentous events happening :D I'll surely miss Montressor (and I hope he'll join a future P4) but I can understand all too well how swamped he may be with his doctoral thesis, so I'd like to wish him all the best, and to ensure he knows he's always welcome to chime in (in this thread or even - as Etzli - in the Hall of Lost Worlds).

As for extensions... thus far, only one player has sent turn moves; I'd like it if at least once in these last few turns we could get everything out in time, so - given also the amount of stuff going on at the moment - I'd like to only accept turns that come in before I start processing. And THAT I will start as soon as I have received enough turn moves (which, depending on the general lateness of everyone, might take some time...). In your case, Lore, I'd suggest you send me a draft of your turn moves, and then when you're done redefining your strategy, you send me the final version; this way, if I haven't started processing yet, I'll replace your draft with the final version, whereas if it was too late, you'll still have turn orders going into processing, even if the "draft version" is different from the final one. Would that be acceptable?

Well, I can't say for sure whether I would be available for a P4. In case I am, I sent Xar a PM regarding that, with a suggestion for which domain to play. If it is possible for me to 'bag' a domain for the next game, I would like to do so.

Let me think...

mmmmmmmm....

Nope.


:biggrin:

First of all, this damned well better be a way premature discussion! :lol:

I have at least four domains in mind, any one of which I'd be happy to play. But I know some others are eager to claim one already. Heck, I've even read one person's P4 Revelation! 8O So maybe it should be addressed in some way or another.

Unless Xar wants to ignore it entirely. :D

Are you Xar?

If he turns it down, that's fine. The concept simply could not work with any other domain so, if I didn't get that domain, I couldn't participate in P4. As enjoyable as the game is, this is no big deal - it's just a game, and I'm a busy person.

After Xar letting us know he was safely back, ^this^ is the best thing I've read all day...

...although, I will admit someone approached me about allowing them to play a certain domain in P4, after I did my Aesir reveal. like, no way would I attempt to play that domain in a Pantheon age...

...after all, I am not of the line of Bhakti...

I think I'll stick with what I know... ;)

...speaking of Aesir, back to work on my Turn...

I thought that was common knowledge.

Heh.

Or I was just kidding around. Hence the :biggrin:

Perhaps we shouldn't start talking about P4 and claiming domains until P3 ends. That could be a long time from now. :wink:

I hope so.

I only mention it because I will be basically gone from this site in about two or three days.

Well, already a few other players asked whether they could reserve a domain for a future P4... now, depending on the events of P3, the start of a possible P4 might be far off yet, and in some cases, those players who asked to reserve a domain unknowingly wanted to reserve the same domain, so I'd rather avoid these "advance bookings" entirely for now. Rest assured that when P3 ends and P4 possibly begins, there'll be plenty of advance warning for you to register for it and to discuss who gets what domain :D

I sure hope so! The Third Age isn't even three years old yet.

Trust me, there are some gods who are trying to make sure it doesn't celebrate its third year :P

Possible???? That implies that there is a chance there won't be another game. 8O :cry:

I think it only means P3 may continue for a long time.

Could depend on if the AllFather wishes the game to continue on Eiran (which is my hope), and if Deva's stated intention to "redress the defects in this AllFather experiment called Eiran" succeeds, I imagine...

...although knowing cho, and her tendency of having good intentions backfire...

...oh, this next season should be interesting, to say the least...
