blackguard: just three things.

-I have nothing to do with atlantis attacking you. I bribed only R'lyeh (who was attacking me at the time in cooperation with u) to make it 2 vs 2 instead 3 vs 1 (im being the one). Basicaly you took revenge on me for defending myself.

-I didnt compare u to the AI, but your deeds in this game, i consider it a substantial difference, i dont see any offense in objectively describing someone's deeds as i see them. I have no problem with you personally. I'm convinced the AI wouldnt have given up all his homeland to get revenge on someone, so it would have behaved more reasonably if we restrict ourselves to game terms when defining "reasonable". I believe there were some emotional benefits for you to gain thru your kamikaze invasion, so I'm sure your deeds were also reasonable if we take out-of-game dimensions into calculation.

-I'm also convinced u had other, more optimal choices strategy-wise. Even if I dont count the massive change in the political landscape that happened since you took over, which could have saved you. Tho i know it might be mine perception/opinion only.

Well I'm out of this game. Real life is stopping me from having the time to play this game or even have more than intermittent internet access. I've sent in the current turn.

This game needs a new admin. If someone wants to volunteer that would be great. Otherwise I'm just going to send the admin password to the top 2 nations in terms of province count since should be in the game for a while.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

Just to make a few things clear from my end, with regards to Man and Marignon:

Man did not pay me or even ask me to attack Marignon. I made that decision of my own free will. My invasion was originally timed to start on the same turn that the previous Marignon player quit. I actually held back for a couple turns because I felt it a little unsporting to attack before giving the new player some time to settle in. At the time I knew only that Marignon and R'lyeh were both attacking Man, and indeed I thought there was a decent possibility that R'lyeh would be pulled into a war against me. I didn't actually find out about R'lyeh and Man's arrangement until just before I attacked.

Earcaraxe, you might be a little slower to criticize Blackguard, however. Granted, it's probably a bit annoying to have his army blazing through your backcountry, but his actions do make sense from my point of view (and his, one assumes). The heart of his territory is largely occupied, and he can't get his forces back quickly. Given the choice between throwing everything I had left at a powerful force, and carving out some new land, I have no doubt that I'd make the same choice. So, probably best everyone just calms down a bit, before someone says something they regret.


On an unrelated note, I see that Bonfire is no longer able to play. I'd like to extend a big thanks for starting this game and running things so far. For the future, is there anyone in particular who'd like to volunteer as admin? I'm assuming we'll need a few days before the next turn regardless, so as to find a replacement player.

Bonfire
I'd like to second Otherlings thank you for starting and admining the game. Hope your RL get back on track and may your connectivity never waiver. (sounds like a benediction)

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

thanks bonfire.

please delay the game after the resolution of the current turn by 48 hrs as i wont be in town until sunday evening GMT, thanks.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

I've delayed the timer by 48 hours. And that is my last act as game admin.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

It seems That C'tis will be set to AI if no sub-candidates shows up. Of course, a human player would be much preferable...

I'll extend timer by 24 hours as a last measure for sub to show up before C'tis is set to AI. Should you know of anyone who may be interested please direct them to PM me or respond to this thread.

I am open to suggestions.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

I have postponed hosting for 12 hours due to weekend committmens. Sorry for the delay.

Re: Gluttony - LA Game - Running
 

I'm AWOL Thur through Monday. I can submit last Monday evening CST. Is that too long w/o a sub? I will post for a sub if the rest of you feel that is a bit too long a delay.
