Yeah, I'm also worried he is in the snowball category. Esp as a lot of dom3 players can be rather, serious about the game.

Play your turn! It is serious business!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Ya, that's why I'm very reluctant to just sub him out, as in a way that'd possibly be victimizing him even more. It can suck when you plan out some strat for dom over a long period of time, with visions of strategic glory, the lamentations of women, etc. dancing through your head, then things fall apart on liftoff. Throw in the pressure on someone who is fairly new, and it makes them pull away more. Which adds more pressure. Then things start to get hostile, then he disappears for good.

Torgon, just play, it's fine!

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

check if he played his turn in the other game. If he has and has read your message then sub him out if he hadn't replied

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Share the burden of the decision by going democratic; put it up to a vote. My vote is to find a sub and get on with the game. If Torgon wants to clear his name, he can do so in another game.

Sounds good, vote away. The Crippled God just arrived, so I can wait a bit.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

The Crippled what? Is this some sort of slang for your period?

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

Hate to be a jerk about it, but waiting drives me crazy. I understand things in real life making you take a long turn every now and then, but this is too much for me. I vote to replace.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

That one was a bit of a stretch :rolleyes:

My vote is to wait. I get the feeling that's a bit unpopular, I know, but I don't want to turn a newbie game into a mob to chase out a potentially put-upon newb as well. In any case, if he doesn't have the courtesy to respond to PMs or ingame message or something in the near future, though, that's another thing entirely.

Re: NewbsWithLowSelfEsteem - Year 2: Attack of the Dead
 

I'm inclined to wait, even though I'd like to get on with the game. Torgon, if you're reading this, then post here! Do something!
