Re: Tourmaline - Mod Nations Game (Playing)
 

Actually it seems I'm going to have to postpone. I got roped into a last minute late night blitz game on irc. I'm not going to be able to do the turn until tomorrow anyway. Sorry.

Ossa has agreed to sub for me. In the interests of easing his transition into the game I'm going to add another 48 hours to the clock. He may or may not need all this time. But I have a lot of commanders.

Re: Tourmaline - Mod Nations Game (Playing)
 

Welcome Ossa. Instead of getting a sub for yourself rdonj, I would have been happy with just a 3 way tie being declared. But, as you wish.

Re: Tourmaline - Mod Nations Game (Playing)
 

Septimus threw a odd message this turn in the game. I was kind of confused what it meant. I'll assume it was about ending the game.

As for keeping this game going, I've been playing just out of sense of commitment for the last 15 turns (really, I never had the slightest shot at winning, I'll explain in more detail if the game is declared finished). I'd be really happy just to call Itza the winner and save ourselves 20 turns of struggling*. Also, I really can't understand the 3-way gangbang I'm facing, but I guess there just wasn't any way for you to know my lack of clams.

But my turns are getting simpler and simpler, so I will play on if people want to. I always love to play last stands.

*Let's be really honest here. With a map this huge, this is a clam game. Most clams = win.

Re: Tourmaline - Mod Nations Game (Playing)
 

I believe Ossa is playing Itza, and I think Ferrosol is playing Alugra (rdonj are you still admining the game/updating the main post?) Which nation are you playing Burnsabr?

If Stygia(myself), Itza, and Alugra agree, and there are no more objections we can end the game and declare a winner or three way tie.

Re: Tourmaline - Mod Nations Game (Playing)
 

I didn't even mention your lack of clams to ossa. When he took over, I decided that your telling me about them should be kept secret since our conversation had been likely to lead to the game's ending at that point. I can explain the gangbang though. Stygia and nehekara have basically been allied this entire game. When stygia and I signed peace so that I could try to save haida gwaii from you, stygia decided he wanted in on the action. I think nehekara joined in for a chance to grow his empire.

It sounds like everyone but trumanator is willing to call the game at this point (and I don't blame him as he's not had to fight any of the major world powers yet, with his bloodstones and SCs he should be sitting pretty happily right now). If you still don't really want to play on, I have no problem ending the game.


Septimius - Yes, I am still admining the game, I'm kind of an administration specialist :P. Also, burnsaber is alugra. Sorry, I completely forgot to update that on the main post. He took over for ferrosol fairly early on when he disappeared.

Re: Tourmaline - Mod Nations Game (Playing)
 

I'm playing Alugra, Ferrosol stopped playing on turn 40ish? and I stepped in.

Re: Tourmaline - Mod Nations Game (Playing)
 

Well, if Ossa is in agreement we can quit and declare a three way tie, however since Ossa has just joined, he may wish to keep going a bit. I'll continue for the sake of anyone who wishes to keep playing. So let us hear from Ossa on this matter and anyone else who may wish to do so?

Re: Tourmaline - Mod Nations Game (Playing)
 

I am going to be busy with ROTC essentially all this weekend, with absolutely no internet access. If I could have a delay till Monday that would be great.

Re: Tourmaline - Mod Nations Game (Playing)
 

Granted.
