I know I've seen this somewhere.

Does anyone else think we should update the list of players???
It took me ages to find the original list on page 20 and yet half those nations or players aren't even in this game, so I'm not sure who's actually playing in this game.

So just to make sure I have the story straight, I press-ganged Cleveland to sub for Mari, he declared war on Ermor, then staled 3x while Ermor mopped the floor with Mari's brains? Yikes. Meanwhile Man is back to staling I see, 2 more in a row for a total of 7 (~20% of the turns this game)....

I'd like to make an offer to end the game – the snails' pace at 72 hours, the parade of stales/going AI has removed any semblance of a real game, the fact the original intent of the game has been abandoned, etc. I'd propose someone either looks at the turn files and declares a winner or we just walk away.

That said, if you all want to keep this thing going, then we may need a sub for Man or let his neighbors devour him.

@ Executor: i can't modify the first post. We could make a new one if people want to keep this thing going.

DC,

Alas... I'll sadly have to second that emotion... So far between turns I forget what I am doing... I have enjoyed the game nonetheless. If we do end it I will make a final Caelum summary in the wiki. I'd be interested to read other's motives and strategies as the game unfolded and would be happy to share turn files with anyone interested. Awaiting other votes...

Just want to say, my last two stales were not because I had forgotten about the game. First one, for some reason I didn't get my usual llamserver warning about the turn being due, the second one I somehow sent the wrong .2h

Given that frustration, I'm particularly keen on calling the game off. ;)

I'm game, fight on.

Re: Chronicles_MA - General Game Discussion
 
Here's the prob I have:

Even winning this game would not be satisfactory and will take months at our pace. The landscape has been totally messed up by stales. For example, my strategic thinking was that Marignon would be a good counter to Ermor, but they just evaporated with stales/player transition totally changing the landscape. The same might be said about Atlantis (under its old player) vs. me (although we were allies), or TC, or Man, or Hoburg.... Even if R'lyeh won this, I wouldn't even want to count it. So why play on in a game where most players would rather quit and a quarter of the original ones have just vanished? Not to mention, the story telling purpose of the game has disintegrated and that was why I joined.

Remember this -

I prefer a "normal" game with VPs and a lot of writing/AARs...
If people don't want to write they don't need to join the game. There are enough others...

:)

So far its 4-2 against continuing.
Caelum
Marignon (PMed me)
Rlyeh
Man

Any others have an opinion? If the remaining players strongly want to continue, maybe we can find some more subs...
