Wahey, I actually had an effect on the game.

I would agree that 6 nations is too few and that there are now 3-4 nations too weak to really affect the outcome but too strong to actually be killed off (due to teams) but if 4 of us went ai it would really affect the enjoyment for the rest of the players.

FrozenFalcon:

You should at least wait until you get that 1 VP, AI would just send that army in almost random direction.

How many people are interested in continuing the game at all? I certainly do not want to let Pythium win. I could maybe agree on that 20-30 turns ago when I was extremely bored. But I couldn't find a sub so I continued.

I've been fighting since crazy old R'lyeh first attacked me I don't know how long ago, so I'm still entertained, no matter how pointless it may be for the one monkey on the one giant's shoulder to knock the other monkey off the other giant's shoulder, or how futile it may be for Abysians to try to wage war underwater. Plus interesting stuff is happening at the portal near me.

Re: Temporary Sub
 

I'd like to retire or go AI, probably wouldn't even have much impact if I did.

Re: Temporary Sub
 

Me too. Since DonC is my teammate I'd be in bad shape if he goes AI. I've thrown all I have against Pythium but its not enough. I've learned a lot and had fun but I'm ready to move on, especially since it looks like the game could continue for a while.

Re: Temporary Sub
 

I'd only go AI with my partner's and the rest of the game players blessing. I am not the type to abandon a game. But this one does look like it will take forever...

If nothing else, maybe Eriu and Marignon both go AI - the RPGers can characterize it as our alliance broke up and smarter leaders, at least in the case of Eriu, took over. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: Temporary Sub
 

To be honest I'm getting to the point where I don't see a quick end in sight either. How about electing a winner? Then we could move on to new games.

Re: Temporary Sub
 

We would need consensu though and it may be hard to acchieve.

Re: Temporary Sub
 

How about whoever holds the isle to get the 4th victory point wins or whoever can hold the isle for three consecutive turns? It would shorten the game considerably but still enable everybody to get a chance to take the isle.

Re: Temporary Sub
 

I will vote for whatever proposal ends the game the quickest! If we are electing a winner I would look at the graphs and make a determination based on that.

But the voice of Eriu is like that of Botsawana in the Epikbattel UN - not much influence.
