I hope you remember, and are willing to share, these strategies when doing so can no longer influence the outcome of the game (or when we stumble upon them).

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

I was not attempting to force him to get a sub, I was merely attempting to see if you guys were going to look for a sub as atul stated he wanted one. Remember I have no vested interest in this game, as I am not playing. It does not hurt me for the game to be on pause for a week :P In fact that may even simplify things for the noob team and lessen my admin duties. In any case, the path will be taken will be the one that seems to be in the best interests of the game. If atul can find a sub that he feels is capable of playing a few turns for him, the game will probably continue. If not then the game will pause, as it is quite obvious that atul is a very important player for your team.

If the noob team was communicating as much right now, as the vet team was on turn 6. I have a feeling in that case you'd know all the strategies I was imagining you'd be using. ;)


Honestly just ask me on IRC sometime after the game is over and if I can remember I'll tell you. I've made a decent number of mistakes myself and I'm much more likely to remember those in a month than anything related to anyone else.

I'm fine with us finding a sub or game on hold. I personally have said I would like to continue. Fact is Atul and I and our little empires are still in great shape and namad has basically been drawing out a losing battle as long as he can and the writing was on the wall for him several turns ago, so he's probably more down on the final outcome than the two of us down south.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

what i'm trying to say is... in a game that is basically like 2on10

the team of 2 can't afford to have subs, the team of 10 can....


i mean unless we could get like QM to sub or something... but i just figure he won't do it unless he owes atul a favor

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

I say take a break while Atul deals with his summer school (ouch, sorry! ;) ) situation. He is a major component of the game at this point, and not easily replaced. Besides, plenty of Noobs are doing summer stuff, and it might be just as well for us to have extra time to sort things out.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

Hadrian_II is actually the vet's lined up alternate. Anyone of the vets living or dead :) may also serve as a sub for atul if needed or indeed anyone else who might be available.

While the vets will not be forced to use an alternate or a sub, it is highly recommended, especially if atul can find a sub he's comfortable with. A week's delay should be avoided if at all possible, but the noob team, would probably not die if it came to that.

The vet team should not consider forfeiting over this issue alone.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

I will sub for Atul if need be. I am familiar with Vanheim, and have played them several times. That said, I do not wish to sub for Van, since his plan is intricate and complicated, and I might not pick up on all the nuances of it.

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

a break is fine. I'm going to be gone for 4 days mildly overlapping the end of that, but might actually be able to use a computer sometime during it. Regardless, if i submit the last turn just as i'm leaving, by the time he takes his turn and the new one gets sent i might actually be back to my computer...

(Sorry, its been a busier summer than originally planned)

Re: Noobs vs. Vets III: Revolution, MA, CBM. Let's get it on!
 

I'm sure we can cover most noob substitutions as they arise. But yes, clearly the noob team can handle such a break if absolutely neccessary.

Ling is quite good with Vanheim, I can attest to that. :)
