Re: TC feeling apathetic
 

I don't mind the slow pace, as long as we do about 2 turns per week.

Re: TC feeling apathetic
 

There is the standard compromise available also. If people wish to decide on a max setting then it can be added. It can be a week if people want. Or 72 hours. Or 48.

The game does seem to be going fine so I will leave it up to you but if you want to put a "this is reasonable but after that is ridiculous" setting then I will add it.

Re: TC feeling apathetic
 

I'd be good with 72 hours I think.. the lack of timer = lack of ambition. I think with a timer it would be a good kick to the pants again.

Anyone know what happened to kailasa?

Re: TC feeling apathetic
 

The Giants decided to punish them for sitting on the sidelines. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image.../firedevil.gif

Re: TC feeling apathetic
 

Is this game still going?

The monkeys struck back against the Giants but it's a lost cause type of thing.

Re: TC feeling apathetic
 

If its a dead game then let me know. I have very few slots for a mid or large games.

I try not to abuse the master password by peeking in on peoples player files. The only info I really have to go by is that stats file. The latest stats file tells me this....
T'ien Ch'i played this turn
Mictlan played this turn
C'tis played this turn
Niefelheim played this turn
Kailasa played this turn

so as far as I can "see" the game is still going on.

Re: TC feeling apathetic
 

Sorry, was feeling apathetic and then just had a kid. Plan on doing a turn either today or tomorrow depending on feeding schedules (eek!) and work.

Mictlan
 

I'll be unable to continue playing after Aug 15th. It's kind of late in the game to be getting a sub, but setting Mictlan AI would not be very neighborly for Mictlan's neighbors. Any ideas?

Re: Mictlan
 

lol, eek!

I'm up for whatever, we can either continue the snails pace with a very random mictlan, quit, get a sub who wants to play with high powered blood for awhile, or whatever.

Re: Mictlan
 

Hmmmmmm........

Re: Mictlan
 

I set the Giants to AI this turn. They had nothing to do anyway other than sit around and watch as their lands were slowly consumed by T'ien Ch'i. This game has moved much too slowly for that to be an interesting activity.

If the game were called now, it would have to be considered a tie between Mictlan and T'ien Ch'i.

Re: Mictlan
 

Yep I would just call it a tie between Mictlan and Tien Chi.

Mictlan and I actually had a pact to conquer the world that was set in motion several turns ago, so we were just doing a charade of hating each others guts hahaha http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

But without Vfb, that would not be as fun.

Re: Mictlan
 

Uh ... Mictlan was actually also secretly allied with TC.

The Mictlan nation was flip-flopping back and forth indecisively, trying to decide who to betray first. Hence our crushing of CTis's dominion (but backing off at the last minute out of guilt) and our backstabbing of TC with a surprise 999-slave AC (and the caster of which offing himself shortly thereafter in fit of despair).

So, we are not deserving of any recognition of victory or anything like that. TC should be declared the winner of Unlucky, in Mictlan's opinion, since TC and CTis would have soon figured out what Mictlan was up to, and ganged up on Mictlan together.

Sorry to have had to bow out before the action-packed finale!

Re: Mictlan
 

hahaha quite excellent move my friend =)

I quite suspected something like that, and I was prepared to give all my possessions to TC before I got dominion killed =)

Well, I happily concede to TC also. Congrats TC, well played!

Re: Mictlan
 

Yeah, same here. Sad not to be able to set up a round of cataclysmic battles.

I'm just out-dominion'd right now, life keeps interfering.

If we can close the game it would be one less sub I'd need to get. I'll even withdraw from the "I win" race http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Now, I wish there was a way to set everyone to AI afte a game is called and monitor progress. Used to be able to do that with a lot of the Risk computer games, set everyone to computer and just watch things unfold quickly.

Anyway, fun and fantastic game. Kailasa was my early ally but wasn't terribly influential. C'tis was always a worthy neighbor, communicative and kept his word. Mictlan was my mid-late game ally and was great (except the AC!, although I was learning to live through it... respawning liches helped out).

I do feel slightly bad about turning everyone against Foodstamp, but at the time Ry'leh scared me the most and had a castle 2 steps from my capital. Once the gauntlet was thrown it was a fun battle.

And the giants, what a HUGE pain in the butt to knock them out of the castle. For a rock, BoB was excessively tough.

Re: Mictlan
 

Too late to withdraw from the "I win" race. I believe that a consensus was already reached to call the game in your favor. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

No point in getting a sub.
