map: sixlands
era: early
hosting: llamaserver, 24 hrs from start, then increase only at consensus. tolerance to RL.
mods: CBM 1.94
players: 6
diplomacy: not allowed
victory: consensus

this is intended to be a faster paced game, just like a quick game versus 5 smart AIs. if u tend to be the last person sending ur turns in or if u have the tendency to nearly always send ur turns in just before the deadline, please join other games instead.

Pretenders must be sent in WITHIN 24 HOURS of posting the application here to make the application valid. (to avoid dragging the start out for weeks).

If u join this game please keep fighting until u can, dont quit too early. on the other hand we wont spend too much time looking for subs, if u are in a hopeless situation, just turn the AI on.

We are waiting for competent players with some experience.

good luck and much fun to everyone!

Helheim please.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 1/6
 

I'd just like to point out that these potentially contradict each other, if someone suggests a winner and this is not accepted it will work the same as a call to gank that nation, which is a form of diplomacy. This isn't just theorycrafting, it happened in a recent game that Bullock hosted.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 1/6
 

Good point, but should easily be handled by having the votes for a winner be privately sent to the admin and the admin declares when a consensus has been reached. Will require defining what is meant by a consensus in advance (majority? unanimous? something else?).

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 1/6
 

That only works if the admin is not playing in the game and is considered impartial by all participants.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 1/6
 

Except the fact that through this voting the playing admin would have an ongoing flow of information about which nation is considered the most powerful by everyone else, effectively increasing his strategical knowledge.

Edit: Ninjad by Taeraswaerto...

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 1/6
 

Good point. I was assuming the admin wasn't a player, which I guess isn't that common. Might be a good feature to implement in a future patch of Dom - the ability for people to vote whether or not someone has won and to end the game when a certain requirement is met. Shouldn't be too hard to patch in I would think.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 1/6
 

one would think the esteemed Dr. EarWax would have taken all of the psychological issues and their impact on the game into accout.

:D

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 1/6
 

good point, thanks.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 2/6
 

on the other hand, i dont want the make the victory conditions more complicated than necessary, i have admined several no diplo games, and determinig the winner never was a serious problem. On this map in most cases there is a final, deciding war between the 2 strongest nations, and thats it. if someone prefers to avoid the uncertainity of the incompleteness/inconsistency of the rules, please join one of my other, more defined, diplo games instead.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 2/6
 

Ermor, please.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 2/6
 

I haven't MP experience, but I am well-prepared. If you accept me, C'tis.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 2/6
 

welcome all!

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 4/6
 

If it's helpful I can secretly collect votes when people are at the point that they would be willing to concede if it was unanimous.

I check forums a couple of times/day on my iPhone and can just leave a message if I receive a concession from all the players still in the game.

All I'd require in exchange is an auto forward email rule of llamaserver's turn file from one of the players so I can enjoy observing. ;)

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 4/6
 

Can I join as Sauromatia?

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 4/6
 

Pangaea if there is still room here

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 4/6
 

sure, why not? welcome on board!

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 4/6
 

greetings! we are ready to go then!

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, recruiting 4/6
 

thats great, thanks! send me a PM and i'll forward u my turns.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

Good Luck all! I'll be Trolling as usual!

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

I won't get home in time today, i need an extra 5 hours or so.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

no problem, hosting postponed by 6 hours.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

Thanks, turn is in.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

I don't want to play games anymore. So I go AI.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

On turn TWELVE?

Turn Zero or Turn 70 is a much better time to realize that you don't want to play games than turn 12.

Just my 2 cents as an impartial observer.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

please reconsider and stay, we would like to play with u. we started this together, im sure everyone here wants to finish it together too, with the company of you.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

i also wonder what happened in the first 12 turns that u didnt see coming. apparently u havent fought any battles with anyone yet.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

I feel bad when I play Dominions from first turns. Now I am at the point when I can't play anymore.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

whoops, for some reason (perhaps forgefulness) i didnt extend the current turn, contrary to my intentions. we gonna play this out the 5 of us then.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

postponed by 24 hrs.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

Guys! im terribly sorry, but i cant continue playing the game due to unexpected life events. im losing the girl i love, and i cant make myself do any turns nowadays. I guess its one of those situtations, when life takes precedence. I have PM-ed Psisoldier the admin password, and i have not turned my nation to AI, so u can find someone willing. Lanka is in an "everything is possible" position. Its been a great joy playing together with you, i hope we will have more fun together in the future, and i wish u all good luck!

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

No worries. Real life >> games. Hope everything turns out okay with your girl.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

Ok. Sorry to hear about that. Hope you get everything straightened out.. I know my wife get's pretty annoyed when I'm spending too much time with Dom3 or pretty much anything but her lol

I have postponed hosting by a couple days hopefully we will get things settled and find a replacement before then..

On a side note I see Ctis has gone AI which sucks. Would have been nice if he had stuck around a few more turns and found a sub.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

It occurs to me that earcaraxe's choice of title was ironic in this case.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

C'tis is being a pain as AI. I'd much rather try to predict what a player intends to do than guess with the AI. :P

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

I have a friend who's interested in taking Lanka's position. He's just waiting for the board admin to approve his account so he can post.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

Ok cool

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

Hello! I would like to play the Lanka option, please and thank you.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

I'm sorry for the stales guys, I'm back on track now and not too hurt by them. Won't happen again.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

The game should be postponed so Katzwinkel can get his turn in.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

I don't think he's actually gotten an invite yet. He said he hadn't been contacted by anyone.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

Yeah still have no sub for Lanka. I will try to extend the turns more until we can get a Sub But I don't want everyone to loose all interest in this game either.

If we can get a sub great If not I will turn it AI soon.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

Ok I'll give it a try, I've never played Lanka before so I'd need some time to familiarise myself with it. I can start submitting turns on Monday evening. So if you could extend the game until then that'd be great.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

Hmmm I'm not sure, but wasn't Katzwinkel supposed to play Lanka? if that is the case and he still wants to play, I dont mind babysitting Lanka for a bit and then handing it over to him (I'd rather do that). But if he quit on the position well.. then don't mind taking over permanently.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

I would recommend letting BBZ take Lanka. I'm brand-spanking new to this whole concept, and I'd rather just focus on one game to start (which I have elsewhere). Thanks much for the consideration, though.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

Guys since no one has contacted me yet, and Lanka keeps on stalling i think i'm gonna withdraw my application for this sub-position. Im really sorry but I still cant get my head around the game yet and jumping in a middle of a fight might not be the best re-start for me.
Sorry again and hope you find some sub for the position(if Katzwinkel is still up for it he could use it as a test subject for his current game so that when he gets to mid game he's not completely taken by surprise)
Hope you find a solution and have fun.

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

Doh.. I was checking for PM's not posts here. I'm setting Lanka to AI

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

Still need a volunteer to set Lanka to AI though

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

check your inbox:)

Re: Peace_and_Love, no diplo, gaming
 

Wow. I just checked the score tables on my phone for the new turn. Looks like Lanka has been very busy this turn. For a second I thought I was looking at the score table for a different game. Haha I can't wait to get home and see what has actually happened. Looks like things may get a Tad more interesting.
