Default Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.

Wow a double host! Well the free spirited casual admin and player in me says lets just roll on. Onward, upward! One can always use more gold, random events and AI actions aside renders a stale for everyone pretty much neutral. But I'm fine with DrP's sage and wisened suggestion as well, that is of a single turn rollback as distasteful as it is to me.

Still, I can't shake this nagging feeling that though that at least some of our other players (not naming anyone) may be angry. Stewing and brewing. Though the post has not yet come, I can already hear it now. All of their detailed and micromanaged plans and commands not having been executed. Battles lost. Opportunities missed. Oh the heartache.

But no my friends, I give you my word, the universe shall not end because of a stale or because we lose a battle or a game or were for some reason or other that really uncontrollable due to circumstance of time and space, unable to do everything we wanted in a particular turn.

I will hear the counsel of the players in the next few posts in a sort of mini poll, pending no objections I say we just keep going.

Note: We are scheduled to move to a 64 hour host at turn 40 (based on consensus poll). If any player or team feels at this juncture that 56 hours is not sufficient time and would like to move that regularly scheduled vote up, that is fine with me. I'd rather people do this and we get it over with than have people worrying about time or having delay requests every turn. Not that it is a problem mind you. We just need to find a good balance.
