MP Game - Newbie Game (by JDScherrey)

The descision to go AI was complicated.
1. I thought you guys were going to be at it all day Fri & Sat and I knew I had many things to do Fri & Sat. I thought it wouldn't tie you down.
2. From everything I read and heard, I was kinda discounted anyway and would have been nothing more than a spoiler. (not much fun in that).
3. You guys were looking for a knock down fight, so I figured i'd make it interesting for you. The AI would be "unpredictable" as compared to me and even maybe play better than I.

Only bad thing is I now can't see what happens. OH Well. May the best Nation win. Klatu

Thanks for the thought but you could have asked

"2. From everything I read and heard, I was kinda discounted anyway and would have been nothing more than a spoiler. (not much fun in that)."

Sorry about that - I discounted Aku a bit too &
now look at him. My efforts to talk Ermor into attacking you constantly failed so you mught have been able to rebuild/catch up.

"3. You guys were looking for a knock down fight, so I figured i'd make it interesting for you. The AI would be "unpredictable" as compared to me and even maybe play better than I."

Hmm it will attack us but will overextend & get beaten. If I wanted to play AIs I would play SP.

However if you are not having fun it is fair enough to quit. I attacked you this turn anyway to try to keep you honest & crossed with the AIs army coming in the other direction.

It would have been nice to have told us in advance though - we maybe could have got a sub (hmm) or tried to talk you out of it. But 'tis done now.

Despite my irritation with the position it is with the game (Dominion2 not newb1) rather than with you. So GL & hope you have not been put off cf Drool!

"Pickles and Boron if the two of you are teaming up it is fine by me, I will take on the both of you. "

That is only because we do no think we can beat you together - let alone individually!

"The AI will distract the two of you a bit as well since he only borders you two. "

Grr ai grrr

i respect your decision klatu but you had made a nice catchup i think

and it would have been a nice playfield for you too to try out scs etc.

now aku dispelled my well of misery grrrrrrrrrrrr. and no way to stop his vampire hordes soon grmml

as pickles said we think even we 2 can't beat you

Hey All,

Wow. I never expected so much response to my turning AI!

I do apologize for not informing you in advance (a crazy two days for me and i was/am pulled in 32 directions). I also had no idea the AI was a problem. I really thought it would spice the game up for you all. Consider it a newbie's mistake.

It never occurrred to me about getting a sub.

I am not put out at all.

Again, apologies

"I do apologize for not informing you in advance"

accepted

" Consider it a newbie's mistake."

NP

"It never occurrred to me about getting a sub."

That was not really a serious suggestion.

"I am not put out at all."

Good.

Actually it was a failure to recognise the game position. Someone should have tried to bring you into their alliance.
I had no idea that domninion push was so strong or that end game spells were so powerful & unpleasant.

I am now uncomfortable with my position as I cannot conceivably win so I am kingmaking between the other two which is unfortunate.
I am also attaking Aku atm as I can hurt him while Boron for all his protestations of earmoe weakness seems very hard to hurt.

Here is the reason for Norfleet's leaving.

Enough said.

I haven't time to put the new game up until later this evening, it will probably be 3-4 hours from now.

I'll post the server info then.

Norfleet · #9 August 9th, 2004, 07:01 PM

I am leaving Dominions II indefinitely for reasons I will not reiterate. Since I am hosting your game, I complete this task, but I will not be present to receive any complaints or problems regarding people disappearing, or the server going down. Should the server go down, I will probably not notice, and will not be around to have this brought to my attention. In such a case, you will probably have to rule upon a winner based on who survived. If somebody wishes to take over hosting, he should inform me within a day or two, and I will tar.gz all the files and make them available for downloading.

Otherwise, I am gone. Best of luck to you all.

Sheap · #10 August 9th, 2004, 07:14 PM

I'll take over the hosting for this and other games Norfleet was running if no one who is already involved with the game is able/willing to handle it.
