World in Crisis - Started

[hunt11]

Quitti, Yes I realize that, I had planned to go straight for blood after getting the mandatory dousing rods, but then the war with Formia started. I had to focus all my research to more pressing needs so that I could win the fight. Also since I was using a lot of mages to counteract his sacreds, I had even less mages researching. Thanks for telling me about the wishes, it makes my life a lot easier, also to be honest my blood economy only real use for me was to get LOC's, because while I can see the use of having a massive blood economy, it was never my plan.

Hey, this is hurting me quite a bit as well and I've done nothing to you. While what you're doing is allowable as far as the design of the game goes I'd say it is somewhat akin to knocking over a chessboard after losing a game in terms of sportsmanship.

I'm not saying that I don't understand your reasoning for doing so, a last hurrah before going down is always fun to have. But by launching successive earthquakes you're screwing over everyone, not just the people who beat you. You're not even hurting them that much. Executor is right, you're barely scratching R'lyeh with the earthquakes, and while the loss of bloodslaves might annoy Sauro it's crippling me way more than anyone else.

Anyhow, if you're going to keep this up until R'lyeh finally puts you out of your misery I might as well quit and concentrate on other games because quite frankly you've just pissed all over my chances for your little blaze of glory.

Surely even Agartha wishes this madness to stop, and will join in the elimination of the insane god Kevätkukkanen of Tien Chi before the world is reduced to a smoldering wasteland. Fly your iron dragons down to The Den, so you may capture a TC castle the next month!

Quiti, I see you are a very bad loser and that will get you nowhere. With this attitude you will never win a single game. People will begin to hate you for the way you play and will want to take you out as soon as possible. I am very certain that you just made some enemies in this game, nothing else.

I couldn't agree with this statement more, bravo.

I'm a bit interested now, would you go for this solution in a megagame???

Augh, the mirror! The mirror! It burns!

If it suited my purposes and was not against the rules, the answer is Yes, I would.

I personally have no issues with the use of Armageddon as it can be a very powerful weapon if used correctly and prepared for properly. However, in this case it appears to be nothing but an act of desperation and/or spite, which while perfectly in line with the rules is something I find somewhat distasteful and I've said as much.

But I'm not going to declare Quitti an automatic enemy because of this or make any other comments as to his character or abilities as a player. Though I will be watching him closely if/when we wind up in another game together as this situation is one I would certainly like to avoid.

Sorry Fakeymcfake and Executor, I have to say that I see it totally differently.

I suppose it depends on whether you are playing this game to win, like it's chess or some other pure intellectual challenge; or whether you create some kind of fantasy in your head about the situation (RP). Of course, when you play from a RP perspective, you are still trying to win in that case too: you want your pretender to ascend and become the new one true god.

The difference shows up when your pretender has lost hope of ascending. What do you do in that case? Just go AI? That's one option, and there's nothing wrong with choosing it. Or you can try to exact revenge on the nations who caused your demise, using any means available. Or you can become the vassal of some other nation -- this is the only choice I really don't like (but when I think back when I first started playing, there didn't seem to be anything wrong doing that ... but now: ewww!). Or if you've had an enjoyable war but come out on the short side, you can even surrender to the victor, and maybe he will even discover a cache of loot in your treasure chest. Or your vengeful followers can distribute the last unused gems and items to the enemies of your enemy, so retribution will be paid upon the wicked. I think I've done all these at one time or another.

And you don't know for sure what TC has planned either. He may have saved up enough gold from when he had Nature's Bounty up that he thinks he still may have a miniscule chance for his god to ascend, if he totally destroys the income of the others in the world. (I don't think that's the case here ... but I'm not Quitti.)

There's nothing in any of Quitti's posts that I read, that indicate he's Armageddoning the world just out of spite. I'd be happy to play with him again.

If you want to play in a game without Armageddons, then please make sure that's part of the conditions at the time you join. Otherwise, find a way to work around it. That's part of the fun playing against people!

I think it's possible this post will irritate you and make you want to attack R'lyeh. That's okay! (The attacking R'lyeh part, I mean. I'm not intentionally trying to anger you, I just see that as a possible outcome.) As you may have guessed, I play the game from an RP angle. So I do want my god to ascend, by any means necessary. But I do enjoy the challenge that comes from finding solutions to problems thrown at me. And even if you are not RP'ing, I will RP for you, and invent some reason (in my head) why Sauromatia decided to attack R'lyeh. I'm not saying you have to attack me though! Please kill TC's wisher first, at least.

I feel like I'm in some sort of Dominions addicts meeting.....

Hi, I'm Jim Morrison, and I play Dominions.

"Hi, Jim!"

O.o

There's an irony to Armageddon, really, and that is if you look very closely at the game, you can almost see who will win because of it. Anyway, I hope you wanted R'lyeh to win, because it sure looks inevitable at this point.

I am in the camp who kind of doesn't care about the ultimate outcome anymore, I would just like the game to end.
