Yeah, as much as I enjoyed the game at the start I have to admit my enthusiasm is lagging too after all the crap that's going on. We're down to 8 active players on a 466 province map and it's the kind of game that's going to be hell finding subs for. Let's take this thing off life support and let it fade gently away into the night... *sniff* Poor EA Chronicles, you were too beautiful for this world.

Kudos to everyone who participated, and especially those who wrote on the wiki

Edit: And to Agarthan Raider, sorry to make you come in for the last two turns of the game. Thanks again for the sub.

Well, majority opinion seems to be that the game is dead (plus only Tifone and Baalz have turned in their turns at this point) so I suppose it's tie to end this game. It was fun while it lasted

So, with the game ending this early, is there a winner?

You, as a majority of myself determines (it seems nobody else wantes to vote).
And yes, it was a fun initially. Did anybody else noticed any mistakes we should avoid?
Sometimes at autumn I would like to think about something similar... though probably a game by like-minded people without writing requirement could generate no less texts (as it would run faster).

I thought Maverni started out interestingly and I really liked Baalz's concept but for pure quality and consistancy it's all yours Darkwind

As for mistakes made, I -really- shouldn't have made all those turn postponements. The slow pace was what just devestated interest in the end. Also we didn't quite end up with enough players for our map after all the initial dropouts. Some people had interesting clusters, Maverni for instance was in between Helheim/Pangaea/Abyssia and somewhat close to Agartha and, according to Darkwind's stories ^^, Atlantis. Agartha's capital was only a few provinces away from Oceania's and I bordered with Helheim really early on. Sauromantia on the other hand hadn't seen a single neighbour by the end of the game.

no worries.

sorry i wasn't able to get anything written on this. i was just sort of juggling everything in my head, trying to figure out what angle i wanted to take, it was kind of hard coming in cold like that.

i would love to do another one of these from the beginning, if the kinks can get worked out.
