Thanks Panther!!!!

I made the assumption that if I can't get in, nobody could get in!!! I might as well go AI now...Unless its worth salvaging, but highly doubtful since I haven't been in for several days

No need to go AI, you only missed 1 turn. These turns are moving so slow that you would had to have missed more than several days to stale more than that one turn. Wait and see how the upcoming seige of your capitol turns out before going AI.

Oh, thats not even funny.

But too late, I already switched it to AI. I got in Last night (thanks to everyone's advice) and it was a sad state of affairs for me.

And to think, I chose this war!!!

Oh oh, I'm being abused by Cainehill.

Seriously, I could not get in for several days, and when I did (thanks to the advice here), there was nothing left of me. I did not go AI until I reviewed the situation, believe me...

I will generally be in for the long haul, but I had few provinces left, few troops, dead God, blood economy in tatters (which was my first time doing a blood economy), capital under seige, etc..

But my apologies Cainehill, this is not an action I would normally take.

And thus, for one stale turn, you simply went AI, leaving me with _another_ front I'm being attacked on. You could have done a minimal turn or two while letting your ally know you were getting ready to go AI. There's a lot of things people generally do to minimize the shafting they're giving to their ally.

And no, you're not being abused by Cainehill. But you probably will be if I'm in another MP game with you. You know - one hand shafts the other and all that.

Well with a grand total of four MP games under my belt, that seems a bit strongly worded, but I'm fine with that.

Only 4 MP games? Perhaps it was a bit strong, but consider: One turn I have a stable border which I hadn't built up in, the next turn, without warning, my "ally" is invading my territories because of the retarded AI: the nation is being overrun by C'tis, yet decides to throw an army my way.

I'd strongly suggest that in future games you give some advance notice to anyone you have treaties or alliances with, since it really screws them when you go AI.

Cainehill,

Ok, I didn't consider the actions of the AI would result in you being attacked, although, yes, the AI is retarded and in retrospect it was probably not a good idea on my part to remove myself with the game without a longer notice.

I can do nothing more than apologize. I didn't realize the AI, being smacked around by C'tis, would respond in such a manner.

It's unfortunate that this all started due to a technial glitch, because I've been fairly faithful in getting my turns in across all my games.

Once again, my apologies.

Krool
