Viscious Circle 3

[Belac]

I had severely hesitated and decided not to make an offer because I am very inexperienced and probably wouldn't do much better than the AI, and I assumed someone else would take over.

Since that doesn't seem to be the case, I am interested in giving this a shot. I have CBM 1.6. Is it necessary that I have CBM 1.5? Also, there are gemgens in this game, right? Lastly, I might not get the chance to submit a turn until Sunday, although I could take a look at the position earlier.

Also, if I take over, would one of the players in this game be interested in taking over Atlantis in Bay12Games2?

Jumping into an endgame just to see what it is like can be worthwhile. So inexperience isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially as the AI is so awful at endgame.

You would need CBM 1.5. And there are gemgens in this game.

If you did come in as Sauromatia, a delay would certainly be in order, as you'd probably need a good couple days to consider the turn anyway, not to mention conduct diplomacy. Endgame takes longer than early game, and you'll have to interpret whatever it was Shard was doing before he mysteriously disappeared.

Alrighty, send me the turn file. I will PM grudgebringer with my email address.

Turn resent to Belac taking over sauro...Hosting postponed until Sunday to give him an oppourtunity to look it over.

Everybody let him know your status with him...don't backstab him, if your at war tell him...if your an ally, stay with it (for now).

[Belac]

Hello everyone. This will be quite an experience--Sauromatia is pretty powerful. I have some idea who I'm fighting here--if anyone is an ally, I would be grateful. Otherwise I'll just try to go down fighting, and figure out how to field my SCs.

Anyone fighting me, please let me know what you did to Sauromatia the last few turns.

Thanks for taking over the position. I sent you a PM with as much info as I could remember, though I didnt have the map in front of me.

I don't know if Sauro has scouts out everywhere. If not, it would be good if someone could summarize broadly who is where and like that. You could ask Grudgebringer, aka good old Switzerland.

[Belac]

I am sorry for not having gotten my turn in. I had PMed Grudgebringer asking for a further extension, and have just finished my turn. There was no way I could have done it before now. Is there anything that can be done? Can we roll back? I have turn 62 all ready and have not looked at turn 63.

[GrudgeBringer]

Guys...Belac Pm'd me this afternoon and I just got it. he said because of diplomacy issues he didn't get his turn done and it hosted.

He wants a roll back...I would like to help him out here, but at this stage of the game do we want to have people able to look at the turns and them roll it back?

On the other hand, he is taking Sauro over and deserves every courtesy..

I need some opinions here...

NO ONE SEND IN A TURN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

I have not looked at my turn and would not oppose a rollback. It would be nice for our sub to not have to take yet another stale.

Just letting Belac submit a turn after the rollback and force hosting would prevent anyone from benefitting if they have looked at their turn.
