It`s 10th aniversary, I can`t say my wife,I don`t go Egypt because I must play a game, she kill me. Sorry.

I disagree - I think its gone pretty smoothly for a newbie game.

If you look at the staling data noone has staled in the last 2 turns, and a total of 3 staled turns in the last 5 -> 3 out of 24x5= 120 player turns.

What it looks is Majuva (Niefelhelm) needs a sub which he may have trouble getting as I don't believe English is his first language, and PaGal wants to be replaced. His nation, Caelum, has yet to stale.

Agreed, so far the main factor is that it's a big game not a that it's a newbie one.

The only real sign of newbieness is that Majuva & PaGal don't seem to be trying to find subs for themselves. It helps a lot if people having to leave or take a break do that, not just because no one else has to, but because they can describe their situation, which makes taking over a lot more attractive.

It would be great if the two of you could at least start the search by making a post asking for subs much like Amonchakad did when he had to go.

If not, someone else will have to try.

Don't worry yourself. A game is not as important as a marriage ... I think.

Just see if you can find someone to stand in for you while you're away. It's a month out yet.

Okay, I shall see if we can find a replacement for Caelum. Niefelheim is hardly an emergency, it's a month out. That's the first time I've actually seen so much forewarning.

So, Caelum is I take it dropping without notice, so I'll delay the game 48 hrs while we look for a replacement.

LOL. This is the usual thing for any game. Human beings are what they are. And they have lives outside of Dominions, alas.

majuva68 · #**237** July 6th, 2009, 01:58 PM

I can play until 8 of August or find a sub,it's a month out.

keep the exaggerated LOL's to yourself. this is NOT normal. i have played other games you know. i have no problem with people having lives outside of dominions. having to leave for your wedding anniversary is completely fine. (and i really appreciate the fair warning)

i DO have a problem with people just not giving a crap and/or quitting because they lose a battle.... I myself quit 2 games a year ago suddenly due to real life problems but one was on the second turn and i was in a pretty good position in the other (im just saying it wasnt due to being a sore loser or just not caring) i have not missed a single turn since i restarted playing and if i do i will have a serious reason.

im not happy with the way this game is going and im still not going to quit.

edit:
btw i have no way of knowing when somebody is just being a sore loser or missing due to a real life 'problem' so im not pointing the finger at a single player here. its just that this has been pretty bad compared to my experience so i really think that some of it is due to that. if thats not the case i apologise

You can move along at any time if this is so horrible. The only thing that has been out of line thus far is Caelum dropping suddenly. That does often happen somewhere along the line in these games because things happen that are unforeseen, etc. So relax.

DakaSha · #**240** July 6th, 2009, 08:10 PM

it is pretty horrible. im not gonna quit though.

If something happens that destroys the game balance or similar i would see no more point though. (which hasnt happend yet)

setting a player to AI while that player is still in the game counts. it makes those provinces easy grabs for any surrounding players and destroys any diplomacy going on with that nation. and yes i would also be upset if i benefited from it. possibly more so.(in fact it prob would benefit me when it comes to caelum)

im just saying again i think the game should be stalled until we find a sub for the birds
