MP: Land Rand - Jotunheim Wins!

[Lingchih]

There was already a draw in the last Rand game. You guys should fight it out, or Rand will become a joke.

We are not talking about a draw here.

There will definately be a winner, indeed I think I am 100% certain which nation it will be and its only a question of time. But because of the way Dominions late game works, it will take till turn 80 - 100+ for that nation to get the VPs to make it official. Thats 40 - 80 hrs of doing his turns for that nation to play it out and 100's+ hrs for all the other nations to play there turns. All that time for the same result if it was called now.

Lets have a secret, honest vote by pm'ing Pasha. Obviously, if a nation who is in 2nd, 3rd or 4th place has perhaps a, 'masterplan' like been saving all there astral gems to cast arcane nexus and then kick everyones butts, then continue. On the other hand if the vote went pretty much the way of one nation call it. We have a neutral host with Pasha, seems a bit stupid not to take advantage of it to save ourselves considerable amounts of time.

Sure, you are right, but I really don't think he can get enough VPs before turn 100-120. It requires attacking other tough players with their VPs being almost unconquerable. I'm against declaring winner now just like that, I don't think it's deserved.

[PashaDawg]

I am happy with whatever, of course.

[Zeldor]

Of course if someone wants to surrender to me, I won't object.

[PashaDawg]

Hello:

Turn 63 is out.

Deadline is Tuesday at 9:00 p.m. Boston time.

Thanks.

Pasha

Is it safe to ask defeated players about their strategies in the thread?

I'm ok with this though it would be difficult w/o disclosing information that should be kept discrete given the nature of this game. I guess it's probably better to wait for the end and not take chances.

I would like to make one comment though as I think it's harmless. I took misfortune 2 in a few games in a row under CBM. In all I got such crappy luck with lot's of bad events, so much so as to seriously hurt my nations. This game was no exception.
When the game's over I'd be happy to share my turns. The frequency of bad events should be interesting to observe
So, lesson learned -I ain't taking more than misfortune 1 with CBM anymore!

Who was Machaka?
