Well Klatu checked if he could. He didnt turn Tien Chi into computer controlled yet but will do so tomorrow if we do not hear from drool.

Hmm.... Then why did Tien Chi move immediately after hosting?

Klatu went into Tien Chi to check if he could turn him into AI and Klatu can. We are probably like 99% chance going to have to turn Tien Chi into AI but Klatu is going to give Drool some more time to respond.

Perhaps this was as a result of Klatu opening it up?

I am glad we might have an AI rather than a forced host - both are distorting but AI is probably more fair to those not nearby - it will lose but willl fight.

Oh and since the game is 24 hour host people are entitled to take 24hrs. Of course staling canels this right.

It would be nice to play a game with a blitz phase - several turns on one day every so often but it proved hard to arrange with our other newb game. I guess it would be easier to manage if you start one up with that as a criteria then everyone knows in advance & commits to it. eg 168 hour quick host except on thursdays 2100 until 0000 GMT when its 20 minute quick host.
This would be like a regular weekly FTF game rather than a PBEM!

A problem is time zones of course.

Hmm anyone intereseted in something like that?

Yeah that would be interesting but can everyone get together at same time to do the blitzing is the hard part.

And about drool...he was not only staling 4 days in a row...he was doing his turns in other games so wtf. If he didnt want to play this game anymore or something he should say something instead of playing his other games and staling on this one. He needs to respond soon before he gets turned into the AI.

I read your post again pickles and see what you meant. It would be interesting to start a game with a set blitz time so only people able to do it would join the game. It is an interesting idea that would be fun to do.

Check this one out for a neutral in my territory:
"The province contains about 100 hostile units. The army consists mainly of Heavy Infantries, Knights, and Eternal Knights."

Any guesses on just how darn long this place will remain independant? And this is with indy set at 6!!!
