MP Game - Faerun Pirates

[Krootish]

I apologize for the stale, I wasn't able to connect to the server yesterday but thought it wouldn't matter as I would just play my turn today before the hosting, (what with caelium making a 48hr host every time anyway). However I got home several hours later then I anticipated, (and the server hosted several hours before I thought it would at ten). So sorry to tick you off you Thufir.

Actually, I'm the one who should be apologizing, I spoke too soon. I see now from the turn results that you are now out of the game - certainly one stale before being knocked out is no big deal. What I was expecting is a behavior I've seen a large number of times, where about 5-10 turns before the knockout blow comes, a player gets depressed and disappears, without telling anyone.

While I didn't pay much attention to Pythium's fate (being at the far corner of the world, where I was certainly having enough problems in my little corner), I would have to guess that in fact you fought it out to the end, minus only a single turn. For this you should be congratulated. My apologies for my premature declaration.

Yeh - it's nice to see a player sticking it out to the very end. I salute you, and only wish I had been the one to get your capital.

I am away from thursday to monday. I know someone who can substitute, but I would rather he only had to take just one turn, so could we change to 4 day QH or something?

Cheers,

Wintermute

PS I have PM'ed this to Catquiet

I'd be happy with 4 day QH through to the next weekend - with Thanksgiving and other things, I'll be very busy until the 27th.

It looks like Tien Chi went AI. Not surprising I guess since he was being massacred by three opponents.

Looking at the graphs "massacre" seems a little strong.

Four or so turns ago he sent me a message, saying that if I didn't join him and two others in an already (3 on 1) ongoing war with someone, me and him would be at war. He then said that I would sorely loose, if I attacked him instead of joining this would-be 4 on 1 battle. I proceeded to attack him, since I thought it was silly to try to bully people like that, and no I didn't sorely loose. It was a minor offensive, but I think that the aforementioned "someone" attacked him in several places. He then sent some weird message about a grudge he now has with another (different) player, and if we just leave him alone along with a nice set of provinces, he will dedicate all his resources to this new foe. A turn later, when (I guess) people didn't back down, he goes AI. He has at least one nice SC + his pretender + a lot of units (the army graph shows only a little dip) + the two allies from his 3 on 1 war.

I haven't played alot of MP with players outside of my RL friends. And I find it surprising that it is not surprising, that people just go AI when the sleightest problems show up, and without any explanation or just a little post on the forum.

I'm playing Abysia and their starting position is horrible (on this old-Version Faerûn), and I'm totally behind on most of the graphs, and when I finally attack someone - after doing some diplomacy to get the upper hand in spite of my own lackings - they just go AI.

I am highly surprised.
