Newbie Game EA (Running)

He already staled on a critical turn. There is no way he would bother comming back to this game. Its not worth the effort. I don't think he even cares enough to bother with claiming second place. There are no prizes for winning, and the situation of the game up untill now isn't going to be contested because he staled and everyone ganged up on him.

So, are you argueing that he shouldn't consider himself 2nd or that he shouldn't leave? There no way to to win either of those arguements. He will believe what he wants and he isn't comming back.

I would like to see this game end and another one come up again. I would be interested to see if the outcome would be the same now that everyone isn't a noob anymore.

No FAJ, I don't believe he would start playing (i am neither attempting to convince him to play).
And he didn't stale the critical turns as those were turns he's position was taken and he's empire was crushed. He only staled when he saw that there was no hope for him left.

Instead of forcing him to "play" i'd like to see him withdraw those outrageous claims he's put up.

I am ready to finish this game if you others are too.

I am ok with the game going on or with declaring Whollaberg winner. No outrageous claims to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc...

Anything can still happen, I really believe that, with the wild magic and forces available at this stage of the game. On one hand it would be fun to try those out, but on the other hand Whollaberg is definitly in the commanding lead.

Shall we give it to him by acclamation? You have my vote for that or for continuing. Whatever the rest of you want.

If we did continue, it would have to be everyone vs. Whollaborg. I watched several of the huge battles in Anodyr with Tien Chi vs. Vanheim and I know I wouldn't have been able to win against either side.

So if we continue, lets all gang up on horsey-boy. Or if we don't continue, that's fine with me as well.

I could have increased the turn timer but was not watching this thread those days. Sorry about that

I feel like a bad host.

What should happen now?

As far as agreeing to an ending, IMO it is more common in games without victory conditions to have to agree to one, otherwise the game drags on indefinitely. At some point, there is simply no point in continuing to play. IMO, if the only nations with a realistic chance of winning agree on a pecking order, then that's good enough. BUT that is no rule, just my perception. What constitutes a "realistic chance of winning" is usually apparent but not possible to define.

Vanheim can't win. Its not allowed. I have been plotting against Vanheim ever since they picked on poor Ermor. The rest of you gang up on Vanheim, okay.

In any case, Please increase tthe turn timer to at least 48 hours. NOW please. NOW!!!!!!! For the love of GOD NOW PLEASE!
