I agree this game is painfully slow and feels dead but despite that everyone usually gets their turns in. I am enjoying it and think it could end in a relatively short time assuming 4 VP is the victory condition (Omni left it at 5 in his original post but we discussed setting it at 4 in the thread). But if people are burnt out or we lose Calahan who provided a lot of the fun in the game, I don't mind calling it.

AZ players -

Shall we vote:

1. Call the game now
2. Look for a sub for Pan now
3. Put game on hold for a week to see if Pan shows up - then decide
4. Turn Pan AI and play on

Let me know - thanks. As for how long the game could go on, let me say that Pyth just forged the Gate Stone and is close to having 3 VPs (Ermor, Eriu and Pythium). Normally I wouldn't disclose such affairs of state but do so now in case anyone is worrying that this game will not end in their lifetime...

3 - If my vote counts.

I believe the decision mostly depends on Abysia, since without Pan he will be the only major power which is capable of stopping Pythium.

1. Mostly because I'm heading away for a month in a few weeks, which will be long before anything significant happens.

Ok, if Dragar wants to call it, and it doesn't look like Marignon is going to vote, I will vote in favor of calling it to. How shall we decide on a winner? I don't mind posting my last turn file and looking at anyone else who thinks they had a chance.

You're ahead, happy to call it yours

DonCorazon · #**257** October 24th, 2008, 11:17 AM

Ok, I'll wait a bit to see if Calahan or Janim would like to vote or opine. But barring any changes, we'll declare this one officially over in 24 hours.

Good. I've been a non factor for quite a while now, but Pangaea just never tried to finish me off. I haven't really had much fun in this game, I've just been playing because it sucks when someone goes AI. I'll be happy for this to be over.

Ok, game is over. Pythium wins, probably more a function of the map than anything else. Thanks for not going AI BDA - I think we had a good group of players but the hard research and sprawling map dragged this one out way too long. I have attached Pythium's last turn file in case anyone is curious.
