Nah, TC won't get anything from me. All that I'm saying that he was the only one willing to accept the help of Atlantis. From the beginning ATlantis had no chance to do anything big, so I wanted to ally with someone. Only TC was really interested with that, and he was one of the mid-pack nations back then, way behind Sauro, Ulm or Fomoria.

Ulm made good alliances, hard to blame him. I can blame some others for not taking care of potential threats. You included. At least it looks like that from my position. What were you hoping for? I was willing to give all my SCs at your disposal, so Ulm can be stopped.

IMO when you've got no chance of winning, pissing off your neighbors so you can die gloriously on the field of battle is much more fun than helping someone else win.

Yes, I was a threat, still am. And I expected some wars would come my way, someone would realize that I was one of the leading nations the whole game and organize something against me, never happened.

The thing I hate about this game is that everybody is just content to live peacefully in their little corner, the result is you will stay a mid power nation, while the few nations who fight will get bigger logicaly. Shiny is AI, TC doesn't HAVE to take all for himself, same applied for Neif but nah.

A lot of player waited too long to start some wars, most people like the odds on their side as in a gangbang, that might be one of the reasons.

For gods sake even the AI's will survive till the end of this game.
Nehekhara was turned AI at about turn 15 right? THEY ARE STILL ALIVE! WTF?

Yes, I know you were willing to give me items and SC usage against Ulm but I still like my fights 1vs1 as much as possible. Only time I agree to outnumber my opponent is when I consider myself much weaker or am backed against the wall.
However there was still the matter of the pact with Ulm which prevented me from attacking anyway.

So far the possible winners IMO are Revolution, Jazzepi or me and I'm not betting on myself since I'm fighting two players that have a tendency to fight till the very end while the others are much more lucky. And I for one think that my position is well deserved and I played this game were honorably and fairly. Even told Calahan I'd attack him even doe we had no agreements.

Didn't you know it's Fomoria's top secret plan to keep TC in the lead, so TC gets to be the victim of a gankfest instead of Fomoria?

Anyway, I think it's way too early to be calling the game for anyone at this stage. Looks to me like there are 5 or six nations that are cursed with being capable of winning this game.

Victory conditions were 200 provs held for 3 turns, eh? I don't see anyone with more than 79 provs.

I'm still having fun with it, actually. And I have not yet reached my stated goal of being the last person actually playing.

Executor · #6 July 22nd, 2009, 07:43 PM

Actually I think it's 50 victory points.

chrispedersen · #7 July 22nd, 2009, 07:51 PM

The opening post says 200 territories 3 turns....
is that wrong?

vfb · #8 July 22nd, 2009, 08:10 PM

Looks like that was just a suggestion in the OP, it says 50VP here:

Not sure if you have to hold them for 3 turns or not, you can scroll up from the link to see the discussion.

Lingchih · #9 July 22nd, 2009, 08:15 PM

You know, I had 50 VP in my head, which is why I have been concentrating on VP provs, but I couldn't find where it said that. If so, then, we are even farther away from the victory condition.

I am 1/10 of the way there. A few others are closer.

chrispedersen · #10 July 22nd, 2009, 08:26 PM

Oh dear god.

our game leader has 10vp.
