Preponderance 2 [epic team game returns!] - Page 24

You know, i was visiting my niece and nephew this past weekend, whose schedule is much more important than dom3 turn schedules. My partner asked for an extension (which was not granted) which would have made things rather more convenient. I'm sorry real life interferes with keeping a game hosting on time, but I'm slightly annoyed by the failure to grant the extension.

seems like my experiment on the no extension policy wasn't much of a success, there still were plenty of stales these last few turns

right now it seems like both Calahan(lost a close family member) and Raiel(fishing accident) are away, so this is a good time to put this game on hold and let you guys pick yourselves up, restore your energies and get back fresh in a week or so. this is your chance, for all of you complaining about "being burned out", "losing interest", etc. focus on your other games and other things, and when this game will resume I hope all of you will return with fresh energies, and hopefully stop the massive staling.

It looks like it's time to reveal identity of Pythium and Shinuyama, they are both dead from what I see.

Well I'm afraid me and Trumanator are the ones with the dubious honor of being the first team out. Awesome nation picks, but not so awesome early game. oh well. it was fun

Suggest we just conceed to jotun/aby now. Arco/ctis just removed any hope of anyone actually catching them through sheer stupidity on their part. I have no interest in playing another 10-20 turns waiting for jotun/aby to officially claim victory at this point, since i don't see the point in it.

well, I've been hearing a lot of talks about ending the game. until now it was mainly calls for a draw, but with this new turn of events I think that the Jotun/Aby team should be declared winners. seems like they've had the upper hand throughout the majority of the game, and now they can ride to victory unopposed.

now, before I end this game and declare them winners, I'll give all of you to post your objections to this move. will give all of you 48 hours from now to post all your objections, and will postpone the game for 48 hours in the meantime.

so, if anybody has any objections post them now, otherwise the game will end in 48 hours, giving the Jotun/Aby team the win.

Excellent suggestion. And congratulations to them. I assume they have a blood income in the hundreds per turn now. The two Arco/C'Tis teams can't really compete in that direction (or any other now). Not that I can see any sign of either of them attempting to fight Aby/Jot. Not that I blame them for that

I am not really sure why this game became such a runaway for them. Apart from the obvious blood synergy it is not obviously the best team. Clever picks though as neither are that strong but they complement each other well.

well, seems like the #2 team is not who I thought they were, IH didn't update me on this 90th minute lineup change. they wish to continue so it seems like the only sensible course of action is to keep on going, at least for a few more turns.

hopefully those of you who have given up on this game already will not chain stale but rather play it out, as the game is still not entirely over it seems.

I'll keep the extension though, to not mess the timing up for you guys, and to give everyone enough time to get back into the game and fight it out for at least a few more turns.

Well, I know the reasons for everything that's happening, but let's wait with it till the game is over.

Everyone should just try as hard as possible to do their job and we will be fine.

Squirrelloid · #10 November 22nd, 2010, 02:37 AM

Could the #2 team declare themselves or something? Because i submit it is pointless to continue, and if the #2 team had any sense they'd realize that.

Possibly more in line with the 'secrecy' requirements, i will declare myself to one of them if they'll declare themself to me (via PM), and we can talk about why this game is now over. Maybe I can convince them to see reason.

I don't see the four hours or so the next turn is going to take me to script as being a worthwhile use of my time when I know its ultimately irrelevant. And since the winner is obvious...
