Sorry for the delay folks, I've got family in from out of town and I've had little/no time for play the current turn.

Time to specify the VC - from Quitti's initial post:

"Hold 1/3 caps (7 caps for 16+3) for 3 consecutive turns"

I've never been exactly clear on what exactly defines 'holding a cap' in these self regulated VC games. I presume it at least means being in control of (and not just besieging) the capitol's fortress, if there is one. Or does just controlling the province fulfill the VC (no need to actually storm the fortress - although that just seems too easy)?

If control of the capitol's fortress is necessary, is it also necessary to control the province as well? Or is holding the fort alone enough to count as control?

In games with established VP conditions (meaning VP locations built into the map), I'm pretty sure just controlling the cap fortress is enough to claim the VP.

Just wondering, cause, well, it's gettin' about that time...

Hey Guys, I've postponed the next host for about a week at LoloMo's request so he can celebrate his honnymoon.

TwoBits, re your VP question, holding the fort alone is enough to count as control.

More specifically, holding the fort is *necessary* and *sufficient* to control the capital. The province itself doesn't matter for purposes of winning.

Squirrelloid, you are indeed correct, my answer was imprecise. Thanks for the correction.

Fraid I have to sub out for at most 2-3 weeks, at least until I get settled into the new house or get over my illness, whichever comes first.

Hope you feel better soon BT. R'lyeh's big enough to play spoiler (at least). Added 24 hours to timer to see if a sub can be found. After that, what do you folks say, continue?

Only three people did turns, after having had more than a week. Is this game still going?

LoloMo · #9 October 23rd, 2011, 12:01 AM

I'm still in! Sorry for the stale, was supposed to get back in time to finish and send in the turn last night, but got delayed.

Just finished moving all the boxes/furniture to the new place, still need to unpack but I can get my turns in.
