I'm pretty sure the latter is fastest, but most prefer the former method

Well I do believe it is a complex equation, where it can often be shown (it's quantum, don'tcha know) that -

Living + Learning > Learning + Dying > Dying + Learning > Learning + Living


As you may guess, faster learning is represented by a "greater" result. The irony being, that most people would consider "Learning + Living" to be preferred result, as the Learning precedes -and- precludes the brush with death, however it is also the hardest to quantify as death is avoided by such a large margin that it would seem the subject was never in jeopardy to begin with.

That's extremely quantum, I dare say!


PS. I hazard a guess that you read Pratchett, JimMorrison?

Thanks, Jim. I took a gamble and won the battle but probably lost the war losing Abyssia proper. But it was a pretty good win for us. If you hadn't hit Abyssia itself at the same time I might have been able to make a go of it.

Don't feel too bad about losing to you. The country is a bit screwed up with some bad scales and research. Not sure why Abyssia was just researched Thau the entire time.

Sorry guys, real life crunch came and I have to withdraw from all games I am in. If a replacement cannot be found, please set me to AI. Thanks and sorry for the trouble I caused.

Oh... and I was waiting for you to give me the final death blow

R'Lyeh turned to AI too it seems... what's happening?

[AreaOfEffect]

Ry'leh turning AI was no surprise to me. Jazzepi started to seem apathetic after I eliminated a host of his mages. After that he started to just throw shamblers at me. When I responded by cranking out mounted sacreds he began to stop submitting turns all together. The Ry'leh thing is almost a non-issue. I now have no desire to spend the resources required to enter the sea and I can easily drive back the AI, making them simply an annoyance. My focus is on Ashdod.

I must admit that the game has lost a lot of momentum and drive. Though I know for a fact that it will most likely be decided in the next 10 turns or so (with me as the victor of course. ), so please hang in there. My belief is that we have entered the late game. If people aren't ready for late game tactics then you should hurry up, because this game is about to get ugly.

As for me, I'm looking for someone to take over as administrator of this game. I'm in no way quiting, but, if you couldn't tell, my ability to devote a lot of time to these games has become limited. I'm in 3 games and administering 2 of them. I just want to lighten my load without dropping out. In fact, I really am in this game to win, particularly after this last turn.

Is there a replacement for Bandar Log yet, AoE? Maybe you should delay the turn if there's not...

[AreaOfEffect]

I got a message from a player named trek. It seems he will take on the duties of ruling Bandar Log. I have, upon his request, extended the turn another 24 hours. Please submit your turns by then.

Though sooner then that would be ideal.
