Where are we now in this game?
Could any observer tell us where we stand?

i think we're still squabbling about victory conditions

as there were 3 types of victory conditions

Neutral: QM clearly has the lead here. whether it is enough to hold up against a concerted alliance, I don't know.

Good: Ulm kept the alliance together - Pythium's success is due to CU, so i think Ulm has the edge here

Evil: there can only be one Burninator

Personally, I liked the idea of this game, where each side has different restrictions and conditions. I'd say that denying both death and blood to Good is too much though - death is too important. Perhaps a lesser restriction on death magic? Also, something needs to be done to get the neutrals involved and not able to just watch and turtle.

I'm glad you liked it, archaeolept! I enjoyed it, too. I'm not sure how much the Neutrals liked it because there never was any reason for them to do anything. That would definitely need to be changed for a second game.

In my opinion, QM is probably the most powerful, although I can't count Ryleh out due to how he handed me my a$$ in a previous game as Ryleh. Also Pangea is pretty stout as well.

I took the server down, but I can put it back up if we decide to continue.

Please put it up so somone can take a look at it and give us some closure.

If Foodstamp isn't available I nominate Micah as judge.

*Bump*

Is the holdup getting the master password from foodstamp?

CUnknown · #**456** October 9th, 2008, 07:36 PM

I asked Foodstamp to check out the game, it stayed up for a week, I don't think he ever checked it. The server is off right now...

Is someone else going to check it? They should contact me so I can put the server back up if so.

Foodstamp · #**457** October 10th, 2008, 11:39 PM

Oh it seemed like no one was interested in this game being checked. That is why I never did do it after I got the appropriate IP etc.

It may be better if someone else judge it anyway because I was going to call it a draw unless someone met the predefined victory conditions.

I have to agree that rather defeats the point of a judge.

I'm afraid any other judgment would just be opinion

After reviewing the various turn files it is evident that there is not a clear winner of the game. Shinuyama has a slight lead, but Rlyeh is close enough to be arguably tied in power, and Pangaea is in a strong third place that could tip the balance either way or potentially weasel his way into first if the other two began to duke it out in earnest, especially with help from the remaining nations.
