Default Re: The Grudge-Match of Doom - (trashtalk/game progress)

Looks like we may need to come to a decision on the status of this game, guys. Mark is (1) too busy to play, (2) engrossed with another game--as he mentioned (3) sorry he got into a game with me as a partner or (4) all of the above.

He doesn't answer my emails so I'm not sure what's up.

I feel, hmmmm, like I shouldn't recommend an outcome for the game as it relates to the Ratings. Actually, it's a hard one to call on winning (in my opinion). Though we lead in points, I know you guys have some Talisman ships built and being built (plus my breathers). I hate to give away our ship count as Mark might decide to continue. I also don't want to suggest a well-fought and played game to the current position on your part should be forgotten and the Ratings forgotten.

What do you guys suggest?

.... contemplating adding Mark to the quitters list.

Lets just call the game void unless some worthy replacement you are comfortable playing with comes along. To early in the game to worry about the rankings.

Some Talisman ships? That's the understatement of the year. Ah, it isn't the trashtalk section of the thread here.

I would say to drop Mark a PM asking him about what he intends to do with this game. If he decides to stop playing here, a replacement would probably be best, or perhaps you could surrender his Empire to you Slynky. While it will allow you a better coordination, you will lose a part of your income as the partnership treaties will be void. That, and other disavantages as well. Or perhaps even something along the lines of "you play both Empires", if no replacement can be found.

As I mentioned, I sent him 2 emails. I got read receipts and that was it.

As to me playing his empire (or joining them), he's a better player than me so there would also be a weakness there (not to mention the weird aspect of Ratings). If I had my wish for a replacement, it would be the "wild" Alneyan (who fits Mark's playing style the best) but, well, that would be even more weird .

Default The Grudge-Match of Doom - (trashtalk/game pro

Joachim/Geo:

Please remove Mark the Merciful from the game in such a way that a substitute player will be able to continue in/with Mark's empire.

Thanks!

LOL, I see you asked after approving him.

Yes, he's the one. J/K. Thanks again!

Well, the new guy is in town (so to speak). And right off the starting blocks, not afraid of conflict.

Back to "Predator vs Alien"! No holds barred!
