Alright Grandpa Troll, there has been a formal request for a 10 turn peace treaty with Horned Frog and then all bets are off. How about an official response here and then we'll get this thing moving again (hopefully at a decent pace).

good by me

please folks lets try to keep up a halfway decent pace

when I get a turn every 4 weeks its hard to remember what agreements I do have

Ok

10 turns and I'll smite thee for sure

(JUST GRAMPS HUMOR)

This is the last time anybody posted anything about a turn . . . Have you played this turn and sent it on, horned frog? If so, WHO HAS THE TURN???

Since we essentially have a new cast of players for this game, I need to refresh everyone about the conditions under which I joined the game when Fraizer quit. He had been ganged up on and basically defeated, so he quit in a huff. When I took over the last past miserable position, the agreement was to have a truce with everyone until I caught up. Without this, its a hopeless position. So, until then LEAVE ME ALONE! The Assyrians need to reply this move and abide by the agreement. If this is not agreeable, I have no choice but to resign.

Think he summized it here?

But I now believe we have this resolved in the form of 10 turns of peace

then the party begins

HornedFrog · February 2, 2006, 18:38

No, I have not sent move 185. I need a replay of 185 from Gumpold where the treaty is not broken.

Let the good times roll!

thehappies · February 3, 2006, 15:00

Amen, brother.

Grandpa Troll · February 3, 2006, 16:19

185 to P Rex

To the ruling world council:

I have made a peace traty offer to the welsh along with some technology advancements

But I stand here today and to you

The Welsh are hiding WMD's and we need to be allowed neutral assyrian inspectors to assure these shall not be used on the world

I come before you now and ask for my case to be heard.

I offer proof positive of the hideous side effects from workers at their refinery/factories

You tell me if this looks like a welsh woman or a person to close to a fuel rod

Addled Platypus · February 3, 2006, 18:12

still dancing - 185

will you lead dancemasseuse

dancemasseuse · February 3, 2006, 21:27

turn 185 to thehappies

Well I have a complaint to the Engilsh. I would like for you to let me know your intentions publicly when you choose to move within striking distance of a city of mine, native americans. I understand transiting through the straits that seperate our lands, but non-the-less it is stupid to assume when someone moves that close they are always peaceful. So when you are peaceful you need to move that way and if you have hostile intentions you would move the same way. You also have another couple of ships close enough on my southern coast to attack a city. Please enlighten me. I did nothing this turn but bolster those cities.

Now to explain my extreme paranoia, smile.
I have been a wargamer since 1976. When it comes to strategy I spot patterns. Sometimes even before the other guy spots his own. So between the Assyrian who has every major wonder and will always have every major wonder and his alliance with the English, ranking 3rd place, they are capable of taking the world. Possibly even if all the other empires joined together.
Notes on the Assyrian: Look at the pollution chart in the diplomacy screen and see the very high jpollution levels they have: Meaning, they have some very nasty cities when it comes to producing units. I am also sure that based on the wonders the Assyrian has, that he has nukes and if not then he is very close to them.

So I have been giving every new advance to every one else every time I get one. I am trying to gie us all a chance to win. Think on that please.

Now I would not be so paranoid if you weren't all out to get me, smile.

Grandpa Troll · February 3, 2006, 22:00

me, the Assyrian are gonna have Horney Frog over fer some fish in a few turns

Addled Platypus · February 4, 2006, 06:19

To all those who need to know

I have stated and agreed to peace for the alotted time frame and possibly longer

I WILL move my units where ever I see fit-

could it be they are still exploring uncovered areas?

I will publicy declare war before I start moving troops to attack..

until then peace out

- NOTE - I did get the turn by mistake, I allready played 185

Oops, is that not the right turn order?

im not sure

hard to track a slow game with continually changing players

maybe we got it now though

thehappies · February 4, 2006, 09:01

Ok, I think the confusion is just because dancemasseuse cc'd everybody on his turn. As long as we post here when we play our turn, I don't think we need to cc everybody . . .

gumpold · February 4, 2006, 14:08

186-> horned frog

the next revolution- dancemasseuse

dancemasseuse · February 5, 2006, 17:03

I disagree about the cc'ing. I have found that people forget and accidents happen. so in the subject line if you tell people who's turn it is (Which I did) then we can all keep track and keep it moving. If we post here to keep track then when someone does not get their turn they won't look hear until they are ready to post. So the turn sits idle unless we check the thread everyday. Remember it sounds good however in reality we only look here after we get the turn and are ready to post. So if we did not get the turn, then we do know if it got stopped unless we log on here everyday or even every so often. I other games we have moved so much faster since we started doing this. I notice each turn and get to see it moving and can help keep up. Like I am playing a game with ken/horned frog and if I know he has this turn and he hasn't sent this one I notice that and ask him. So it helps keep a game moving. JIn s few other games almost every person is playing someone else so we all know when it stops immedietely without have to log on extra times to do it. ust because we never did it before is not a good reason not to.

dancemasseuse · February 5, 2006, 17:11

Yea guys see Grampa and platypus have it right. They see what I see. I always look and see what I would do if I was someone elsa. And if I was them I would have Platypus attack me between me and the Romans to tie up troops of mine in my north while he invades across the water to my south leading with Interceptors and following with the marines and tanks and paratroopers. I would fold like paper and they both see it. I also see the look on Grampa's face here about his intentions at the end ofthe truce. World pollution will rise, smile. After that guess who wins???

I am not crying or asking for help so don't think of this as whining. I laugh when I look. So The Dutch, Canadian, Romans and Welsh need to think about it.
yea, Grampa I bet you do have nukes, smile.
I see those clouds looming over the horizon.

thehappies · February 5, 2006, 17:28

I don't mind cc'ing everybody with each turn, but I think if you are in more than 10 games or so, that could make for a pretty hairy mess in your inbox. i'm only in 5 or 6 games, so it wouldn't bother me.

Grandpa Troll · February 5, 2006, 17:30

and I post here for two reasons:

One to track the turn, I aint cc'ing everyone
No I am not doing this

I will post here and its up to people to prompt the turn to move

The other reason I post here is for fun

To add some drama and also commradrie in story telling and trying to add some realism

I wont necessarily attack at the 10 turn mark although I might

Nukes are ok but many other units have additional fun in attacking

Time will tell
