Team & Personal Announcements

Paddy · November 17, 2007, 05:28

so do we actually have an admin anymore???

Zoid · November 17, 2007, 05:49

Snoopy?

Paddy · November 17, 2007, 05:51

hmmm, no I do not think he would be it, as he is a team player...

it certainly would suck if he had the game admin password as well as able to take the game offline anytime he wanted etc

Addled Platman was one, not sure who the other was anymore...

Zoid · November 17, 2007, 05:56

Elucidus. And I thought who ever hosted the game was also the admin?

Paddy · November 17, 2007, 06:34

ahh yes Luc indeed

will send Platman and Luc an email with a link here

Addled Platypus · November 18, 2007, 19:56

there is a good chance you are the only admin we have

and with a dead team we do need an admin to step in and remove them etc

It appears that The Goonies is now a defunct team. I have made attempts to reach other members but I am unable to play this game myself.

Any action made by the appropriate Game Admins is accepted by me.

thanks and sorry.

You dont have ANYONE who can play the save?

At this point of the game there aint much to it..............

Keygen · November 20, 2007, 14:02

Perhaps the last 'Goonie' could recruit a couple of new members?

snoopy369 · November 20, 2007, 17:59

I have the ability to add or remove teams at my whim, as is required to be the person running the game

I could AI someone if it came to that (and then someone else could join as them, or retire them, or whatever). But that's obviously not a preference...

conmcb25 · November 20, 2007, 19:05

I am against conversion to AI, Im playing a pitboss where that happened and imho at least marginally exploitive behavoir has resulted.

Wipe the CIV off the face of the planet first.

AAHZ · November 20, 2007, 19:07

im sorry but its not my team, it is Unorthodox's. please PM him with the particulars.

yes I too feel it is best to remove the team instead of turning it into AI

IanDC · November 21, 2007, 06:52

Can't We just throw it open first ? See if there's anybody out there willing to play it either on their own or as a group.
We don't know how it will change the game removing them, it could give an extra chunk of free land to somebody or remove another teams only close potential trade partner etc.

Zoid · November 21, 2007, 07:20

Well, it couldn't hurt I suppose... Give it two weeks and if no one's interested remove the civ then. A removal will affect the game in one way or another, but what can you do? You can't force people to play... We'll have to treat it as a random event, plauge or something...

Paddy · November 21, 2007, 08:05

leave their cities in ruins

I say no Ian, but I see your point.

The biggest hurdle in these games is KEEPING INTEREST. Another two week delay is just going to make this situation worse.

Get rid of them and move on.

Or tank this game and start another, and dont accept teams unless they have at least 3 turnplayers. (or more)

After some discussion team Southern Cross agrees.

If the Goonies have no player they need to be removed from the game.

Not AI'd - removed.

I am with Ian on this one. I find that eliminating a civ is almost as unbalancing as letting the AI run it, for the reason Ian mentioned.

But if no one comes forward to take it over (has anyone tried recruiting??? - if not - I will...), then I favour nuking over the AI.

Give me a few days to see if I can rustle up some new players.

conmcb25 · November 22, 2007, 12:22

Game on just eliminate em

Or end the game.

I dont want band aids, I want progress.............

Keygen · November 23, 2007, 13:13

I would say switch to AI for a week or so, and if nobody's interested at taking over the Goonies then retire the respective civ.

It's that simple

I'll be the pinata! Sign me up.

hope you are in for the long haul

and welcome

eden5900 · November 24, 2007, 14:54

No problem with the long haul. I have games at landgrab.net (risk clone) that have 20 players and 72 hour turn settings. I'll be playing that game until about 2010, and need something else to keep me busy!
