Merry Christmas con!

And Merry Christmas to all diplo gamers as well.

con, this may be difficult for you because you are lazy and suck. But other than that you should do well.

I thought that as a far-left liberal American you would love to play the French.

(just so everyone knows. con and I are actually brothers (not true), but at birth he was drooped on his head and whisked away to to the forest to be raised by wolves. Worse than that, he became an engineer.)

Diplo games are pretty straightforward. They take a long time to play. You post some stories slagging the opposition. You can cut someone down to size, but not eliminate them, unless of course that player has left the game. Inexcusable!

Cyber Shy and Ozzy seem to do most of the organizing, but The Capo is back and now heavily involved trying to set up a new game.

And oh yes - Tony or deity usually win. It's not that they are very good at playing civ, the rest of just secretly feel sorry for them.

Merry Christmas all!!!

Tell conmcb25 how much fun he will be, and how he will be the best French player ever. Mais oui!!!!!

christmas break is good. ho ho ho everyone!

Beta · January 3, 2009, 12:24

Oz. What's the plans for starting this back up again? I gather we still need someone to play France. Correct?

MMC · January 4, 2009, 15:49

I won't be able to host again until next week, so you have until then to sort out who's who.

Correct. Know anyone?

LzPrst · January 5, 2009, 07:20

i can ask fransiski, but I don't think he's a big fan of pitboss, but I'll ask.

LzPrst · January 7, 2009, 13:43

texted fransiski. no answer. I can try again, but if I didn't get an enthusiastic response the first time I doubt he'll bite the on the second...

Beta · January 7, 2009, 22:28

I'll ask con again.

LzPrst · January 12, 2009, 03:59

When are we starting back up? If all we are missing is France, I think we may have found a sub and could kick off again soonish.

OzzyKP · January 12, 2009, 13:57

Yea, that's all we're waiting on. If we've got one, then we can get going.

Bonjour mon petit choux fleurs!!!
Pay attention, I will say this only once!!

It would be my most distinct privilege to take the reigns of the most glorious realm of the fighting cockerel. The little general who was my predecessor seems to have gone quite insane, declared war (again) and run off to his isle of marquis in the south and left the mademoiselles in quite a bother.
If you fair folk of culture and eloquence will indulge me, I will do my utmost to inject my own little je ne c'est quoi into this little joie de vivre that you have rustled up here. Be prepared for a little derring-do and a petit peu de grand deception. Un pour tous, et tous pour un!!!
Vive la resistance et liberte!!
Salut,
Rob

LzPrst · January 13, 2009, 07:14

Have you been able to log into the game? I'm not sure if France is passworded... Give it a try and tell us how it worked.

-Provided the server is up... MMC?

RobWorham · January 13, 2009, 11:53

Timing out.............

LzPrst · January 13, 2009, 12:05

the server is down. MMC needs to get it back up.

RobWorham · January 14, 2009, 01:53

OzzyKP · January 14, 2009, 06:51

Welcome Rob.

I'll talk to MMC.

MMC · January 14, 2009, 12:05

It's BACK!!

Toni · January 14, 2009, 16:42

NICE game is up!

LzPrst · January 14, 2009, 16:45

Mongrels played their turn

RobWorham · January 15, 2009, 03:19

LzPrst · January 15, 2009, 10:50

OzzyKP · January 15, 2009, 11:44

ALright, just waiting on Inca. Lets go!

LzPrst · January 16, 2009, 10:26

I can't find the tech trade count. Any help?

LzPrst · January 16, 2009, 10:45

Originally posted by Diplo Mongolia
America: Iron Working, Archery, Calendar, Compass, +1x = 5 total?
Carpathia: Alphabet, Construction, Mathematics, Machinery x 2, +1x = 6 total?
France: Alphabet x3, +2x = 5 total?
Holland: Monotheism, Theology, Monarchy, Machinery, Guilds (?) = 5 total?
Inca: Monarchy, Aesthetics +6x = 8 total?
Mali: +7x = 7 total ?
Mongolia: Iron Working, Masonry, Feudalism, Guilds, Music, = 5 total (did i trade something else with someone last turn?)
Ottoman: Mathematics, Currency, Undisclosed, Civil Service x 2 = 5 total?
Russia: none?

I took a trip through the forum and took a look at the tech trades and such, and this is what I managed to deduce. I ask that people take a long good hard look at this and post any information they have available that would correct this.
Can we all look at updating the above before our memories fail:

Techs traded by Hollande:

Theology - France
Monarchy - France
Monotheism - France
Machinery - Ottomans
Guilds - America
Education - Mali (gifted)
Gunpowder- Carpathia (gifted)
Steel - Ottomans?
OWE x1 - Ottomans

=9

This is what I found in Org thread 2... A qute from Mongols posted by Holland summarizing their totals.
