The HOTW VII - Setup Thread IV - We Talk Too Much

[Robert]

I'm curious to what the solution was!
BTW, that Toni helped you is normal, he's your friend. It's superspecial that even I tried to help you! I hope you'll remember that next time I invade Bulgaria

With the new patch I suddenly have enough GG points for a Great General!!

yes! I will be playing. I was totally ready to play last friday, even bougth the CD and patched, but a friend of mine came to town and we had a few beers and I was having fun. contrasting the week before when I was pissed off and depressed and couldnt play cause I couldnt think, let alone sit still, I decided to ditch you.

I thought I text messaged cyber that I wasnt coming.

long story short. I needed a break. I will be there next friday.

I'm sorry for ditching you. but it wasnt planned. I'll try to make up for it. my track record previously for this game is fairly clean, so I hope you'll forgive my two failings.

Not forgiven

Just bloody well turn up! And get OT too. He's not a vassal anymore... thx to AI!

Or at least get subs so other civs can trade with you.

We must get humans for most civs. Running one as AI is OK but not 3.

Interesting all week only 3 people posted their stories

[Robert]

And none of those stories were as interesting as the stories about the truth behind Asoka 8)
I'm acutually suprised that Kuno and Nolan and Haakon didn't start to yell at Asoka yet. Wouldn't help though, he's dead.

[OzzyKP]

dead.

Well once again I`m working 11 hrs today. Tried to get today off, but when I mentioned it, they just about had a heart attack . I have been working on a Turkey breeding farm and have worked my way into the AI, (atifical insemination), crew. They need all 6 of us to do it, and Wednesday 2 guys didn`t show. Normally we only do this Mon- Thurs. ,so I should get fridays off, but it hasnt hapenened these last 2 weeks.

Try to get a sub for me....if you can. I will probably show up fot the last hr or so, like last week......... Thx

[Robert]

If you can't get a day off, you must certainly be able to get 1 hour off!

[KunojiLym]

Folks, I'll be taking the next two sessions off here, myself. Apologies for the late notice, but exams are now hanging over my head like a sword on a thread. (I'd also admit that I probably need a little break after the last session. ) Yeah, I know I haven't posted... I'll try to remedy that, but the essense is that whoever becomes my sub has carte blanca to do as he/she pleases.

Sorry 'bout that, folks. I'll see you all after December 5th.

[Robert]

Maybe we'd better skip 2 sessions instead of playing with even more AI players
I'm not sure if we can expect LzPrst to play, not to mention Omni we haven't heard anything (Omni) or much (LzPrst) from them. too bad, LzPrst started like a real fanatic for this game

Right now it feels like only a few are really into this game
Not so good since it's a good game....

[OzzyKP]

Well Lz promised to play this week.

And I've lined up a new permanent player for the Celts, and Abyss volunteered to sub tonight. Now that I'm patched Levi might be able to find additional subs too.

So we'll be missing China, Kushren & England, and will have 1 confirmed sub for them. If Levi could find one more, and we let the Kushren go AI until Conq comes back then we only have 1 civ going AI for half the session. Not too bad.

[Robert]

Ok, let's hope that'll work.

[Toni]

Whats the lesson here, next diplo don't let unreliable players play.

We should not cancel our games due to others not being able to come. The game must go on

Also if we continue to have an Ai we need to just kill that civ, and give the closest nation their cities.

[OzzyKP]

Well the only really unreliable player here is Omni Trout who has only showed up to 1 game in the last 5 sessions. I think Lz, Kuno, Conq, and Glohitha can be excused their absenses, even though they are definitely hurting the game.
