Ok, Toni is now official the most addicted diplogame player
He slightly beats Ozzy who came home from vacation and started diplogaming first immediately and CyberShy who played 1 week after his wife gave birth to his first son. I would have won if I would have played while my wife gave birth. I do officially suck.

Don't forget downloading and installing the game on my friend's computer while on vacation...

But yea, for actually changing his flight, Toni beats me out.

But lets keep this between ourselves guys, the family won't be very happy seeing the actual reasons for the extra stay. Hey I really didn't want to miss an upcoming session so late into our game.

Also ozzy thanks for the graph there

Ok I better sit down and write my story post later today, it's about time that I post something. Much has happened since my last one.

[OzzyKP]

Yea, i think everyone needs to put down a real story post.

[Robert]

Is someone suggesting that my krishmas story was not a 'real' story?

[Toni]

Thank you England, Bulgaria and Choson for keeping the story thread alive this week

[Glohithia]

Ill be around tomorrow for the regularly scheduled fun. I may be coming home right at normal game start time though, which is 5:30pm my time (CST or GMT -6). If somebody can IM me the IP, Ill join as soon as I get in.

[Robert]

If you mean PM with IM (apolyton private msg) then I'll do that!

[Toni]

Great session guys as usual

[OzzyKP]

Ok, who has beef with me?

Stop the whisper campaign and lets have it out in the open.

What? And be branded a whinger

Keep it behind closed doors guys

[OzzyKP]

If people are resentful and waging a whisper campaign against people, even calling them cheaters or anti-diplo then this is absolutely unhealthy for the game and the community. The only way to address it is to put it out in the open and discuss it.

[deity]

I think if you've heard such things take it up them directly. Don't drag it through the forums.

[Robert]

I'm fine with people whispering, but it must be whispered in my ear also! I hate it to be left out

[Toni]

I though this was just a game, and we are suppose to enjoy it and have fun. In my opinion people should stop pointing fingers, but look into their own actions, game skills and mistakes.

And to those who say that me allying with ozzy from the start is being unhealthy for the game and that it’s not diplomatic to stay for so long allied I would say please stop. I even would say the Bulgarians working with the Arabs for so long was even one of the most diplomatical things in our game. Tech trading, resources trading, GP exchanges, military support, cash loans, settlements planning, future conquests and even other deals have been shared between us. Of course we had some disagreements for some issues but we have worked then through. If this isn't pure diplomacy tell me what is then please. Because I'm starting to be confused about what this game is all about.

And I would say to you guys, that ozzy deserved only credit here, we have both worked very hard to achive what we are today in this game.

For me ozzy is on of the best diplo players out there, so you attacking him like that is just unhealthy.

[Robert]

I agree with Toni.
The problems I had with HOTW 5 was that the 4 best players allied together against the weakest players.
An alliance of nations who allied long before they were the best is not wrong.

The Choson and the Vikings are maybe combined even stronger then the Bulgarians and the Arabians.

And alliances can of course endure for an entire game.
Egypt/india/China has a life-long alliance as well.
It makes a game more interesting of course if alliances are broken and knifes are stabbed in the backs of allies

The game was boring till England invaded the Incans, thanks to England 8)
So far only Arabia, India and England dared to shake things up a little bit
