History of the World 8 - Set Up Thread

[Robert]

No hurry, but I prefer to not have someone join on the last day. People who will invite should know for weeks that we will play. They shouldn't join in a moment of enthousiasm and then not show up the week after.

No, I asked my brother, but he is not, unfortunately.

Ps. I knew that you would take Lizzy. I knew it I knew it I knew it. You're getting predictable, so predictable!

So if you know me so well, who is the other leader I very nearly chose instead of Lizzy?

Arabia wishes her ally could drop her culture down to 160 (or even 210) in the city encroaching on our southern border...

That's why I aways advice for more land, so not to have the Arabians, Egyptian, Chinese and Indian in HOTW7 ask me to bring it down. If people like rubbing elbows in smaller maps they should expect me to culture pressure them

[Frank Johnson]

It wouldn't be so bad if a certain person who's name starts with a T, ends with an i, and has 'on' in the middle hadn't said "we'll get them to adjust the time for you." BTW you're pm box is full.

[Toni]

No idea whats wrong with my pm box i got 0 msg, I think something is wrong with it. So Frank please send it to karayanev@gmail.com this is the best way for me. Thanks

[OzzyKP]

It also counts sent messages too.

[Robert]

Toni tried to adjust the time for you, but I wouldn't comply
I'm sorry, I want to comply but I can't!

Regarding the culture wars, that's only cool 8)
Imagine a diplogame without culture wars! That's the best!

Also another reason for playing on an Island/Archipelago map.

You don't suffer culture squeeze unless you invade ... in which case, culture squeeze should be considered an act of war regardless.

Well all I can say is I am really disappointed that you guys are going this way without exploring or dicussing the options. If you're going to exclude people automatically in who cant make this established time slot you should just say so and not get people's hopes up.
