History of the World 8 - Organisation Thread (Pt2)

[Toni]

Toni and I are a good combo and would be way powerful in any game as allies. It's for this reasoon I balk at allying with Germans in this game but deep down it would really suit me.

Deity has a point, but still this is diplo and we should relay on IC not OOC, so being an enemy or whatever right from turn 0 is no diplo at all. That's why I disagree with you deity on this matter

For example say civ X meets civ Y, civ X says oh sh...t no way i will talk, work, trade with you or be your friend because i heard that in our past lifes we working together will be very strong, so im sorry now u will be my enemy.

All the intrigue, diplomacy development and negotiations go out the window!

Ok I hope that everyone is clear about tomorrows game start. All the US players will start at the usual game time 6:30pm est. Only Cs, Kuno and deity need to come 1hr earlier (is that correct Cs?)

I'm sure about Kuno and myself.
I'm not sure about Deity, Australian timezones are very complicated. I hope Deity wants to figure it out himself.

I do think that the 'leaders of the game' (best players) do have some responsibility for the game, to keep the ballance alive, but I agree with Toni that things don't have to be set in stone.

But I just hope that alliances do not all last for 100% of the game but may vary as well during the game. (for in-game reasons obviously)
That means that I hope that people will take concequences of certain actions of their allies. I don't think that a very liberal leader should go along as allies with a communistic leader. If your leader does an in-game action or course your in-game leader totally disagrees with, take the concequences. (you can talk 'in-game' about it obviously)

@Deity: did you figure out your gametime for next session? (you didn't read my PM) (put on notification )

None of you have voted yet
Where's the spirit, it only takes you 10 seconds!!!!

Be a good diplogamer and vote for Deity

A pretty easy site to figure out timezones is www.timezoneconverter.com

[Robert]

I don't know where exactly Deity lives.

[Toni]

Hmm he is an Ottoman, so that means he lives in Istanbul!

[Pinchak]

Someone mentioned a chat program. Which one exactly?

If you could provide the channel, pass, etc... that would be a big help.

[Toni]

AOL Instant Messenger or Yahoo Messenger either one will do.

What did you mean by

Nevermind the channel thing....


I use teamspeak and IRC more then standard IM.

[dacole]

I would say the more views is for the great discussion about world war II people kept coming back and viewed again to see if another part of that argument had been posted. I wish I had been able to post more often and was able to talk about it as the other American here. I won't bring it up again to beat a dead horse though (I do disagree about why the western front was opened but then I am playing Roosevelt, remember when America declared war on Japan Germany declared war on us)

Welcome to the game and the Americans haven't met the English yet so we have no opionon on their foreign policy pin...

AOL and Yahoo are free downloads.

Or better yet, get Trillian, that program allows you to use AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ and IRC. Also a free download here: http://www.trillian.cc

I am LazerKP on AIM and OzzyKP on Yahoo

[Robert]

Ok, somebody has to ask him
What does the KP stand for?

ah wait, I know....... why do you have two of them well all normal people only have one?
And do you have polish roots? Or something else east european?

[OzzyKP]

Hungarian. Both sides (a rarity to find a pure-bred anything over here in the US btw).

As for why two.. my parents were fairly progressive I suppose and decided to combine their names instead of just taking my dad's.

[Robert]

And what if you and your possible wife are very progressive as well, will your kids have 4 namaes and your grandkids 8?
