HOTW XII Diplogame Organization Thread. Part 2

[Robert]

France: you mean that that last mail you sent me was only intended for the first 2 session?
My post yesterday only included the votes I got recently.

@Inca: yes, I got your votes (session 2-6) last week.

[Diplo France]

Nope, sorry I misunderstood what you said.

My vote is for session six.

[Diplo Carpathia]

This past 10 or so days have been brutal. Haven't had very much time to sit down and post.

America, I will respond to your messenger, just hang tight. I plan a very long and well thought out post, but I just need to find the 2-3 hours to compose it properly. Alot has happened ingame, and I don't think me wacking out a post in 20 min is going to do it the deserved justice.

I promase a treat, just be patient.

[OzzyKP]

Everyone remember to vote for Deity (and other good people) in the hall of fame:

About tomorrow's session are we starting llike last week?

A half hr earlier for the aussies and EU people. So the US players can start at 12:30am?

Please all reply to this!!

I think Mongolia forgot about that or didn't read it last week, so lets please talk about it we got time to clearify and all make it in time. France I will need your help a bit here to help me organize the whole group.

Thanks

Also I will try to host tomorrow's game 15mins before the game time we come up with. I'm not at home currently so will try to host it via my laptop. Best that someone has a backup save to help me out if i fail.

[Diplo Holland]

Bit risky with laptop so hope we have backup here. I'll be a backup backup. And I'll be here same time as last week or earlier by another half hour if needed.

Hollande techs traded (so I don't forget)

Theology - France
Monarchy - France
Monotheism - France
Machinery - Ottomans
Guilds - America

Good to show the other civ so there is accountability all round (but not the details of what you got for the trade)

Still have five techs to trade.

[Diplo France]

Ok, we start half an hour early. All players take note, we don't want a similar situation to last week. Incas will have the game up 15 before that. It is best the Incas post a save and that we designate a back up host.


Also Ottomans, Russia and Carpathia are yet to vote for session 6. Please do this now, since after this weekends session we'll be starting votes on last week's session.

[Diplo America]

Once again, PLEASE PLEASE tell me what tech trades you have gotten with me. If I don't get some good information by tomorrow I am just going to ignore the 10 tech trade rule because I lack sufficient information to keep it.

How can I be expected to keep my trades under 10 if I have no idea what I've traded and no one helps me?

If no one is gonna help me piece together my past trades then fine, I'll just assume I never made any trades in the past and trade what I wish.

[LzPrst]

Last session played was session 7, I believe. This session will be nr. 8.

could someone please post a save btw?

[Diplo Inca]

I have tried to post the save twice, but poly doesn't accept it due to its size. I will email it to America who may know better ways of doing this.

Also Please respond if you are aware of tomorrow's earlier 30mins start?

[LzPrst]

I am aware and I'll be early.

For Hollande just the Guilds tech but you didn't use a tech of your own.

Please check with the original diplo America for prior trades if other nations aren't forth coming. I suspect you have traded with Carpathia and Mali and maybe Inca and Ottomnans.

Why isn't anyone helping America here?

I will be most annoyed if this isn't sorted out. Other civs should not seek advantage from this so as to disguise their own previous tech trades - not that anyone'd do this

Russia also should check their tech trading.

We have a 10 tech rule - we should honour it collectively as a responsibility.

I believe this rule is fundamental in the success of this game - shifting blocs, changing allegiances, real history stuff here.

As Inca said a way back, any civ falling behind can't really blame this rule - first look at your game play and ask for advise. Getting Pottery and lots of workers early is fundamental to teching.

Two civs in this game that were behind are bouncing right back! America and France.

[Diplo Inca]

Inca hasn't traded any techs with America - other neigbers should say something as well.

[Diplo Mongolia]

I cant remember trading any techs with the americans.
