HOTW XII Diplogame Organization Thread. Part 2

[OzzyKP]

Thanks so much agent for subbing for me. I'm sure your services will be needed in the future.

Can someone send me the save?

[Diplo Ottoman]

At this point of time, the Ottomans do not have a sub for next week, in fact will need a sub for next 2 weeks, I have sent an email to Agent, but received no reply as yet, although it was sent last Sunday.

[Diplo Inca]

Otto i will try also to get hold of Agent to sub for you.

Also so people know i made a pretty solid save which will even allow us to play if someone doesn't show up.

From my understanding Mali and Carpathia will be back for next session. So for now it looks like only ottos are in need of a sub.

Also how is the voting going people?

[OzzyKP]

I am behind on voting and need to get caught up. I will be here for this session.

How is everyone else doing with voting?

[Pinchak]

No revealing your identity.

-Ozzy

(only I can do that.... )

[Pinchak]

LOL, I keep forgetting.

[OzzyKP]

Actually, your post got me thinking. After a few months of this anonymous experiment, how many civs are still a mystery to people? Everyone please list off the civs whose identity you know and who you haven't yet guessed. Obviously don't reveal anyone's identity.

For my part:

Holland - Known (figured out quickly)
Mongolia - Known (figured out quickly)
Inca - Known (figured out quickly)
France - Known (took a while to figure out)
Carpathia - Known (took a while to figure out)

Russia - Known now (obviously) but don't know the original player
Mali - No idea
Ottomans - No idea

[Diplo Inca]

I know everyone!

[The_Aussie_Lurker]

I know the Inca, Holland, America and Russia-but the last 2 only because they now have permanent subs. Everyone else is a mystery, though I have my suspicions for 1 or 2. I actually think that this Anonymous thing has been brilliant. No better proof exists than the fact of how alliances have shifted so wildly through the game-no permanent power blocs!

[Pinchak]

I know America and Russia 100%.

I could take a good guess at Inca, Holland, and Mongolia. (almost certain I could name the three players, but perhaps not the exact civ they have, if that makes sense).

Carpathia, Otts, France, and Mali remain a mystery to me.

Then again, I really haven't ever tried to deduct who was who.

No better proof exists than the fact of how alliances have shifted so wildly through the game-no permanent power blocs!

I think the tech trade cap probably has more to do with this then anon. I do however enjoy the anon concept as it tricks me into thinking I am dealing with an actual nation/leader rather then a player.

Are you sure?

There's been a lot of trickery going on

I love anon and the tech trade limit.

I'm not certain about several of the players which is great! Agree with Pincak's points.

Use of subs spoils it a bit and the tech trade limit could easily be forgotten about - not their fault.

Americas - Know
Holland - totally confused
Mongolia - totally confused
Inca - Know
France - totally confused for a long time but maybe know now
Carpathia - totally confused
Russia - Know now but not sure of original player
Mali - Know
Ottomans - Know

[deity]

The thing with anonymity is that even if you think you know who the other player is you can't really admit to it but I guess most of us have made a few expedient errors here...

All the same anon improves enjoyment immensely.

I am aware of the identities of 4 civ leaders and have been from about the 2nd or 3rd week, Holland, Ottoman, Mali, Inca

[condor223]

I have never voted. Is there a place to do so or who to contact? I also have no access to Russia diplo emails. Was never given the keys for it when original Russia left. (note this is second time I have asked) If its not needed, then don't bother with the diplo email. Just contact me as i am.

As a sub, I had to learn who France was.

I think that subbing and finding subs revealed a few people for me. What keeps things fresh and not personal is the subs, who have confused me quite a bit... also using the leader nicks have kept me pretending a lot better.

Americas - Know
Holland - known
Mongolia - totally confused
Inca - Know
France - Know
Carpathia - totally confused
Mali - Know maybe
Ottomans - unsure
