Beyond the Pit [Pitboss Diplomacy Game] [OOC Chat Thread]

[Pitboss Persia]

I think all he (Inca) will achieve with his current attitude is that he won't make good friends with anyone, which will probably proove fatal when there is no more unsettled land out there.

[Robert]

I don't have much respect for people who just don't participate for 3 months and then after 3 months, after being asked, claims that he just thought that the others posted too much.

[Robert]

And even if he thought there were too many stories, he still should've participated in the tech trade and org threads.

[Pitboss Japan]

my point exactly.

[Pitboss Japan]

Look at everything Raz is missing. 2 wars and two more about to start. This is great keep it up guys

I don't think this necessarily has anything to do with seperated threads. Japan is right, you don't necessarily have to read other people's posts (although you should really for voting purposes). If we separated the threads that would be okay I guess, but when there is overlap we'd just have to combine them again anyway so its kinda irrelevant really. I think ultimately less players is the only way to effect the posts.

Although there are those of us who actually like all of the stories, but to each his own I guess.

I only read the posts on my continent consistently.

I try to read them all but unless it says Japan or it grabs me from the start I do not read it. Like your post, I don’t read it all unless it says something about Japan if not then I just skip to the parts that your generals are in.

Damn ....

.. this is going to be a difficult month for voting. I keep a note pad beside my keyboard with sort of a 'running tally' to help me decide. This month, each category has more that 3 civs in it, and if I submitted my votes as they currently stand so far, I will be voting for 9 different civs.

I'm just wondering if it's OK to play your turn but not end it.

Sorry Portugal, I know others have done it but it holds up the timer doesn't it?

I think Cyber said we shouldn't do it.

[Pitboss Korea]

Playing your turn and not ending it (for the purposes of the timer rule) is terrible form, and anyone who does it should be penalized.

[Pitboss H Roman]

If you plan on coming back into the game for that turn to finish something, then I see no problem with not ending your turn.

But if you have finished all your moves and tweaks for this turn, then hit end. Otherwise the turn will max out to the turn timer waiting for you.

[Robert]

Sometimes it's not possible to end your turn in one session. That's not a problem, I think. Just come back a bit later and finish it.

But please don't do not end your turn b/c of in-game reasons.

[Pitboss Maya]

Are we talking about making your moves, then not ending your turn as a possible exploit to the 6 hour rule?

If that is the case, I don't see how this could even be an exploit. If the timer runs down and you haven't "ended your turn" then your turn ends in the last second before the timer flips to the next turn.

So, concerning the war with myself and Portugal...

The only way for me to wind up on the "6 hour wait" end of our turns would be if I didn't play my turn in the first 6 hours of a turn, and he played his before I played mine. Otherwise, he will always be second to take his turn.

Maybe I am way off in my understanding of the discussion here... just wanted to make this clear in case...

[Pitboss Korea]

Yeah I actually don't see how it could be an exploit either, but I might be missing something. I just said that in case there is a possible exploit.

[Pitboss Spain]

I have no problem with someon e wanting to use the whole timer so that it is good for them to play when they play. Sometimes it is the reality of this situation. People do have lives outside of this game so it is important to try and allow people to fit this game around their lives. To be honest this game is not really that important in comparison to the rest of our lives.
