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

[Pitboss America]

.. 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'd be interested in hearing how you score ... what makes you mark an x for the tally? I find the voting the hardest part of this diplo game.

@ Greece & Rome

Thank you guys, but it's mainly (not only) because of the Mayan player who cheered me up that I'm still in. I have to admit that I don't regret my decision.

BTW, thank you, mayan player

Poor coordination has doomed many a war plan.

I have come to realize that intricate plots while fun are not the most efficient. Someone falling asleep or someone else misunderstanding an agreement can cause a plan to crash and burn.

I find it grand that countries in diplo games even if they are ruled by just one (in theory rational individiual) behave just as unpredictably as RL powers.

Orestes, what did you do to jump from 952 to 1006 mid turn? At that rate, in a few turns the Japenese will rule the world.

However I doubt Caesar, Genghis or Alexander ever slept through an important battle.

He's hyper-teching

[Pitboss Greece]

We've finally started to come to speed.
All preparations are finished, now I can fully focus on science and production.

Be warned, the Spartan Civilization is ready to shine.

Oh, and we got some techs of course.
