Two new players needed for: "Beyond the Pit" - a diplomacy pitboss game

[MMC]

Of course, the whole point is moot if Danny has been scared off by all this scrutiny.

[Pitboss Korea]

Here's what I say to that MMC; if I were a new guy trying to get a game going, and trying to meet people to play with you've got a group of 17 guys here off the break. Secondly, and especially considering the anonymous nature of the internet to begin with, why would I simply shrink away from a game just because they are accusing me of being someone else? Wouldn't it be more likely that this Danny person would deny these allegations and write them off as stupid speculation? If I were in his shoes that would be my reaction to all of this.

Now, if you are a person who has already tried to pull this BS off, and got caught because of a double log-in, would you not try again with a different PC/IP address? And when you did try and were quickly accused of the same thing wouldn't you simply disappear and chalk it up as a loss?

Besides all of that, we are looking for dedicated players. If this happens to you and you quickly decide against it perhaps it was for the best that we didn't get him to play.

In a game like this, a long game that is GOING to have more contraversy we are better off getting someone who really wants to play. On top of that somebody who at least has a rudementary understanding of what a diplogame is. So if he hasn't even been back since then, and hasn't defended himself why should we think him anything other than an (a) undedicated player, or (b) BlackDragon?

Well, then we'd better close this thread, if we won't trust people who assign anyway.

But fortunately the truth is different.
People read the apolyton forums, they read the MP forums, then suddenly there is a thread that asks for new players for a game you're interested in.
Finally you have a reason to register at Apolyton, and reply to the thread.

And like MMC says, even if it is Dragon, I wouldn't bother. He wrote good stories and was an enthousiastic player. I don't see what he could destroy anyway.

I'm afraid you scared him away Capo :P
Anyway, tomorrow, when I have the power to organise again, then I'm going to replace all these posts that are surely going to scare away potential new players

[Pitboss Korea]

I'm not saying not to trust anyone, you are putting words in my mouth. I'm saying a guy signs up for Apolyton, then signs up to play in a Diplogame. Unless you are already a member of Apolyton I doubt you know what a Diplogame is. They don't play Diplogames over at CF, and if they do maybe I should check it out because they probably have more sense than some of you people.

That was totally him.

I'm sorry I have not responded quickly. My job keeps me very busy and it is hard to find the time to get online. If you have something open, I'll take it just PM me the info I need. Thank you for allowing me to join your group.

[Pitboss Korea]

You know Danny, if you are busy it may be hard for you to play. You have be play at least once a day because the timer is at 19 hours, and if you suspect you are going to miss sessions you should get a sub, and if you know ahead of time this makes it easier.

I'm not sure I trust you, I'll say that right now, but I'm an ******* and not many of these guys like me anyway so I don't mind if you don't either. You had better not be BlackDragon though.

[Pitboss Vikings]

One turn per day, plus handling the DIPLO side of things, with PMS Emails and storys to read and post, and to be involved in the discussion threads.

It will be a 2 yr committment Danny so make sure you undertand the committment first.


But welcome to the game....

Which civ he getting ?

[Black Knight 427]

I can play in the mornings so a 19hr timer is ok with me. And it is ok if you don't trust me because I don't trust anyone. In my line of work trust is earned not given. So I understand where you are coming from.

[MMC]

Hehe... I like this guy...

It would appear that Russia is around, just having troubles playing, whereas Japan needs a player who isn't me. If you have a particular preference, PM myself or Cyber, and we'll try to keep your selection quiet from everyone else.

Also, do you understand the respondsibilties you'll have to post in the Story thread explaining your actions? You may post as much or as little as you like, but 1 post a month is a recommened minimum.

[Pitboss Korea]

Actually, I HIGHLY suggest you check out the Diplogame FAQ and Reference Manual, which is topped in the Multiplaying forum. You should also check out the archives of some of the old games to get a sense of what you are supposed to do.

PS; You better not be BlackDragon.

[Pinchak]

At this point I would say, 75% chance it is BlackDragon.

But as I said before, I really don't care.

[bantams]

stiil looking for a sub?

[Robert]

Well, not at this moment, but you'll be firts on our list as soon as we get a vacant spot!
