[Pitboss Rome]

[Pitboss Portugal]

Thank you CyberShy for the reload. It seems to work now properly. Sorry to the whole group for wasting some hours on this!

[Pitboss Spain]

I better get to writing some stories now, shouldn't I Rome.

@khmer, that is for me to know and you to find out.

[Robert]

my isp is down. i have saved the game and stopped the server. Will post here when things are ok again

[Robert]

Game's up again.

[Pitboss Celts]

Ozzy did you hang up the game? I loged in to take my turn and you joined. Since then, it's stuck saying you are logging in. Been that way for nearly 10 minutes.

**EDIT** Looks like everything corrected itself.

[OzzyKP]

It took me a really long time to log in, I don't know why. The game was very slow when I was in there too.

[Pitboss H Roman]

Re-played my turn about 30 minutes ago. Connection was fine.

Just the Inca to play.

Ok guys, it's time to vote again!
I've pasted the vote rules/instructions below (see quote)

All please vote before December 8th or ask for a delay!
Only vote for posts in the November-Story Thread.
Don't vote for things you have already voted for in past vote rounds.

Good luck to all!

Voting

Every 1st day of the month we will start voting for the best players in 3 categories during the last month.

We vote in 3 categories:
1. story telling
2. diplomacy
3. military strategy

We send in a top-3 list for every category.

Story telling is about submitting interesting stories to the story thread in any format.

Diplomacy is about being able to reach your goals through diplomacy in any way.

Military strategy is about making very tactical strategical moves and decisions. (make sure you post evidence about this in the story thread!)
NB: this category isn't meant only for the war-winners. Someone can lose a war because he's a weaker player, but made some brilliant moves. In this thread we can award him for that. The game-scorelist will reward players for winning wars.

Every player is free to pick 3 players in every category. No more! Less (or none) is possible if you can't choose. It would be cool if you could include reasons for the vote.

Rules for voting:
1. send them in before the 4th of the month!
2. votes send in after the 4th of the month do not count
3. players who didn't vote for a specific month will not gain vote-points for that specific month
4. voting happens through the anonymous mail address
5. votes stay unknown till the end of the game (to avoid political votes)
6. votes are being send to vote@diplo.plomp.eu or votes@diplo.plomp.eu
vote@diplo.plomp.eu.test-google-a.com also works.
7. The mail subject includes "votes round x"
8. You can't vote for yourself
9. The vote-mailbox that receives all votes will remain closed till the game has been finished. Then we will all receive the password and be able to read/count the votes and read the comments.

The #1 in each category earn 3 points, #2 earns 2 points, #3 earns 1 point.

This will result in 4 scorelists (3 above mentioned categories + the gamescore list)

All players will receive points for their position in all of these 4 lists. 18 points for the #1's, 17 points for the #2's, ...... 1 point for the #18's

The sum of these points tells us who won this game.

Conclusion, the winner is determined by:
25% gamescore
25% story telling
25% diplomacy
25% military strategy
