Beyond the Pit [Pitboss Diplomacy Game] [Organization Thread VI]

[Pitboss Celts]

I have paused the game.
I admire players like America, Celts and Wyandonia, civs who are backward but stay loyal to the game till the end! Thanks guys!

Who you calling backwards???? Don't provoke me. I've got backing of the entire Meduian continent

[Robert]

Yes, but we do need a sub. THe civ has been long enough without a leader.

We in Sparta call the Celts backwards because your on the west side of the date-line. You're at least 13 hours behind Sparta!

Backwards bunch of Celts.
Come to Sparta and bring your Meduian friends, let's make a war about it!

*checks if Sparta does indeed learn the ability to create modern armor in one turn*

[St Jon]

Old saying but so very true, 'Beware of Greeks bearing gifts'!

Meduia vs. Sparta. Lets do it.

BUGGER BtP - ENGLAND GOT A DRAW!!!!

Hope you Aussies are weeping now that 10 and 11 could see us through!

How sweet is avoiding defeat.

A Happy Day!

[Pitboss Rome]

Err - I am missing something or is Ozzy's reason for wanting to pause so that Khmer and Spain can vote for him in the election? Is this the elephant in the room? I can see it can be called either way, but not sure why nobody is talking openly.

[St Jon]

Pause Request.

If I am required to play Spain or Khmer tomorrow it cannot be guaranteed until at least 1900 BST. If possible earlier, I will let you know, but I doubt it. It may be later but I will do my best.

[Robert]

BST? What's BST? Apolyton is dutch, this game is dutch, thus we talk GMT

[St Jon]

It's the only time that matters!

GMT+1

Damn Foreigners.

[Robert]

BST = GMT + 1?
CET = GMT + 1

BST =british summer time?

[Rasputin]

So are nukes done? Is it time for a Nuking of Rome ?

All out war between the top three !!!!

Is Cricket the only game where people rejoice so much after 5 days of a game with no RESULT. It bad enough with soccer, 90 minutes and a DRAWN game.



Hmmmm Maybe Civ is like that too. 12 months of a game and no Result !!!!

[Pitboss Rome]

Can anyone explain why we have paused?

As in, according to our rules, why we have paused?

It seems a rather sad way to end with such a stage-managed situation engineered with pauses.

[Robert]

Ok, I just talked with Jeroen. He was away for the weekend and had no internet connection in his vacation home, while he was told there would be.

Anyway, Jeroen suggested that Kees (Maya) better take Portugal b/c a new player would have a hard time first to understand the world politics, which would take too much time.
Bjorn then could take Spain and Maya. We can continue to look for a player for Maya in that case.

Final suggestion:
Rome: The Priest (original: Herclitus)
Portugal: Kees (original: Toni)
Metalheads: Ozzy
Khmer: Jeroen (original: deity)
Sparta: Robert
Russia: St Jon (original: LzPrst)
HRE: Beta
Vikings: Aussie_Lurker (original: Rasputin)
Japan: mzprox (original: BlackDragon)
Spain: Bjorn (original: classical hero, later: Jeroen)
Natives: Wittlich
Celts: bamf226
America: WarningU2
Maya: Bjorn (original: Pinchak, later: Kees)
England: MMC

eliminated:
Persia: Vampgelus
Inca: Whip[lash
Korea: The Capo (original: Jon)

Portugal is playing - as we speak.
When he's done I'll pause the game again. Then later tonight around 18:00 GMT, I'll launch the game again. There's about 1:30m on the timer then.
Please try to play your turn then

All thanks for cooperation! Let's get this over and done with
