The Dance of Civilizations [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread Pt1]

[Persia (DoC)]

edit by RP: moved from story thread to here.


ooc: I don't buy this 'big is mean' thing. Persia gave away 3 vouchers freely and we helped our 3 neighbours to get galleons so that they could colonize the world. We did this with the purpose to help them grow strong.

The role playing aspect of this game will be lost if smaller civs will blame 'big civs' with prejustice because they're big. And I will immediately stop helping smaller civs to grow and to ballance if the result is that these smaller civs will attack me anyway and accuse me of maniuplation b/c I GIVE THEM GIFTS.

Now big civs get accused of either
- you do imbalance the game by not being good to smaller civs by not giving them vouchers
or
- you manipulate small civs by giving them vouchers and goodies.

Of course I use my contacts with neighbors to reach my goals. That's what we all do, right? Big or small civs. But I on purpose decided to deal with my small neighbors on a base of equality and sharing my good position by giving them vouchers, all techs they wanted (for vouchers), armies and galleon upgrades.

Now I know that next game I'd better secure my borders, give not out any goodies, do not help small civs if they are attacked and colonize the new worlds myself. Then I would most probably be able to compete with India.

The lesson you small civs teach me so far is: Don't be good to your neighbors, they'll hate you anyway b/c you're big (jealousy, and you, Korea are the worst). That's ok, next game I'll be bad and I won't give out any freebies. To hell with role playing. I'll just play it as a single player game. It doesn't pay off to be good anyway.

I love this war with Russia! I don't blame Russia for attacking me! I don't care if I lose.
What I do really dislike though is that I am now blamed for things that are not fair and which is nothing more then a "small civs vs big civs" campaign that has NOTHING to do with role playing anymore.

But maybe that's what the small civs want. Big civs vs small civs.
Ok, India, England and Byzantium, shall we form an alliance then?
Nah, I prefer role playing.

[Korea (DoC)]

edit by RP, moved from story thread to here. this post is more ooc then ig.

korea is never wrong...

All those who traded techs with the top 4 are simply pawns in making those top 4 ****** and stronger.

They have ruined any chance of a balnced world.

They think because they allied with the eventual biggest that they have done well.

Well Korea speaks its mind to its own detriment we know, but we follow no one. We are no ones pawns. We may be fooled but we do not willingly give up that which is the worlds right.

The right to fun... and i know all ready many are fooling tthemselves.

I have already recieved word from many experts that this world faces only one ending. Is is not destined to be it is being made to happen that keep allowing the top 4 to dominate by giving them freebies.

It is not needed to have war and other aggresive action , just to stop being so free.

[Korea (DoC)]

wrong thred

[Russia (DoC)]

I can run on a short timer.

[Korea (DoC)]

Have you seen the map the Persians have published milady? It is truly amazing. How they have managed to portray our empires as equals, how they portray our attack as a backstab all the while praising Hastogian virtues of might makes right. It is like they are mad with too many voices shouting within their heads.

-I know Roza, but luckily my dear husbands explorers have finished their mappings of Persia Major. Publish the map and send copies to all leaders of the world, I am certain that everyone would be much interested in these exotic and foreign lands.

must be confusing in persia to have so many citys named Persicity

[Byzantium (DoC)]

My understanding is that the Inca-English war, which is where war broke out, is far from over.

[Orb (DoC)]

Less I'm mistaken hasn't Inca pledged not to stop?? But a shorter timer would be nice again. I do miss playing twice a day

[Persia (DoC)]

Now the English wars are over (aren't they?) we may want to reduce the turn-timer again. perhaps something like 15 hours?
I can only not play during UK Office times. (+- 7am - 5pm)
worst case: If the turn starts 8am then there will be like 6-7 hours on the timer for Russia.

Is that enough for you, Russia?

[Mali (DoC)]

Second place isn't all that bad.

[India (DoC)]

Civstat shows us a vision how this game will be ended

[Orb (DoC)]

All hail the great wife.

[Robert]

The server was very slow.
I've asked my wife to reboot it, which she just did.

[Orb (DoC)]

Can't long in. It keeps saying host time out.

[Arabia (DoC)]

On second thought no .... seems Roime is blocking me.

I'll have to try when I get home from work

Have to go

[Arabia (DoC)]

Looks like I am getting in now ... maybe a timing issue I guess
