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

[Arabia (DoC)]

Thank you Robert I did not see that post. I frequently play this turn early in the morning or in the evening upon return from work. I do not have the luxury of reviewing all the posts .... wishing only to alert you and other players that I am unable to play my turn.

@mzprox & @Arabia, please just ready my last bold/red message to find an answer to your question.
Always please first read my message before you ask a question. I write those message with the purpose to inform you.



Game is up again.
I'll try to let all turns from now* on start around 17:00 GMT

*Till Inca is not at war anymore

why do people assume everyone else is an idiot ...

I know i am , but i assume everyone else here is clever.

perhaps if we all gave each other some respect then we wouldnt see so many people getting upset when treated like idiots.

[Arabia (DoC)]

This is what I mean.



I hope that is sufficient explanation for my comment.

I am quite able to understand the concept of checking whose turn it is (thank you), but if the application is down at the host's end or the game is down, I'd be very appreciative if there is another means to know whose turn it is , short of calling each person individually.

On a subject entirely different ...

I immediately upon learning there was a problem with the image I posted in the story thread took action to reduce the size. I am truly sorry that I impacted anyone that is not blessed with a wide screen 21" monitor like myself at a ridiculous resolution. I think some of the subsequent discussions and mail I received would have only been warranted, had I NOT taken action immediately upon learning there was a problem. Nuff said.

What do you mean you have no idea whose turn it is?
It's easy: civstat writes who had already made its turn (there is a dot next to their names on the list). So you check wether Inca and England both finished their turns, then it's you turn-for you only those two matters.

[Korea (DoC)]

even i gave some top of the range scores this month...

[Inca (DoC)]

voted also. This time i think that some are worth good very good rates.

[Inca (DoC)]

ok i am now to play. Sorry to be a problem but i have to get awake at 05.30 and not get back home untill 1830-1930. This is gmt+1 so is not so easy to play good war with no coffee inside me and railway waiting.

Please this is computer game and not love.

What is happening btw? Why is the game down? I want to play my turn now!!

[Rome (DoC)]

A reminder/lesson for everyone on image posting. Not that I care anymore since I have this crazy wide new monitor, but it can be really, really annoying when people post wide pictures and "break the thread". So instead of using the standard [IMG] tag, please take a moment to use this:

< img src="http://www.theaddressofyourimage.com" width="750">

Use that, except delete that first space after the first bracket. That'll take care of everything automatically and you don't have to go and resize pics in paint or photoshop or anything.

to not lose the option to see the image full screen, you can improve on that by doing this:
< a href="http://www.theaddressofyourimage.com" target="_new">< img src="http://www.theaddressofyourimage.com" width="750">< /a>

again take care to get rid of the space before img and a

This makes it so, that when you click the image, it will open in a new screen full size

Have no idea whose turn it is.

[Arabia (DoC)]

Unable to play this morning. Game and CIVSTATS appear to be down?

Have no idea whose turn it is.

I'll be home around 7pm EST after work today ... maybe an hour earlier.

If the game starts up and if someone could please pause the game if it is my turn, that would be great but if not I understand. I honestly don't care if I am double moved on.

[mzprox]

Pause could be problematic because the game cannot be unpaused at the diplomatic screen.

Since England and Inca already hitting each other it might be too late to change turn order

If Inca only can play once per day, in the afternoon, then the best way to handle this to make the turn flip always in the afternoon (gmt) around 4-7 pm. This is not that hard to do (unless RP keeps getting strange pop-ups).
So set the next timer to make the flip next day afternoon then keep the timer at 21-22 hour (tune it later if necessary to keep the flip in the 4-7 pm range)

[Korea (DoC)]

I'm pausing the game till I'm home again from work.
Otherwise the turn timer will run out of time while all war parties still have to play

@Korea: we can't let the 20 hours start when Inca is done technically. The hours just start at the beginning of the turn and can't be changed during the turn.

hours are changed whenever someone pasues game, so if someone pauses it for inca and then he lets it play each time then there wont be a problem. we get one turn per 24 hours...
