Of course that's right. My frustrated post was because this is an org. thread, not the story thread, and Russia's post seemed to be to me making OCC points about numbers of cities and talk of 'to the end of the game (does Dominika think its a game?). And talks of 'I'll fight for it until I win or am exterminated' but of course the rules don't allow extermination.

Perhaps we should stop the in character / OCC confusion which this stream of posts in the org thread has caused (I know I have been part of that too) and get back to playing a game, which is an in character role-play.



I really wish we could be currently there is a complicated dance of naval forces going on in the straights between Niceae and Rhodes with one false move causing destruction for either fleet, so its hard for me to be on 11 hours but not allowed to move before Russia. That can easily mean a 6 hour window for moves but I have to sleep and be in work for longer than that!

All keep role playing to the story thread again.
Things are indeed getting confusing

@Britannia: I'm fine to switch to a 12h clock again as soon as Russia and Byzantium agree.

All: next weekend I'm going to be in Rome. I won't be home before sunday evening European Time and I'll leave friday end of the afternoon (European time again).

The game will just continue to run of course.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

I know but who is the 'I' in that Dominikia or the human player? Very happy as Persia says to deal with role-playing by Russia, it just felt that this was going beyond that. Maybe I misunderstood in which case I'm sorry. Anyway, back to the game.

[Russia (DoC)]

i say we stay on the turn table we have been using.

edit: also, I'm just giving the reasons for why I consider those lands such a priority...

[Byzantium (DoC)]

So my conclusion is: it's role playing for Russia. Byzantium has to deal with that.

I know I will just be ignored again but can we go back to 11hr clock. Not fighting is going on and will at this pace not happen for some time.

Russia has all the right to hunt you till the end of the game for what you did in-game.
It's up to you if you want to live with that, or give up something to gain peace in return

Russia would most probably also have hunted me down for the rest of the game for what I have done to it, that's why I decided to pay them a huge price. And still I'm looking over my shoulder every turn

I had only 3 outdated armies near the battle

Hey, that's actually the truth!

You should hear what your neighbours say about you when you aren't listening.

If my neighbours consider themselves vassals of me, that's up to them. They don't do that in communications with me though. (a bit weird, communicate to other nations that they are vassals, but no to their supposed master, what's there to gain?)
But anyway, I don't consider them to be vassals. They can do whatever they want.

And of course Byzantium is right, Russia should not focus his entire game to chase a dream he has lost. Well, he can if he wants, but I wonder if that'll serve him best. I get the idea that it's all In-character play of Russia, not OOC whining.

But Russia has alternatives and I have already offered one to Russia.
So my conclusion is: it's role playing for Russia. Byzantium has to deal with that.

[Orb (DoC)]

Well Russia might not be the nicest nation but they sure have a strong will.

[Russia (DoC)]

well, as I said, the ONLY place to expand is there. so I'll fight for it until I win or am exterminated. which fits the current Russian character 100%. if you're not willing to deal with that feel free to evacuate.

[Korea (DoC)]

yes well done to anyone getting so many cities. well palyed..

but as india has shown it not just city numbers that is important

city numbers just makes up for any lack in other civ areas.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

here's the complete an unabridged truth of the matter.

I was planning on settling 4 cities on that peninsula. because of the settlements of byzantium I could only settle 2. after the britannians settled on the north side, the one city I have there is the only city I can have there. I HAD to remove that byzantine city so I could put my two cities in, bringing my total up to a pathetic 8, 3 of which would be on crappy frozen lands. persia had nothing to do with it. that is the truth. I did ask them to send a delegation to help if things went to hell, which they did. it should have been a fast assault, chase byzantine off the continent, settle my 2 cities. end of story.

but because of byzantiums stubborness, I've now had to call in help from other nations. persia, ottoman (and others) have now decided actively help me. and dominika and I agree in this, I will NOT stop until that city is destroyed and my 2 cities settled. now you can fight me all you want, but I've decided to spend the rest of the game making sure I get that frozen piece of land. you worry about india and england? give me what I want and use your army against a real threat...

On please cut the whinning its pathetic.

You had great plans to found 4 cities in a particular patch, but found that in fact others also wanted to found cities there, so you had to compromise. We have all done that everythere. We all scout out nice pieces of land in the early days and dream nice dreams, and find we can't have everything we drempt of.

And cut the crap on the number of cities. Persia has many more cities than anyone else. Persia's 15 is the reason you and others have little space. I don't blame Persia - its a game - they have played well, intimidated their neighbours and spawned settlers well. If its actually about number of cities in some OOC way why don't you complain abou the people who actually have far more than me, and comment on all the nations who have fewer than you?

but I've decided to spend the rest of the game making sure I get that frozen piece of land.

What a great attitude to playing a game. "You've messed up my plans so I'm going to annoy you for months". Cheers


(India I see the point in your maps - at least if someone was mapping it out on the basis they were going to settle the whole thing and wanted to maximise resources. In fact as you said I didn't have the complete map when I settled, and there was never an intention to settle more that one city to secure my northern coast - hence the location of Rhodes immediatley across the shortest channel from Nicaea)

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Byzantines please take your turn!!!!!!!

Taking it now - sorry but there are places I can post on here from that I can't take a turn, and I couldn't take it earlier because I was waiting for Dominika to play.

[Orb (DoC)]

That is an old map It doesn't include my norther city.
