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

[Robert]

It is possible to speed the clock up, but yesterday that also caused all kinds of problems.

Is it possible to speed up the clock some?

(re-logged in to do a tech deal and check some details. no troops were moved)

I'm all for any score sheet that i'm not dead last on

[St Jon]

Good propoganda, but the big colourful graphs from the Wizrd Plomp are more easier to follow

Your list of scores is irrelevant !!!

Please don't write off the Indian score sheet as it is what the game is about. You do not have to be ultra-high on the PowerGraph to still take a meaningful part in the game.

Having said that, you do still need to try in the game itself or you will run out of things to write stories about. You cannot just condemn the rest of us for not taking on any of the big boys when you don't try yourself. Go get one of the big boys if you wish but I doubt that if you knew just how big even number four was you would think to do it without the aid of one of the others.

What are you talking about? Russia is doing it right, let's kill Byzantine before it's too late (don't forget we need complete kill or else they just get more story material )

or just really forget about the scores :P

Played turn and logged out. Over to you Russia.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Thanks

[Robert]

Oops, we posted about at the same time, I hadn't seen it yet.
I have unpaused the game. Good luck.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

No - read my post - I can't unpause it - I haven't finished my turn - I haven't been able to play it. Please just unpause it!

[Robert]

Bynzatium: if you end your turn, the turn will proceed!
You forgot to!

[Robert]

Ok, I'm home again.
It seems like Byzantium has just played his turn. The game is most probably unpaused now.

I have placed a 21h timer now.
Last week like 80% of the turns were finished in less then 12 hours, so I believe that even with a longer turn timer we'll still have short turns, but it'll ensure us that both warring parties can play their turn.

Thanks to all for cooperation.
Russia, please read the posts here before acting
I asked to pause the game but you did not. Not a problem, it's solved b/c of Persia (Thanks!) but it would have saved me some gray hairs if you would just have done it

(I was checking civstats on my cellphone all the time while following a college )

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Guys - I have a problem!

My keyboard doesn't have a PAUSE button on it (can you believe it?). So I can't unpause the game which Persian kindly paused.

I am around now. So unless someone can tell me a clever key combination which has the same effect as Pause can someone log in and unpause it?

Thanks

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Hi Russia,

Yes we go to a turn order, and use pauses if necessary to ensure that each person does get to play their turn. Either of us can request to move to 24 hrs - a bit more of a pain for everyone else if we do, but either way experience from past has shown its far better to stick to a turn order even if it makes for some delays, rather than get into arguments about double moves.

Yesterday I posted:

Russia has declared war on Byzantium.

In 355 AD, Russia moved first (declaring war) and Byzantium second.
In previous turn, the order was Russia then Byzantium, so no problems there.

So from now on the order should be Russia first then Byzantium.

According to the rules we should swap now to a 24 hr turn. I would be happy to try to keep going as we are.

Hope you agree with this.

Just going to play my turn now (which will mean you can't log in again until the turn flips, just as I couldn't log in befre you had played)

[Russia (DoC)]

do we pause so both war parties get to take their turn?
is there a turn order?
