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

[Persia (DoC)]

I'm working on pausing the game now.
It'll be paused in a couple of seconds.

[Russia (DoC)]

persia is not at war as far as I understand.

question though. how do we play this? take turns?

[Robert]

I am not home. please somebody login and pause the game.

[Robert]

none. did you pause the game for persia? if not, please go in and pause the game now.

[Russia (DoC)]

sorry, trouble with the schedule. ready now...

how many turns did I lose? I kinda assumed we'd go to 24hr timer...

[Byzantium (DoC)]

The Persian diplomat rushes out onto hte battlefield before Rhodes. "Pause" he shouts. "Both of the generals are still in bed."

Thanks Persia. A good idea. Far better than reloads etc

[Persia (DoC)]

Robert isn't here, I have token the liberty to go into the game, make a save, and pause the game.

Russia can go in and press 'pause' to play his game.
Maybe it's best if Russia then pauses the game again to give Byzantium time to play his turn.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

I am not going to be able to play now for the next 6 hours. I've been around this morning but need to wait for Russia. Russia hasn't played (no criticism just fact) so I haven't been able to. Guess this is why we might need to move to 24 hours for war turns, though depends how much loading and pausing etc. RP is willing to do.

[Robert]

Ok guys, Russia has not played his turn yet and I'm leaving my home now.
I won't be back for 5 hours at least.
I'm going to make a save now, we can jump back to that save if Russia still did not play when I'm back.

Others who play after this message, you can save the game after you ended your turn and upload it here. I will then use you save instead of mine so that your turn won't be lost.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

we are here because you were commenting on an OOC joke post about taking bets!

[Persia (DoC)]

Hmmmm, now I see that this is not the story thread.
How did we end up doing this over here?

[Persia (DoC)]

Persia has not invaded or declared war on anybody.
The fact that we have not declared war on you shows our patience.
You have insulted us beyond the imaginable already.

The reason that we don't declare war is that there's nothing to gain for us.
Hastogianism teaches us to smash those away who are in our path.
You are not and therefore we have left you alone so far.

But Hastogianism also teaches us that we should destroy those who insult us.
You are therefore warned.
Now leave Hascon. This is not your continent.
Ask Russia for a fair compensation for your city and we can end this paranoia.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

So you haven't just invaded? I've been iching to log in and find out, but I can't until Russia plays his turn.

Its that Hastog propaganda - makes everyone assume you are going to get involved in every bit of blood you can find. But OK I'll take no more bets on Persia - in fact as the people with the ringside view, why don't you run the book.

Certainly don't want to give anyone "casus belly " - is that a Russian version of Delhi Belly?

[Persia (DoC)]

Persia - 5/4

Russia - 3/2

Byzantium - 3/1

Bananas - 100/1

Persia is not even involved in this war, still you try to manipulate others to believe we are.
Our army is small and only there for observation reasons.

If you continue to share these lies you push us into this war.
But perhaps that's after all what you want. A casus belly to draw your allies into this war.

Is that what you want? A world war?
If so, please speak out publicly so that we can prepare for war and have it!
I'm enjoying the idea of two continents collapsing at each other.

Hey! Votes are an OCC matter Me having a nice attitude shouldn't be taken out on Theodosius.

Not that the other score is in character or something
