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

[OzzyKP]

I'm not sure who peed in your cornflakes Ozzy but how would you know what I've done to bring myself up to speed?

I've replied to RP and I've tried to log in to the game yesterday and today to resume.

I was in contact with RP yesterday and today and I don't know what you'd like to me to do to get myself more "involved".

As someone who hasn't been a regular in this game and seen me play my turns for the last 4 months it's laughable to think you're in a position to comment on my involvement in this game.

Considering I'm not a regular and considering this war doesn't even involve me it is a shame I seem to know far more about what is going on.

Well i know one thing that waiting 72hrs to resume the game is starting to hurt the game's momentum.

I've replied to RP and I've tried to log in to the game yesterday and today to resume.

You should not have tried to log in untill Russia moved.

[India (DoC)]

And the game has been paused again. Waiting for the Ottomans now.

ok.. this I don't get.. Have the Russians moved already? (according to civstats they haven't-but then they should move, not the Ottomans)

[Robert]

All please stay calm.
No fingerpointing please. (some of us have the time to deal with the game once per day. That's totally acceptable, especially since we started this game with a 24h timer promise, and are on a 12h timer now, and these players accept that without complaining!)

Ottomans have responded to me and are indeed ok with the situation.
We now only need to appoint a good sub for Arabia.
In the meanwhile I will continue the game now. I don't think it'll break the game if the Ottomans sub 1 turn more for the Arabs or not.

Please don't comment or ask in public about the sub-thing. Some things should not be answered. (ie.: if 'you' can sub for Arabia. A 'no' answer can reveal too much already).

Despite the fact that the Ottomans agreed with a 'no reload but continue as is' solution, I think it's better to proceed from the reload I started yesterday. Especially b/c that gives us a 24h turn now.

Game's up. Turn: 1365; NOBODY moved yet this turn. 22h on the clock

[Robert]

ok.. this I don't get.. Have the Russians moved already? (according to civstats they haven't-but then they should move, not the Ottomans)

I first wanted all parties to be ok with the situation we are in.
I'm sorry if I choose to delay for that reason, but I've learned that it's better to be save then sorry here.

[Robert]

For the record, the pm I received from the Ottomans last night while I was peacefully at sleep

Thanks for the clear email, yes it it quite a shock but that's OK, it's part of the game.

To your questions in red;

1- His ships were in striking distance and I will choose to believe that he is playing fairly.
2- I will take your reccomendation and therefore no, I do not request a reload
3- [RMP: sub question related answer, comes down on something like: "I understand and accept the need for another sub for Arabia. Who is acceptable?

Thanks to both Russia and Ottomans to deal with this issue that good.

[India (DoC)]

We must reload again! my missionary which succeed last time now failed grrr..
what a tragedy!!



ah nevermind

[Robert]

An indian-style missionary or a real-style missionary?

[India (DoC)]

what is "indian style" missionary?
(there is a 10% -per religion present in the city already- chance that spreading a new faith will fail.. I have lost 3 missionaries already out of 7-8..)

[Russia (DoC)]

wait wait what? What has been done? we have reloaded? I am not at war with ottoman? or are we at war? did he move in 1360?


edit: i logged in and did the war. the city of Mehmed was burned this time.

[Robert]

1360 reloaded, you did not move 1360, so you're first in 1365 now.
Well, you noticed, and you did the right thing. (game order wise). Not sure if the Ottomans agree ic wise of course.

[OzzyKP]

We now only need to appoint a good sub for Arabia.
In the meanwhile I will continue the game now. I don't think it'll break the game if the Ottomans sub 1 turn more for the Arabs or not.

Please don't comment or ask in public about the sub-thing. Some things should not be answered. (ie.: if 'you' can sub for Arabia. A 'no' answer can reveal too much already).

Considering I'm not terribly anonymous and am semi-permanent sub guy, I think there wouldn't be any harm in responding to this in public.

It seems the permanent player for Rome has returned. I have brought him up to speed on Rome and am ready for my next assignment. So assuming Rome is able to handle 100% of the turn playing responsibilities, I can make a full switch to Arabia.

[Robert]

Excellent news!
I agree that you are then indeed the best possible sub for Arabia.
I don't know the password, but I'll send it your way as soon as I know. (or the ottomans will)

[Russia (DoC)]

i would prefer if someone else played arabia...
