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

[England (DoC)]

Votes casted

[India (DoC)]

it was a bit messy.. after pause it seems we have reloaded the previous turn, but no one asked for it. Anyway it doesnt matter now.
And what is this 'non-voting' lazyness?? ..

[Inca (DoC)]

Starnge thing as says so on civstats but not when i log in. Mistake with civstats only I think.

[Korea (DoC)]

you lost points ? how ?

[Inca (DoC)]

I lose points and turn as well

[Russia (DoC)]

now I lost a turn? wtf!

Rating time is over.
WarningU2 told me that England, Greece, Persia and Rome did not vote.

According to the rules a penalty is in place.
In the "Diplo Score Mechanism" section (see #1 post of this thread) it says:

"Every civ casts his ratings in the first week of the month.
If a civ fails to cast his votes 4 points per category will be substracted."

If any of these 4 civs casts it's ratings within the next 24 hours I suggest we lower the penalty to 2 points per category. If not then they'll receive the complete 4 points penalty per category.

I'm sorry, but we must start to enforce the rules otherwise it'll never work.
Last month we gave some slack to the non-voters, and in the end everyone voted.
This month I suggest this 1 time 50% slack for those who vote in the next 24h.
From next month on we make it the full 100% penalty.

Many thanks Robert for sorting that - and again to everyone for putting up with the pause.

Now I see, it was Russia's 2nd login.
I'm starting the game now. Start trying from now on to avoid missing valuable seconds

edit: Game is back on
edit2: Wrong save. Now the right one is up.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

I think that the implication of Russia's (1103) is that he is happy if you restart it from when Russia entered the game five minutes before last turn was to end. I think you said you had a save from then. Presumbly in those five minutes he wasn't doing anything but just waiting for the turn to flip.

[Robert]

Now we need to hear from Russia

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Yes - ready to log in and play fast

[Robert]

ok, I"m here, if both Russia and Byzantium are here we can do the thing.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

I guess RP isn't around; I'm sure he will be soon.

[Russia (DoC)]

could we please put the game back up? pause it and let byzants do their turn so we can go on. We've been on hold the whole weekend...
