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

[India (DoC)]

Exactly, which is why the followers of the hairy hog need to be encouraged to convert to the truth faith. :-)

They will be..,They will be.. (along with everyone else )

[Byzantium (DoC)]

considering what crazy things we can expect from the followers of a crazy religion

Those who wrote those religious stories are the most active posters anyway and as it was said they write about ingame events as well. I'm more concerned about those who don't post anything or just 1-2 posts per month. Come on.. be more active, it's fun

Btw I like that the game has strong religious aspects so far. People did crazy things in the past in the name of their Gods, it can make the game more interesting.. considering what crazy things we can expect from the followers of a crazy religion

At this time nothing much is happening either to me or around me in DoC. I have done nothing wondrous or beaten off huge Barbarian Invasions so what would you have me write?

Any that know me from BtP must know that I am not a lazy poster but I refuse to sing the praises of my first Library as World-breaking news. All I can do is try to make up a few little tales so the World does not forget my Civ even exists. Price you pay for being a long way away from the action!

[St Jon]

(not to mention that we should try to finish this game before the 96 year old St Jon is not among us anymore and one of his 3 18 year old playmates has to take over)

Don't mock your elders or impugn their honour young man! I may be 96 but still in surprisingly good health which goes to show what healthy regular exercise does for you.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

In the last week I have had a major crisis with both my closest neighbours - first the Egyptians where we both had settlers rushing to the same spot, and I got there one turn ahead, which nearly caused a conflict (and who knows maybe the Eygptians are sharpening their chariot wheels this very moment). And more recently with the English who accused me of using our open borders treaty and missionaries to spy out their land, and so closed borders ejecting the missionaries with much bad feeling on both sides, but it has been resolved and we are back on (I hope :-) ) So there are certainly in-game stories coming from Byzantium.

[Russia (DoC)]

and has laid the basis for religious development in Persia, Russia and Britannia. (sorry for hi-jacking HairHastogianism, but you seemed to not be using it)

[Persia (DoC)]

I have posted about the barbarian invasion of my northern cities.
I have posted in detail how my armies moved from city 1 to city 2 for protection.
How then a 2nd barbarian invasion was about to seize my now undefended city 1, and how a scout distracted the barbarians to bring my defense from city 3 to city 1 in time.

This event effected my relations with Russia and Britannia b/c it started the sacrificing of the youngsters which caused mixed reactions from my neighbors, which I had to solve diplomatically.

I'm not making fun of you, I'm death serious.
Your "let the lower civs get techs for free" suggestion is factually some kind of communism. Why would the better civs nivest in new techs if they'd better invest in other stuff and get the techs for free?
Then nobody will advance to new techs and the entire game will not advance. = communism.

And for the record, the GFC shows that everything is imperfect, including capitalism.
But as far as I'm aware capitalism brought us a very lot. Even the small drop we're currently experiencing is not going to change that.

[Rasputin]

just out of interst is anyone actually doing anything in game, all the latest posts in storys are not game related at all. all about people going t oheafvne coming back from heaven. going to hell. etc etc.

please let me know what is happening in your posts....

not much to vote for this month.

[Rasputin]

Communism has not worked out in anywhere, I don't expect it to work at this game

neither has capitalism.... remember the GFC ?


I think this will be my last civ game ( cheers from everyone i can hear it)

I cant compete and when ever i suggest ways of making it fun for the less skilled the smarter ones just make fun of us.

so i will complete this one, but alas civ is not for me.

[Rasputin]

We're on an 11h timer (effectively about 11.5 - 12h per turn)

tis all good

i am on 24hr turn clock

unfortuanly i have a life and work to do deal with inbetween turns.

[Russia (DoC)]

Are we on a 19 hour turn timer? (according to civstats) most turns there's nothing going on, couldn't we say 10-12?

Yes you can vote for yourself but the results will be zeroed out when tabulated.

The reason for the change is that when I download the results from the individual voting forms all the results are offset by 3 (as your vote is excluded). I have to manually shift the votes over so that Russia's vote for instance doesn't become Rome's. With putting 4's in the results it aligns everything properly. In addition, by having one voting form and one html page its much easier to change and support this.

To ensure you are voting as your CIV please enter your password that you use to enter the voting panel (the same password as before). Votes that do not have your password are invalid.

I fixed the email field so it is now optional again.

voted, a few observations:

1, It seems I can vote on myself

2, email address seemed to be mandatory instead of optional
