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

[LzPrst]

since when has persia has any powerful neighbours?

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Yes waiting for England to play his turn - and sorry Dubhghlas I keep the naked women for myself

[Ottoman Empire (DoC)]

Game's down right?

I haven't been able to connect last 2 days...

[Dubhghlas]

@ Byzantium: I was disappointed by the recent BBC report on the war with England. I would have thought at least ONE half-naked woman might have made it into the report, given the excellent example set by the Egyptian Sun-Times.

It was about time that you started to battle your powerful neighbour, I have already battled my powerful neighbour 3 times! But honestly, I'm glad that you're doing it!

Did you ever hear the one about the tortoise and the hair?

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Yes but some of us didn't fail. I think you might have noticed that Byzantium has just conquered is massively more powerful neighbour, while Persia has ... oh ... gone nowhere.

[Persia (DoC)]

As I am sure the professor of history in contantinople will soon point out - the summary of Persia/Iran is "tried to be very clever but failed!"

Better to fail as a King then to fail as a pawn

I'll pause (bring down) the game

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Guys - I am at war with England, as we all know. England stll hasn't played this turn, and there is just two hours on the clock. England said on here a while back that he accepted my peace terms, but in game he hasn't played a turn after my invasion so nothing has happened about peace. I think this means we really have to consider we are at war, and therefore unless Engalnd logs in in the next two hours we have to pause?

Maybe we don't - maybe RP knows what is going on - really raising the question so we don't not notice that England hasn't played yet.

I might add something to the story IC, I just want to tell now that metagaming had an unavoidable effect on these plottings. (For example while signing a defensive pact with Persia normaly could calm me down, I fully expected it's just a trick..as a matter of fact for the sake of the game I hoped it is - so in the end I continued to send my forces to New India and continued slaving the cities there (it was before the first Indian-Persian war)

The second war was such a bad luck for Persia though.. I've started to evacuate New India, even asked for some transports, but the allied attack came too early I couldnt move out most of my troops, even those on route turned back. Those that stayed have waited the destructions by the huge Perisan army.. but ..not only they failed to take my city in a turn they suffered huge losses.. next turn I reinforced the city with fresh troops arriving back, moved the bombers, would had started to airlift my tanks..the whole Persian army was about to be destroyed with minimal or no Indian losses.. there could had been retreat for them..
and all this after we almost signed a peace by me giving up 4 smaller cities to Persia.. I already put 3 of the 4 into the open diplo tab next to the peace offer, but while i was sure I would lose the best cities, including the capital over there, I just did not want to "lose" a big enemy.. it's a prestige after all

[England (DoC)]

Hey one thing is sure you are getting max story points (Sadly we have no points for efford, you would have gotten max there too.)

[England (DoC)]

Yes it was a bit over the top

Of course I will let you have your day, you wanted it so much it seems.

***** Persia lost the attack against all odds. Must have been divine intervention.

Karma is a bit.ch isn't it

[Persia (DoC)]

If anybody needs a cold turkey break after reading my last story pots, don't hesitate to ask it
I'll try to roleplay an honest civ next game!

and I do realise that many of you will claim that the claims are over the top, well, I have of course spiced it up a bit, but in the end this is how it worked (and failed).
If you disagree I suggest you to launch an IC truth commission yourself and release the findings of that commission in character

Now I'm going to take a hot bath.
That story post was the post that needed the most preparations for any post I made ever.
