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

[Rasputin]

Who is Persia then??? I want to know.

well to know how i voted it has to be the person who designed the voting.

if it is not him then our secret voting is even less secret as more than warning knows how we voted.

[Orb (DoC)]

Who on earth has a population of 8000? Nobody has a score low enough for that and it also implies zero growth from Turn 1.

What are you taking about??

[Inca (DoC)]

Don't lie - we all know you are the Russians and you can't have invaded yourself can you!

Oh yes I could! Give me enough vodka and you'd be amazed.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Don't listen to him! It's me!

Don't lie - we all know you are the Russians and you can't have invaded yourself can you!

totaly my point. and seeing it is open to the individual as to what he is valuing it is only appropiate that we all actually post what we are going to be looking for to give votes.

i have stated my story post basis for point

for diplomacy votes i want to see people who are actively negotiating with others, not enforcing their military weight on people.

for attitude, i am looking for people to be active in posting and answering questions and concerns wuickly when raised in the org thread..

so if you looking for my vote that how you getit.

Now how do i get votes from others ????

I can see no problems here.

Diplomacy is impossible to judge with a Civ you have never met. They may be brilliant but how do I really know? War may be 'diplomacy by other means' but that does not account for the basis of that war.

Stories are difficult as being totally subjective. You, amongst others, hated IncaSpeak and will mark me down for it. It was only a form of role-playing that proved to be unpopular.

Attitude is even harder as there are so many ways to interpret it. You thought I was mocking you personally with IncaSpeak but I wasn't. Nobody has been nasty, OOG, to anyone so all will deserve at least 4.

not enforcing their military weight on people.

war is only an extension to diplomacy
I understand that I got little points from you for diplomacy b/c I used my 'military weight'. I think you miss the point about what's diplomacy is about. Diplomacy without using your military (weight or weakness) is no diplomacy, it's chitchat.

Of course I use my weight, like other civs may use their weakness (and call other civs into the war). That's how it works. Diplomacy is using ones weakness and strengths in such a way on the negotiable table that it benefits him most.
And just gaining a city is not all, you should also gain trust and friendship. One can win cities and lose secure borders.
ie. I think that with Russia I made both friends, gained a city, and got a secured border. All using my military weight. (and being reasonable, trying to not hurt Russia too much and even trying to help them).

Your way of diplomacy makes a pretty boring game



You want to know how I vote?
I'm sorry, I do not have such a detailed system like you do!

- stories: write good stories that entertain me and show that you care about it. (Surprise me!!)

- diplo: talk with other civs in such a way that it benefits your civ most.

- attitude: have a positive game attitude. Example, I gave a '7' to Russia b/c he kept talking and negotiating, and even more important; gaming and in character, when I attacked him.

[Rasputin]

The entire reason we are voting, is so everyone can make up their own mind on what is worth what to whom. Otherwise we could just calculate eachother's points based on character count in posts and/or the amount of pictures.

as far as I am concerned, vote as you want, on the criteria you choose yourself.
