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

[Robert]

B/c there's now peace (at least unofficially) between India and it's enemies, the turn timer is back to 12 hours from next turn on.

The game will most probably end somewhere during the next 15 turns. So it'll take us another 8 days. Let's go for it and end it in style. All take this time to wrap up the stories for your civ!

We can do two things:
1. Delay rating/voting till the game is over
2. Vote for March and then vote for the +- 7 days of April
or
3. Vote for March and then when the game is over vote for April/the entire game.

Advantage of #1 is that it's easier.

Advantage of #2 is that it's according to the rules, we do justice to both March and April

Advantage of #3 Is that we do justice to both March and April, but b/c of the limited duration of April (most probably), we can all evaluate the entire game as well a bit and cobine a April/Game wrap-up rating.

Please all give your favourite asap, We'll then just go with the majority.
All enjoy ending this game!!

i am not sure this is good to have 2 civ played by same player as long term way. This player is also sub for greece not original player. Are they another civ as well? is original greece returning?

It's not good indeed.
That's why I asked Greece to chose between Greece or Korea and then ask Ozzy to take over the other civ.
But since we now are that close to the end of the game I wonder if we should make a big deal out of it.

#1 works for me.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

I'd go for 2.

Who knows what might happen in the next turns - predictions of the end of the world are easily made and don't always happen (no offence to Jehovah Witnesses). And I think a 'wrap up' vote would be distorting, because after such a long time our memory is selective while the good thing about the way we have done the votes is that each month counts the same, even if we now no longer remember it.

But not something to have a row about either way.

[India (DoC)]

#2

Since we cannot be sure when the game will really end (though I hinted To Robert what to expect) we just have to go on as before. If the last month happens to be very short we can talk about whether we should vote on it or not.

[Persia (DoC)]

I also go for #2
The past has already been rated, the future not yet.

[Robert]

from next turn on ren techs can freely be traded

[India (DoC)]

I've just accepted some free trade offers..and the rules doesn't say anything about waiting, still waited one day as you asked, but it was over.

[Robert]

I thought it was 2 turns, doesn't matter much.
Yeah the rules don't state it. It was just an unofficial attempt to make it a bit more fair

it's ok.

[India (DoC)]

Because you forgot that 1 on 1 trades no longer necessary. Now I gave a tech to someone without getting anything, how unfair is that to anyone? (Also did a one on one trade but those tech still can be given away without getting anything for it.)
Don't suggest that anything unfair thing happened, it could have been if the 1 for 1 rule would still in place but it's not.

[Robert]

No need to argue
I never intended to suggest that you did something unfair.
I only tried to explain my reasoning behind the 'wait 2 turns' call, which was indeed unofficial. I just tried to give people a chance to negotiate deals instead of a 'first the best' approach. I think his worked well. (I did negotiate my deals). That you're a tad bit earlier doesn't matter at all here.

And the fact that I had forgotten about dropping the 1 on 1 requirement certainly had no impact at all, apart from showing my incapability to remember things
And only guilty minds could read an accusation in that post of me above yours

Friends again, or will you sue me now

[India (DoC)]

I don't accuse you with accusation.. or should I?

[Greece (DoC)]

I don't accuse you with accusation.. or should I?

Nothing worse than being accused with accusation...

[Hercules]

Vote #2

[Inca (DoC)]

I vote 3.

Is so easy saying game is over in 1 week i think it is not true. Indians can no way win culture as no time left for the last city to be ledgendry. India win domination only with kill of mali on continent and vassel plus vassel inca egypt plus maybe persians. i think space race has not begun and english lead score.

Game will last more than 1 week if english fight and byzantine are still big. Only korea is murdered as persia does not lose land. Natives get very large as well.

I think it is just silly thing to give up when a game is still fun. Even if spce race starts espianage still can harm things.
