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

[Byzantium (DoC)]

For the good of the game and because i like our host too much please load it up.

Britain is ready to accept its new destiny. I only ask that we reduce back the timer to 11hrs. I will sign a ceasefire with the noble Byzantines.

Thank you for, on reflection, accepting this change of fortune. Not easy I know.

And I have logged in now and checked and notihng was lost by the server crash so I have ended turn. (If people notice a jump in score that was because in the meantime i had been offered a ren. tech trade).

As by the rules: this is being handled with PM's and not in public.
I'm going to remove all these comments (won't delete them but store them elsewhere) while we try to find a solution behind the scenes.

New posts about this subject WILL be deleted though!

It's also against the rules to argue when I'm sick and sleeping so that I can't intervene you're all guilty for that

Can those of us in the dark be enlightened? I have no idea what's going on.

[England (DoC)]

Oh well what can you do, one day you are on top next you fall, a True Empire Tale

[Robert]

That is AWESOME news!! (the part that you like the host too much! )




Also very cool that you want to continue the game!! Thanks a lot!

Game's up.
Byzantium still has to finish his turn first!

Take your tea party somewhere else Pinchak
I think everyone should just chill out, no need to swap civs for that

[Pinchak]

If people swapped civs then they'd have an attachment to the *game* not their civ. That'd make it more enjoyable for everyone.

Sounds like something Obama would say.

A fine traditional view - I would like to give Ozzy's serial monogamy a go

[Robert]

Attachments come with pain and with joy, for me the joy (fun) outweights the incidental pain by far.
I'm attached to my wife, should I stay away from her because one day I may mourn her because I lost her?

[OzzyKP]

This is why we need to play succession, so people don't have a 6 month attachment to a civ. Things always blow up OOC because people have OOC attachments to their civs that go beyond just enjoying a game. If people swapped civs then they'd have an attachment to the *game* not their civ. That'd make it more enjoyable for everyone.

That was part of the reasoning behind going anonymous, but anon doesn't really work. All the main people get figured out in the first month or two of the game anyhow.

None of the messages posted above have been hard-deleted. All can be returned with one click.
Please all hate me for doing that, aim your hate at me and make me your common enemy, that may help

Anyway, I have just sent a draft of conclusions to England and I'm waiting for his response (in private). All just calm down, it's only a game (yeah, sure!). And it's been a wonderful game so far. If we can't finish this one properly (!) then we can never finish one.

[Robert]

Oh, and for the record: of course we'll finish this game.
We're close till the end and we're not going to be stop it b/c of an incident.

Arabia and Ottomans were also able to continue playing. It would not be fair towards them if we stop now because it involved bigger powers.
We only have to decide on HOW we will continue.
