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

[Robert]

from next turn on ren techs can freely be traded

[Persia (DoC)]

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

[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.

[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.

[Orb (DoC)]

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!!

#1 works for me.

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.

Guys, you know how it is for Korea DoC in RL.

Just let it go for a bit and I hope he'll be back.

Stay tuned... his contribution has been so phenomenal.

Please return Korea DoC.

[Rome (DoC)]

@Pinchak: this one won't take long anymore. But we're going to finish it

[Inca (DoC)]

[Orb (DoC)]

I say you guys hang this up and start the next one.

I now have SnagIt, Photoshop, and The Complete National Geographic at my disposal for story posting bliss.

Dont worry. This game will be done as soon as I come out of hiding .

and with this the game is over. \\

i predicted and indian ingame win many many months ago, in fact almost at atart of game, i also prdicted a close finsih between byz and persian in the voting game


seeing i was right so long ago and nothing changed i have lost all interest in this game

menander will continue to play turns as he has for a long time

this is my final post on this game

i was promised if i stayed in game that the outcome would be different, well it wasnt.

civ4 game mechanics mean it impossible almost to change

thanks for the game loved positng.

now it done to menander and toni

Korea, I'm sorry you feel this way. Many of us are planning to enjoy the ride to the end, regardless of outcome. I hope you will join us. Also, it is great that you have the gift of prophecy. I hope you are using it for good and not evil.

Honestly, I think the current situation for Raz is the best for him. He gets to post stories, which we all know he loves to do. He has admitted to being a weaker player, so with someone else making the moves for him, he is getting the best of both worlds. Hopefully he is learning more on the game as he watches the moves and has fun posting stories. Raz, you might consider a tag-team effort for every dilpogame.

[Egypt (DoC)]

Yes, please return Korea, your contribution was excellent
