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

[Persia (DoC)]

Thanks Guys!

Congrats to Byzantium for being the best diplomat!
Congrats to Russia for the best game attitude!
And once again congrats to India for being the best player!

And also thanks to Byzantium for the exciting end-battle!
I'm glad the game is over, India is steaming up... 2 more months... (maybe he should have delayed his cultural victory.... )

Oh, and I wanna be in DoE as well!!!!!

[Egypt (DoC)]

Congratulations RP! You deserved it
And lots and lots and lots of thanks to you and warningU2 for all the work you did!!!!!!!!

[Byzantium (DoC)]

I have been intrigued to see what the results would look like if game score didn't contribute at all. Were some players completely scuppered because of their in game position, when their vote-worthy activity was brilliant?

To my surprise, unless I have done the figures wrong, that doesn't seem to be the case.

The results if in-game score is excluded are:

1 Persia
2 Byzantine
3 Russia
4 India
5 England
6 Egypt
7 Inca
8 Native
9 Britannia
10 Korea
11 Rome
12 Ottoman
13 Greece
14 Arabs
15 Mali

which is certainly not the same as real results, but is actually surprisingly similar.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Yes - well done Persia/Robert - a worth winner of Dance of Civilisation!

I really hope you don't feel any embarrassment about winning when you were the host. This was completely earned, even if you should also get doubt points for all your work of hosting.

And last but not least: all stats / originals are available at google docs:

the "Warning Original" docs are the results as I have received them from WarningU2. (for month 1 and month 6 you all PM'ed your rates to me, so those files are missing. You just have to compare your votes with your sent-box on apolyton)
The 'calculation docs' are the ones in which you can see all calculations I made.

since I am a human being working with thousands of numbers, there are SURELY errors! Please don't hesitate to check all you want and PM me if I made mistakes, or post it here on the forum.

Thanks to WarningU2 for his enourmous help with the rating system!!!

And thanks to all for this wonderful game!!
I'll setup a setup doc for a new game in a couple of days. First I need a few days off

Hard voting on such a small amount of material, but tried to be fair.

Played Greece and Korea so left both of these at 4's. Raz was not Korea DoC as I posted for Korea.

7 story telling for Native Americans April Fool's Joke. I think that got everyone.

Great contributions in the final days. Russia excellent story telling. Persia great ending. Egypt fun 'Sun'. India's twist. Inca/Peru's flourish and Byzantiums BBC, copy.

"Arabs: Attitude 7 (playing till the end despite position), no stories (2) and neutral diplomacy (4)
Greece: Attitude 6 (playing till the end), neutral diplo (4), no stories (2)
Natives: Att: 6 (playing till end), story: 7 (april fools!!), Diplo: 6 (ongoing stuff during great war)
Byz: Attitude: 7 (gentleman during ooc conflict), story: 7 (many and good), diplo: 3 (alienated friends in end game and isolated Byzantium)
Inca: Atti: 7 (playing till end despite horrible results of Great War and bad position in game), story: 5 (Incan overview), diplo: 7 (getting paid for events of Great War)
Ottomans: 6 (playing till end), story: 2 (no stories), diplo: 5 (Hascon diplomacy)
Orb: 6/6/6 (diplo: behind scenes Hascon diplo in end game, story: end of Kane, atti: playing till end)
India: Story 7 (great and unexpected wrapup), diplo: 6 (establish good after-war diplo relations), atti: 7 (as usual a great in-game winner)
Egypt: Diplo neutral (4), Story 7 (great last episode of the Sun), atti: 7 (playing and participating lively till the end despite bad position)
Korea: Story: 6 (nice twist to 'overheard conversation' in story thread!), Atti: 1 (leaving game after losing war), diplo: 3 (bad after war-diplo relations, isolating Korea from about everybody)
Rome: atti: 6 (playing till the end despite position), Story: 6 (aquaduct photoshop), Diplo neutral (4)
England: diplo neutral (4), Story telling (6), some anti-byz propaganda, attitude: Not playing any turns after losing war (1)
Mali: diplo neutral (4), Story: none (2), Attitude: 6 (playing till end)
Russia: diplo 3 (failed to have diplo with Persia till horrible end), Story 6 (good, but not much), atti: 6 (playing till last month, despite misfortune, not a '7' because you didn't play the last couple of turns, making a good end game on Hascon impossible, despite the good setup)

Are you a reincarnation of Vampghlas from BtP?

I am a reincarnation of no one. I am myself, and have been around since, oh, wayyyyyyyyy back at the beginning of cIV. Just not actively.

[Egypt (DoC)]

WEll i wil lremvoe my poly login too if that makes you al lhappy,

Dude, haha, come on man, don't you see the extremely high playground content of that remark?
None of us thinks you should leave; we all just agree on the fact that we had boatloads of fun regardless of what happened with India! Shame you didn't, we know now, and thus diplogaming is, like RP says, probably not your thing, because you get worked up over it and take it too seriously. And there's nothing wrong with that, we all have our preferences, likes and dislikes. But your negative comments start to annoy other people who are having fun, and, correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt you feel it's a good thing to be negative and in the process make others miserable. None of us wants to see you go, but all of us I think would love to see you lighten up and try to be more easygoing

Destiny of Empires sounds interesting...I'm in (ie Rempedaalops is in)

[St Jon]

In.
