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

[India (DoC)]

anyway.. i can unpause it now for Mali

[Pinchak]

You realize this is karma for not letting me in the game.

[India (DoC)]

very likely as I've sent a diplo msg to them

we should try what I wrote b4:
try pressing the pause/break button during initalization or map setup phase, only once. someone suggested that it is possible to unpause the game before the diplo msg pops up.

[Robert]

Looks like Mali now has a login problem.
Most probably can't unpause the game.

[India (DoC)]

ok I'll do it

game's been paused

[Korea (DoC)]

Damn time zone differences

[Robert]

Ok, game's up now. please somebody game-pause it. (India?)

[Russia (DoC)]

can't we just pause it!

[India (DoC)]

We were at the very same point yesterday... no progress in 24 h...
The game should not be disconnected, do a normal pause. If someone cannot unpause then he should ask someone to do it for him.
(I can pause it now, if you don't want to blow your identity )

ah.. btw nvm.. just saw you write something similar.. but still next time we should avoid disconnecting the game

[Robert]

Since the Ottomans didn't play for an hour, I assume they're not ready. Game down again.

And b/c Russia prefers no turn order switch, we're back to waiting for his feedback.
I'll just start the game at 00:00am my time and ask one of you guys to pause it.

Somewhere between 00:00am and 05:00am my time ( 3:40 - 8:40 from now) Ottoman said he would be available, but since there's only 2h left on the timer, the game must be paused then.

[Russia (DoC)]

I would prefer it if we did not change the turn order for the war...

Cause it does give Ottoman a free move. Or rather, a free heal for his troops... By skipping a turn his soldiers automatically heal up and are then ready to be used, fresh on the next turn when he is suddenly first.

[Toni]

Thanks for putting the game up again Robert.

[Robert]

Game's up. 2 hours on the clock.

[Robert]

Ottoman, please be specific.
From this message I can't understand if you are now available or not.
And it's a general answer for everyday, but how is it today?
Please don't expect me to learn the play window of all players by heart.

Put yourself into my shoes and think if you would understand what to do now if you were me. I still don't.
I'll just put the game up and I'll see if you can play. Otherwise I'll pause it again.

[Ottoman Empire (DoC)]

RP I pmed you but it basically said I can occasionally play a turn at this time but regularly the window is 5 - 10 hrs from now.
