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

[Orb (DoC)]

You can't carve up a nation just because he isnt playing. Give the civ to someone who would contribute more but dont split up Greece for no real reason. I say if anything we boot out the current greek player and let Pinchak take over.

If you are who I think you are, I beat your ass once or twice in past games.

I do not mind the above said Ozzy at all, however that African colony was given by England to Greece to help them expand. So I would like to see it back in England's hands, so we can decide its faith again.

So....

I'm only a sub, I'm not terribly invested in this game, I don't know everyone's situation or everyone's plans for the future, so I don't want to muck things up too much, but....

I'm gonna suggest we muck things up.

From my semi-outsider's eyes, Greece is a virtual non-entity in this game. They have had zero posts in the January and December story threads. And only three in the November thread. In fact, out of the 22000+ posts here in the multi-month organizational thread, they've only posted 7 times.

They continue to miss far more turns than they play. They are not only last in game score, but about 100 points behind the next lowest civ (Arabs).

This has happened before. I suggest we do as we've done before and simply put this civ out of its misery for the good of the game.

It is fortunate also that two of the bottom civs in the game are neighbors of Greece - Rome & Arabia, who could each benefit from carving them up. More importantly, Greece, for some reason or another, has a cache of 4 great people just sitting around in its capitol.

So... I propose a bold and daring plan:

- Rome gets Greece's one African colony and one city bordering them, and one great person of their choice.
- Arabs get the rest of Greece's cities.
- Egypt gets 3 great people.

I think it is in everyone's interests to have these small, behind civs become more competitive. Since Greece doesn't seem to have their heart in this game anyhow, this seems like an optimal situation. I'd prefer the cities be gifted rather than captured since culture is going to be a huge problem for border cities. Greece has several culture buildings that could help offset Byzantine & English neighbors.

I seem to remember you being in the middle of the pack in score when I took over. Now look at you.

[OzzyKP]

I don't know I think Ozzy would distroy even India with Greece so I wouldn't want to mes with him.

[Orb (DoC)]

the carpathian action is probably the most iconic moment.

as for russia vs arabia. there is no contest. there's just that pesky little detail about the Ottomans...

Besides you shouldn't sleep on the Ottomans they are far from push overs.
