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

[Robert]

For the record, the pm I received from the Ottomans last night while I was peacefully at sleep

Thanks for the clear email, yes it it quite a shock but that's OK, it's part of the game.

To your questions in red;

1- His ships were in striking distance and I will choose to believe that he is playing fairly.
2- I will take your reccomendation and therefore no, I do not request a reload
3- [RMP: sub question related answer, comes down on something like: "I understand and accept the need for another sub for Arabia. Who is acceptable?

Thanks to both Russia and Ottomans to deal with this issue that good.

[Robert]

ok.. this I don't get.. Have the Russians moved already? (according to civstats they haven't-but then they should move, not the Ottomans)

I first wanted all parties to be ok with the situation we are in.
I'm sorry if I choose to delay for that reason, but I've learned that it's better to be save then sorry here.

[Robert]

All please stay calm.
No fingerpointing please. (some of us have the time to deal with the game once per day. That's totally acceptable, especially since we started this game with a 24h timer promise, and are on a 12h timer now, and these players accept that without complaining!)

Ottomans have responded to me and are indeed ok with the situation.
We now only need to appoint a good sub for Arabia.
In the meanwhile I will continue the game now. I don't think it'll break the game if the Ottomans sub 1 turn more for the Arabs or not.

Please don't comment or ask in public about the sub-thing. Some things should not be answered. (ie.: if 'you' can sub for Arabia. A 'no' answer can reveal too much already).

Despite the fact that the Ottomans agreed with a 'no reload but continue as is' solution, I think it's better to proceed from the reload I started yesterday. Especially b/c that gives us a 24h turn now.

Game's up. Turn: 1365; NOBODY moved yet this turn. 22h on the clock

And the game has been paused again. Waiting for the Ottomans now.

I
I've replied to RP and I've tried to log in to the game yesterday and today to resume.

You should not have tried to log in untill Russia moved.

[Toni]

Well i know one thing that waiting 72hrs to resume the game is starting to hurt the game's momentum.

[OzzyKP]

I'm not sure who peed in your cornflakes Ozzy but how would you know what I've done to bring myself up to speed?

I've replied to RP and I've tried to log in to the game yesterday and today to resume.

I was in contact with RP yesterday and today and I don't know what you'd like to me to do to get myself more "involved".

As someone who hasn't been a regular in this game and seen me play my turns for the last 4 months it's laughable to think you're in a position to comment on my involvement in this game.

Considering I'm not a regular and considering this war doesn't even involve me it is a shame I seem to know far more about what is going on.

[Mali (DoC)]

I got an e-mail from civstats that a new turn started. are we still on pause?

[Ottoman Empire (DoC)]

[OzzyKP]

I've replied to RP about how I'd like to proceed but the game is still down.

I still haven't logged in and seen the damage Russia has done, nor have I had a chance to move since his invasion.

The game was taken down because there was a double move. We have been waiting for days to hear your opinion on how we should proceed. But every time you log in you demonstrate that you have done nothing to bring yourself up to speed on the current situation. So we just keep waiting.

If you aren't going to involve yourself at all then I don't see why we should continue to wait for you and let you hold the game up.

And the game has been paused again. Waiting for the Ottomans now.

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Thanks RMP for getting us back up and running.

[Robert]

Game is up.
As soon as the turn has processed I'll pause it again.
We need to appoint a sub for Arabia. I'm waiting for the Ottomans to comment on this first.

Next turn will be 22 (24) hours.
That'll make things easier because I can launch it any moment.

Good luck and thanks Inca.

(he said in a PM that he was ok to miss a turn if he fails to play his turn now.)
To the rest, as long as I did not pause the game, feel free to play your turn as well.
That includes Russia. (preferably Russia! but wait till the turn passed. do not even login to peek!)

[Inca (DoC)]

Play now and ok.
