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

[Byzantium (DoC)]

The truth is clear - some are just trying to obscure it.

The in game scores which we can all see in game, represent CIV's estimation of who is the biggest/most powerful/more techonological advanced. If the way you want to play is 'see who are the most powerful/successful civs and organise an alliance to gang up on them' (which certainly has merit) then the ones to look at are the ones at the top of the in game score list (Currently England and India, and yes then Byzantium who has recently stolen 3rd from Persia). The only thing to remember is that some people's score is inflated because they have already used their vouchers for tech trade (and tech gives score). So when looking at these you need to mentally add score to those civs who haven't used many vouchers, because as soon as they do, their score will leap (Byzantium has overtaken Persia not because I have grown recently but because I have spent vouchers on tech trades).

The other 'scores' are our votes (well 75% our votes plus 25% from the ingame score). Now call me biased but 'see who are the civs whose stories and attitude we liked most and organise an alliance to gang up on them' is really wierd.

[India (DoC)]

My post was a joke, too bad it's not trivial to everyone .but this whole talk is creepy.. makes me paranoid.. I even let someone take the lead.. maybe I should fall back more :P

[Korea (DoC)]

damn so confusing my galleys loaded with warriors keep needing to change direction.....

I'll from now on only update the gamescorecharts on the first post of this thread.
It's been updated now

[Russia (DoC)]

question about the war turn order.
Can I log in after I have played my turn to do things not war related? occasionally I have certain details to look up and micromanagement and stuff. I can promise that no attacks or other hostile acts will be done during such subsequent logins, is this an acceptable guarantee, or should I just be more thorough when I log in the first time?

[Robert]

To start with, you should be more thorough when you initial login, especially during war.
The thing is that we can't be sure that you're not doing stuff war related.

I'd say: if Byzantium agrees, you are allowed to login again. But if he doesn't (and he has every right to!) then you should not.

Maybe you can be trusted, but if we make it a common practice, everyone will do it, and in the end it'll be abused for sure, causing zillion new dramas, which will make the game collapse before I could win it. Especially that would be a shame.

[Orb (DoC)]

It's ok RP the game won't collapse before someone finishes you off and I win the game.

a transparent attempt at first posting as RP and then with your ingame account Robert? Nice try!

If I were RP I'm sure I would be a lot higher on the score charts.

This is even more tranparent, Robert :P

and this would be a great way to cement the confusion, should everybody have it wrong, Robert

No, I'm not Robert, I'm Spartacus!

[Robert]

Can the three of you stop trying to impersonate me!

[Rome (DoC)]

Can the three of you stop trying to impersonate me!

if it is me, is it still impersonating ?

[Robert]

I am done with this debate and so am I.
