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

[St Jon]

most interesting philosophical item this. the part about changing yourself especially. we all choose who we are, but some behaviour comes easier to us than to others. and sometimes what people who are down need to hear is "get a grip", other times that is the last thing they need to hear.

but suffering from depression is serious stuff, and when doing so stressful situations should be avoided. diplogames are a bit stressful. perhaps you should evaluate if you're spending more energy playing than you are having fun...

Like I said, just give the guy a break and let him play. No friends at home must be terrible, and PC Games cannot solve any problem, but being made to feel inadequate on a Forum is harmful. Social interaction is a good thing for anyone regardless of underlying mental health issues. He can write good stories and his score shows him not to be bad at Civ management. Winning Wars will come later but winning friends in the game is a good goal to go for.

I agree with St Jon.
Welcome back Rasputin
I'm glad that you didn't leave.

We are your friends! The fact that we won't trade techs with you or may even nuke you won't change that

[Orb (DoC)]

I for one am glad that Ras is staying and hope to read more about the wangs.

[Rasputin]

I noticed that I can vote for myself too, is that taken out of the final calculation, because that could lead to some skewed results when everybody gives themselves top marks Anyway, I voted

[Byzantium (DoC)]

SORRY GUYS - THE NET HAS GONE DOWN HERE SO I CANT PLAY MY TURN

On a borrowed connection I can get to here just about, but definitely can't connect to the game.

Normally I would say 'who cares' but as you know there is an army approaching one of my cities, and reinforcements moving to it to. A turn in which my troops don't move could well have serious consequences like cities falling which shouldn't, scouts being caught up with because they don't move when they are keeping one step ahead etc. I know I am not technically at war, but missing a turn now will be just as bad as missing one in war.

Please can we pause? 24 hours at the most - I will sort out a playable connection some how tomorrow, but there is nothing I can do tonight.

[Orb (DoC)]

It is too late to stop the timer now with less then 4 mins but next turn should be paused long enough for the Byzintines to get a better connection or a temp sub to make his moves for him.

[Russia (DoC)]

voted. I moved my army north instead of east, so you've already gained a turn if I do decide to move against you.

[Robert]

I've paused the game by request of Byzantium.
I have made a save, there's also a save from when Russia connected to the game, 5 minutes before the turn passed.

If Byzantium tells me when he's ready I can then (if I'm home) start the server and he has then 5 minutes to play his turn.

[Mali (DoC)]

Did you pause the game by shutting the server off? I cannot connect and based on the e-mail I received from civstats, there should still be 6 hours left on the clock.

[England (DoC)]

I do not see the problem here, if Russia has already deleted his turn. Can we please resume? Hate having the weekend and not playing my turns.
