New type of diplo game

[The Priest]

That sounds like justice - you win, they get the GG. But what are you doing being outnumbered by the Maya? Or did you mean that you outnumbered them and lost and they got a GG. Now that would be a cause for grumbling ...

[Sumeria (DoD)]

Clock has only 3 1/2hrs on it and Maya are yet to move - please pause to prevent d/m as I will not be able to play now for approx 4-5hrs.

[Robert]

Game paused, Maya: please let me know when ready!

[Sumeria (DoD)]

I can play now but Maya must move within a reasonable time or bed will call me.

I know I can d/m but it is unfair as now is their last chance on the continent. It will not be over next turn regardless but it would give me a huge advantage.

@Priest. Of course we won but all units suffered terrible casualties due to the odds stacked against me.

[Robert]

Well, I'm going to sleep soon as well....... I can't baby sit this game all night....
If maya is toast anyway, I'd say: let's not stop this for Maya not being able to move right now.
(which is in the spirit of the game, uncomplicated playing)

Anyway, if nobody object I'll unpause the game and leave it to Sumeria to move before the turn ends without Maya moving first.
(I'll unpause it just before I go to sleep)

[Sumeria (DoD)]

OK. I play as was the spirit of this game.

[Robert]

Game's up again.

[Babylon (DoD)]

The gods favour you Sumaria. If the offer of a Babylonia general for the Mayas had been taken up when offered, the defence would have been organised from many years earlier, and until the bitter end!

[OzzyKP]

Ack, sorry, was driving cross country yesterday. And am on vacation now. Can probably check in tonight.

[Egypt (DoD)]

Heya,
I'm back from my trip in China, unfortunately though I have some technical problems with my net at home, hopefully i can fix it in a few days and then I'm back in buisness

[Toni]

Welcome Back Egypt. Love to hear more about your trip in China.

[Egypt (DoD)]

problem solved, I just took my turn. Quite disappointed, but it was somewhat expected (the statue of liberty, the kreml, the great spy,.. it all would had been mine with many colonies in the new world already.. but I guess my position still not that bad )

To China I traveled with my friend and his Chinese girlfriend (they met during the olimpics) So just 3 of us visited lots of places, mostly in Yunan which is the southest province of China, but I have spent a few days in Beijing, visited the great wall and a special building-for me from the last game.. would blow my identity if I'd tell you which was it, but you can guess ) We were in Zhangjiajie, in the national park which they say inspired the alien world in the movie Avatar Then Dali, Lijiang both very nice cities, took a trip in the tiger leaping gorge.. and so on.. an almost 3 weeks very well spent

[Babylon (DoD)]

Sorry Egypt's position looks so bad. Look, I'm a nice guy, don't want you to have suffered because you were away, if you ask nicely we could swap nations.

(Sounds like a great trip; good to have you back)

[Babylon (DoD)]

Hey Vikings - isn't that the most blantent type of wartime double move?

I moved first in 1480 when we were at peace, and then in your move in 1480 you declared war on me, then you logged in fast in 1485 ahead of me.

Am I missing something?

I haven't taken my turn yet - once I logged in and saw this I stopped in confusion.

[Toni]

As Deity said there are no rules in this game, but still it is expected to honor the code
