New type of diplo game

[Egypt (DoD)]

3 turns it is, hurry up

[Robert]

Ah, so you got a lot of great artists stockpiled. clever.
I'm going to miss this game!

[Egypt (DoD)]

I have 2, but I think I will only need one. I haven't used them yet because I did not know which one of my cities get nuked (first )

[Toni]

Guys I just became a daddy this past Monday, so Russia's priorities have shifted into the real world.

[Toni]

Russia's armies salute Egypt and their CV.

Congrats, Toni!!

((I knew you were Russia for a long time ))

[Robert]

Congratulations Toni!!!
Wha did you got? A son or a daughter!?
We want pictures!!!!!!

How's Daniela? Everything ok?
Congratulate her from me as well!!

[St Jon]

Congratulations!!

All Sumeria rejoices at your wonderful news and even the last of the serial killer sons spawned by Gilgamesh smiles.

We shall hold a festival in Uruk

Gilgamesh MCXXIV

....

I wish you all happiness for the future with your new joy. May all good fortunes of fate surround your child throughout their life.

Jon

[Robert]

So, St Jon = Sumeria?
Good job!!!

[Babylon (DoD)]

Finally even the fools start to grasp that Hindustan was never the one bent on world domination.

(and congrats Toni!)

[Sumeria (DoD)]

Sumeria sadly must wage a war with Egypt.

It may be forlorn but many Sumerians will die happy in this final battle. Sadly, a number of Egyptian civilians appear to have also perished.

...

Yep, Robert, St Jon is Sumeria and I guess you Rome?

[Sumeria (DoD)]

OOP's! If needed, I doubt it, then the clock must be extended.

[Byzantium (DoD)]

OK, I highly suspect that the manipulative Egyptians are just saying that about 3 turns to provoke war, but we can't take the risk... let's go out with some real fun

deity is joining in!

I was hoping we could have a guessing comp before saying who we are but here's my guess, now partly informed:

Sumeria = St Jon - I suspected that for a LONG time (but in the beginning in ancient times I thought it was Toni). Bloody brilliant effort for a POM [but they even losing the Cricket now]

Russia = Toni - Gradually I realised this must be Toni, the best nicest player around!! CONRATS DAD

Egypt = mzprox - no doubt, clearly the best strategic player around with a strong sense of diplo too

Babs = Cybershy - best diplo player I reckon, plays to diplo rather than game mechanics

Mongolia = bamf - he dropped that recently otherwise I'd never know! Nice effort bamf!

America = Trev - damn solid player but not into diplo

Vikings = Hercules? Branksdilly?

Maya = Pinchak

China = Heraclitus?

France = lzprst?

Oh and THE PRIEST!

ROME!!!! Can't stand the way this guy plays but love playing with him

---

btw, can't play my turn for a few hours.... but most likely will be at war with Egypt too

[St Jon]

List as I know it:~

Russia - Toni. long time known simply by great play, Certain.
Babylon - The Priest, I knew very early due to him spelling 'the' as 'teh' which he always does. Brilliant effort at a Religious Victory by a fantastic Diplo Player. Certain.
Rome - Robert, fantastic start and early identification of Egypt as the big threat. Why did you he always see Sumeria as a threat? Certain.
Egypt - mzprox, fantastic play by a a Player best as a General and still brilliant at Diplo. I guessed early but was stupid and didn't join any attack on him. Certain.
Maya - Pinchak, He was obviously going to be Maya which was why I just went for the kill. Certain.
China - Hercules, Only know due to another game where he dropped out. Certain.
France - lzprst, It was made public so no mystery. Certain.
America - Trev, Very well played and good diplo, nothing in public, to achieve such success. Certain.
Byzantium - Deity, Obvious Aussie from login times and trying to gloat after the Perth Test. We thrashed you in the last two! Certain.
Mongolia - Bamf, Great commitment to a game despite a dire starting position and being surrounded by much more experienced Diplo players. No public diplo but great private and never losing interest regardless of a low ranking. Certain.
Celts - Marcus, Logged in as himself so Certain.
Vikings - Branksdilly, Process of elimination. Certain.
Sumeria - St Jon, Obviously Certain.

I do reckon that special credit goes to Bamf for not just giving up when it would have been so easy to do so.
