New type of diplo game

[2metraninja]

Its me again. I decided not to take this dying civ. Game on big guys

[mzprox]

Now this is great..very soon we will have a nice chat with the ad-bots and we won't even know who we are talking to

[St Jon]

LOL! Preserving anonymity after quitting does seem a little OTT.

[mzprox]

That was my first thought too, but that comment just doesn't make no sense.. and the others as well. Lucykhloe is an adbot who can join in a conversation and its comments are quite on-topic. But in reality it just steals sentences from others and changes a few words to its synonym, very funny..

[St Jon]

An Ad-Bot that submits semi on topic posts and relies on somebody following its' signature link?

That is incredibly annoying but you got to give whoever thought it up very high marks for imagination!

I hope you are going to kill off our new little friend Robert as Lucykhloe could quite rapidly become a bore.

[St Jon]

Double Post.

BTW. This seems to be happening quite a bit. Is this a known bug on the redesigned site?

[Robert]

Well, we needed a sub, pherhaps the adbot AI is better then the game AI, and he'd be willing to join us

@st jon: I never have it, you most probably double click the 'submit' button.

[Rome (DoD)]

Roman soldiers are coming to the aid of the Vikings.
The Romans and the Vikings are known allies for a long time. Now Egyptians and Babylonians have invaded the Vikings, Rome could do nothing but bringing as much as possibe Viking cities under direct Roman protection.

[Sumeria (DoD)]

Augustus, I applaud your selfless effort.
The greed of the Babylonians is well known to all! They seek only to persecute the weak and feeble and steal from those least able to defend themselves.
I am sure that Egypt is truly motivated by a similar humanitarian motive.
Please, together, save the women and children of the Viking people from the rape, murder and pillage that awaits them at the hands of the Babylonians.
Your bravery will go down in history.

[Egypt (DoD)]

Egypt's mission to liberate the vikings from the anarchy is over. We could only save two cities from the vultures. Because of our peaceful nature we won't risk a global war with the others, not even for the vikings, but our hearts are full of sorrow for the lost..

[Egypt (DoD)]

There was a chance to save billions of lives.. the game almost ended peacefully and very unexpectedly. Babylon called a vote for diplo victory and almost succeed . It was a very good move as I , and as it seems everyone else was absolutely unaware that He is so close to win. And the proposition only failed because I coincidentaly started to spread hinduism into my cities just 7-8 turns ago, and during this time 7 of my cities were converted. I only did to get extra happiness and the small hammer bonus from the hindu temples..
Now it seems we have to continue building up our armies
But nice try Babylon, really !
(I did not do the exact math, but quite sure they could had won if the vote happens 7-8 turns ago. they had 404 vote, me 100 (raised from about 25) , the rest altogether 83. They required 440 from 587)

[St Jon]

I am getting paranoid here as the remaining player list looks like a hall of fame!

* Toni
* Robert Plomp
* trev
* deity
* The Priest
* mzprox

There are only two others left and, minus Ozzy and the Friday night brothers, we face the best that Poly can throw at us in CivIV!

Woe is me for I am a mere canonised hamster.

[America (DoD)]

I have just read the many posts that occurred during my absence. Russia is correct to say that I have been in an alliance with him since very near the beginning of the game, I had fought a brief war with Mongolia over a badly sited city and had concerns about China building cities very close to existing cities of mine. So I entered an unconditional alliance with him so that I could feel secure within my borders and there has been cooperation between us ever since. Previously when absent I had used another sub, but this time being aware of impending major battles coming up I decided it was best that Russia subbed for me because I intended to provide units to him which he would then upgrade and use however he wished. Russia as sub could manage this transfer of units best, with him transferring some upgraded units back to me for my defence.
Being away I was unaware of the money transfers, but they are within the parameters of our alliance and would have occurred upon his request if I had been in charge of the civ, so all is well there.
Lincoln personally has no argument with DesertLord and had no desire at any time to be involved in the wars, but our unconditional alliance with Russia was the sole reason for our involvement since we know that Russia likewise will asist us should we become involved in any wars in the future.

[Egypt (DoD)]

So you knew that war was coming and when Russia declared war on us You intended to supply them with troops and money. Still saying you have no argument with us?

Egypt recognizes that more than half of the world are united into a single, unconditional(?) alliance. In the protection of the rest of the world, Egypt announces that She will protect the remaining free nations if this alliance threatens them, and should any member declare war on any yet independent nation Egypt will join in war against the whole alliance.
Egypt considers: Rome, Gondor, Russia, America part of the evil alliance, and Babylon, Sumeria, Mongol as independent nations thus protected.
If these informations are not correct please update us.
We of couse hope this is an unnecessary step by us, and we will enjoy eternal peace..

[Sumeria (DoD)]

I am unhappy with this as I communicated with the Americans whilst they were controlled by Russia. This was unknown to me and is wrong!

Subbing is fine but a sub should be indicated in the name as agreed, e.g. America(Sub), but when the sub comes from within the game itself then it must be public knowledge who that sub is.

I could have offered a plan or plot against Russia to America and found Sumerian aims were known to the intended target. Thankfully I didn't but this must not ever happen again. Please enforce this rule very strictly in DoE Robert.
