Destiny of Empires [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread]

[India (DoE)]

eh. I can't play my turn or do anything because of a diplomacy screen...

[France (DoE)]

Ok - loading up the car. I still could not get the game un-paused. It is showing 90 minutes left to play.

I am taking a laptop, and may have time to play later tonight, some 12 hours from now.

Ciao.

[France (DoE)]

25 minutes.

[France (DoE)]

Ok - next question. How do I un-pause the game???

Can I do it - or does Suleiman have to do it?

I have a little less than one hour from the time of this post to play. I am then leaving to go to the big city to take my Mom to a show.

[France (DoE)]

Awake now. And playing. Thanks for the pause, Ottomans.

Sorry if I was cranky last night. Looks like I missed you by 15 minutes.

And @ Russia, I would be interested in hearing what others think. You and I were the main proponents of 'bloc' moves. No one else seemed to want to buy into it.

[Russia (DoE)]

I am slightly pi$$ed about all this. The English pushed me to the last hour a number of times as well.

First of all, I want to thank you and congratulate you for the true sportsmanship on all the occasions you were forced to wait to the very few last hours to play your turns and never complained about it before.

Perhaps it would be better if France/Israel played first during the turn. That would give you and the English and the Rus the remainder of the turn to play. Just a thought.

I would have been OK with that, as at the present window of time of the turn timer does not suits me well - either I have to play in the beginning of the timer or the next opportunity for me to play have like 5-6 hours left on the timer. I am OK to switch the turn order if it will keep with this timing. Maybe we can arrange it by just no one moving/slaving units near the front for one turn. If it is going to be the next turn, just say and I will agree if all the other agree too.

If the Turks cannot play their turn at all, I don't know what to suggest.

I am sure in the rules there is exact rule for this, saying that the host will pause the game if there is 2 hours on the timer and not all of the war-involved parties are played yet.

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

I have played my turn and paused the game for Israel and France

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

Playing now

[France (DoE)]

OK. I have to go to sleep. I am traveling out of town tomorrow. A little over two hours on the turn timer and both the Ottoman and the Arabs have yet to play.

This next turn is critical. I could have moved, but that essentially would have been a double move. So I will not move at all - which means losing a turn.

I guess I am asking for Robert to extend the turn so the remainder of us can play in the proper order.

If the Turks cannot play their turn at all, I don't know what to suggest.

I am slightly pi$$ed about all this. The English pushed me to the last hour a number of times as well. Can we set a cut off point - say 4 hours to go, where I can go in and play at my liberty. Or as I suggested above, maybe we reverse the order in a less than critical turn, and the English, Rus, and Turks play second for awhile.

[France (DoE)]

OK. Understood. But please play soon.

Perhaps it would be better if France/Israel played first during the turn. That would give you and the English and the Rus the remainder of the turn to play. Just a thought.

I probably have another 90 minutes of on-line time here.

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

if no one else pauses I will pause after I play so France and Israel can play

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

I'm so sorry. I don't have internet where I am( typing this message on a PDA phone). I will be able to play by the end of the turn, but I request a pause so that those who are waiting on me can play too. Again, I am out of town, which is why I have been slow playing turns.

Agaib, Im very very sorry.

[France (DoE)]

Yes - I am waiting on them as well.

[Israel (DoE)]

I'm waiting for the Ottomans. 8 hours on the clock but I'm going to sleep in an hour......

[France (DoE)]

55 minutes left. The DA have yet to play. Playing my turn.
