Destiny of Empires [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread]

[France (DoE)]

Ally with the FRENCH!?!

Mais oui!

[Russia (DoE)]

But to confirm - if the game goes ahead, I am in.

Great news

I always considered France a warrior, so no big surprise he wants we to continue.

[France (DoE)]

I've read up to October 14, and Toni's report (funny thing, I always thought Toni was Neandor.... ), but have a dinner party to go to. Will finish catching up tomorrow.

But to confirm - if the game goes ahead, I am in.

[France (DoE)]

We are waiting to hear from Natives, France, Mongolia and Toni. All other are present and ready to play.

France is here. Just back from travels. Neandor was looking after my turns, as nothing was happening when I left.

I gather the game has 'evolved' once again. Going to do some reading and try to catch up.

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

Well if me admitting something or making some verbal concessions will keep Natives player interested, it would be helpful if Natives player would say specifically what concessions he would like to see me say.

[England (DoE)]

He didn't say he was leaving. Just that he was losing interest.

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

Sorry to see Natives go.

Since Natives were pacifist, and not really aligned with any alliance, it shouldn't affect the continuation of the game much right? Even more so since we are just continuing without any changes, and even more so because they were going to be aligned with Communists anyway. So we can either partition Natives or put them to AI and move on. Still need to hear from France and Vikings right?

I'm sorry; haven't posted recently. I was the Native American player. I have no interest in continuing the game with the massive changes under discussion. Frankly, I only have limited interest in continuing the game if we had no changes, since the personalities have been revealed, some of the strategies discussed, and considerable bad feeling been aired.

I think it is unfortunate that some players decided to bolt from being upset. Letting your emotions become invested in the happenings of the game is a bad thing. But I will also point out that too many players in the game have voiced frustration with the effect of the Russo-Ottoman-English alliance for that alliance to continue to maintain that their actions did not contribute to the game's demise. And while I know the Ottoman player loves to argue, frankly, that's not a good or wise thing; a little humility and concessions to opposing viewpoints make a player much more desirable as a gaming partner. Especially true when you are "winning" a game.

MY preference would be to take the players who have been interested in this game and committed to playing it to engage in a new game, with fewer players. One of the troubles we've had is that we never really had 18 players totally committed to the game, even before life intervened. At the end of the game, several players were doubling up on civs, and that's never a good thing.

[Russia (DoE)]

Is the game restarting soon?

We are waiting to hear from Natives, France, Mongolia and Toni. All other are present and ready to play.

[Inca (DoE)]

Well, I have started a new game at least... And I'm finishing it in good time also :/

[Japan (DoE)]

Is the game restarting soon?

[Rhothaerill]

France is about to return from vacation either today or tomorrow (supposedly). I left him an email about what has gone on, but he will be able to play his own turns when you start up again.

Have fun.

[Calanthian]

For those of you who are going to play my greek world mod Gods and Heroes:

the game is about to start soon..

Keep an eye on the WPC Diplo game thread!

[LzPrst]

unbelievable! I am having multiple technical difficulties

Just bought a new comp and having quite a lot of trouble getting everything to work as intended, meanwhile I was going to use my laptop to play my turns, but for reasons unknown the .dll file suddenly does not work. argh, will try to get everything in order ASAP, hopefully I will be able to play my turn by the end of the day.

[Inca (DoE)]

Yeah, I can handle that, no prob. I may, personally, have uses for the Zulu Empire after its destruction, however...
