Destiny of Empires [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread]

[Robert]

Is the Chinese sub ready? Please confirm here.

Regarding the Zulu, do we need a new sub?
Personally I believe that perm subbing two civs that close to each other isn't right.
The Arabs have the same player both on the north-west and on the south. That's not a very favourable situation.

There is a player who wants to sub for the Zulu in my PM box. (a player from this game but more distant from the Zulu then the Turks)

Great job though that the Turks have been subbing the Zulu all the time and I do believe that they are doing this honest and fair.

yes, read the story thread, I want comments on my stories. Too long?

Too long? Hells naw! I always thought they were too short. I LOVE the Indian stories. Especially the rants and raves about persecution and how everyone conspires against India... Those are the best!

Although I like the new stuff about Bayeg too. Graphic-novel worthy stuff.. My one critique is the lack of pictures, but thats minor.

Welcome gpcII! All you really need from this thread is the first post then you can try to catch up with the story thread, but you can expect to get some breifing about China's history from other players too. (just don't expect them to be unbiased )

perhaps we can just get a new, super secret temp sub for them until a permanent one can be found? The long pauses aren't likely good for the health of the game...

Point, set, match

@ gpcii - My rule of thumb for joining new pitbosses is to start reading the most recent pages, and work my way backwards until I feel like I have a good idea of what is going on, then start at the beginning and work my way forward for the historical context, until I start to get bored. By then you will probably be too busy to bother with the rest, and you will have a really good idea of the past and present of your civ. Use the same method for PMs as well.

For this game, it is a special kind of situation though because its a diplogame with stories. So I would recommend reading the whole story thread for this month. Don't bother with previous months unless you really enjoy them. That's my advice

And Welcome

Excellent, a sub!

I hope you stick around to actually play the civ

Check your PMs when you get in also! I'm sure you have two weeks of back-reading to do...

Yeah, you don't need to read this full thread. Indeed, 5-6 pages back (at full page length) should suffice. The "August"(/September) story thread should fill you in on most of the in-game issues that this thread doesn't cover, and your PM cache should provide further clarity. I'm sure you will be contacted by me, Japan, Mongolia, and India at least once you have your account, to clarify further what's up in our eyes.

So, are we going to restart or wait for a Zulu sub as well? As they aren't nearly as central in the game right now, nor at war, nor terribly powerful, perhaps we can just get a new, super secret temp sub for them until a permanent one can be found? The long pauses aren't likely good for the health of the game...

[France (DoE)]

Welcome gpcii! Don't bother with reading all this thread. I would concentrate on the last 5 pages or so, and the recent story posts.

[Native America (DoE)]

I have been invited to sub for China... I am interested if you folks would agree to it... I have 99 pages of reading to do here and am new to Pitboss but am willing to learn and eager to play...

Rule #1 for pitboss games: Do whatever the Native Americans ask you to do.

You could have logged in with the Zulu login
But I was aware that the Zulu were being subbed by another in-game civ, I had forgotten which civ though.

I know for a fact that America is being played by.... America
America was only subbed a couple of weeks ago, as we all know b/c it was advertised here.

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

I've pretty much made my arguments, so I will try to let it rest, but here is the notice that folks are complaining they didn't get

Maybe it's best if for now someone subs for the Zulu ... Please respond with your anonymous login.

... Regarding the Zulu: I have a potential sub already in my PM.
Waiting for a confirmation ... may cause some delays ...

... Anyway, there's a sub, he should play this turn, so all should be fine!

So as a result of this now my anonymity is also lost... so that's great

I have been playing all my turns since I got my laptop back last month.
