Destiny of Empires [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread]

Lol in my defense, I have 2 anniversaries because I married same woman twice in one year (long story). We went to Europe for one anniversary and Harry Potter for the other.

Seriously, going to HP for your anniversary, AND marrying the same woman twice.... add to that that you play some 1 year lasting role playing game (which is paused all the time). Your life stinks.

The only question that remains is: If you divorce your wife, are you then still married because you're married twice?

... because I married same woman twice in one year (long story).

It's a long game.

[France (DoE)]

FYI, the game is unpaused, and has been for about 30 minutes

Thx! Played.

New turn rolling around.

Heh I read that and thought you said "some" woman.

Going to Harry Potter for your anniversary? Dude, your marriage stinks! :P

Listen guys. I said sorry earlier, but I really want to publicly apologize for my words of last evening. I had one glass of wine too many, and just should have kept my mouth shut. I have really enjoyed this game so far, both the in-game stuff and the sportsmanship manner in which all have played. So please, give me a boot in the derriere, which I deserve. And I promise to think twice next time before opening my big yap.

Thank-you.

I can connect, but lose the connection partway through the game data transfer, which is way slower than usual. I presume the game is paused, by that should not cause this.

[France (DoE)]

Sorry France but your blaming the wrong two civs here. India and I where going just fine apart from a small rough patch. We have been able to play 18hr turns before the ottoman, American, Aztec war without fault.

Yes, I know. Sorry for my words.

[France (DoE)]

Wow France that's harsh, Especially considering it was for my AFV. The first letter stands for 'Anni', the third stands for 'Versary', you can figure out the second.

My apologies. I was not upset for you going out, but for the situation. Hope you had a good time.

And I was grumpy. Sorry.

And as far as me "getting my act together" goes, I was left the last 3 hours of a 28 hour turn to play... I can remember pausing quite a few times for France in the last War because of the very same situation (and I never complained about it BTW). I dont know where this rosy-eyed-glasses, romaticized, it-was-better-back-then attitude about the last war is coming from, cause we paused alot in the last War... and it was usually for France.

Yes - agreed.

[Japan (DoE)]

I say BS. We ran a 6 civ war for umpteen turns without any pauses. This is two players, much like the Japanese and Indian situation, who cannot get their act together.

Also who are we waiting for? I always take my turn early although it doesn't show on pyt that I finish so who else is the game being paused for?

[India (DoE)]

Excuse me? In what way have India and Japan not gotten our act together? We have fought this war for more than a dozen turns without any issue. The only problem was when Japan forgot to move in its turn and India then for no reason other than to be a good sport, agreed to swap the turn order to allow Japan to regain the advantage they had given India by not playing their turn. I do not like accusations (which the Japanese made) and that was what the discussion here was about. There was some unclarity in the situation which needed to be resolved, but aside from that Japan and India have played every turn without pause I believe.

I would appreciate it if you would retract that statement.



Also, a lot of our problems stem from the pausing which causes civs that are in diplo-screens to be unable to play their turns. Silly design as that is we have to work around it, and the best way to do that is to NOT PAUSE. If civs can not play their turns in the allotted time then they should lose their turn.

Another work-around is less harsh. Civs at war can not be contacted through the diplo-screen. That should solve the issue as well.

[Aztecs (DoE)]

My guess is that because of obvious reasons, the Aztecs are relying and waiting for diplomatic resolving of this war and other powers to take their time in reading/sending diplo, deciding how to act, rather than actually playing Azteca turn. In the Great War it was clear who is who and what he wants, so we just played our turns without pausing and half-way actions despite we were divided in three time zones with you France, playing in the last one.

This is true.

But I understand all other players are influenced by this. Like I said I will adhere to a more strict first turn half time scheme.

[Ottoman Empire (DoE)]

Bah... Wife informs me I must go on a date with her to see new Harry Potter movie so I can't play.

BFS. First letter stands for 'bull'. You can figure out the second and third.

Game is paused on the third time I try to play my turn.

Looks like we all miss a turn because of this crap.

I am not amused. End of day here.

RP and Ozzy - you need to intervene here. This is nonsense.

Annway, I played and paused for you (even though I know Im not supposed to pause for countries who arent at war) Hopefully the dreamweavers will forgive me as France seems pretty sore about possibly missing his turn (must be something important)... Maybe its because France feels like he is at War even though he not tecnically at War ... Hmmm I wonder who he could possibly feel like he is at war with.
