Destiny of Empires [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread]

[OzzyKP]

Haha, I am just the lackey. Robert is the owner around here. I don't make the rules I just enforce them (sometimes).

But damn, I have to handle voting now?

[France (DoE)]

Have a good time RP! Hope the weather co-operates.

Is Ozzy handling the voting? Can we do it topless?

[Vikings (DoE)]

Hmm, if this follows normal pitboss procedure then the game will go down tomorrow and be down the entire time.

Enjoy your vacation.

[Robert]

I'm leaving for a 2 weeks vacation.
Everything should work like usual, and if not then I should be able to login to my server from my vacation as well.

I'll just be a tad bit slower and respond many hours later.
Please anybody just pauses the game if needed so that I can act when I'm available later.

Well one thing seems clear. The majority of the direct participants in the Great War (those who actually DoW on someone) agree that there was one Great War that began when Vikings DoWed England and ended with the recent Russian written treaty. That seems settled then, since the participants are the ones who usually define a war.

[Russia (DoE)]

Hahah, France - just saw your story post - made me nice laugh - I can state that mine post in this thread #2073 was made before seeing yours, but it made a good combination!

There was such rule forgotten by the bunch of players. I was the only one who made a point about it and there was later even some voting to disable this rule - I think the general sentiments were to just drop that rule and since then the renaming became optional. (Just like the swimsuits on the Malian beaches and contrary to the Ozzlandia severe laws incriminating all kind of topless chicks photographs, even if their face cant be seen and they they cant be recognized and are photographed aesthetically, and are photographed at a public place, thus not violating any their privacy)

[France (DoE)]

edit: wasnt there a rule saying that nations that gift units had to put the original owners name in the unit name?

There was a discussion on this earlier, and it was decided that it was optional. Pros and cons to both sides.

[India (DoE)]

if attacking territories settled by someone else is not aggression then you need a dictionary.

[Russia (DoE)]

You can well say "damn Georgii" too

[France (DoE)]

Nope, the hostilities never ended between England, France and Russia till now. Despite not fighting great battles for about 5-10 turns after the battle at Erkon Oasis Hills, the preparations and the tactical outdance never stopped.

I can second that point. In fact, it was pretty frantic and tense at times, what with the DA sailing all over the place.

damnanglais! :spit:

[Russia (DoE)]

It was campaigning - gathering all those units in place and waiting/looking/searching for a chance to actually destroy the opposing armies. But this isnt too important. The main thing is that we finally have peace (with small exceptions)

[Inca (DoE)]

I am aware that there was some dancing going on, but that's still different than an actual campaign. No campaigns for decades = peace in my book.

[England (DoE)]

I can certainly appreciate the English Analysis. But that still agrees with my point that the treaty between England France Valhalla Turkey Russians and Neandor was the end of the war, not the cease fire between Israel and Turkey, since the war was still going on between England France and Russia

Oh yea, certainly.
