Destiny of Empires [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread]

[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.

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.

[Inca (DoE)]

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...

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

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 )

[Russia (DoE)]

Nu, bliat takoi! Uje Ruskie devushki tebia ne nravitsq?

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.

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.

[Russia (DoE)]

He is still pi$$ed for being vilified for honoring the deal made with India by the previous Viking player

Oh, come on Viks! If I was pi$$ed each time someone had vilified me I must have been exploded till now To many players in the game I am the Devil himself in tight black dress, to others I am a tramp and fork-tongued, while other outright say there will be Russian blood for revenge. And yet I have some, who loves me and and I am happy for them, not mad with those who vilified me

[Native America (DoE)]

You're not wearing a tight black dress????


Hmmph. All bets are off.

Uhhh, Hello? Did The Sexxstanbul Not Post this Image of Comrade Catherine's Mother? The daughter is reportedly almost as beautiful as the mother... Why do you think Turkey loves Russia so much?

I'll give ya a hint... It aint the weather pard'ner!

Who needs a black dress? It just gets in the way of this... I'l take white horse over black dress any day of the week.

[Native America (DoE)]

It is an unsure thing. Perhaps it was an issue on the client side... I have that problem a lot with the server, sometimes it just won't connect or stay connected for me.
