HOTW4 Out of Character Thread

City ceding.. *ing wonderful tactic, boys

[Ljube]

Expect the same tactics from deity in the other game Zylka. He is infamous for that.

By the way, I'll post the save tomorrow.

[Zylka]

and who exactly is he going to city cede with? Time to stir up "character" in our regarding thread - he's leaving that game before anyone else.

[Zylka]

Holy sh*, he DIPLOGUIDED too?!

That's a blatant cheat, and simply NOT allowed in any respectable game. Try that garbage in Eurodip and you'll find yourself playing cheat-o-matic duels with old GameLeague rejects.

Simply unbelievable

[Ljube]

Believe it. He thought everybody was plotting against him. He thought after his move everybody would attack him. In fact, no such attack was planned.
Nevertheless, deity became delusional. His delusion overwhelmed him and he lost control. He was desperate. And desperate people are prone to irrational behaviour.

His move lasted 4 hours, during which he took all Frank's cities. Imagine that!

I am going to try to reason with him, but Frank is obviously and rightfully pissed.

[Zylka]

Is it not common knowledge that dip guiding is exactly the same level of cheating as bomber stack, wait safe tireme/fighters, and any (or all) mp bug exploits?

If he cheated in the middle of the game.. WHY did you all let him continue to do it for a four hour, tainted turn? Especially YOU ljube - you have common sense and balls. Why was this game allowed into ruin?

We should probably test out the save sometime during the week to avoid problems when the session starts next week. Make sure its uncorrupted.

Once the save is up I can make up one of my dandy maps. Raz, you need to do another animation of them all. Especially with the... developments...from last session.

I prefer zylkas lovely ones, can you speak niocely to him and get him to do one like he did for the classic diplo game...

I not aware as to how much he used diplo guiding i only saw some explorers in my area and one spy, these were there from lst turn and he was able to use them to clear the suez area..

[Ljube]

This diplo guiding (sorry, explorer guiding) exercise with hundreds of units must have been pretty much boring.

[Rasputin]

well not quite hundreds !!!!

and actualy ididnt see a single uit move, they slipped past unobserved during the night..

Egyptians are trying to research night vision goggles now

Well, the reason is that diplo/partisan/explorer guiding was allowed in this game.

But I didn't need to use it at all. Raz only needed to cede another city and mostly I bribed China's partisans to gain access which is a bit diferent to diplo guiding. I just saved a bit of time by using some spies but mostly it was partisans and could easily have been ALL partisans.

I think diplo-guiding is allowed in Rah's Rules anyway isn't it?

I expect the other players to support me on this. I was allowed to play and as far as I know all expect to continue next week. I'll do what I can to get Frank back in the game. I do feel for his situation. It's much the same as what he started to do to atawa. It's happened to me and it's not a nice feeling seeing your civ ripped apart.

I'm an honourable player and abide by any agreed rules. Diplo-guiding was discussed but not banned for this game. Many other games including diplos allow it by default. I've not seen it banned in many games.

[Zylka]

So did you BRIBE guide, or diplo guide? The two are VERY different

I didn't expect you to post this sort of stuff. I was playing the 'role' of Lizard in that game and not as 'deity'. I developed a storyline that was true for the Azande leader, delusional or otherwise is beside the point

I really thought it was OK to guide but mostly I bribed partisans. I could have 100% bribed partisans but used a few spies along the way which did save time.
