Does slow play have you fuming?

In the 7 player we played 3 turns in ~3 hours of actual playing time. Diety had 21 units TOTAL and 14 cities, yet he managed over 20 minute turns. I had lunch and came back and he was still moving, this i just can't understand.

That's rubbish Markus. More like 10 mins. Your constant exagerations are very unhelpful to readers.

I checked with Dangime, who is also in that game, and he says my turns were taking about 10 mins which is longer than anyone else but I'm actively at war with 3 civs (plus Winz) on a variable connection. I did mention that it seized up, in King Chat, and you know we were having problems. YOU even crashed out as the host!

It's really the quality of the strategy that matters as long as we all move as quickly as possible. Some of your turns as host were quite long (over 5 mins or more) and I don't mind a bit. This is such a boring topic. I do agree that quick turns at the beginning are essential though.

Yeah slow play doesn't bother me that much either - our main beef with Deity, and the source of all the jokes, is the fact he flatly denies that he dawdles. If he'd admit it and tell us why there'd be no more room for jokes.

Which means D, for humour's sake, please maintain your denials

I'm no slower, on average , than anyone else on an equivalent connection.

No one bashes Berzerker about his slow connection. Why me?

Am I just a joke around here?

"equivalent connection" please define "equivalent"

Simple - you won't admit that sometimes you are slow. If you admitted it, even if you don't believe it, you would instantly, completely and utterly disarm your critics.

Of course not. You are just the plate du jour

Oh and btw, when people accuse me of slow play I just ignore them

Hes lieing. You can tell exactly how much lag someone has by the speed of there units when they move by you. His caras on automove just zip around the map... hes got as much lag as anyone else.

There seems to be a contradiction in this comment...


You know that lag is variable and the game sometimes seizes up on my turn. Others experience this too.

horse........

Deity....this wasn't directed at you...i just used your name for the heck of it

[markusf]

I timed it, your last turn was over 20 minutes. We played for close to 4 hours, but only 3 of that was spent in the game.

You had 21 units and 14 cities.. If you have a unit in nearly every city thats only 7 units to move in 10-30 minute turns. Come on there is no explanation for moving 7 units in 20 minutes.
What strat could you possibilly have? Stare at the screen for 19 minutes and then move 7 units in the last min? Tell me how can that possiblely be exagerated....

Pay no attention to them D, they are just trying to psych you out after your recent brilliant victories

When it locks up it locks up on everyone.. We all know it was when raz or berz where crashing.

Are you seriously claiming that the fact that you are suddenly bashing Deity for slow play has nothing to do with the fact that he put your *** in a wringer in the game?

Diety is exagerating as usual, hes lost far more units then me in this war a simple look at the casulty stats would tell you that. In the last 3 turns he managed to sink 2 transports big deal in the 3 turns before he had his whole army destroyed by me.

I have always complained about his slow play in every single game. Moving 7 units in 20 minutes is inexcusable. So far diety is admiting to moving 7 units in ~ 10 minutes on average, even that is inexcusable.

Complaining about slow play is a common tactic to disrupt a player - especially if you are using KC during their turn to make your complaints

I never talk in KC in big games, about the only thing i do is send mass shut up messages

7 movable units, 20 minute turns. Not even strat is that slow.

Is that true? Deity says not.

Let him say it then. He won't because he knows it would be a lie he would be caught in. I just have to post the saves.

Yep. Aussie Rules. Hydey is a fervent Carlton supporter. They are currently bottom of the ladder. If they finish there at the end of the season, it will be the first time for about 80 years. Of course, we're all praying they will.

80 years my arse , we have never finished on the bottom and I have put money on that it will not happen this year.
