GoW/MZ?

[Master Zen]

Sorry, we had to poll on an issue which came up unexpectedly. And then on sunday, well... i'll just say it was a Star Wars thing

[Master Zen]

Ok, this will sound unbelievable but true.

I was in the middle of playing the turn (actually more like 2/3 through) and then...

MY MOUSE'S RIGHT-BUTTON DIED.

I already rebooted my system twice, connected/disconnected the USB cable and still same problem. Granted the mouse is quite old and since about a week or two ago it started giving me problems with the left button but now the right one just died completely.

I guess I'll have to buy a new one or "borrow" one from work tomorrow. My sincere apologies for holding the turn one more day than necessary. Had I started playing just one hour earlier this wouldn't have happened.

MZ has informed me that GoW received a leader in destroying Lego's final city. For the record, as we had to settle that city to allow us to be eliminated, and as it was decided earlier that Lego and RP would have no influence on the rest of the game, I think it is only proper that GoW disband said leader without using it.

[ZargonX]

And to refute MZ ahead of time, the "immortality of Lego" was in jest and not any indication of our desire to effect the rest of the game. It was deemed by the rest of you that we would not. And as MZ did not finish this turn anyway, it's quite possible the game will still crash.

er...they only thing they can rush of any value is a nuke. I don't mind them rushing it so long as they use it on ND...

You were offered a LONG time ago to land your last settler on Little Bob (we even left a tile open) so you could be finished off. You didn't and chose to continue sailing your fleet as long as it suited you.

Now you claim this was all "in jest"?

You also accepted the Voxian city which flipped to you despite city flipping asks you if you want to accept it or not. Was that in "jest" also?

I'm sorry but I just don't seem to buy the it was all a joke excuse when all of Lego's actions made it seemed that you were perfectly content in continuing your existance, continuing to play and trying to be a nuisance if possible.

Roleplay on the other hand, admitted they had no intention of playing the game, built their last civ and left the game in someone else's hands. Had GoW obtained its leader against RP, I would perfectly agree to have disbanded it, speaking of which GoW did obtain 20g from Roleplay which is technically illegal. I'm all ears regarding what to do with that money.

Anyway, I now have a mouse and will begin playing the turn as planned since I ain't buying your excuse. Feel free to contact Trip to resolve this matter and I shall heed whatever resolution The Eye™ decides upon.

And the Lego city was defended.
And they didnt hand the password over to another team to play for them.

Actually we rushed a warrior with it. ph33r t3h 6O\/\/ \/\/4rr|0rZ!11!!!1oneoneoneone!!11!

For the record, we didn't accept the city; it gave it to us without any choice.

And in regards to being a "nuisance," we haven't done anything other than move our remaining few units around, heading for empty lands to settle in. It was you who came into Vox's territory to hunt us, not us coming after you. So yes, I had no intention of playing any further part in the game other than hitting "enter."

But, if GS doesn't care, then I don't.

[ZargonX]

And the Lego city was defended.

Because up until last turn, there was no way to actually eliminate us from the game without crashing, so whether it was defended or not was irrelevant.

And they didnt hand the password over to another team to play for them.

We've been playing our own saves since day 1, and I'm going to play until Lego is no longer in it in any form.

No it wasn't irrelevant since your military units were subject to our attacks at our discretion by their mere existance. You could have disbanded all units except for the settler and we could never have gotten the leader or the elites that we got when killing your other infantry (why didn't you complain then?).

By leaving military forces you risked us attacking you and those attacks were entirely legal. Whatever consequence of those attacks, be it promotions, GLs, GoW units lost, were of your own doing so deal with it

[Rhothaerill]

ZargonX is correct. The game handed him the city without his or anyone's say, along with a free rifleman to go with it. He moved the rifleman out of the city so Vox could retake it.

[Master Zen]

Interesting, I would have thought the city flip mechanics were the same as in SP (where you'd be asked if you wanted to take the city). I therefore stand corrected.
