Game Discussion IV

[Master Zen]

btw, 20g was sent to Vox, it was the gold obtained from capturing RP's city. I cannot think of anything else to do with that gold and I can't send it to GS who's the civ most entitled to it (maybe Vox can send it to GS).

Yeah we...uhh, can send it...but uhh...I forgot to do so this turn. I'll do it next turn.

[Krill]

Rhoth, can you send ithe save to me as well please?

My addy is {chris TA jackos TOD f2s TOD com}

Well, given that the victory objectives set by GoW and ND have been accomplished as of this turn (GoW captured EotS thus eliminating GS from the game), should we call this over?

On the other hand, an in-game victory condition has not been met, so, should we wait until one is triggered?

GoW would not mind waiting for the next UN vote and then calling an official end to the game insofar as ND and Vox are willing to continue playing until then (10 more turns?).

[vulture]

If GoW, ND and Vox are the only ones left, and GoWND will win the next UN vote for certain, then I guess it's up to Vox if they want to carry on until then, or whether they want to raze the UN and wipe GoWND off the map.

[Rhothaerill]

Vox is fine with just calling it now. I'm ready for the game to be over.

[Master Zen]

Cool. Personally I'd like to wait until an in-game victory condition is triggered so everything ends up being legit, but I'll respect the wishes of the other two teams.

[bongo]

So GoW and ND will get half a gold-medal each and vox will be awarded a "survivor"-diploma?

[Rhothaerill]

Something like that.

[bongo]

/me goes to find some beer-caps for engraving and gilding

[Master Zen]

I want the Dos Equis cap

[bongo]

Ah, too late for that. Unless you mail a bottle to me



Enjoy:
(NDs medal are in the making)

[Master Zen]

I feel so.... honored

[bongo]

Here's the medals. I would make vox' diploma as well but I am simply *not* able to fashion one out of beer bottles.

[Aeson]

It's only a few more turns at most till the UN vote. Or a UN vote can be held here if all the remaining teams in the game are agreeable and don't want to play it out. This game was 2+ years of dedication from many people, why stop short of the finish line now?

-------------

Now that GS is no more, here's my personal opinion about shared victory:

A game is about setting victory conditions, rules of play, and factions before the game starts, then having those factions compete within those rules to achieve victory. While the rules weren't defined in many cases and that lead to some problems, the teams and victory conditions were defined. We set victory conditions for this game before it started, shared victory wasn't one of them. We set teams for this game before it started, NGoWD wasn't one of them. One team, one victory. That's what the game is.

Personally, I will only view the team that achieves that victory as the winner. GoW and ND can't both win in my estimation.
