  • WOW this is moving so quick. I am sorry that I have been negligent in my duties here as I have been quite busy in RL and the SP Demo Game. Maybe I should recognize this and step down for now. I an willing to do the work, but it seams that my timing is off.

    nbarclay, Thak you for filling the gap I created by my absence. You are making a finer dipmomat than I am right now.

    Does any one want me to step in here at all? It seems like everything is under control? I want to help but every time I think I can break free from the SP Demo game, I find myself in court and get dragged back into it. No excuses, just what is happening.

    • BTW

      Good response. :d Send it....

      I would send it, but I do not want to take credit for a fine piece of work that I did not do.

      • I think the SP DG needs your engagement to a much greater amount than the PTW DG, after so many (including me) have left it or are there seldomer than they were in the past. I'm glad that there are people who keep it running. Nathan does amazing work at your place, but he can't forever to 2 jobs, even more since there may be more contacts in the near future. Perhaps we should think about a solution.

        • I feel the same way, the SPDG needed some juice a month ago, I believe that is in better participtory shape now....

          Well my position as FAM is up in a week or so (the 12th I believe). I do not have a big commitment beyond that. I would like to stay on, as I will be freed up by then. I will be semi active a senator in that game, but I would rather dedicate my time to this game.

          During the interim, Is it possible to PM me when we need to assemble a response and such? I peep in once a day, but have not sync-ed up with what is going on a lot.

            DeepO!!, where is that history thread !?!?!?
            Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

            • Keep trying... eventually you might find someone to delegate your job to. But not tonight, Alva

              • I would love to help more diplomacy-wise, but it looks as though I'll have my hands full with school this semester. I'll definitely keep up my duties as ambassador to LI and as Tactician, but I cannot promise anything more.

                Things appear to be going well (I mean, are being taken care of adequately...out actual position in the game is rather complicated), so again I have to give a thumbs up to everyone involved in the Vox situation.

                    You mean about minimap trading? If so, I was just thinking about this; I'll get it done tonight sometime.

                      (could you update the first post, when you have done so?)


                      btw:
                      vox has sent their turn to lux(they have sent it to lego allready)

                      Turn will be here soon.

                      • Ok, sorry, I must have missed the urgency of this mini-map trading thing (keeping up in the GS threads is surprisingly a lot of work!). I'll have the message sent within the hour (it's 12pm GMT now).

                        • Ok, I've sent a PM to both Admiral PJ and Trip. I also just created the diplomatic log thread for LI. You can check out my proposal there.

                          • Assuming they set their Worker to improve tiles around their capital for the first few turns (makes sense), their capital is no further than 7-8 tiles from the isthmus. Something to think about.

                            Also, either they're producing another Worker ASAP to "replace" the other one (severely hampering their growth), or they're putting everything into taking us out in an early rush.

                            • Another possibility, just speculating.

                              Game tiles on forested grassland offer a good mix of food and production without any improvement. I usually chop and mine them, but that doesn't mean everyone does (especially this early). And game tiles on forested plains or cattle on plains can't give any better food or production with improvement than without unless there's water to irrigate. What if we've lucked out and Vox doesn't have water handy? (Do we have any way to get an indication of whether they have water?)

                              With two tiles that do about as well without improvement as with, Vox could have built enough tile improvements to handle two size-2 cities in twelve turns or less, or eighteen turns with only one. That would leave at least about ten turns for their worker to have traveled here. And in that case, as long as their cities build settlers practically the moment they hit size 3, they don't lose much.

                              Also note that a rush at the expense of growth would be very nearly an all-or-nothing gamble for them. If they fail, they probably won't have the production to defend themselves adequately if we return the favor. (Of course if they aren't watching the score and power graphs, they may not realize yet that we have as many cities as they do in spite of detouring for a granary.)

                              • My guess is that they're willing to take a hit in their economy early on to ensure securing the isthmus and, more importantly, build up an early road network for their Immortals. The problem is, they're going to have to get a second Worker to hook up the Iron they probably don't see yet (or have just discovered).

                                All these possibilities indicate that Vox may not be as economically strong as we are (or will be). This is great news (the best since that Settler!).
