How's going?

It seems like the winner of Game #1 will be the winner of the tournament, since it seems like the other games has slowed too much down, one game even coming to a halt where it seem like there haven't been any turns played since the middle of May... and another game stopped at June 1st, because one decided to go on hollyday for 16 days, without getting a replacement...

Seems like game #1 can take a 6 months brake, and still be able to finish this game before any of the other games


What happened to the 24-hour rule? I can't go check up on all games, to see if they're running smoothly, you have to do something also...

well game 4 is still going

[Adagio]

That means 2/5 of all games are going...

yes it is rather sad news indeed

maybe you need to deputize Rommel2D to chase these players up.

another idea would be for the admin to step in and literally leave all cities, infrastructure and units in ruins, for those players that do not want to play with the 24 hour rule.

yes some games could have instant winners, but that is still a good thing. some games may have no winner

give each player a few days to respond, then remove them from the game

we are far enough into the comp that if they really wanted a replacement player they could have organised one.

commitments were made in good faith by many

it is a shame that so others have / are paying a price

some may think this is all a harsh option, but so many came rushing in wanting to play, and the truth of the commitment that was required was well discussed before the first games were ever started.

Apathy is a danger to any Civ, whether in RL or in a PBEM

I agree with PtS.

[smellymummy]

yup, great suggestion paddy. I say we make it happen

Sounds like a solution, though from what I've seen, it looks like one game is down to one player now

I require everybody to respond to this thread, posting:

Game #
Nation (in the game)


Those who haven't responded in a few days, will have to get kicked out...
The rule was clear from the start, that they had to keep an eye on the main thread, so no excuses if they don't show up

In about 1 week there'll be consequenses for those who haven't posted here, unless I see their game is running well... like the 4th player in game 1 (jshelr) don't have to worry, since our game is still running well...

...but I'd still like to have everybody posting their information here, so I can see they're reading this topic...
