Strat Forum PBEM: Game 3 - Thread II

[Dominae]

I am currently Civ3-less and will continue to be so until Thursday evening.

Which Thursday?

[Dominae]

Are people still interested in playing this game? I get the feeling (through diplomatic channels) that we're kind of trudging along here without enjoying ourselves. Either this or everyone is tired of communicating with Dominae of Carthage (who can, admittedly, be long-winded!).

I would be happy to continue along. However, it's clear to me that diplomacy will be very important in the next fifty or so turns (for Carthage, at least), and this can take a lot of work. I know a few of us have other Civ priorites right now, and PBEM games are low on the list.

I would like to hear how you guys feel about this.

I will as usual answer your diplomatic note, when I get the turn next time. It's a better decision making, if the game is on the screen.

[alexman]

Whoever wants to stop the game, say it now. No hard feelings. Otherwise, Dominae, send the save.

You don't have to hold the game for a week to get responses. Perhaps people are avoiding to answer you on purpose, or they just feel that they want to settle things in-game, or they are just too busy. It's better for the game to keep it moving than to settle everything perfectly before sending your turn.

Sent.

My failure to send earlier was a combination of being out in the country (no Civ3 but dialup) for a day here and there and waiting for diplomatic responses. Of course you're right that I should not hold up the turn just for my own benefit.

I'm glad we're continuing, this will prove to be an exciting (if not weird) game.

1000 pardons all. this delay was due largely to the power blackout, or so i'm told by my company. I've sent both games to Dom and have set up a workaround to get at saves on my aol account.
