Who Has the Game Save? Part II

[OliverFA]

In exceptional events like this one of Apolyton not working for 4 hours I think it's ok to extend the 24 hour limit. However, this is one of the few cases in which I agree with that.

I am not against GS or any other team, but Beta is right when he says that the game as a whole is suffering from turns being delayed so often and could cause a loss of interest. So I would also please demand that everyone made an effort to speed things up a bit. I'm the first that won't agree to play every turn in just 1 hour, but we could find a good middle point between those two sides.

We acknowledge to the fact that we have been slow to say the least the last couple of turns. We will really do our best to make sure we will play faster (debating, polling etc. will be just as slow, but Nathan will move the units faster ).

Seriously, we'll do our best.

[nbarclay]

If other teams were as slow as we are, we'd be able to get more planning done between turns.

Seriously, we've been caught very much by surprise, not just at Vox's choice to attack us but at how big Vox's forces are turning out to be. And while we definitely like our prospects for eventual victory, our current force levels force us into some tricky choices. That is further complicated by the fact that we don't know from one turn to the next what Vox's next moves will be or what additional reinforcements will show up.

In theory, we could spend the time between turns doing contingency planning for the various moves Vox might make, and we do in fact do a certain amount of that. But if we spend all our available time during our turns on the game, and all our available time between turns on the game, when do we get to have time for anything else?

I'm hoping that before long, things will reach a point where it is less difficult to figure out what our best moves are, or at least less critical that we make the best choices possible. Then things should speed up considerably for us, at least most of the time. But the last few turns, we've had some pretty tough decisions to make, and even the time between turns plus 24 hours (less work and sleep) for the turn itself hasn't always been enough to reach a genuine consensus.

Understood.

Vox is only trying to keep the game interesting. And it only gets better.

[Tiberius]

For Vox: I'm sure Vondrack has announced you, but just to be sure:

Please send the saves for Legoland in the next few days (until Vondrack returns) to the following address, too.

tibi.k(at)xnet(dot)ro

Beta, are you sure you've sent it to the right address? I didn't get it yet.

Here's an alternative address, if for some strange reason you can't send it to the first one:
tibi_k(at)email(dot)com

[Shiber]

I don't think we're in any position to complain.

[Wittlich]

Beta mentioned in our private forum that he was leaving town for the day...so he will probably not get your message Tiberius until tomorrow.

That means you would break the 24 hour rule, wouldn't ?

Could perhaps someone else from Vox send it?

[Wittlich]

Alas, I wish I could Tiberius, but Beta - being the master mind that he is - performed quite a few masterful moves on our last turn....and I don't believe that I, or anyone else on our team can replicate them like he did.

Besides, shouldn't the blame for the hold-up go to your team? After all, if you've had valid email address(es) we wouldn't be in the current hold up now would we? Don't get me wrong, I'm not pointing fingers...just restating the facts as they are.

[Tiberius]

Huh? My email address is very valid. I'm involved in many PBEM games and I'm happily sending and receiving several civ saves per day.

I don't blame anyone and I expect the same things from others. It's just an unfortunate incident.

Happy Easter to everyone

[Beta]

Hello - I'm back. Very sorry guys. My "sent" messages shows the save as leaving at 7:39 edt yesterday morning. Sorry it did not make it out from my end or in at yours.

Resending now.
