OFT (One Free Tech) Game

[Dimytes]

I doubt that troll was hit by the capitol-distance-delayed-unhappiness-issue since it must have been his capitol that rioted since his civ was destroyed.

So if it was not a city growth + settler + riot thing, then I have a few suggestions what could have happened.

Did the city have any food stored the turn before? If not, it could have starved to death.

Also, if you spend too much money your people will get upset.

It can also be a combination of above situations.

ohhh
i completely misunderstood this. i didnt get the clue that you were DEAD troll ?


i would suggest to just replay the turn as this really seems unfair.
just what exactly do you have learned from looking at the turns, troll ? anything about the other players ? if not, i suggest to just do the decisive turn again...
but then again, that would be a little bit against the rules. but if we all agree on it... i see no problem.

I'm happy to replay the turn... Except that Troll said that he has looked through our turns now, so he'd have to promise to forget all that he saw .

turn 16 sent to Protoss for now, but i have no problems going back to that decisive turn should that be wished.

oh, now i reread trolls post and i realized he meant he looked at ALL OUR TURNS, probably also knowing our chosen techs.
unfortunately, one cannot forget something one saw. so i think it is better if we continue without him.

it would be possible, however, to go back and let someone else play his nation.

sad thing.

That really stinks...

You know, I'd be fine, with as early as we are, to simply restart the game from the very start.

I like my starting position... in fact, I love it (mountains, rivers, and goods, oh my!), but part of what got me to sign up for this game was to have a chance to see just what the Troll does in his games and learn some strategy.

What say everyone on that?

Turn received BTW... should I hold onto it until I find out more info?

[Mathemagician]

i'd say it was troll's choice to look at our turns instead of bringing up the issue first so we might have gone back a turn. also, he now has additional information about our tech choices, even for another game. forgive me for being a competitive player who wants to win.
so no restart. replacement for troll and 2 turns back now seem to be the best possibility to keep it to 6 players. else we should just play on with 5.

/me sighs.

Probably right... though there are a couple of other techs I was thinking about going with that I was simply planning on switching to.

Oh well.

[Mathemagician]

well, i was quite sure about my tech and i would probably choose the same in another game.

[FlameFlash]

Anybody else have opinion on the matter or should I just play the turn and have us move on?

[Mathemagician]

id say play on. so far it seems at least unlikely to me that we will restart or even go back.

[FlameFlash]

/me nods.

righty-o

[Mathemagician]

okay, so gimme turn...

ahh wives... no understanding for man's need to reign the world. just for those little presents he can give them when he reigns the world, like a couple of slaves, a pair of diamond-studded shoes or something, ...
