Open thread for discussion on this game, obviously. [crazyeye]
I'll close the thread in the opponent finding forum, so prevent clutter there. The game is already started so we don't need to find any opponents anyway...
Discuss... :)

I just founded buddhism. How many of you were also shooting for that? Aztecs or Arabs perhaps?
Congrats on the religion. I did think about going for it but with my start another tech was more important.

Lions, panthers and bears....oh my.

Robi keep those dam things by you. None of us want them near us.
Not like i was looking for them. Did think it was odd to find three of them so close together. Scout managed to fight off the lion and bear but the panther finally finished him off.
RIP
Thats a tough scout...despite his dying.

It isn't fixed, AFAIK.
Then everyone should be aware that to get the free tech from the oracle you have to be logged into the game when the turn it is built starts otherwise you miss out.
So I guess i should leave my game on tonight.... ;)

I declared war on a little village. They got scared of my scout though, and gave me money.

The standard rule is you can't until you can trade maps in the game.
yeah i know but didnt know if it was different for this game

Just a heads-up, Stapel will be taking over for me permanently in this game in a week or so. I've filled him in on the diplo circumstances (what little there is of it) and he has agreed to honor existing agreements or at least renegotiate them rather than break them unilaterally.
I'll be honest i thought stapel was in this game anyways, how come your dropping out ID?

No particular reason, just that Stapel's enthusiasm is appealing and I gotta say that once I got my PC going again and all the other problems past me, I found myself thinking "man this is a bit annoying to be in this many games again". I'm in seven at the moment, not counting the original CivIVor OT that at some point we have to finish, along with another four or five 1v1 or 3forall PBEMs, so if Stapel is looking to get into it (particularly given that it is still very early in the Klammi game), so much the better.
Ah ok, was wondering whether you were going through your 'Quit all pitboss' stage again? then much like heroin drags you back you came crawling back a couple of months later ;)
For those of you who were waiting on edge until my return...I'm here. Although I left part of my heart and all of my money in Hawaii. Big thanks to Matrix and Klammi for taking over for me. Looks like they both bumped my score up, so now I'll do my part and bring it back down to reality. I'll post pics in my forum soon for those who'd like a shot of me in a two piece :p

I figured they were your warriors wandering around, it was only when they walked up and started razing things that I figured out they weren't yours.
Fortunately archers and axes were able to put a stop to the vandalism right quick.

yeah... it was getting hung during loading...paused for a good 10 minutes before I killed it. I logged in just now and all is well.
sorry guys, I have serious problems with my server. Nearly spend all the day to fix it without success. The game will be down maybe for some more 20 hours
I made a provisional workaround and now the server is up again. I will not touch it as long as its running and will bother with this later when I have more time.
thanks for the effort klammi :)

I just can't wait to kick the bejesus out of you :D .
Furthermore, I've been working behind my PC all day, so I really had the opportunity to log in at any moment. Other pitboss-games I am in show the same nervous behaviour.
Yeah ive always wondered why you log in like 5 times a turn :S
whilst darkness is out of town can we change turn timer to 15 hours or something? we seem to get our turns done during that time anyways?
When does he come back? There's like more than 10 hours for this turn, and he's the last one.
Darkness, I will put you to AI until you are back again. You made no move since 4 days, so regarding the 72h limit set up in the oobs ruleset I will have to kick you now. Login as soon as you are back
I think you should leave him...thats hardly fair since he told us he was leaving. By you doing that you render any ques he had null. just not right we can have some patience in this since he told us.
i do agree and im fighting him, for that reason i signed a cease fire till darkness gets back
so if he is already AI..we should pull the plug on the game till his return.
Thats my vote and opinion.
well i dont think that, theres no need not to carry on now that i can't take advantage of it, unless anyone else is planning on doing so?
Either way, doesn't matter to me. I'll just go with the flow.
There are plenty of other things happening to keep everyone entertained
I'm considerig to abort this game. One of the players uses tactics that I consider as cheating. Maybe not according to whatever kind of rules there are, but certainly according to sportmensip.
stapel... care to share? Whats heppening?
killercane
07-06-2007, 19:16
The only thing I know is Stapel's not talking about me! Or at least I dont think so. He's at war with a certain Australian I believe.
I am stapel's neighbor in another game so i want to know what sort of code of conduct will I be expected to maintain.
I simply think civ is not the game where one should deceive opponents with the content of PMs or chats. Fact is that I was declared war upon, while being in longer trem peace deal negotiation.
Many of you might say: Hey, as long as no deal was formerly excepted by both sides, all is allowed. I happen to think otherwise. If you plan to go to war (and actually do so), don't send PMs with detailed long term issues. And most certainly don't send PMs that it is talking so long, beacuse of work.... That's simply cowardly treacherous. Simply say you are not interested in a peace deal.
There are other games, like diplomacy, that are perfectlty suitable for such tricks.
Im afraid to say theres little that others can do in this matter stapel, maybe naming and shaming may cause stoppage of whatever is going wrong?
OK. Who contacted who? If you contacted him and he replied..."let me think on it " or "i will send an answer soon." I think he answered. If he contacted you and you never replied...he is within his right to attack since your lack of reply implies that you dont care.( sorta the refuses to talk option in civ)
NOW...if you and he were in active negotiations and things were being discussed then perhaps he is at fault but without seeing the negotiations or knowing who it is.. I wont pass judgement.
killercane
07-06-2007, 22:40
Its just a game, and diplomacy is part of it. Certainly no one wants you to quit, be mad, hold a grudge, or ruin your gameplay experience. The failure to get the other party to sign onto the dotted line is not even close to cheating though. If they break an agreement though, thats another story, and you can get them back in other games in other ways. What comes around goes around.
Just making it public that it was not my scout that declared war on him. Just running from barbs is all :D
I hardly think a scout invasion would cause this reaction....
im scouting with a praet in another game, so depends what the scout is? ;)
Ha, it was just a scout scout, and we have OB :p

Frankly, I have tons of MP experience. However, I usually check up front if we are going to play a high level diplo game, where deception is a feature of the game, or if there is some sort of honourable code. It is my opinion that civ is hardly suited for high-end diplomacy, mostly because the game has so many other things to offer.
Well, don't bother too much. I'm just a bit disappointed that we don't play according to what I thought were standard CDZ codes. Probably just me.
Although I am not in this game, most players in this one also are in the Rule the World Pitboss AND are CDZ regulars (but not all) so imo it makes sense to comment about the issue Stapel rises.
One of the very standard CDZ codes always has been to play sportsmenlike in CDZ PBEMs and MPs. This includes respecting treaties to its intention and no cheating among other things. The whole idea is the player managing the game itself best gets the rewards, not the one best in backstabbing and treason. Also in my experience floating away from this may result in those minor initial issues like not or only partly paying agreed gpt for a resource for example right up to making a fake alliance and invading your partner unprepared. All of this and everything in between really spoils my fun in the game.
I think neither me or Stapel are naieve or don't know MP games played elsewhere follow these principles.
Look at it this way. Cut out the crap and look at the many in-game options Civ offers to beat your oppononents. Including in-game deception.
My 2 cents.
Its easier i find to conduct diplomacy when tech trading is turned off!
killercane
08-06-2007, 20:45
Well I dont know the content of said discussions between Robi and Stapel, but from what I know it looks like pretty standard play, and frankly I dont see what the issue is.
Stapel is sandwiched between Robi and I, and thus in a precarious situation. He committed his units towards me, without getting a treaty with Robi on his backside. This is why I wanted to know diplomatic relations between the two and encouraged Robi to attack while I distracted Stapel. If I have a guy to my back that I dont have a peace deal with, why send all my troops to the other side of my lands? I offered Stapel peace but he was hell bent on war so now he has what he wants.
Just to be very clear. My post is attemting to describe the CDZ code about game play and why, not to judge this specific situation.
Killercane, Robi, and Stapel are all touching borders. Stapel did what he had to do to better his position, Killercane did what he had to do to stay in his position, and Robi did what every red blooded Amer....er...Aussie would have done. Exploit the situation to get a bigger foothold on things. Who knows, maybe a second Southern Alliance will forme....lol In short, if your touching borders at the beginning of the game....get big stick and whack other guy.
I dont think the code has been violated...
I never assume a deal is made till after getting a confirmation. I think thats what happened here. being in negotiations do not make a deal.
To make a few things clear, i agree that you should not cheat or break deals that were made.
I did string Stapel along a bit in discussions but did not make a deal. Personally i was quite surprised he hadn't caught on given the length of time.
There are many way to trick your opponent both through game play and diplomacy and i don't see the difference between the two.
who are you attacking mauer...
I'm at war with myself. I don't need an enemy.
anyone know who 'stapelshelper' is so we can encourage them to hit enter? :)
Given the vast arsenal bearing down on him he might need a bit more than encouragement ;)
Indeed, my scout's in the Robi train right now watching the crap hit the fan. He was bored.

I did. And the cease fire was appreciated. We are now resuming hostilities....
On a general note: I am a bit shocked to see that I was converted to AI. I gave notice a few days before I had to leave and I even tried to get a replacement, so I really fail to see the need to convert me to AI, especially with me being at war with BCLG (who graciously ceased hostilities with me... [goodjob]).
Now the AI completely fucked up the build queue I had set and started building a fucking worker... :( Which essentially leaves me really light on units to try and slow BCLG down for a few turns...
Not a nice way to end this game, IMHO...
darkness that sucks... It also shows how stupid the AI is.

Considering the fact that both Robboo and BCLG commented on my absence and that I had given notice on this forum (even if I didn't do it in this thread), I think that argument is pure semantics, but it's you game, so I'll just accept it the way it is...

I never knew that being at war could be so uneventful
What are you're men just drinking in the old Stapel taverns waiting for his archer's arrows to rust? They could always play some cricket while they wait.
soon war weariness would occur...huh?
i dont see how, since we arn't fighting. Unfortunately killers running late to the party and the engineers are still working on the cats which are having some teething problems so we just wait.
Maybe a game of cricket isn't such a bad idea, how bout it stapel, there is a nice flood plain we can play the match on
So the warmonger is temporarily trading in his billy club for a bat (or the cricket equivalent of)?
I am gogin to have to get an observer up there....we love watching cricket(well not really).

I think he is already taking his frustration out on me in another game [cry]. BTW, does anyone have designs on Christianity in this game? I forgot to check if it had been founded yet.
Buddhism will do nicely for me thank you very much :)
My guess is Christianity is all yours KC. So what am I missing about the turn limit? Am I just being dense?
play another turn....IE keep playing
But I don't use IE, I use Firefox.

It because Klammi extended the finishing time in the game and civstats doesn't understand it properly.
Hit f8 in the game and note the finishing years is 2750AD and not 2050AD:D
Apparently civstats understood it as much as I did but, I'm still using firefox... so there
IE is a geek way of saying..."that is". I was in the middle of writing report for work and was in ultra geek mode. Sorry for the confusion "ice cream man".
What i was trying to say was if the turn timer ends we can always click..."play another turn"
id est, I know....was just making a play off of it. The stupid "ice cream man" wasn't making fun of the important smart dude.
important...no
smart...well thats debateable
I am currently about to lose my job due to politicians who rather give themselves pay raise than support wetland/fish research. Any openings at Blue Bell...I am about to quit this crap and move to hourly labor work...I am sick of looking for work every time the Republicans get in office.
Cajun's need to remember to hit enter when they log in :p, 7 hours or one cajun to go....
[lol] what the coversion ratio of hours to cajuns
Actually, he rolled over the turn and then it turned into one cajun or 20 hours to go! He must have had cajun guests for the holiday, so multiple cajuns increased the ratio. It's ok Rob, it's a busy day and too much moonshine makes a man forgetful.
When I hit enter this morning I left as to not play due to being short on time. I will play now. :) And then play the next turn when i wake up...if i stay whiel it rolls over it kicks me ( did that 2 times already)
again I ended the turn. I am currently not going to DM so I will not play sequential turns. Again I will play tomorrow.
Just poking fun at you Rob :P We need to make fun of somebody other than me every now and then :D
if you've got time rob i just finished my turn so could log in now?
If i do log in after you at any point it'll just be to check things out/move stuff the other side of the empire etc and nothing that affects the battle area.
Oh yeah guys, me and rob=warring, you've been waiting for it since the first 18 player pitboss game!
And so have I, BC. Waiting for you since teh 18 player game.
You have chosen the wrong time. The blood of your troops will fertilize my fields. Guys...this game will slow down now. I will not make a move and allow any time for him to counter in the same turn. I also will not log in just to see where you went. I know how you play BC...and this gives me an advantage by stopping you from adjusting unmoved units.
And to think I traded you copper to fight Darkness...looks like I backed the wrong civ yet again. Good tactic too...stop me form building axes while you do. Not complaining just slick move. Also..if you guys let him kill me..none of you individually can beat him. Those who played in the 18 player game know that I speak the truth. I KNOW one of you is helping him...just waiting for that set of cards to be played. BC is the best player left in this game....IMHO.
/when in doubt beg for help....:D
From your posts you both sound like the other guy attacked you
So who hit who first?
Rob i just said i wouldnt counter move in the post before that [confused]. The only thing i'd do was go in and check things out. I'd prefer if the game didnt slow down that dramatically.
@Robi- it was me :)
HE attacked me. My troops have not entered his territory...yet. I will end the turn, it fits my schedule better playing when I get home. I have been leaving early for work so my morning time is limited.
No worries Rob. You don't wanna die, and you have a life. It happens to the best of us from time to time. Alternately, we could put a shock collar on you, and every time WE want you to play then we give you a buzz :p
Seriously...life has been a bit rough around here. I was 88 days from losing my job until yesterday. I have a new job in the same lab But I have been working my butt off since its our summer field season. I have been very busy preparing my resume and job hunting on my off time. Luckily my boss decided to switch my job to another position which was more permanent. I will play later on as I am a bit busy at the moment(well that computer is being used). Dying in this game will not be the end of the world...losing my job will be the start....now niether will happen
You play at work and home then?
home only..my wife was on the computer that was capable of playing civ.
BC..thats a hell of a stack...
Given your power numbers i'm sure you have a stack of your own Robboo.
Hopefully i'll have a chance to go down there for a look, there is nothing better than a grudge match
hmmmmm could be...
No grudge here. He has beaten me head to head once. And he has been a great teammate in a PBEM and a trustworthy ally in the CDZ pitboss. In that one almost since turn 1. Friendly rivalry.
Same with you but i figured this game we may as well have a war :)
It is a first time we have fought in a pitboss......
Since you played i will go play now to hopefully speed up the turns over the weekend. next week my schedule is back to normal so I will have a bit more flexible playing hours.

Turns up again, sorry for the delay, it was me not Rob this time! Glad the job thing worked out Robboo! Klammi, you going to move those units away from my border or do you want me to remove them for you?[doomsol]
Looks like more fighting on the way then. That would just leave mauer fighting no one
@robboo and Simon, friendly rivalry tend to produce bigger battles, something about bragging rights tends to bring out an extra effort.

Hey killercane, if you would read your diplo messages you would know that I'm not going to attack you, check Civstats. I removed the units from the border, so I hope you remove yours, too. No need for any kind of [doomsol], ok?

Hey I read all my messages... unless you sent in on Civstats or something? Im never logged in on that, lets see if I can check it.
Hurry up Stapel, you only have another 5 turns to play after this one:D
Nola has been renamed Lola, as that's what i was reminded of everytime i saw it. Would have been a nice surprise waiting for me outside rob if i hadnt seen it already :)

Figured you had seen it...its called protection form suicide cats.
NOLA...stand for New Orleans Louisiana. N.O. LA. Being on the river was why I named it that. Now lets see if you took the bait...
Everybody, bar rob taken their turn in 4 hours, impressive guys.
I've noticed that it's been that way several times throughout the last couple of weeks....with varying stragglers here and there. Yes, I was a straggler a time or two in that time frame as well though.

That was like 7 turns ago. Talk about delayed reaction [assw]
3 more turns Stapel:D
Seems Robboo's gone and got himself a pimp.
zzz.. no comment on that ...
well you do what you have to....it was worth that city. :)
I offered you the same deal..
what was worth that city? me and klammi still have perfectly good relations. :)
Well..it did. distance factor reduced and few cities to spread troops out over. :)
Anyone else want a city??? /joking
That longbow ain't going to help you Stapel.
Next turn your last one.
The villa is gone. Good game Stapel.
@ robboo, looks like we have a new vassel man[lol]
gets regentman off the hook
yeah except klammi isnt actually doing anything...I needed to gift a city so i tacked that on in the hopes of some support...I did it more to help ease my financial strain due to distance. looks like i choose the wrong guy.
In addition,I have started a scorched Earth policy as BC advances...every improvement will be burnt to the ground. Why ...well thats the just the kind of guy I am. You remove me but I wont let you get fully functioning cities..also the holy city will NOT be higher than 1 pop when you get it(should auto raze right?) You can have it BC if you care to bargin.

*Shutting up now before he kills me in Civivor.
Was capitulation to Simon ever an option ? Just curious, I can't see what's going on over there.
Oh, and farewell Stapel! You held on for quite some time there [beer1]

Thats cool, i'll just grow them back, i especially like that your using units that would otherwise be getting fortification bonuses but otherwise no worries. And no the city wont autoraze as it has culture in.
Robb- from what I understand, BC has promised no double moves, and no counter moves on the same turn. So why not just hit enter?
then he wouldnt be able to move at all if the turn rolls over.
Too bad! I couldn't survive any longer...

That'd be a good enough reason I spose.
Mauer...BC answered...I need to actually move. I tried to stay in the game but due to a difference of opinion between us, BC has decided to kill me off. I offered to join him and his ally, I offered 3 cites...BUT he said "Sorry I rather have a larger CIV."
I am open to negotiations at any time but I wont waste my time or his with PMs that wont lead anywhere. I wont be home for another few hours so i cant press enter right now. And I am fighting so I havent given up. I just wont leave "aged" cottages for him.
Just took my turn rob if it makes it any easier for you to play this one :)
Well that was wierd. The game kicked me out halfway through taking my turn then i couldn't get back in for an hour even though the game was working[???]
I was able to eventually get in and finish my turn so its upto robboo now
robi..its done that to me a couple of times.
played BC. so you should be waiting on me for after work in about 12 hours. The game was going fasster prior to my war simply because I was double moving.
killercane..I may advise you also but I cant promise not to kill you in civor.
THe game is going pretty fast anyway, the past few days we have been doing 2 turns within a 24hr period which is great given the diversity of timezones

Well your stack is diminishing, Ive figured out a way to connect some resources, my cultural defense is going up to 60%, and I still have some lead in my pencil yet! War chariots can pop up from anywhere...
My grandpa said he's still got lead in his pencil too. Don't think he was quite referencing the same thing as you though.

Just played rob if you want to go in :)
playing now.. so want to perhaps deal....
Sweet, 2 on 2. Robi, wanna flip a coin to decide which team we're on?

explain mauer? You can PM me...I cant seem to chat in game since I am a vassal...Didnt know that. So all my offers to BC cant go throught.
Either hurry and kill me or declare peace...either way would speed up the game so i can play my turns when ever instead of having to wait.
There you go Robb....a good screenie for the lurkers too
Well your a vassel robboo, its up to klammi to make the decisions [lol]
Anyway your 10 turns should be nearly up so you can cancel your vassel statues
Rob a DM clause means you can't do anything before i do- that includes adding promotions. It's no massive deal just means i get that city one turn later than i would have just annoying.
I didnt think adding promotions was a move. Hence why I asked about your definition which involved "movement" .Annoying is giving someone copper(traded for gold) for 10 plus turns while they fight and then waiting for them to return from a trip to discuss the future relations to find out they have been planning your demise the whole time...thats annoying.
Oh and if you think that promotion was annoying wait to you see the little surprise have for you in the next few turns and thats without doing a DM. I wont go down easy.
I've been under the impression that a no DM rule meant that you literally didn't do anything on the new turn until the other person had finished their turn. Which is why I have a hard time understanding the not finishing your turn thing. According to my understanding, which could be flawed I'll readily admit, a no DM should be Player A takes a turn, Player B takes a counter turn...etc, etc, etc...
Ok rob, at least i now have something to bring up every five minutes when something doesn't go my way.
I can only imagine your refferring to your keshiks and chariots circling around as you have next to nothing else.
mauer.. I end turn 5. Then BC has to play on turn 6 before I can play on turn 6. If I press enter, I then dont get to move.
BC.. I am only stating facts. EVERY single thing I said in that last post was a fact. I asked for your specific definition and you stated "movement" not every single action. I follow all my agreements to the exact letter. And no thats not the surprise since someone is giving you my troop locations...I have to give them something to watch.

Hey Klammi, sorry I didnt take my turn in time, I have dysentery or something. 2 things, I rolled over the turn and went again and took Lahore (after seeing that you had played after the 12 hour DM limit). If this is not ok we can restart I just figured it was more advantageous for you not to lose more units, ie the lb and archer that are coming up.
2nd thing is I kept getting an Out of Sync message with the server so I dont know even if the turn went through. It was a weird red message that popped up and was difficult to see requesting someone to reconnect? Anyone know what this is?
just happens everynow and then cane i think
Sorry, Casey, I have to rollback the game. We said no double moves, and thats just what you did. You had been the last movin at 580 and did captured my city in 600 after 3 mins. Please give me at least 12 hours to move after you did your turn in war time.
killercane
18-07-2007, 23:14
My bad, I was unsure what to do and my understanding was a rollback isnt hard to do or would inconvenience anyone. In this instance, waiting for you to move benefits me (and its convenient) so I didnt think you would mind (in other words, I dont benefit from the double move). Also the game would move faster. So sorry if I held the game up but that was my thinking.
this is why I said I was not in favor of any rules that arent coded.

18-07-2007, 23:53
I think Simon is the only one who has to redo their turn. And for the record, I came out immensely better the second time as I didnt have a unit die at 98% odds this time around.
Don't rub it in or anything...
killercane
19-07-2007, 00:12
:D
I came out 21 gold less not as rich but meh.
Klammi, are you patching? I hadn't planned on patching until it was absolutely necessary....ie I can't play games with anyone.
game went down whilst i was in it.
I think Klammi fixed it already.
