Sticks and Bones- LA, intermediate players (running)

I was actually going to suggest the same. Sounds good to me.

[yandav]

I fear that my turns may become quicker and quicker to play . Anyway, I'm ok with 48h.

You are playing well but you are losing because you don't do any diplo. It's true for all the 3 games we are both involved (and in war )

Thanks for being a great opponent and for fighting 'til the end.

See u !

I finally got some time to respond. TC attacking me was key, because I had to use too many resources beating him off, and was weakened versus Abysia and C'tis. If I had been given a bit more time to consolidate and research, I think I could have held the two of you off.

What was up with that, anyway? Did one of you convince TC to commit suicide, or was it lone bad judgment?

I will note that no one who has ever attacked me first has ever won a Dominions game. For that matter, all but one of them has been eliminated before me, and the lone exception was Atlantis, who could hide in the water.

We'll see if R'lyeh in Colonial Conquest can beat the trend.

no he took his decision alone and i joined him because you didn't let me have one land i asked for =p (like in colonial where we are in war for one or 2 seas ^^)

As a matter of policy, I don't engage in appeasement. If you offered me balanced deals, then I might actually accept.

Oh, I'm not talking about whether the three of you can defeat me (probably, but not necessarily), but whether R'lyeh will be the ultimate beneficiary. I rather doubt that you will be better off in the end than if had you started a war with someone else -- you could have completely crushed Abysia, for example.

[Bullock]

Yandav ?? i hope he s not dropping of this game.

[Bullock]

Please don't let Ctis stall... If you think he's a leaver ask Ossa to sub, he might be interested.

[Hurmio]

Looks like C'tis staled. Shall we wait for Yandav to come back or try to find a sub? Playing without a C'tis player will brake this game.

[Groundworm]

Sorry... I had been extending the turn, but apparently not enough, and I missed the deadline.

Let's give Yandav till the end of this turn. If he hasn't taken this turn before it's due, then I'll extend the timer by a week and we'll look for a sub. After that, we'll have to talk about what we want to do, because I'd really rather not delay for more than a week. At this point, where the game is beginning to become micromanagey, some of us might not want to get back to it after that.

Also, I PM'ed yandav to see what's going on and if he's planning on continuing.

What do you all think?

[Bullock]

100% agreed.
