Somewhat. The problem is it still looks halfway like diplomacy. Of course, there's the chance that you could use it that way

. But I know that you wouldn't, wraithlord. In any case I think what you've done is fine, but it's just really difficult to talk about this game. It's a bit sad, that's part of the fun part of the game for me, talking to other people about what's happening. But eh, what can you do. Anyway go ahead and make postings like what you've done. I can't condemn it and you're right, it's certainly publically available. Anyway, the game is certainly in interesting territory right now. I'm anticipating a possible ending now, and I'm still not sure what's going to happen. I'be b een sadly a bit out of touch with the players lately due to various events going on in my life right now, which I most certainly regret, but I realize there's not a lot I can do about that. It's just sad the game thread is suffering as a result.

Yes. I see your point.
I think just to be safe I'll refrain from any such posting here. Indeed sad for game thread but better safe than sorry. Anyone interested can just check the score tables for the game.

It's a shame that such interesting games with lots going on are so quiet so all the heroic deeds end up unknown and forgotten.

It would appear that TNN has gone AWOL and went AI last turn. They're a pretty big nation, and I really don't think that an AI of that size is acceptable for this game. I'm going to go ahead and see if I can't find a sub/convince the original player to come back and do a rollback. If I can't find one though, we'll have to consider whether we want the game to continue or not in light of TNN's abdication and subsequent damage to the balance of power.

How can we consider what we want to do?- It looks like a catch 22. We can't deliberate this in any way w/o compromising our ID. Perhaps a private voting of remaining players would work?

rdonj · #5 May 17th, 2011, 01:04 PM

Yeah, we'd need a private vote with everyone tellibng me what thyey want,and I can release the results publically.

As an aside, TC has declared that it's not interested in seeing a rollback either. This being the case, it would seem that a vote as to whether or not to continue the game should take place now regardless of whether I can convince anyone to keep TNN in the game or not.

Evidently we decided to cont.
May we know who was TNN player who went AI?

rdonj · #7 May 18th, 2011, 07:11 AM

Actually no, the game is officially over. I was just waiting back to hear from everyone still. Today I heard from fomoria, who a few other people's votes were contingent upon, and the consensus seems to be that TC was going to win soon and there was no point in going through the effort of finding a sub to continue the game. Good game everyone. Congratulations TC on your victory!

Here's my player list:

1. Yomi - Dimaz
2. C'tis - Calahan
3. R'lyeh - WraithLord
4. Ulm - WingedDog
5. Atlantis - Isokron
6. Fomoria - Slobby
7. Ermor - Alpine Joe (temp subbed by vfb) (subbed by valerius)
8. Kailasa - TwoBits

10. Mictlan - Frozen Lama
11. Tir na n'Og - Agusti
12. Arcoscephale - Don Pablo
13. Hinnom - Danbo

Doesn't everyone already know? Since the TNN player revealed his identity before the game even started. (or at least he did to those paying attention)

And mainly posting to congratulate the TNN player on the most pointless ever existence in a MP game of Dominions, as your presence in this game was the most utterly pointless waste of time I have ever witnessed in my 3+ years of playing MP games. You really should get an award for it I reckon, as it truly was masterful the way you managed to do nothing at all the entire game.

I do not understand why people even bother playing MP games if they have no intention what-so-ever of interacting with the other nations in the game. If you want to play a sandbox game, then go fire up Sim City or Sim People or whatever. If you are just happy to survive, then go play some Tower Defence game. But most of all keep out of MP games, as your "sit there and do nothing" approach for 80+ turns isn't wanted by anyone (who enjoys playing good MP games).

Edit - Ah, rdonj jumped me it seems with the final list. Congrats to TC on the win.
