That has probably made a huge difference by preventing him from eliminating any other nations. This really throws into perspective for me the importance of fighting to the last. Thanks to Calahan and tgbob for teaching me this.

My thanks should go to you then Trumanator for observing, listening and learning, just what a huge difference not going AI really does make. I wish more players could be enlightened

And the best way you can thank me (and tgbob) in return is by adopting a stead-fast "never turn-AI policy". As anyone who plays with that great attitude is more than welcome to play in any future games that I organise

Baalz:

Yeah, you are probably right. Instead of talking too much here I should have just turned AI 10 turns ago, without saying anything.

Well, I dare say merely disrespecting your fellow players by quitting in a tantrum is a marginal improvement over disrespecting your fellow players by spoiling the RAND rules and insulting them all as well.

When you don't know what problems other people are struggling with or what they are preparing to do, you've got no right deciding they are making bad strategic choices.

I have just returned from my trip, it took some time to read through the thread. Zeldor's behaviour is unexeptable, and I hope nobody else playing this game is going to copy it. I'm repeting myself, but the best thing you can do if the interest for the game is lost - is to inform admin about it. Breaking the rules of the game you signed for, or throwing iunsubstantiated insults at other players neither adds you a credit as a good player nor increaces community reputation. IMO Executor had solved the situation the best way it could be solved.

Executor
I have another trip 14-23 August, would you be able to administrate the game again? From what I heard you did great job so far.

Executor · #5 August 10th, 2009, 03:10 PM

Yeah, I'm here.

Can I ask who the original Caelum and Shinuyama players were? Since both have now been eliminated.

statttis · #7 August 10th, 2009, 04:41 PM

I was Caelum. I think the score graphs show pretty well what happened to me

. Congrats to Eriu on a perfectly timed attack.

Stretch · #8 August 10th, 2009, 06:30 PM

I was Shinuyama for the last 8 turns or so (once they had been reduced to 6 or 7 provinces).

WingedDog · #9 August 10th, 2009, 10:58 PM

Shinuyama was ruled originly by Cerlin, until turn 37.

Calahan · #10 August 11th, 2009, 03:26 AM

thanks WingedDog. Confused me for a moment as I couldn't see any 'Cerlin' signed up for this game. But then I traced your 'Hot Swap' post for the answers.
