please feel free to demonstrate

there's cookies in it for you...

[archaeolept]

well, that was an interesting battle. I was probably lucky, being able to shrug off so many paralyzes and the like.

looks like that cost you a full turn's forging ;p

[Executor]

This time I'm the spectator. A nice change.

[archaeolept]

Executor, no NAP should hold in a situation such as this - there is always an implicit exception for force majeure. At present trends it looks like all opposing dominion will be destroyed in 4 turns, maybe 5.

I'm open also to other alternatives, if you guys want to continue fighting w/out having the game end. Or, otherwise, when the dom wave crushes everything in its path, we could declare a joint victory - there's not much honour gained by winning w/ Hinnom

though I am looking forward to fighting some of R'lyeh's SCs. I've never even seen a chayot before

pardon the voice from the past, i was just checking in to see who was winning this game and saw archaeo's post
- how did Hinnom get such an overwhelming dominion especially relative to niefel who seems to have about the same number of provinces? just curious as I have never seen a player domkill someone who still had so much land...

[archaeolept]

the kids weren't paying attention to dominion - and Hinnom can dom push w/ the best of them.

since serious dominion flood attacks are so rare, it is easy for people to underestimate their potential ferocity. It is not that abnormal to think that dominion is mostly just some minor bonus or malus.

[DonCorazon]

yeah, i fit into the bucket you described although i have been focusing on dominion more in other games but mostly b/c i have been playing more often with awake pretenders where those extra white candles are key. but it still surprises me you could domkill a huge nation - god knows i had trouble trying to domkill QM down to just a few provinces in artifacts and I had blood sacrificing vans. interesting to see it work on a grander scale - would be nice to see more games end with large domkills to avoid the late game fatigue and since it is somewhat thematic.

[Executor]

Wow, I staled the last turn (don't have much time due to New Year and school, yes a kid I am compared to most dom players) but I never saw anyones dominion grow this fast. Didn't hink it was possible really, I never used dom kill properly even with Mictlan.
Interesting, never been dom killed before, although I did take only 4 dominion, I really dislike Niefelheim, really,really.
I'm fine either way, just wanna see this game over. And yeah you're right Arch, if I had seen my dom cut in half sooner I'd probably ignore the NAP, as would have done with AN,AC,Burden of time and similar situations.

[archaeolept]

well, I don't think putting up AC would count as reason to vitiate the NAP, given that you payed for most of it ;p

[Executor]

Well not in this situation, but in general.
