Bloodless - Less micro game [running] - Page 7

Thanks! We use fins and masks and snorkels. We stay no more than 5 to 10 seconds underwater at a time, then have to go back up to grab some air, then down again. When you're sprinting underwater, you can't really stay under for more than a few seconds. And a game lasts 30 mins, so the oxygen debt builds up. Check it out, maybe you have a club near you

Interesting; I figured exerting yourself like that you'd burn through oxygen quick but didn't realize you surfaced that often.

I think I'd first need to forge myself a ring of water breathing. Too much time playing Dominions and not enough exercising.

I have to say I lost all my interest in Dom3.
Just don't have the patience to spend hours to figure out how to make battle scripts effective or just plan forging a few turns ahead - and that's essentially what it needs to be a good player.

I got about zero fun from the games I played lately.

Just getting a turn done late and in a very short time.

I started the game before I realized all this.

Sorry to hear that P3D. I know this game was an attempt to reduce micromanagement but a lot (most) of it is inherent to the game and once you reach the late game it can easily become tiresome. It's less fun to manage dozens of thugs and SCs and armies than it is to manage just a few of them.

Will you post for a sub? And will you keep playing until a sub is found?

Can I request for an extension? 48 hours would be nice, but I can work with 24 hours. I live in the Philippines and we've been hit by a 42 year flood. Me and my family suffered minimal damage, but our office and friends were flooded, so have been busy. I'm able to log in to post, but no real time to do a good turn.

Might give a chance for P3D to find a sub.

Btw, it looks like Ulm has a big lead right now. I've been hoping to stall him until Pythium defeats Eriu and help me out against him, but if Pythium goes AI, I think the game is won by Ulm, unless Tien Chi and Eriu dogpiles him.

Mictlan

I've delayed hosting by 48 hours. If, as seems to be the case, P3D will not submit any more turns then we will need the time to find a sub. Good luck dealing with the flood.

I'd agree with this analysis. At the moment Pythium and I are stalemated. Ulm is getting stronger with every turn and is the clear winner if things were to end now.

Well... yes. Though I didnt expect to end up in such a strong position, my money would also be on Ulm for this game.

Actually I've so far been pretty diplomatic and I dont know whether I'd like to see this final dogpiling - so if anyone of you calls to end this game I'd be fine with it.

Of course we can see how things evolve after Mictlan has been swallowed

Any other opinions on this? I enjoy playing Eriu but my chances of victory are very slim. I'm fine with ending it. If we do end it I think Ulm should get the victory.

Valerius · #9 September 29th, 2009, 10:52 PM

That's three votes in favor of ending it. Dragar, any objections?

Valerius · #10 September 30th, 2009, 03:27 PM

I've postponed hosting by another 24 hours in anticipation that we'll probably call it a game.
