Serious lack of motivation on my part, having half the players drop is tough. You're really the only person to write decent orders too.

Don't lose hope: If you keep updating you might get more people to join back in. Besides, thus far this NES has been fun, and the people that do remain would like to see it continue.

Exactly :) Players will always drop out, its not the good old days. But if the game continues more will join and the story will go on.

What would motivate you in the thread? More diplomacy? Stories?

What's this precious?

We're making our own civ3!

You might want to mention the players spoken to in the NPC diplo, as I don't think the others realized it was toward them.

I will eventually. Its always a balance with engagement. I don't want to get into the point of carrying it too much.

Regarding the other players and NPC diplomacy, you could say Dal Ariadi just didn't get a response from Uladh and... Tyr Connail is an NPC nation iirc, so you can have them just respond to Ariadi yourself, right?

TEN YEARS! Oh man it is good to be back. So much has changed. So much of the forum a barren wasteland. Time to spruce the place up. Do you still DYOS?

In spirit, if not necessarily in regular output. :P
Though I slapped together a little side project this month:
