Sent - and got this response from Robboo:

Let me think about the timing. Which in your mind woudl look less supicious. Declaring peace now or waiting a few turns.

Let me look at my situation. It may be better if teh turn we declare peace I can attack Piffle.

I will get back to you soon.

Thanks. Just dont pay to much attention to what I say in public. My avator should be "Bagdad Bob."

So that sounds good.
I guess we'll just wait to hear back from him... unless anyone here has some suggestions on timing etc?

Updated note from Robboo:

I took teh peace treaty. However...you didnt get that tech from me.

I will plan on hitting Piffle in a few turns so if you are planning to gift galleons do it outside of their view. They claim to have...a dozen units that are offensive so if thats the case. I should be able to rape and pillage at will. When i go...there will not be anything left in my homeland except for garrisons. just build the UN so I can start devoting my time to Colonization or perhaps a new team demo game.

@Memphus - when do you think we can gift him the galleons?

Otherwise, I think it's just grab the popcorn, and watch the UN sprout out of the ground and enjoy the fireworks down south

 

[Memphus]

Galleons are on their way 2 galleons and 1 transport.

Oh we also have 6 marines stationed in Piffle's south if someone gives me the word (loaded onto ships and can take thier 2 coastal cities)

 

[General_W]

by "on their way" do you mean "delivered this turn" or "will deliver next turn" or... ?

 

[Memphus]

1 next turn, then 1 eahc turn there after

 

[General_W]

Got it. Thanks!

new letter in from Robbo:

HEy you guys could abstain to kill PIffle . first. IF you do I promise to sit down with you guys and lay a marathon session to end this game.. your call

I'm not so sure about this... I'd probably vote to just end things now like we've been planning... but you're the main player Memphus.
What do you think?

 

[Memphus]

i responded asking him to transtlate that. marathon session? the game is over in 3 turns.

why would he not want to kill Piffle? i do

 

[General_W]

I think he means we won't get to fully kill Piffle after we win the vote.

Ie - we should abstain from the vote - so that we can 100% destroy Piffle.
Then Robbo will play a marathon session with you to play the game to it's end.... since Epsilon and Aloha would be the only two teams left at that point.

EDIT: I suppose it's mostly up to you, if you want to play that marathon session or not.

 

[Memphus]

doesn't matter to me but the sooner we end the game the better for all no?

 

[General_W]

I tend to agree. Robbo really wants the joy of burning those last few Piffle cities... but if he has to settle for just clobbering past them into 2nd place, I think he'll probably live

From my point of view - the sooner we can start discussion on a BtS MTDG, the better for most everyone.
But if you want the personal satisfaction of pulling in the Domination win - and are willing to commit the time required - then it probably wouldn't actually prolong the game TOO much. (assuming you guys can actually transfer this game into a PitBOSS type situation? )

 

[Memphus]

ummm well when i hit enter it said we won??

 

[Methos]

ummm well when i hit enter it said we won??

It's over then?

 

[General_W]

seems kinda anti-climactic!

But Go TEAM!

I'm going to see if I can put together an Victory video before the week is over.
Will we need the turn to go around full circle before I can get the end replay video thing?

 

[General_W]

ok - I just opened the save and had a look.

Memphus is right (no surprise!) our victory is unavoidable.

However - I think we should really ask each team to play one more turn - because we won't get the actual victory screen until the next save comes around.
If I can get that, I'd like to try to use it to make a video for The Leader as a proper send-off for this game.

 

[Memphus]

ok ill send it off then

 

[robboo]

dang guys 4 more turns. Nice working with you. Worked out pretty well for both our teams in the end.
