Clive2 - Random Monarch

America sounds good. When you get the ability to do so, though, it may be a good idea to attack Spain (even if you can't destroy them), otherwise you may end up with a runaway AI.
 
:bump:

Are you there chuckdizzle ?

It's been 36 hrs since I posted the roster.
If I don't see a 'got it' by 7-30 am London time it will be 48 hrs the roster so it will then move on to YanksGiant87.

Roster

Noldodan
Louis XXIV
Sir Clive
DBear (Just played)
ChuckDizzle (up)
YanksGiant87 (on deck)
 
Sorry, computer's broken. I'm going to have to withdraw. I'm posting from campus.

GL, guys.
C.D.
 
OK YanksGiant - you're up !

Roster

Noldodan (on deck)
Louis XXIV
Sir Clive
DBear
ChuckDizzle (skipped)
YanksGiant87 (up)

ChuckDizzle - sorry to hear about your computer problems. Are you out permanently or just this turn ?

@the rest of the team. What do you want to if ChuckDizzle is out permanently ? Advertise for one more player or stick with 5 of us ?
 
I would like to see if we can get one more player if it comes to that.
 
Yanks Giant said he would play tonight (it's now 18-45 Eastern time I think)
so I will assume he is playing in the next 5-6 hours.

If there is no response when I check tomorrow morning UK time (i.e 03-30 Eastern Time) , I'll assume he has a problem and will skip him .

If you do have a problem YanksGiant , just let us know ASAP . If you have just done 5 turns (for example) but haven't had time to finish the full 10 , just post it anyway !

I'm going to add Admiral Kutzov to the game since I know he plays promptly and will be a good addition to the roster from my (limited) experience of SGs.
We could do with another idiot on board :)

Welcome AK !

I'll put you before ChuckDizzle whom we think has abandoned.

Am afraid I'm going to have to skip you YanksGiant.

OK - I don't like imposing strict playing conditions but it does get to be a pain if we are all sitting around waiting for someone and I don't want this game to die.

So I'm going to impose the following -

1) 36 hrs gotit. If you are up you MUST post a 'gotit' within 36 hrs of the last person posting the save game link . Otherwise you will be skipped.

2) 72 hrs - 96 hrs play. You have 3-4 days to play from the time the save was posted (NOT from the time of the 'gotit') . You MUST post something within 48 hrs of the 'gotit' (even if it is '(My cat died/ I have too much work / I have been out partying for 3 days and I haven't played a turn yet) but I will play and post in the next 24 hrs' ). We'll then give you another 24 hrs

Also remember

1) If you start but then something comes up it is perfectly acceptable to post 4/5/6/7 turns rather than the full set.

2) If you are going to skip please let us know whether it is a skip or a dropout. Then we can advertise for another player.

Please let m know if anyone is unhappy with this :)

Got it. 3-4 days sounds a little long for playing... maybe 2-3?

I do agree Noldodan - in the other 2 SGs I have played in we didn't have problems with people going missing so I am not really used to this.

I'm assuming 1 day to get it and assess , 1-2 days playing (may be needed when the turns get longer and / or someone has to postpone due to RL and due to the fact that some of us are in different timezones ) and 1 day leeway

Don't forget , I normally play weekday evenings in the UK. If I post a completed turn 11pm London time, someone on the East coast of the US may not pick it up until they get back from work / college until (let's say) 6/7pm US time, which is 11pm/12pm London time the next day . So that is a day gone already.

That's why I want people to post something if they have a problem playing quickly.

If someone gets it and then doesn't post anything for 48 hrs I will skip them . If they say after 36hrs of the gotit that they will be finished tomorrow then that is fine by me.

I'm on the internet more often than not but I do appreciate there are some people who may only get on once every couple of days.

But let's just hope we can all keep it moving :)
 
In an effort to get things moving ;), I took a look at the save. IMHO, science can be dropped to 50% and we still secure eng in 3. I would stop building temples, libraries and concentrate on boats, markets and CH. FP takes too long at this point. Make that puppy a market or CH. We have enough military except for MI. Suggest we start building MI to go attack something. We don't need more defense (i.e. no pikes). Any city that is not building infra should build worker, treb or boat. Where are the spanish? I couldn't find the Iberian peninsula even with google. Please, someone play.

Spanish appear to be directly to the north of us - at least that is where their boats are coming from.

There is only shallow water between us and them - I would suggest getting a galley up there to se what they look like although I know the answer - strong :(

They have GLIb, they have about as much culture as everybody else put together and they have 17 cities.

You've had 72 hours since the roster was posted Noldodan.

Are you playing ? If there is no response by the time I get back from work / pub tonight you will be skipped

I may well abandon this game soon - it's been over a week since anyone played and I am getting bored :(
 
I can join if you need me or if there are other dropouts. I would hate to see this game go.

Thanks Viper - Although 7 players seems quite a lot for a standard map I want to get this moving, so welcome !

I will assume now that ChuckDizzle is lost without trace so I will remove him from the roster. Not sure what has happened to Noldodan , but he is now skipped since he hasn't responded to either of the last 2 bumps so

Revised roster

Noldodan
Louis XXIV (up)
Sir Clive (on deck)
DBear
Admiral Kutzov
Viper275
YanksGiant87 (out - back Weds)
