Flev's Replacement - Raging Barbarians

Ha ha! Laugh - I nearly died!

Don't give up your day job to be a stand up comic ;)
 
That's only because I pop round and see her when you are at work ;)

Hmmm, awkward.

I have appealed to someone's better (and strategic) nature,
but I can't really order people how to play.

At this stage of this game, I would not do what you think he will do, for a number of reasons.
However, I am not he.
 
Cryptic.

I'd totally invade an unguarded enemy capital to eliminate a rival though ;) Sounds like that could be the issue here...

It's the differences that make it interesting....

I would leave another tribe in play at this stage for two strategic reasons..
- another distraction for the barbs (more so in this game)
- leave rival cities until they are big and juicy enough to capture and keep

Why eliminate a potential future revenue stream?
 
Makes the game quicker at least. And you get some cash. Just resettle the cap site again later.

They say Civ players are not religious.

God gave us building settlers so we have some idea of the concept of eternity....
 
I think playing this game to completion will give us a fair idea of what eternity is all about ;)
 
Well the issue is here the first turn I get has my only warrior 3 turns from my city... nothing able to defend.... that is something I would NEVER have done had we started from scratch.

I understand negotiations are proceeding.
Let us hope a mutually satisfactory solution is possible.

All I can really offer you is first refusal on any future tribes that become free, if someone quits or disappears.

But that is bad luck...

Now, have people gone away for the weekend, or are we going to see a surge of activity ? Hmmm....
 
This might be the shortest lived Civ in a game ever... being told what to do one turn in because whoever had the Civ I had was an idiot for not leaving any defenses is just ridiculous... good luck all.

It's not bad luck... it's just stupid.
 
It's probably why the game stalled. If you do get knocked out just start another game - I'd join.

EDIT: Bathsheba, can you not unretire Jaoa and give it to SVM?
 
Good idea.

SV110MHH, would you be interested in taking Joao Portugal instead of England ? (email, pm, and this thread entry)

As Mitiu Ioan is apparently taking the weekend off, we won't lose too much time by rewinding this...
 
I'm fine with replaying this round and give England to the AI instead of Portugal.
 
We are restarting this game, or at least partly rewinding.

Joao - Portugal has no longer been retired, and it will now be played
by SV110MHH.

This is because the English are about to be wiped out by a
bloodthirsty nihilist... :D

The save for Joao has been sent to SV110MHH.
When it returns we are going to need to reset the passwords again for
- Ruff Hi
- Macedon
- Paradigm Shifter

When it gets back to the move for SV110MHH - England, I will play this
for the one turn necessary before the English are wiped out.
The tribe who were originally going to wipe out England are * required
* to wipe them out this time round also.

So we will end up with the same number of players as last week, but
with no ai tribe somewhere in the world.

Everyone should be relatively happy about this outcome.

My apologies for the slight inconvenience, but I guess this is partly my fault.
If I had paid more attention to the positions when changing the
passwords, I might have anticipated this.

Anyway, just a few days lost, but a better basis for the game results.

regards

Ozy
 
+100 lame points to whoever stalled the original game for so long instead of just taking a defeat like a man.

Not really sure what you mean here...

The original game stalled because Negative Suns disappeared, and when you agreed to replace him Flevance never got round to fixing your password.

If you're talking about the first restart in this thread, then not sure this had stalled (rather than a weekend break), but the hold up doesn't appear to have anything to do with England's bad position or the people involved.
The hold up is with a third, uninvolved, tribe.
