Instant Karma 3 civ/player, no AI

[Imperator Knoedel]

Soooooo....
Any replacement for Hercules found yet?

 

[Hercules90]

I can't accept you to just roll over and die. If need be I'd say we should replace you with a more agreeable player.

I didn't say that. I just do not want charity and obligations.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

I didn't say that. I just do not want charity and obligations.

wat. So what do you want?

 

[kenwyn]

To fight the #1 civs & to fall into the welcoming arms of the kind & merciful civs from the N(me).

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

I would like to remind the world that it was KenWyn who talked me into invading Mali in the first place.

 

[kenwyn]

That's because we liked U before U became #1. Oh, & before we discovered U were supplying iron to "our" enemy.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

I have been #1 for quite a while actually, as a matter of fact I found it very confusing how you went on and on about how Hercules has the best leaders and civs in the world and we've got to stop him when I've been shooting ahead of everyone.

Updated game speed #'s for last 2 months' action/progress.
Which is the fastest group of players, now…so far?

Calculated turns per day / days per turn thru today for the games I'm in.
Starting with oldest…
"18-but-not-Earth" = .26 / 3.8
"Tri Civ" = .18 / 5.4
"Octofish" = .33 / 3.1
"Redofish" = .2 / 4.9
"Instant Karma" = .52 / 1.9
"3rd Tribe" = .43 / 2.3
"Civ Fix" = .51 / 2.
"Back 2 Back" = .38 / 2.7

Congratulations "Instant Karma", these fast players are back to #1!
However, "18-but-not-Earth", continues as the long running qik group!

"Bak 2 Bak" is off to a really slow start. Seems teamates are talking more than moving?
"Redofish"… remains sadly slow. Let's pick it up gents(!?).

 

[kenwyn]

ImpK... it has been 4.5 days. I see no posting on "Leave of Absence" thread.
Tho i see other recent postings.

R U... AWOL? deserted? afraid to move? Should i/we start looking for a replacement?
"In negotiations." Is not an excuse/reason to delay this game. If U havn't sorted things out in 4+ days, it's time to move us all ahead.

for your prompt attention to this request.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

It's not my fault Hercules is hiding from me, reason and fairness.

 

[kenwyn]

Heads up to other players.
I've asked ImpK to move w/i 12 hours or we will seek a replacement.
5 days of unannounced delay = unacceptable in any game i am in charge of running for EVERYONE's enjoyment.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

The fault still lies with Hercules.

 

[Hercules90]

The fault still lies with Hercules.

It does not. I replied that it is between you two to decide what you want to do.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Yes, and I decided to keep you alive and well as neutral buffer state between us. Why do you want to die?

 

[ReallyEvilMuff]

I guess if he isn't replying then you must assume that he does not want to take your terms and conditions dude. One more turn won't make a huge difference. It has been held up a while now...

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

But can we just accept that a player purposefully sabotages himself?

Some pages ago KenWyn even cried foul and accused Hercules of actively helping me by leaving no defenders whatsoever in my path, for some reason he changed his mind and is now totally okay with that?

 

[kenwyn]

It is now quite clear that U 2 R not in cahoots. Herc is simply rolling over & checking out.
We both jumped him early due to stretching a bit too far with a bit too little protection & too much trust.
He took some risks, like we all do to varying degrees. In this case/game he bit & hit.
It is HIS choice as to how he wants to play HIS civs. And who he talks to.

Move PLEASE. We are all waiting.

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

I am already with my last civ, but something came up:

I have a nice combat experienced army near your border and see an undefended Portuguese city. Additionally my stack is right next to your unescorted Great General Chariot.
I am sure you know where this is going, what with you being by far the most opportunistic and paranoid of players in this game. Soooooooo, what do you have to offer me for not squashing you like a bug?

 

[Imperator Knoedel]

Okay, your Great General is dead and silk will soon be razed to the ground, because it's about time someone punishes you for being pedantic, opportunistic, and hypocritical.

 

[kenwyn]

"... for being pedantic, opportunistic, and hypocritical."
As the ol' Southern saying goes, "Well if that ain't the pot calling the kettle black!?".
He who uses his neighbors as shields & lackeys for his world domination designs.
Your gifting programs are a nice touch, tho bit like the UN/USA; we give something we don't need & tell U it is a gift (with strings he hopes).

Meanwhile since YOU did turncoat & DoW; our forces swarm to meet your Mayan Moggots!
Tuff luk (& thx for such honesty) on your attack to penetrate our Portugese lines. At least we know rapid-fire promotions work occasionally.

Seems U have persuaded "our enemy" to not only ally with U, but to take the brunt of the fighting.

Note to Herc of Amer, Mayi, & Sumer: good thing he gave U bak the cities he decimated, since they will be the 1st to go. Unless...
