Mapping the victims

[Whomp]

Got it Rik. Quoting them is ok but making personal disparaging remarks about them are not.

BTW Killercane should be added as another very solid player for doughnut. His HOF finishes have been fantastic. How did we let him slip through?

My intention when starting this thread was/is to get a grip on who we're up against. We understand the programming of AI reasonably well but this is different so I figure this "mapping" might help us. If two players are in some sort of conflict and we know it, that's good for us and sound intelligence, but we shall keep it at identifying this and ponder on how we might use it and leave personal remarks out. I don't think this will be a problem for us.

I think knowing the various personalities we are dealing with is valuable intelligence. Sort of like knowing that Xerxes is a brat and will start a fight even if out numbered 10 to 1. Having bad blood between two opposing civs can work to our advantage. I just caution that we must be very careful in attempting to exploit it. We're dealing with humans not the AI.

I have it on reliable information that Capt. Buttkick is on Team TNT ~ I have lurked and played with him on SGOTM XTeam ~ He's another strong player and a very good tactitian (or however that is spelled) He's very good at the #'s of the game. Figuring out build orders and setting up unconventional settler factories.

Edit:
OH yeah and he mentioned in an open thread that the name of their capitol is "Dancing Bananna"

 

[Whomp]

We are really getting these guys riled up. It seems we have a tit for tat again because Classical Hero didn't post sending us the save. This is getting comical.

Rule Proposal for turn progression.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.5 Turn Reporting

Every time a team completes a turn, the team should notify that the save has been sent to the next team in line in the "Turn Tracker". This rule should be considered as important as the 24 hour rule, in order to sustain same rule.

I suppose if RegentMan says to take a vote we vote...."yes"?

 

[Bede]

Yes.......

 

[Daghdha]

@Whopie
Affirmative ))

This is starting to look useful. I will do an update in #1 post in a couple o days. Good work fellow spies. Who will be first promo to veteran???

 

[Tubby Rower]

I noticed that DaveShack is getting fed up with the bickering

I really don't see any purpose in getting obsessive about turnaround time, on a turn by turn basis. The point is to avoid a chronic problem, not to make a big deal about individual turns.

A lot has to do with when the previous team's save is received. For example, a turnplayer might only have a 2 hour window per day when s/he can play. If the preceeding team delivers a turn right at the end of that 2 hour window, there is not much can be done but wait 22 hours till the beginning of the next window. If this happens every day then that team should be encouraged to have a backup turnplayer on a different schedule, but if it only happens once then why bother to make it an issue? All of us who have used computers more than a few years have had system problems now and then, again no point in making a big deal of it. I live in a place with seasonal thunderstorms and could lose power for several hours, that would also be something which should get respect from the other teams.

I checked and I only started the thread. The rest came from them. Diplomacy later in the game will be very interesting.

 

[Kickbooti]

Wow. Thank the Lord I ended up with this happy band of anarchists.

I could have been randomly assigned to a different group; This is better

 

[Mistfit]

Is Classical Hero on one of the opposing teams? If so he's over at CDZ lurking for intel -

Tell Tomoyo not to let him in

 

[Whomp]

Wow Mistfit!! I can grant access too.

It seems Classical is looking to see how Tomoyo and I are doing in our PBEM. He will be severely disappointed considering I'm spanking the Russian Ag civ in score and our team is beating on them across the board.

Also Provo is making a huge deal out of the turntracker thing.

 

[Tubby Rower]

I hope people understand this more than they condemn me for "bureaucracy". It has to be this way.

The diplomacy war has begun.

 

[Whomp]

Classical Hero has requested access to the CDZ private forum.....I guess I should let him in.

 

[Tubby Rower]

Now Provo & classic are bickering over Rambuchan. How old are they again?

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

I vote "no" for having a penalty for forgetting to post in the Turn Tracker thread...I almost forgot last time.

 

[Bede]

I think I'm missing something. Where is all the intel regarding the two disputants coming from?

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

The "Rule Proposal" and signup threads. I think those are the only ones...oh, and the Turntracker.

 

[Tubby Rower]

You will be a great asset to our team, and we already got some great contributors inside, and no shortsighted ones with no vision to struggle with to create long range, comprehensive plans

Long range??? are they already planning out Modern Era tech route? Is a comprehensive plan the same as "asymmetrical warfare"?

 

[Whomp]

Since he deleted his previous caustic posts to Tubby I think this dialogue should be posted. My thoughts at this point are that all conversations with Provo cease until we meet in diplo. Though I don't like how he talked to Tubby I see zero upside talking to him. What do you all think?

TeamTNT hereby complains that Team Dougnut has not posted within the 24 hour limit, now this should be taken seriously, given previous slack we have given repeated to this team. I hope the UN moderators deal with this.

I hear your complaint and have notified them of it, and of a suggested solution to fix this in the future.

What slack??? D'Nut & KISS have been the most consistent. If I recall team TNT was the only team to go beyond the time limit. You haven't given any slack to any other team but have requested it for yourself. Sheeesh.

Most consistent ? Except for ONE incident, TNT has been punctual, so no double crossing here. Tubby, Doughnut has gone past the deadline several times. I am not complaining about KISS, so you better let the Doughnuts talk for themselves. And that "Sheesh" word....

Or.........

or... you confuse your role as a team member of which team.

 

[Tubby Rower]

That's fine. I figured that I should shut up anyway. I just like getting him riled up. I'll stop replying to his non-sense. And I probably deserved his snap back at me. I'll just go look at some numbers and come up with something.

Sorry guys if I've ruined our reputation with the other teams.
