MAVERICKS Diplomacy Discussions

[Trystero]

I edited my original post. I don't think they are aware we declared war on them yet. They haven't logged into the game this turn, and the message came via obsolete by PM rather than from their team email, which is where I sent our message.

It's interesting that Civ5 has no option for tech trading, I wonder if that'll make it more balanced in multiplayer.

I hope that's the case. I've played a couple of single player games and it has some problems. The major one being that the AI doesn't really know how to use one unit per tile effectively. Also the diplomacy is pretty frustrating in SP.

Hard to say for sure, but I'm guessing probably. Playing in a game where you're losing badly tends to make people lose interest and team spirit to fade. They could of course be trying to pull a double-cross on us, but I don't think it's particularly likely at this stage. More likely that they're genuinely sick of the game. The only situation where a double-cross would be likely is if there's an extremely stubborn or revenge-bent player on the team who just wants to get back at people.

Isn't this a potentially game-breaking situation though? If they do indeed capitulate and give us all their cities, we are going to have an enormous advantage without having done anything but be part of an alliance that excluded that team. I'm worried specifically because their motivation seems to be to deny an advantage to Quatronia.

I'm not saying we should accept their offer to gift us all their cities. We should instead go take them with our military, then we earn them rightfully in the eyes of the world.

I PMed them to look for our email. It appears they really do just want to give up:

Sorry, all the admins we had have left to play Civ 5, so there wasn`t even anyone around to respond to the team e-mail account.

Anyhow, since you don`t want our cities I just asked in another thread to fill in an AI or something. If capitulation is allowed, then feel free to take it all.

Update: Amazon and Quatronia have called for a pause to the game while this is sorted out. As the current turnplayer, I will voice support for this in the Game Tracking thread.

Another update: obsolete posted this to the Game Tracking thread:

Alright, we did a little bit of discussion with a couple other teams. Please capitulate Mavericks over to Team Sirius.

Thanks.

Update again: The admins won't allow that since vassalage is disabled.

This is a potentially big development regarding Mavericks quitting the game:

There will be no AI takeover. Mavericks will just be inactive until they are conquered or find a turn player.

I was really hoping for AI takeover to be most fair but I guess This is better then just getting cities. Getting thier home island for free without any effort would be too much I think. We'll need to make plans on how to get on the island as quickly as possible.

Our discussion is well, but we have a long time before we can take any Maverick-town. In the moment we 've no combat units and our transport facility is also small.

They are playing a loosing game a long time, without any real chance of revenge. LP is right, if you are in the wrong ally in DGs, you look every turn at the menace and it comes nearer, then you 've only little interest to make plans, if at all you want it.
btw
I 've played in GWT at the wrong side and know the emotion.
