P666-04 : Yet Another Trash Game

[cabert]

is it me who is smoky or did mice only play part of what was due?

 

[Cam_H]

Mice edited his post, but I think originally it did note that he only played a partial round.

Guys, let's not complain about each other's games from now on please.

There's only a couple of more days to go to the deadline. Good to see a few games posted already.

If there is a voting distortion, Cam will find another rule to overcome it , but i honestly don't think it's a problem.

Well, what I had in mind was the votes would be spread evenly amongst the other submissions.

For instance, say there are seven submissions including Mice's, but Mice does not send in a vote. He can't vote for his own game anyway, and he has a total of six votes to distribute (3 for one submission, 2 for one submission, and 1 for one submission). Consequently in this example his six votes are neatly spread across the six other games as one vote per submission.

well, since he played only a partial round, there is no question...

 

[Cam_H]

Agreed.

I guess this question of people not getting their votes in promptly needed a rule anyway. I think that what's proposed is fair, and accommodates for the 'You can't vote for your own game' rule.

Just added save to my spoiler (post 140).

 

[Öjevind Lång]

Spoiler :

Well, here is my game as of AD 1000. No one needs to point out again that my builder instincts carried me away and created mischief. This time, I kept building Parthenon while waiting for Construction, and that way got a scientist who is currently awaiting instructions. I discovered Theology and traded knowledge with Asoka so I got the ability to build Swordsmen. I had to get another good offensive unit beside the hwacha. I have captured Tianjin, will capture Nanjing and believe I will be able to capture Shanghai. By the way, I'm a he.

guys, i plan on playing my game tomorrow if that is alright. probably around 4ish EST.

i hope that is not too late. it's been another busy week. next week should be better. i don't want to pass again, so if you could give me til the afternoon/early evening tomorrow it would be appreciated.

 

[futurehermit]

Woke up early this morning. Played and posted to 1000AD.

Spoiler :

Basically, reoriented everything toward hwacha production. Researched stuff the ai wasn't like metal casting and compass. Making buddies with Asoka and Genghis. To hell with everyone else Got some traded with worst enemies modifiers because we needed to trade and didn't have alphabet...Got colossus in our capital. Traded for feudalism. Currently on our way to vassalizing qin. Toku will follow next.

 

[Cam_H]

OK ...

Still waiting for Endzz and vra379971. vra indicated that he finished his round albeit not terribly successfully, and I'm not sure what Endi's up to.

It's early-Sunday now in Australia, so I'd say it's got to be past early-Saturday in America.

Literally a few more hours and then we'll close it off.

Again, unsure why so many late or missing submissions.

 

[Endzz]

Soz i've been too interested with my solo game..
I'll play it out now. Actually haven't even looked at last saves, only read reports..
Good thing this is a trash game, not normal

 

[Endzz]

ooh what a pain.. very long turn set.. should have taken notes!
Well, here you go, might be a bit confusing tho

Spoiler :

Ouch! No contruction. Finish pottery, start to research construction. While waiting for Hwachas, made some axes and few support buildings like lighthouse, granarys, barracks.. Didn't think we want new city on a place like that in east, so took settler back. Maybe we can use it later to fix AI city placement skills after conquering em

We have buddhism in our city, so I joined the club changed to buddhism. I tried to get Asoka as Buddhist too, but didn't work. Buddhism is in all our cities now. We get +2 exp thanks to that, which means two promotions with barracks.

Politically situation was hard with lots of different religions and worst enemies. I sided with Toku and Kublai, who are the score leaders. We might want to take em out before they get too strong, though. Declared on Qin, got some negative modifiers. Divided my forces half, one half went for Shanghai and other half went for those 3 little cities west of us. Shanghai is now ours and razed one and kept one city at west. The one in southwest corner of the land is still not attacked. Qin has few cities north through the whole landmass, Toku on other side and Asoka on other side. Asoka declared on Qin too. We should first take out Qin, then Asoka. If we can rely on Toku we might as well keep him there on east, blocked by us, but if he backstabs us we might have to do two-front battle = bad.

Traded some techs and got Currency with demand from Qin before declaring war.
Also Toku is giving us free Sugar
Techs obtained this turnset:
Pottery, alpha, construction, calendar, currency, code of laws, metal casting, iron working, horseback riding, sailing, theology (tech pop with great priest),

Accidentally played 1 turn more, I reload from autosave back to 1000AD. You know, I really don't want to press that enter after 1000AD again, bad things happen!

Anyways, we have enough Hwachas to take over the world

 

[cabert]

vra, you did play if I read well.
Could you upload your save?

 

[Cam_H]

All right, that's that.

If everyone could download the available games, check them out, and send me your votes. Please don't vote on the basis of posted reports alone!

Just to recap, this voting is for the most successful game;

• 3 votes to the most successful
• 2 votes to the second most successful
• 1 vote to the third most successful

You can not vote for your own game - however great you think that it might be!

It is your decision how you judge 'most successful'.

Those who did not submit a game this round can not vote in this round.

Please PM your votes to me. Even though I didn't play this round, as Returning Officer, I will get the casting vote in case of a tie. I'd really like to have a decision by Sunday night 'American time' if not sooner.

The 'winner' of this round will be exempt from 'winning' Round 6.

Once again, this thread is in part designed to be educational, so I hope everyone learns something from the different approaches taken.

 

[futurehermit]

Ok, I will do mine Sunday morning EST before the football playoffs start

 

[Cam_H]

Still waiting for one more vote, but a tie is quite possible!

 

[futurehermit]

woot! suspense

 

[FeedBack]

Is the voting as exciting as yesterday's AFC final?

 

[futurehermit]

i hope so great game!

 

[cabert]

When is the deadline for voting, cam?
Not that i'm ready to play (and I have SGotM 3 to play before this one, + WotM 5 to finish, so i'm really not desperate for a game ) but the tension and anticipation is starting to be a little too much

 

[Cabledawg]

I see youve lost a few guys. If you need another, I wouldnt mind jumping in. Ive played all the saves you guys have.
