Pitboss game within the team

I'm not saying I enjoy waiting. But I would do the same thing in his situation. There is a realtime component to this game, and grs certainly needs every advantage he can get.

Rather than try to change a player's strategy, I suggested we change the settings to make playing faster the optimal strategy.

I guess I might the only one around that doesn't take his ball and go home. If someone starts attacking me, I'll take my beating and say thank you sir instead of delaying the inevitable.
 
I can see both sides, grs does have times where he cant play the turns for a long time however the times he does log in i dont see why he cant press enter?

This makes absolutely no sense...

So DaveMcW how fast do you want the turns?
 
Wow, you discuss 2 pages if my motives are good or evil without knowing them? That is ridiculous. I did not "take the ball home". If I wanted to do that, I could have quitted the game or stopped defending. I am just doing everything to hold as long as possible.

What can I say about delays?

1. This days turn only lasted few hours longer since Theoden just played a few hours before me.
2. Other have played late, forgotten to play or to end their turn since the game started. It have been many different people who "delayed" the game.
3. The game has been down numerous times due to a bug in the pitboss game, storms or whatever.

...and now you complain that due to my action in the recent three turn you may have lost 1 (I reapeat in capital letters "ONE") turn?

So what am I doing?

I try to play a part of the turn at the start of it and another part at the end of it. This sometimes gives me a better chance to survive some more turns. I considers this a perfectly acceptable tactic in my situation. If the majority considers this an illegeal tactic, I will stop it.

BUT: Please stop accusing me of something I am not doing. I am not delaying this game, I try to play it to the best of my skills, whether you like that or not.
 
grs it's not a problem in my book and I'm one of the people fighting you.
You are an honorable, formidable opponent and your motives are fine.
Play on everyone.
 
grs, I'm mentioned this a couple of times before and there was no response. So I assumed that you had ignored it. I was originally asking why the "end turn " button wasn't pressed. Then Dave spoke as if he knew what you were doing (ie: delaying the game). So I went with that.

I agree with Whomp that you are a very honorable (probably the most honorable that I've played against) player. I am sorry for the way that it came accross and my intentions were just to make sure that you didn't forget. I understand that you can't play but at certain times. I was just asking that if you were done with the turn to press the button. If you aren't finished with the turn that's fine by me.
 
Civstats...problem fixed...

Make sure you used the http://www.civstats.com address and not the "apartment" one like I did. One wont let you log in and one will.

grs...you have to understand that its frustating for us to see someone log in 3 times in a day and not hit enter multiple days in a row. Civ stats is bad because we can see this I guess.

Btw, if we change the turn time I have to quit anyways. That is not dependend on the situation in this game. You can see I posted the same about the CDZ game. I just mention that before you go on arguing about that for 2 pages again.


notice i wasnt arguing against you :) i fully understand that you have work constraints-can't remember where you said it but you did somewhere.
 
Im having a little trouble with my civ disc-so i wont be able to play this turn till after i get back from work tomorrow, just telling you all in advance-my apologies.
 
i'm not having a go at you grs, if you want to hold on until everyone plays thats your choice of tactics which i have no problems with but what i guess some of the others were questioning is if everyone has played then it makes no difference if you end the turn earlier.

Now as for the reason why you are leaving your turns to the end i understand that you are worried about the potential of a double move being used. So to stop that from happening and to help the turns go a bit faster if we all come to a gentlemans agreement to leave lets say a 10 or 12hr delay between moves to avoid that from occuring. However we need everyone's agreement. Personally i'm happy to agree to that.

if we do that we may as well change the turn timer, just leave things the way they are, sure its a little annoying waiting but it'll be something we have to deal with.
 
I made the offer as a way to keep the game flowing a bit better but if this is the way we keep it then so be it.
