I'll attach the save for all to see. I say we give up and the Throw the towel Poll indicates the same.

I'll check in about 23 hours for reactions and if the "throw the towel" choice still is clearly ahead I'll post a message at the UN that we give up.

Doesn't look too good. They've nearly blockaded our "Catch Da Galley" galleys.

If we have to unland our settler, then I guess that is what we must do. Puts a nice, if horrible tasting, ending on the game. Two teams meet early, ally for awhile, then go to war; one finally wins.

You really should wait 48 hours, as any forgein agreement would take.

 

[Donovan Zoi]

I say that we disband all of our units this turn and claim that the rapture has saved us from the wrath of heathens. And that the godless rogues of C3B just stood slackjawed while our last righteous men and women were miraculously elevated upwards at 45 degrees upon a beam of light until we disappeared into a crack in the clouds.

We can post a nice story, a paragraph or two in the UN, which should grant us the moral high ground. This proposal will also allow us to deny ultimate satisfaction of conquest to the Triple Alliance.

Thing is, what happens when you disband your final units during your turn in a PBEM game? Does the game just collapse on itself? If not, the I say we go an entire turn without saying anything and let the joke be on CGN when they go to send the save to.....C3B?

I dunno...it's the best I could come up with. Whaddaya think?

EDIT: I guess they could figure it out when we are found missing from the leaderboard......

 

[RegentMan]

Interesting idea Donovan.

 

[Rik Meleet]

They'll immediately noticce our face missing from the F4 screen and the CFC-line missing from the score-graph which is always visible.

Did you read my entire post?

 

[Rik Meleet]

Did you read my entire post?

-> What makes you think I read anything at alll ??

I'm in favor of disbanding the settler and the C3B worker "Barclay wannabe" and post a story in the UN how CFC managed to accomplish its goals by capturing the entiire C3B royal family (Monarchy), torture them and throw them overboard in the ocean, ending C3B civilization.

My guess is that the entire Civ community will see right through that one.

Anything we submit to the UN should be based on realism, or else it just looks like we are (still) living in denial.

The votes are:
throw the towel: 8
continue playing: 5
don't know: 5

As of the 18 votes 8 voted to throw the towel (less than 50%) I think we should play it out then. Will play in a couple of hours. Agreed with the interpretation of the poll result ?

It will mean that C3B will be the ones that kill us, instead of us ending the game.

 

[Ankka]

So after all this you give C3B the satisfaction of killing us...

Not my preference, but that is the consequence of continuing to play.

 

[Provolution]

I agree, be a man and fight to the end.

Why are you continuing to play?

Throw in the Towel won the vote. You cannot count abstain votes as being against quitting. I voted don't know, because I didn't care either way. Can we please stop besmirching democracy and let the option that won prevail? The vote was 8-5. Find a way to back out graciously.

 

[Donovan Zoi]

Does it really matter at this point? To me, throwing in the towel is disbanding everything. Do not give then the satisfaction of closure!

 

[DaveShack]

Does multi-player have the option of retiring?

 

[Donovan Zoi]

Yep, once we disband the ship holding the Settler, the game is over. Should I pass my findings on as the official save?

I took out two "whore" CGN ships before self-destruct to show that I disapprove of miccofl's psychological warfare in unit naming.

EDIT: To me this is a fitting end, but if Rik wants to succumb to the enemy it's still his show.

OK, I have attached the save, since I do not have MSDG email access. Please post the Battle Log at the UN, and send along to C3B.
