What to do with Poly?

[Ankka]

Apolyton has been holding the save for a fortnight now. They recieved the save from CGN (or CGN sent it to them, at least) on December the 20th. We still haven't seen a save.

Because of this, Micealis Rex posted this at the UN:

As you are all by now aware, this game has come to a screeching hault. Miccofl has confirmed that CGN sent the latest save to Apolyton on December 20, 2004, and CFC has confirmed that they have not received any save since then. Since nobody wants this game to die in a state of limbo, FortyJ has authorized me to post the following team poll. Each team gets one vote, to be cast by that team's capitain. The poll will last 96 hours (4 days). If at any time before the conclusion of this poll Apolyton plays and passes the save, the game will continue as normal. Here, then, are the poll options.

1. End the game. GWT is declared the winner based on histograph.
2. Disband Apolyton's empire and let the game continue to run it's course.
3. Divide the assets of the Apolytonian empire amongst the remaining teams, and let the game continue to run it's course.
4. Allow a group of players from other teams or from outside the game to take over the Apolytonian empire, maintaining the current in-game status.

Of course, any other suggestions are appreciated and will be considered as well.

So, express your views and vote on the poll.


Oh, here's the UN thread: http://www.cdgroup.org/forums/site/mpm/viewtopic.php?p=2662#2662

And GWT team member bongo noted that we have a golden age. Cool.

Voted for a new team to be formed. Breaking all the Poly accomplished doesn't seem like a good idea to me. We should ask some of the teams in the other ISDG to take over. (probably not C3B but how about CDZ?).

Alternatively, just end the game, interest is low on our side as well.

We must reform a team. If we split the land we lose. We need APO to live, so no matter what it will be ahrd. But I still say we should merge with them and claim a spacerace victory. We could block all of our tiles, and last a while. That is our only hope. The combined team would be active enough.

 

[Ankka]

IMHO we could just end the game as this isn't really interesting with what, 5 "active" members. No thanks.

Let's just give it a nice burial. I don't really have the energy to continue this...

 

[DaveShack]

We could cast our team vote for disbanding Poly and then try to settler rush their former territory, given the spatial advantage...

Of course there is no way that would fly with the other survivors, so the most likely outcome is the game ends, either with GWT claiming victory or not.

 

[RegentMan]

I'm torn. I want to see what happens when GWT lands on our shores. I want to see the battle for our homeland. On the other hand, I just don't want to wait that long. This game has lost my interest. Where's the "Give Apolyton to CFC" option? And since seeing others divide up Apolyton won't fly with me, the remaining option of allowing another groups of players might work too. However, that option will alter the CFC-Apolyton alliance forever. We will never have the same level of partnership with them again. Think this decision over. It's a very important one. I haven't decided yet.

 

[Yndy]

I hope the three of you who wrote comments but did not vote will make up their mind eventually.

Edit: Poly has sent us the save, I will play tonight if it's OK with you Ankka.

 

[RegentMan]

Well, this was fun, wasn't it?

 

[Ankka]

It's ok, feel free to play, Yndy. I was hoping you would.

The problem in giving Poly to CFC would be that we don't get the units... it would be a little vulnerable to a GWT attack...

On the other hand, we could have just be given Poly's password.

 

[Octavian X]

I'd rather see a new 'team' take over for 'poly, really. We don't really benefit from having it disbanded (as it opens up land for other teams), or split up (as the other teams will still get a slice).

 

[Black_Hole]

if you guys notice from this poll that participation is extremely low. I didnt vote since im not an active citizen, but this just shows that you should just end the game.

I didn't vote for reasons my post stated. I was waiting for someone to woo me over to one of the three sides that I was considering. Still am waiting, everyone...

 

[Ankka]

Well, as Apolyton played the save, this poll is useless. I ask for this to be closed.

Although I would be willing to end this game, because:

• The game is moving slower than a moose in tar
• Participance is low.
• It will take ages before anything happens
• I don't have the energy to continue this
• Isn't that enough?

Some guy from Poly was saying they're low on participating too.
