actually since you have been hanging out with the aussies , your posts have gone downhill

aside from finbar that is .......

DrSpike · January 25, 2003, 16:56

Not true....SG called me Apolyton's wordsmith the other day after a particularly rousing post on the joys of civ.

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 16:58

yes i read that one, that was well written, out of a story book almost......

i quite enjoyed it, you should join the democracy game just for your eloquent posting ability, not that you do it all the time mind you

DrSpike · January 25, 2003, 17:00

Democracy games are

......On second thoughts, maybe I should look in and give Emperor a little push.

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 17:13

they aren't just spam, it is a game were playing, it takes awhile to make decisions when democracy rules you know

DrSpike · January 25, 2003, 17:17

Can anyone join at any time?

Btw shame Ming closed the old Aussie thread, because you have the last post in almost every thread.

ColdWizard · January 25, 2003, 17:19

yes, people can join at any time

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 17:20

yes you can join anytime, its your opinion and +1 they are looking for, you have a say in what happens...though with your skill level that might be dangerous

seriously though....come in spike and offer an opinion

DrSpike · January 25, 2003, 20:42

Hehe I just might........I think my skill level will be adequate.

Ming · January 25, 2003, 20:52

That's not saying much if you look at their current game

DrSpike · January 25, 2003, 21:02

Well they can't be doing badly if War is on their side.

Ming · January 25, 2003, 21:12

If war was running the show, that would be one thing.

But like ANYTHING IN LIFE... you get to many people involved, and they make bad decisions

srholmes · January 25, 2003, 21:46

one good thing in civ3 is the border concept though; i would like to see civ2 but with borders

War4ever · January 25, 2003, 23:12

yes and i came in to the game late...not the way i would have played it but its fun anyways

HappySunShine · January 26, 2003, 02:06

Emperor isn't all it's cracked up to be, better to be warlord on 20 different names like me.

War4ever · January 27, 2003, 10:55

there is a shock....

Or the AMERICAN WAY, you get so many people together so NO decision is make.

Or in layman's terms, CONGRESS.

War4ever · January 27, 2003, 14:06

bureaucratic red tape comes to mind

Ming,
In all fairness, we had a slow start and are trying to be doves. If we had been able to attack and conquer the comps we would be doing much better right now.

If you can do better, why don't you offer your own two cents?

Ming · January 27, 2003, 17:45

It would have been easy to do better, and that's one of the reasons why I wouldn't want to be involved in a game where all decisions are made by a group, because the odds are, they wouldn't always agree with me

*actually, I don't like games that move at that slow pace. I dislike PBEM games as well

Part of the problem is the organisation.

It is hard to cycle turns more than once a week since:

1. President has to play, post screenshots and a turnlog.
2. Forwards game saves to all the ministers.
3. Ministers submit reports, open polls or discussion threads on areas we feel the public needs to input.
4. Usually 2-3 days to vote/ discuss.
5. Repeat. Unless one were to get really involved, it is hard to lower the turnaround time while retaining citizen input.

If your first rule in MP is to kibitz, you should do fine with us.

DrSpike · January 27, 2003, 18:02

Sorry, the first rule of MP is to play your turn, and bloody well hurry up about it.

And I always thought diplogames took long.

And the second rule is, don't forget about rule number 1.

Groups that disagree with you? I can't imagine how you got the idea that such a thing could happen around here ...
