ok so the question on the table is ... do we stop this game and restart ?
Will each player please sign in here and let me know or email me in confidence. The decision must be unaminous.
It's early enough in the game for me to switch to BTS ... I am participating in a BTS game that CS is running and I have also been playing a SP game myself to try the learn the mechanics of it and BTS has my attention ... 8 hrs last night ... So if we all want to learn BTS together in this game let me know.
And also let me know how you feel about No Tech Trading. Obviously the one CIV per continent idea is not working.
I have temporarily taken the game down because I was doing maintenance on my pc ... don't ask but blame the cancellation of Pirate Master. Ok I've got to tell you how things can escalate. Out last night someone tells me that Pirate Master is cancelled ! Oh no - I am lover of cheesy reality TV shows. I just find them hilarious ... Big Brother is another favourite. Well it turns out that they (CBS) are going to play the last 5 episodes of Pirate Master online but in Canada you can't watch streaming video (pissing the heck out of me) from the US networks. So I use Utorrrent and found the last episode we missed and downloaded it and then realized that my DVD burning software EMC 7 is incompatible with IE 7 which I just upgraded ... two options upgrade EMC to version 9 or remove IE 7. I had a bad experience removing IE once so I shy away from that so I downloaded the new version of EMC and upgraded this morning ... during the course of all this I had to remove the old software, defrag the drive, update Utorrent, clean the registry and then now burn my disc. I often wonder how PCs make us more productive. All they are, are time suckers
I came in here to tell you the game was temporarily down and would be up soon but with the discussions here on stopping in favour of playing BTS ... I'm going to leave it down pending a vote.
On the issue of logging in multiple times and on double moves its getting far too complicated. So lets say this.
If a player has complaint about a possible double move they email the host. I will shut the game down, discuss with the ladder admin's their recommendation ... (it is a ladder game) and make a decision. But the general rule is double moves in a war situation to gain an unfair advantage is prohibited. If in a battle situation be sure to put your opponent on notice that they must play their turn with 9 hrs of the next turn. ie. Player 1 logs in plays their turn. Player 2 fails to move or has already played, turn changes, Player 1 must wait 9 hrs for Player 2 to make an attempt to move. If Player 2 fails to take their turn then Player 1 has every right to play their turn after 9 hrs. Shame on Player 2 for not paying attention. I think this is fair.
For multiple logins I don't want to administer it that carefully ... its too complicated. Double Logins are permitted.
If anyone objects to this they may without penalty remove themselves from the game and we will find a replacement. If the game is stopped and we move to BTS the same rules discussed above will apply. Does this meet everyone's ok ... let me know when you respond to the Stop and Switch To BTS vote.
Vote should be
I vote to continue with Warlords Pitboss
or
I vote to restart with Beyond the Sword Pitboss
I accept the terms of the double move rule and double login
or
I do not accept the terms of the double move rule and double login and will not longer participate in this game.
