I underestimated just how much time it was going to take to barely manage an empire of this size - i think it's taken me half an hour just to cycle through cities and figure out builds/tile assignments on these 2 turns. And my schedule doesn't allow for more time than that.
Honestly, I think you need to call this. It's been a fun run and we all wanted to see it come to some thrilling conclusion, but pretty soon we're going to be propping up the corpse in a rocking chair in a corner of the room with its best sunday dress on, trying to convince ourselves it's still a person. Nobody else has volunteered to take scooter's civ over, and the only other power in the game is only thinking about how someone competent and with a lot of time to dedicate may ruin his chances. So just call him the winner and get out the shovels so we can lay this body to peace, please?
Or maybe you do that, retire the top two civs to AI and let the fun teams play their stuff out. I don't know where to go with my metaphor for that option.
Sorry Scooter, you were right. This thing is a beast. I'll happily help you end turns promptly so you don't have to be chained to it; I owe you that much.
Brick:
- I think the only folks whose votes really count in the PB13 life-support debate are Plako, Mackoti and Pindicooter
- Mack and Pindicooter have both called for an end
- The way this version of RBmod is set up means getting away from your competitors just isn't possible, so there isn't anything any of them can do to end the game before space, which is ages away
- So any chance of calling it a 3-way draw?
Completed: RB Demogame - Gillette, PBEM46, Pitboss 13, Pitboss 18, Pitboss 30, Pitboss 31, Pitboss 38, Pitboss 42, Pitboss 46, Pitboss 52 (Pindicator's game), Pitboss 57
