[TECH] PB28 Tech Thread

Didn't you satisfy your lust for Sumerian wars in PBEM68 ?

Well, maybe that question is more appropriate for yourself ... but you can see my confusion!

[Jowy]

Hey, I noticed that "Stop trading with X" is missing from our list of AI diplo options. Just wondering if this was just forgotten from the list or if we're not allowed to use it for whatever reason?

I thought it had been brought up during the discussion and agreed. It's really just a variation of "2) Close borders with A." so I'm sure it's acceptable.

I have not thought that we were completely limited to the list in the first post, and that they were more guidelines that backed the fundamental rule which is for it to behave like SP diplo.

Yeah, I recall us having a bit of leeway with the exact messages, too. Of course, my memory tends to suck....

[Grimace]

Yeah, "Stop trading with X" is essentially another version of "Close borders with X", so yes, that's more than acceptable. You're just limited to WHAT you ask for, now HOW you ask for it.

I paused incase Jowy can't play early again.

[Jowy]

Thx. I should probably delay playing even if I were free earlier in the day, just so that my 12 hour time window doesn't shift to a time frame that doesn't always work for me. Wars are a pain.

[Grimace]

Wars are a pain.

I know, right? Why can't we all just get along!

[Dreylin]

Would it help if we extended the timer by 2-4hours to give flexibility to Jowy's play window? If we're pausing it for that length of time on half the turns anyway, then I can't see a downside...

[Fenn]

I agree, it probably wouldn't extend the overall turn pace so it only saves us pausing or Jowy rushing to play at the last minute.
