RBP7 IT and Tech Issues Thread

I think that's valid feedback for a future game, but i think it would be good to get a break in to let tempers cool.

[Meiz]

I'm fine with ending the game.

[plako]

I guess my "We've all lost" initiative is not gonna get enough support so I withdraw it. In general I think that if 1/4 of the players still have fun we should continue. I still have some intresting projects going on, but all this out of game drama has gone way too far and making it pretty lame for me. I don't like how Xenu is accused and I definately didn't like his response to SevenSpirits (bad stuff edited out now).

Now I am not sure what to do. I think I've earned the position where I am towards Xenu border, but Xenu inviting attackers has made the legitimacy of my attack questionable. I have been preparing to take advantage of the well known major attack from SevenSpirits for some time and now, when opportunity finally arrives, I feel dirty using it. Either I'll be accused of taking freebies or I leave Sevenspirits and Lord Parkin to collect the prices. What would be the point in this game if I choose latter alternative?

btw. I don't think Xenu has done me much of a favor here. I don't want to reveal everything in case this game goes on, but Xenu has handled his defenses alright and reacted to threats I've presented. There hasn't been cheap prizes to collect. Even now after withdrawing few defenders, the city isn't defenseless and he still has 1 turn to fill it up so I might not even have enough to take it.

I also urge everyone to think how would they handle defenses, when there is border with a large stack of units coming in versus a border without no visible troops?

Native America is under AI control. I wouldn't bother finding a replacement, I've prepared the AI with as many defensive units as I could but it won't matter.

Enjoy the game guys.

[plako]

AI will be doing very stupid things. Would it be possible for you or Commodore to reconsider playing it through. If that is not possible, I wouldn't mind even some utterly spoiled lurker to log in and try to make it as expensive as possible for us. Please don't let this turn roll i.e. last player should pause it before ending turn.

[spacetyrantxenu]

Sorry, I'm not willing to play with Seven at this point. As my civ is on the way out there is no reason for him not to play anymore, so I'm heading for the exit.

It doesn't matter who takes over, any lurker willing to build and whip as many units as possible could do it. There is no strategy left, only turn by turn tactical reactions to invading stacks. If you'd rather a human handles that than the AI that is understandable. I just won't be doing it myself for the reason mentioned above.

[Tatan]

In general I think that if 1/4 of the players still have fun we should continue.

The only player I could find who is actively supporting a continue is HitAnyKey; everyone else either votes to end, abstains, or hasn't yet posted. In fact I looked through the last few pages of the this thread and the diplo thread and found 9 players right away who were in favor of ending (plus 1 player ragequitting). That represents 2/3 of the teams right there.

It has been said before, but I'll say it again: continuing the game at this point is just going to yield more bad blood and broken dreams. RB should be better than this.

[plako]

I would like to see 3/4 of players wanting to end this, since that was the figure given in the opening post. It seemed to me Yuris and Slowcheetah were also in favor of continuing so it is not totally certain we can reach 3/4 of the majority.

So if you vote for ending this please copy the list below and add your name or remove it (in case you change your mind) and post it here (I tried to collect here all names that have stated their wish that game would end in the previous couple of pages):
plako, Meiz, Xenu/Commodore, Azza, Nakor/Tatan, Pindicator, Ichabod, sunrise, Lord Parkin

[SleepingMoogle]

I'm fine with ending it, so please add my name to the list.

[slowcheetah]

I'm actually fine with ending as well, I just didn't mind continuing if some were still having fun.

That puts the list at:

plako, Meiz, Xenu/Commodore, Azza, Nakor/Tatan, Pindicator, Ichabod, sunrise, Lord Parkin, Sleeping Moogle, Slowcheetah
