RBPB3 - Gandhi of the Egyptians

! You certainly realized before I did at least that this was a giant game of Survivor, and you've done a good job of rolling things in a general direction. Long way to go though, should be entertaining to follow...

I hate to say this, but this is absurd. When the game restarted 2 weeks ago, it was 860AD. We're now at 900AD, all of TWO TURNS LATER. I'm not even sure WHY we're taking so long, except that most of us don't really care anymore about playing this game promptly. It's instead dying a (very) slow death. I can't even manage my civ properly when it takes 5 days between turns, much less feel invested in this game at all. And many others feel the same way.

So, shall we take a vote on ending the game?

There are 14 teams still alive. I believe we should have at least a 2/3 vote to call the game done (so, 10 teams). No one is in a dominant position for the win (and with tech trading, it's not like most of our teams are unable to stay competitive), but I don't know how the 14 of us are ever going to finish this game.

I don't want to be part of the first RB game to not even declare a winner, but I don't see another option.

Teams In Favor of Ending This Game:
England, Carthage, Rome, Byzantium

Teams Opposed:

Teams Abstaining:
Ottomans

Teams Not Posted:
Egypt, HRE, Portugal, India, Aztec, Inca, Maya, Mali, Babylon

In case you missed it.

Bah. Just as I got to third in crop yield and about joint top in MFG, and the most cities. Just as I was about to enter the most important part of the game strategy...

One word on diplo:

I think our row was more likely to keep Maya (up until Morgan took over) than Mali, if/when another split happened. Not sure how Morgan would have played the diplomacy, though.
