[SPOILERS - PBEM17] darrelljs - Elizabeth of Egypt

[darrelljs]

I know I'm not updating very often, sadly its unlikely to change. GES/NH, if you guys want to lurk the other threads, I give you my blessing.

Darrell

[NobleHelium]

Yeah I've been considering visiting nospace's thread for a while. But no particular inclination at this moment.

[darrelljs]

Dave, Shoot and I are going to attack rego, and Dave says he has talked nospace into sitting on the sidelines.

Darrell

[Krill]

NoSpace would probably love the ability to tech to the front of the game and just grow.

Also, finally, rego gets what he deserves.

[darrelljs]

He's being a weasel.

Dan: ok so i checked and it's 10 turn cancellation
Darrell: yes, that's right
Dan: so you just played T123
so the 10 turns is T124-133 and you can attack me on T134?
is that how you read it?
Darrell: Hmm, I haven't really thought about it to that level of detail
Dan: just want to make sure we're on the same page
Darrell: are you implying you can attack me on t133 and I can't attack you until t134?
Dan: i am just trying to make sure we are on the same page so we both know what to expect
Darrell: Darrell: are you implying you can attack me on t133 and I can't attack you until t134?
Dan: how i was reading it, a civ has 10 turns of play that they can't attack, right?
isn't that what a 10 turn cancellation means?
Darrell: Your definition of turn and mine might not be aligned
Dan: what is your definition?
Darrell: turn 1 is the first turn of the game, where all players play once
turn 2 is the second turn of the game, where all players play once
etc.
Dan: so if we had a nap that was 0 turn
and you canceled it as you did
wouldn't i be in my rights to attack you ?
Darrell: yes, becaues there is no cancellation at that point
however if it was 1 turn you would not
Dan: sure if it was 1 turn, then i woudl have to wait my one turn
Darrell: correct
Dan: just as you would wait yoru one (peace) turn
Darrell: correct, I woul dhave to wait for the one turn cooldown as well
Dan: meaning you cou dl attack me when?
Darrell: Meaning I could attack you after the one turn
Dan: which turn
help me.... help you.....
it's the middle of t123 right now
so are you saying that you would wait your 1 turn (T124)
and attack t125?
Darrell: I think you said it best
Darrell: are you implying you can attack me on t133 and I can't attack you until t134?
Dan: i am just trying to make sure we are on the same page so we both know what to expect
Darrell: Darrell: are you implying you can attack me on t133 and I can't attack you until t134?
Dan: how i was reading it, a civ has 10 turns of play that they can't attack, right?
isn't that what a 10 turn cancellation means?
Dan: okay
so am i correct that the earliest you will attack me is T134?
i'm not trying to rules-lawyer here
i just like us to be all on the same page here
Darrell: yes, I think we are on teh same page now
Dan: i am going to have to insist on a direct answer mr. dance around the question
am i correct that the earliest you will attack me is T134?
Darrell: I am not going to give you a direct answer, because you didn't give me one earlier
I think that's quite fair
Dan: i didn't give you one on what?

I particularly like:

1. He refused to give me a direct answer early in the conversation, even when I cut & paste repeated my question.
2. Later in the conversation he "insisted" I give him a direct answer to his question, even though I used his evasion tactic.
3. He then played dumb, as if he didn't know he evaded a direct answer to my earlier question.

Oh, and in case you are curious we'll be attacking t133.

Darrell

[Krill]

Just do me a favour and don't play the next turn before I can check out some numbers' mkay?

[darrelljs]

Sure .

Darrell

[NobleHelium]

You could at least report on the supposed regos.

[darrelljs]

Dave razed a size 13 and size 5 city, apparently. He thinks up to two more will fall next turn.

Darrell

[darrelljs]

Combustion had the arrogance to be a two turn tech, so I'll have to slip Theocracy in to keep the streak alive. Oh, and good news:



That gives us about an 85% chance for another golden age .
