New EitB game (Big PBEM/PB)

Before I respond any further, I propose that we amend the rules and allow full diplo moving forward, or else some variant of diplomacy that allows us to communicate in some way. Or at a minimum, a waiver for spoilers that apply to this situation.

I apologize to the other players, and especially to Ellimist. I will continue to play my turns to the best of my abilities and as promptly as possible.

I accept your apology and regret becoming so frustrated earlier.

This reinforces my earlier belief that prohibiting all forms of communication between players is detrimental to the game. It cannot be good for players to be unable to discuss in-game concerns such as this.

I also apologize to everyone for inappropriately sharing some information(in spoilers below) with Q(without his cooperation) earlier today. At the time, I honestly did not expect the game to be able to continue past this, and allowed my irritation to get the better of me.

Information I revealed to Q:
  • I spent ~300 gold to rush-buy a Hall of Mirrors in one city, then another ~500 gold to rush-buy a Carnival and Hall of Mirrors in a second city. 800 gold is more than double what I was making per turn while in a golden age at 100% gold. 
  • I'm not interested in any "remedies" that penalize me any further. My Illusion Elephants are essentially useless if people know about them ahead of time and can bring Vicars.
  • I'm being dogpiled by jalapeno and Auro while DaveV continues an ineffectual war of aggression that has cost him half of his cities. I've made every effort to end the war with DaveV.
  • I do not expect to beat Cultists on this map.
  • I honestly believe DaveV could have won this game if he hadn't chosen to instead just sabotage me by any means possible.
Auroarcher Wrote:Let me ask for final clarification, Ellimist. Do you believe 100% that you've not used a known BUG to your advantage or otherwise obvious unfair broken game mechanism/fair play?

I tested a wide variety of Balseraph-specific tools looking for opportunities I could use to gain an advantage. I never considered that I was taking advantage of a bug with Hall of Mirrors. I do not believe I ever saw Bob's report on HoM that Dave linked to.

My belief was that I had discovered massive potential in an unexplored feature. Hall of Mirrors cost 120 hammers each and require an 80 hammer Carnival. OF COURSE the units would be permanent. Why on earth would it be worth constructing for temporary units, and only if the enemy conveniently is willing to park directly next to a city that has a Hall of Mirrors?

That being said... it's something of an RB FFH tradition to find unexplored game mechanics and figure out how to break them in half. I fully intended to copy Apocalypse Horsemen if I had the opportunity. If my actions in this game caused Hall of Mirrors to become banned in future FFH/EITB games(alongside Keelyn/etc.) I would have considered that an accomplishment.

Illusions or not, that path was always going to be blocked.

Hrrm. I'm not currently spoiled (except insofar as the recent posts in this thread are spoilery in nature) and I've played a bit of FfH/EitB, but wouldn't really call myself a knowledgeable veteran; I haven't explored most of the game mechanics in any depth. I'm also not sure if you're even looking for a non-invested lurker at this point. If I can be of use though, let me know.

Sorry guys, but I'm going to have limited ability to take my turns for the next week. 

I'm moving to a different state and things are pretty chaotic and stressful. I'll take care of them as quickly as I effectively can.

hey guys, had some laptop issues so it's off getting reimaged and I'm stuck with a loaner from IT. When I get my machine back (crossing fingers for tomorrow), I'll have to reinstall CIV and the correct mod. So probably no civ tomorrow night either. frown will keep you updated

Still no laptop. Looks like it might be another day or two.

Have laptop, now having some trouble reinstalling civ (directx doesn't work). So sorry for the delay

And we're back! My deepest apologies for the delay. My only machine being company-provided, I'm a bit at their mercy wrt IT support (CIV was not - I'm sorry to say - the only mission critical piece of software that did not get reinstalled for me).

Is this game dead - AKA Bob's did you find anyone to sub for you?
