[TECH] Pitboss 34 IT and Tech Issues Thread

We could also declare a tie between OT4E and Mr Cairo. I don't mind playing on, but the modern era turns are going to turn into a grindfest.

[OT4E]

Well, Pindicator hasn't responded, and if you (or anyone else) have no objections, I'll put out a request for a replacement in Civ General tomorrow. I'd also like to reload to DTG's logout save this turn. If you log in and have a look, you'll see why, but basically if we don't reload then Pindicator's replacement turn-player would be crippled for several turns (anarchy).

Ah, I havent got what you want from the first time. I do not object replacing pindicator, though I do not think it is reasonable at this point. It could make sense something like 30 turns ago when he had lost interest, but after it is just a casual PB and why not let people die like they want? Dont get me wrong, but there is a risk that we start replacing every player we do not consider appropriate, chumchu for example. 

That's why I'd prefer to have this game called with whatever result instead. People has lost interest to it, unfortunately. Playing 1 turn per week with pauses and multiply notification at game thread leads to nowhere. I can also rather call this game boring than fun.

[Mr. Cairo]

Well, I was having fun when turns were coming around twice a week, and as much as I'd like to continue, I have to admit it is becoming less and less interesting. If no-one else wants to continue (including the first place player), I'm willing to let it end in a draw.


I don't see what Chumchu was doing that was inappropriate, he may not have been defending as best he could, but at least he was actually doing something other than logging in and hitting end turn, AND he was playing his turns on time. What Pindicator did this turn was akin to what he did in PB 31 in my eyes, if not as extreme. Anyway, that's a discussion for another time.

I'm willing to call it a draw if everyone else is.

FWIW, my revolting was not a spite move, it was what I thought needed to happen.

To what end?

[pindicator]

I explained it in my thread, but if we're not ending the game then I shouldn't write about it here.

Well, I asked because it seems as though we are ending the game. But I'll just read it there when we get some more consensus on calling the game.

[Mr. Cairo]

I owe you an apology Pindicator, I made a mistake looking at your techs and thought you had Rifling  Totally forgot Banking was a pre-req for Rep Parts.
So I thought you had a lot more of a chance than in reality.

Minor spoiler just on the minor chance we continue, safe for Pindicator's eyes.

Specifically I thought you could upgrade those Muskets in Karego-At into Rifles, which would have slowed OT4E down quite a lot (or cost him a lot of Cavs to get through.)

Sorry about that.

I want to continue, saying that I wanted to express 2 things:
 1) It is dull and boring to fight against a player who knew about the threat of being attacked and did absolutely nothing. It is boring to fight cavs against muskets.
 2) People naturally lose interest if they dont get their turn regularly. In my memory increasing timer never worked well for PBs. Whatever number is set on clock it ticks down and you still need pauses, but the discipline disappears completely. So far I was playing almost every my turn in time. But I am often tied to the 2nd phase of split against guys who doesnt visit game that often.

In response to 1), I'll just say you either lose now or lose later. This game was decided within the first 50 turns
