Awestruck. New Late Age game. (Game over, Atlantis wins)

[dojango]

If we've already acclaimed Atlantis as the winner, there's not too much point in slogging through this, is there? It's time we moved into stage 5, acceptance.

[Amhazair]

Well, there's 4 people who're ready to call it quits (You, C'tis, Abysia and Midgard) and 3 who want to play on, (Ermor, Gath and Utgard) which constitutes a sizable minority. (Of which Ermor is currently trying to fight hard, and Gath has a plan to try to dom-kill everyone. Not that I feel too threatened for now.)

Also, I'd say it's bad form to end a (non-VP) game while not everyone is convinced it's over. (Except in the case of peripheral nations who did nothing all game. If those wanted to have a say they should have done something before.)

So, while I have trouble getting myself back into gear too I'd appreciate a final effort till even the doubters are convinced. (Don't like it? Kill of the people voting to play on. ) Also, I'm having a very busy week myself, so added 48h again. Sorry about that.

I don't really want to play on. I don't mind doing so for others.

[Valerius]

It seems like most of the sentiments in favor of continuing are more along the lines of showing good fighting spirit and maybe getting to try out some new things rather than doubting that Atlantis has won. While Amhazair a good tolerance for late game micro it seems a shame to have him keep putting in time managing 100+ provinces for a game that's decided.

I'm also waiting to see Exec's reaction because I don't think he'll be too thrilled at the idea of continuing to submit turns.

Similar sentiments here. At least I get to see what this mod did with the demon lords.

Oh, okey. Misunderstood you then. Looking back to the three posts that were made (more or less) in favor of continuing it looks like they indeed all are more along these lines than about really wanting to play on, as Valerius pointed out for me. My misunderstanding was probably caused by the shock & panick I felt about having to start playing again after I had mentally abandoned the game.

I guess (once again) we call it a day then. It's been fun, (I've been wanting to play Atlantis since I got the game, those eskimo toads just are too damned cute, but it had never happened before) Good game all, thanks for playing, see you all in the next one and all that shizzle.

Was indeed looking forward to his reaction...

That means:

Congrats Amhazair!

[jotwebe]

Indeed!

At least the great and ancient civiliation of Abysia was not vanquished by illiterate barbarians. It is a happy thought to keep us warm through the long, cold, cold, cold night ahead...

It was my understanding we declare Amhazair winner, everone but the three of us goes ai and the rest slug it on - is that an alternative yet?
If not - could you just send me the admin pw and I'll do it myself ?

[Amhazair]

I very much doubt you'll find anyone intrested in that. But, if you feel like it, be my guest. Was about to take down the game, but postponed hosting instead just in case you do find a companion for that mad plan.

You might have to PM everyone to get their attention though, (To play on or to turn their nations AI) I think most people stopped paying attention to this game.

Edit: And set myself AI just in case this happens.
