mid_Unlucky game on Gandalfs server (started)

[Saint_Dude]

I set the Giants to AI this turn. They had nothing to do anyway other than sit around and watch as their lands were slowly consumed by T'ien Ch'i. This game has moved much too slowly for that to be an interesting activity.

If the game were called now, it would have to be considered a tie between Mictlan and T'ien Ch'i.

Yep I would just call it a tie between Mictlan and Tien Chi.

Mictlan and I actually had a pact to conquer the world that was set in motion several turns ago, so we were just doing a charade of hating each others guts hahaha

But without Vfb, that would not be as fun.

Uh ... Mictlan was actually also secretly allied with TC.

The Mictlan nation was flip-flopping back and forth indecisively, trying to decide who to betray first. Hence our crushing of CTis's dominion (but backing off at the last minute out of guilt) and our backstabbing of TC with a surprise 999-slave AC (and the caster of which offing himself shortly thereafter in fit of despair).

So, we are not deserving of any recognition of victory or anything like that. TC should be declared the winner of Unlucky, in Mictlan's opinion, since TC and CTis would have soon figured out what Mictlan was up to, and ganged up on Mictlan together.

Sorry to have had to bow out before the action-packed finale!

hahaha quite excellent move my friend =)

I quite suspected something like that, and I was prepared to give all my possessions to TC before I got dominion killed =)

Well, I happily concede to TC also. Congrats TC, well played!

Yeah, same here. Sad not to be able to set up a round of cataclysmic battles.

I'm just out-dominion'd right now, life keeps interfering.

If we can close the game it would be one less sub I'd need to get. I'll even withdraw from the "I win" race

Now, I wish there was a way to set everyone to AI afte a game is called and monitor progress. Used to be able to do that with a lot of the Risk computer games, set everyone to computer and just watch things unfold quickly.

Anyway, fun and fantastic game. Kailasa was my early ally but wasn't terribly influential. C'tis was always a worthy neighbor, communicative and kept his word. Mictlan was my mid-late game ally and was great (except the AC!, although I was learning to live through it... respawning liches helped out).

I do feel slightly bad about turning everyone against Foodstamp, but at the time Ry'leh scared me the most and had a castle 2 steps from my capital. Once the gauntlet was thrown it was a fun battle.

And the giants, what a HUGE pain in the butt to knock them out of the castle. For a rock, BoB was excessively tough.

Too late to withdraw from the "I win" race. I believe that a consensus was already reached to call the game in your favor.

No point in getting a sub.
