there's some entertaining wars going on, no doubt. I think Boron should be difficult to stop though, as he has been unmolested the whole game, and likely has blood going strong, as well as his crazy castling.

However, the reason for this post is that Tauren still hasn't set Mictlan to AI, even though I was quite explicit in the PM's when he took over T'ien Chi a few turns ago. I know he probably feels mictlan is too minor for it to be a problem, but it really is illegitimate. I'm glad he's running t'ien chi, since t'ien still has a significant position in the game, but I'm going to have to have someone set Mictlan to AI for him.

sorry Tauren, but you can't reasonably play two nations in the same game. Now, luckily, the AI will probably continue doing exactly what you have been doing - building a small raiding force, and proceding to cause grief to the vans

Well Tien Chi is getting rampaged by myself(marignon) and pythium. I bet Tien Chi would die faster than mictlan lol. Just let him keep Mictlan, its not like he is staling his turns. It wouldn't be right to turn someone AI because they want to fight to the bitter end.

Tauren is never the Last person to do his turn so he isn't holding up the game at all so I don't see what the problem is. Yeah the AI can do the same thing and defend but if he is having fun doing what he is doing then let him play because either scenerio is the same for you arch.

well, its just generally not right to have someone control two nations. I wasn't aware that tien chi was being steamrollered though. i'm open to following the general will on this; its not like I would expect Mictlan to be able to do much differently as either played or AI.

yeah tien chi before tauren subbed went aggressive on pythium bec pythium and i our armies accidently collied and pythium took heavy losses

tien chi invaded pythium and i gave pythium aid by invading tien chi

tien chi has like no hope to winning, pythium and i both border tien chi's capital also now lol

tien chi = 0% chance survival

To me there are two priciples involved. The 1st is that one player doesn't play two nations in the same game. The advantages over other players are obvious. The 2nd is that if a player agrees to set a nation to AI as condition for taking over another nation in the same game, then that player ought to be true to their word.

As far as I know, the player involved hasn't responded at all to our host's attempts to get him to set Mictlan to AI as he agreed to do, and this is also objectionable.

I agree that the relative feebleness of both nations is a mitigating factor, but on balance, I think its beside the point. I wouldn't mind seeing both nations set to AI using the master password.

Truthfully i never agreed to set Mictlan to AI. I was just going to take over T'ien Ch'i as a favor to those who didnt seem to want them set to AI. If general concensus is that I shouldn't be playing two nations, which is indeed reasonable, then I will set T'ien Ch'i to AI, and continue playing Mictlan.

ehh as tien chi is on the way out, it seems, which i wasn't quite aware of, I'm certainly happy to have whatever people say should happen, happen.

and, while its true tauren never explicitly said he would go AI, he never denied it either in response to my PM's to him.

if tien chi is on the way down this is rather moot, but it is still an important general principle, so whatever

Because T'ien Ch'i is probably going to die before Mictlan even(!), i didn't think it was a big deal. But i agree that it is an important general principle. I am prepared to set T'ien Ch'i to AI if people want me to, as i am loathe to give up Mictlan.

Aku · #**149** September 7th, 2004, 07:44 PM

i dont care if tauren controls both since both nations are going to die anyway

but if he is required to turn one AI and wants to keep mictlan then we turn tien chi to AI and leave it at that

Gee, can _I_ control two nations for several turns too? That'd be neat, having the opportunity to send gems and gold back and forth, forge items with one nation for the other and all. And it's okay, as long as one of the nations is going to die, right? Ooops - _all_ nations but one eventually die. Guess it's okay to run any two nations?

Feh.
