"A Song of Ice and Fire", veterans-only game, MA. In progress, midgame...

[Aethyr]

Corwin, I completely agree with you. Unfortunately, it appears that the nation has already been set to AI. Hopefully, Ermor and Van will fall upon each other to help ensure that balance is maintained.

I had planned a lengthy post defending myself but really it's not worth it. I had posted here explaining my leaving as a courtesy, had I simply gone AI none of you would have noticed the difference in all likelihood and in the future I might consider doing just that rather than having to deal with this nonsense.

If you have anything pressing you feel you must say to me, do it in a PM. Leave the thread for things that actually matter to the game.

ROFL, you honestly think you would have been able to just go quietly AI in a 'vets only' game without anyone noticing. This wasn't some newb teaparty game you signed up to you know, where nobody notices anything, or where players generally just don't give a crap about what's going on outside the little world in which only their own nation exists.

A quick glance at the high class player list shows there's enough experience in this game to make it unlikely that you are even going to be able to take a piss without one of the vet players knowing about it. A lot of vets check stuff like stales and AI status on the llamaserver before even opening their turn file. So any sudden AI-turning will be spotted immediately.

"had I simply gone AI none of you would have noticed..." Now THAT is funny.

Well, that remark clearly shows everyone what type of player you are, and the kind of respect you hold for your fellow Dominion gamers. But thanks for letting all the other Dominions players know what level of respect you have for them. Much appreciated.


Maybe your biggest mistake in this game was signing up for a game that was far in excess of your very casual and care free commitment to MP games. Despite the OP clearly stating the opposite was required in points 2+3. Maybe you didn't even bother to read the OP though, and you just signed up for this game simply because you saw a new game starting.

I'm certainly a veteran, but I am playing this game for fun. You can notice that I didn't sign Baalz pledge, so I reserve the right to have a childish tantrum at any time, should I wish to do so. And, in general, I don't think it's cool to "police" sportsmanlike conduct too strictly. If Fakey is dead and doesn't want to stick around as a spoiler, I view that as fair. It's up to him if his position really is hopeless.

I signed up anticipating a challenge, so I welcome this development, as it will make the opposite corner of the board substantially more powerful. When Heliophagii and Seraphs are duking it out with magebane in space, I will know that this was the seed of the overconfidence that will be my enemy's downfall! HA HA HA HA!

[Corwin]

Ok guys, let's try to keep it civil and polite please.

Besides as Aethyr said, there is nothing that can be done at this point. Let's move on.

Of course there is, you can all concede to the Ermorian Empire and spear yourself the pain, suffering and humiliation...

The High Council of Pythium Empire will consider your proposal. Some of the eldermen there are no strangers to pain and suffering. But I am afraid the hotter heads may preveal...

[Lingchih]

Thanks for the input. I officially drop the ban request, and look forward to the rest of the game.

And, DrP, you don't need to sign Baalz' pledge. We all know you don't drop out of games.

[Lingchih]

Well, there aren't many indies left, but those that are left are bad mofos. You sure this was indy 5, Corwin?

[Dimaz]

I'll be away 2-12 of August. I have temporary sub (Kuritza) who is aware of my plans and agreements. I asked him to check PM box here periodically, but please don't count on it too much.
