well, seems like the #2 team is not who I thought they were, IH didn't update me on this 90th minute lineup change. they wish to continue so it seems like the only sensible course of action is to keep on going, at least for a few more turns.

hopefully those of you who have given up on this game already will not chain stale but rather play it out, as the game is still not entirely over it seems.

I'll keep the extension though, to not mess the timing up for you guys, and to give everyone enough time to get back into the game and fight it out for at least a few more turns.

Well, I know the reasons for everything that's happening, but let's wait with it till the game is over.

Everyone should just try as hard as possible to do their job and we will be fine.

Could the #2 team declare themselves or something? Because i submit it is pointless to continue, and if the #2 team had any sense they'd realize that.

Possibly more in line with the 'secrecy' requirements, i will declare myself to one of them if they'll declare themself to me (via PM), and we can talk about why this game is now over. Maybe I can convince them to see reason.

I don't see the four hours or so the next turn is going to take me to script as being a worthwhile use of my time when I know its ultimately irrelevant. And since the winner is obvious...

Would you prefer 'I can personally guarantee they aren't going to win'?

I see no point in whining about the length of the game when there are extremely clear win conditions. 10 VP out of 26 is in no way unreasonable to actually achieve. If you want to give up, go AI.

The game ends when a team wins or the admin declares the game finished by another means (be they by whatever means and methods the admin feels appropriate at the time).

The game does not end just because one player/team wants it to, or one player/team is throwing a hissy fit.


I also would like to remind everyone of a few of the rules of this game, as posted in the OP, and which were clearly visable to all players before they signed up, and with it a commitment from themselves to this game for the length if its duration.

I would like to think all the players currently left in this game are capable and mature enough to continue following these rules until the game comes to an end. We have already had too many instances of the top most rule being broken in this game, and so it does not need any further instances of that rule being broken.

Some players would like to see the game ended here, some would not. For those that do wish the game to end here, please have some respect and consideration for your fellow players who prefer to keep playing. And also enough respect not to break the game rules just to spite them.

If anyone feels their time is now too valuable to be used in playing this game until whatever conclusion it comes to, or suddenly feel the need to break the rules. Then please out yourself now as a complete and utter douche-bag and wanker for all to see, as my black list could do with some updating.

Everyone in the game should either play to win or to make sure someone else does not win. It's much better than asking the game to be declared finished. I am quite sure that if some team will see an opportunity to win, they will use it. And if it's quite obvious, there is no need to rush it and spoil the fun of the game actually reaching victory conditions.

I would like to point out this is a holiday week/weekend in the US, and many of us may not be able to guarantee our proximity to our computers.
