Holiday Contest Game
- Autumn, 1905, Builds, , , , , , Octavious |
| Spring, 1904: Dang it. I guess I'm down two then. What are you allowed, three before you're out? | |
| Spring, 1904: Prostitution is gonna hit so many... | |
| Spring, 1904: Three sounds good. If you were playing in a professional sporting environment (at the pub for who buys the next round, say) it would be just the one, and the winner is the last man standing. But you'd also take turns, which doesn't really work in the global tab of an online diplomacy game. So yeah, I reckon you're out on the third strike, with glory going to whoever has the most impressive contribution when the game grinds to a halt. |
|
| Spring, 1904: Thank you for going easy on me :) So when someone is challenged successfully, does their contribution still stand? So, are authors allowed? |
|
| Spring, 1904: Sorry for the delay, everyone! I'm ready to unpause if you all are. | |
| Spring, 1904: The category associated with a successfully challenged person does not apply. | |
| Spring, 1904: So authors are fine, as are any Popes who haven't used prostitutes... which is probably one or two of the later ones | |
| Spring, 1904: Joan of Arc- no more martyrs | |
| Spring, 1904: rdrivera- no more unpausers. | |
| Spring, 1904: When we do unpause, do we want the mods to add more time? Or just continue with the short time left? | |
| Spring, 1904: I guess we're just going | |
| Spring, 1904: I'm good with that. but if anyone wants time added, email the mods. | |
| Autumn, 1904: Lol best season ever. I hate you, goldie |
|
| Autumn, 1904: But not much | |
| Autumn, 1904: Anna Kournikova - No more Russians | |
| Autumn, 1904: Thank you for playing, Octavious. Ever since you won the Online World Championship in 2015, I have been looking forward to playing with you. I think the non-anon game was hard for us, as the two of us started with big targets on our back. As I'm about to lose Sev next turn, and can unlikely hold Gre/Bul for long, hopefully the "targets" will soon glow on other's backs instead. |
|
| Autumn, 1904: Rip Octavious. Good playing with you again, even if it was briefly | |
| Autumn, 1904: Targets? I doubt I've counted as a high value scalp for years, especially in a friendly game like this :p. Still, pretending that I might is appreciated. Fun game, all |
|
| Autumn, 1904: Good Game Octavious! It was good playing with you. | |
| Autumn, 1904: Thanks for playing, octy... And thanks for the global game. | |
| Autumn, 1904: Could use and would appreciate the full retreat phase please, if the retreaters could be so kind to not ready orders. | |
| Autumn, 1904: I unreadied :-) | |
| Autumn, 1904: Thank you Crazy A and Octavious. Gentlemen even when enemies :) | |
| Autumn, 1904: Thank you Octavious, it's always a pleasure to play with you. | |
| Autumn, 1904: I really do believe targets were painted on anyone. At least not personal targets. If so, goldie would certainly have a neon one, as well as you two. But I cannot get a combination punch to hit him to save my life. Which indeed is what I needed to save my life. :-) If luke needs... we can continue to go full-time on the build/DISBAND phase. We usually have, in fact. |
|
| Spring, 1905: Riddle me this, Riddle me that, If Austria solves this puzzle, he will become big and fat. [Gre support holds Bul, Bla support holds Sev.] The Anglican may enjoy Greece's meats, But when he does, rdrivera will enjoy Constantinople, Ankara & Smyrna to feast! I do confirm for ALL to see, honor on full display, come whatever others may, That these two moves for sure will be. |
|
| Spring, 1905: I feel all Shakespearian... Or as we Germans say... "Willem Von Shakenspearen." |
|
| Spring, 1905: Whether in German, French, Italian or English, I realize that 10th line would read better.. "as feasts!" |
|
| Spring, 1905: Lol, you can’t offer Constantinople to Austria, if Aegean sails straight there ;-) | |
| Spring, 1905: Hmm, he's going for Con. Or not. Nice reverse psychology. He's really going for Smy. Or not. Perhaps nice double reverse psychology. He's really going for Con afterall, because I would never think he would tell me if he were. Well, either way... Viva Austria! |
|
| Folk, sorry to do this... I would appreciate a pause for a couple of days. We have intermittent power at present, it is -8 F, and the plumbing in many of our neighbor's homes is freezing... and I am an amateur plumber. Sorry. |
|
| Moderator: (peterwiggin): Paused by request. Let me know if this is a problem. | |
| Ok. Stay warm, dargorygel! | |
| We should have full electricity after tomorrow, and temperatures approaching freezing again. Thanks for the pause. I should be able to unpause in 36 hours. | |
| I am ready to unpause, thanks | |
| Hey folk... Is this game dead? | |
| I'm ready to unpause--Austria and France? | |
| Sorry, yes | |
| Game is a sorry state. I reckon the only sensible option is to cancel... | |
| Sorry, I didn't notice the unpause votes. Should we reset the deadline? France didn't have orders in. | |
| Octavious (!) is privately pressuring me to resurrect him from the dead by returning Sevastopol to him before he will agree to vote unpause, and I am verge of giving in. | |
| *on the verge of... | |
| "I am Verge" sounds like a new SciFi movie. | |
| I am happy to reset the deadline myself, if EVERYONE asks in here for it. When (if) we unpause. :-) | |
| rdr, please don't vote unpause until we hear from goldie... it is a fairly short time until phase end. And unlike you lot, I would not want to take unfair advantage of him. (hoping hoping hoping that rdr disregards this request, unpauses, and goldie is sleeping...) |
|
| lol | |
| Lol, you bad boy Germany | |
| Thanks, I hadn't even realized there was such little time left | |
| @rd, I already offered you Bul, so no need to keep holding the pause over my head. You and Octavious can rock-paper-scissor over who gets Sev. |
|
| Unlike some people think I can't summon dead people so I guess I can't rock-paper-scissor with Octavious. But I will carefully consider your offer.... |
