New Live Game - Commedia dell"Arte LIVE 8 - gameID=36059
What better way to spend your lunch break today...? (Western European Summer Time).

That's a long lunch break...

Aight, sod lunch, I'm in. Who's in this one by the way?

AWESOME!

I love Commedia, one of my favorite theatre forms to act and stage (just for fun and classes with friends, but still...)

Uh, what time is that for Pacific Time in America (ie, California) because I'd DEFINITELY want to join...

Finalise where possible please guys. I now have to be out of here by 2.30 (BST) which is awkward, sorry. Thanks!

Yup.

I'm in this game and I think the game should be cancelled ... the server error left us without 3 players, so it's not quite the same sports anymore...
hopsyturvy (521 D)
18 Aug 10 UTC
I sort of agree, but would leave it up to the bigger remaining powers
Rait (10151 D(S))
18 Aug 10 UTC
they should read the forum post about that first...
hopsyturvy (521 D)
18 Aug 10 UTC
You could try a draw vote as well, might be more palatable to Italy
Rait (10151 D(S))
18 Aug 10 UTC
that's not a draw ... if there was a techincal error that hindered the game, this should be cancelled ...not drawn....
zarat (896 D)
18 Aug 10 UTC
Yeah well if people can't check back after 5 minutes I don't think they should be rewarded. I would agree to a draw since E/G/F may have stopped A/I. At least this was possible. And I hate cancelling games as much as I hate benefitting from people disappearing.
hopsyturvy (521 D)
18 Aug 10 UTC
Shame to abandon a game like that, but I agree with what you say
Rait (10151 D(S))
18 Aug 10 UTC
well, if You couldn't access website due to the server error, this is not quite the same as not showing up.... I think we could pause the game for 10 minutes & try to find a reasonable solution
doofman (201 D)
18 Aug 10 UTC
should we be talking about a game still in progress.. a gunboat game indeed..
i mean it was alright.. but zarat is now starting to stray towards game tactics specifics
Rait (10151 D(S))
18 Aug 10 UTC
in case of a long-phase game I would agree with You, but as this is a blitz game then not being able to access the site for 5 minutes kind of already means that the game can't be played anymore...
zarat (896 D)
18 Aug 10 UTC
Sorry about that, but the game is ruined anyway.
Rait (10151 D(S))
18 Aug 10 UTC
that's exactly my point...
Rait (10151 D(S))
18 Aug 10 UTC
if You say that You don't like to cancel games that I wouldn't draw games that easily... draw means that there is no chance for this game to end without someone either making serious mistake or deliberately giving up (their position, alliance) ....
Rait (10151 D(S))
18 Aug 10 UTC
could You please pause the game?
Rait (10151 D(S))
18 Aug 10 UTC
...well ....at least it reminded me the downsides of such games....
zarat (896 D)
18 Aug 10 UTC
Once again sorry for bringing up specifics, I tried to be vague but obviously I was out of line.
doofman (201 D)
18 Aug 10 UTC
thanks for the games guys..
the decision on what to do shouldn't be made here.. it's a gunboat so it should be made through what we signal through the game..
Night dudes
hopsyturvy (521 D)
18 Aug 10 UTC
Can't we just end it? A/I have already been very sportsmanlike to offer the draw, given the situation. The alternative is to hand it to them, which I would also be happy with as they've earned it. A pause just drags it out unnecessarily.

Sorry to talk about game specifics again there guys, but I think the tactics/strategy part of this game is done.
Rait (10151 D(S))
18 Aug 10 UTC
thanks for the game - was quite interesting until G/E dropped out
hopsyturvy (521 D)
18 Aug 10 UTC
Thanks guys. It's the first real flop of a live game I've had in a while, a shame.

Doofman, I think in a live game then when something external affects the game then it's fair to discuss it. We probably did cross the line, but I'm interested to hear what others think.

Anyway, well played doof and zarat. I'll get you next time :)

Next edition maybe 3 hours earlier....? Tuesday next (24th).
Cheers, guys - well played - loved France's recovery and Austria and Italy's smooth cooperation which of course doomed me right off - still: great fun, these quickie gunboats WTO's with a healthy pot!
hopsyturvy (521 D)
18 Aug 10 UTC
Yeah it would have been interesting to see what would have happened if they'd stayed in. Would they have realised that a stop-the-leader coalition was the only way to survive? Looking at their records, probably not.

So again, thanks for drawing guys, I think the game belonged to you by that stage (no offence Rait) so that was very sporting.
hopsyturvy (521 D)
18 Aug 10 UTC
Aha, Turkey! If only you'd forgiven me for opening to Bla once it was clear that AI were going to romp all over us..
hopsyturvy (521 D)
18 Aug 10 UTC
I could do another this afternoon if people want another shot around 3.30?

I'll password protect it so we don't have another newbie debacle. PM me if you're interested, and say whether you'd prefer press or gunboat, WTA or PPSC, and what pot sizes you'd consider.

For myself I'm leaning towards gunboat, WTA, 50pts, hopefully the password will do a better job than a high pot at keeping out newbies
zarat (896 D)
18 Aug 10 UTC
I'd love to have another gunboat tomorrow at about the same time, but I can't make it today.
Pantalone (1384 D(S))
18 Aug 10 UTC
Yeah - I am game too, tomorrow, same time as today or maybe even one hour earlier, say around 1130 hrs WEST (or 1030 GMT) - count me in! I need revenge......
Will you set it up this time, Hopsyturvy?
hopsyturvy (521 D)

I'm not really sure about tomorrow until it rolls around..

Is there a website that will allow me have one person (an admin) to input all the nations moves and let it play out? That way I don't have to buy a board game and we don't have to deal with peaces getting moved. Anyother way to use a computer to manage a face to face game?

Gunboat Done Properly
I've tried three gunboat games today, all of which have been spoiled by no-shows and cds. Frankly, I find it ridiculous that 3 games be ruined this way. If anyone is interested in doing it properly, I will create a 50 point buy-in game scheduled to start in 30 minutes. If you join, show up.
