Ehhhh i don't know

hmmm i don't know if i want to start a game again or not. if some people post on this thread that they want to play one and if i'm interested in playing with them then i'll make one. players like say, hellalt, draug, thucydides, ghost, figles(where has he been for crying out loud) djbent? or any other regular forum posters. something that will challenge me and hurt my brain.

Just venting - another idea on CD's

With our endless programming resources, I think that anyone who has "left" a game or went CD (they would be the same, no?) should be unable to process a move in any other game until they rejoin and move.... and should suffer a two week "time out" in the penalty chair. :)

How do you play live non-gunboat?

I'm new to the board (but not to the game) and I played in a live gunboat game recently. At times it seemed like five minutes was barely enough to finish thinking through your orders and doublechecking them, especially if you have a lot of units. So what I want to know is, how do people play this way in non-gunboat? I don't think I could possibly keep up even two conversations and submit orders in that timeframe. Am I just slow?

You're just not used to the orders yet. Live game means that you won't be talking to everybody every turn, but it's still doable to talk to the critical 2 people you need to be at any time.

Well, yes, it certainly is a challenge, but everyone has the same time constraint so everyone is dealt the same handicap. Thinking quickly and communicating concisely are a big part of the game.

you submit orders, don't finalise, and then chat.. and if you've time to change them if needed, do that last. Once orders are saved, but not finalised, you won't miss the turn

Heh, well I think it's safe to say I boffed that one :) I'll probably stick to longer games or Gunboat.

It has been covered, but i am going to post anyways because I am egotistical.

It is difficult at first, but once you're used to entering the orders, and get a better eye for what you're supposed to do, you actually spend most of your time conversing, rather than inputting orders.

groza528 (518 )

I think it's more that I'm not used to *analyzing* that quickly... So I'm going to work on my board analysis a little bit more before I attempt another one.

I like to play live games and I often do that. I can't answer the question though. I think live games are rather mad!

I do better in live games with press than in the gunboat ones. Of course, I've lost every gunboat I've played here, live or not, so that's not saying much. At this point, I guess I've played enough games that I can analyze most positions in a few seconds, although I might spend a minute on something tricky. (Obviously, I'll take time to consider the strategy more deeply in a normal game, but I just have to go with my gut feelings in live games). As for press, I type quickly enough that most turns, I say something to most of the other players, and I try to exchange several messages with each of my neighbors (assuming that they're talking to me at the moment). So my advice, I guess, is to play 100+ games, GM another 200 or so, type quickly, and you'll be set?

Liberal Democrats

I think it is very interesting what is happening to the Liberal Democrats in the UK. Since they went into coalition government with the evil Tories, party members have been quitting in their thousands, with many apparently joining the Labour Party, which has reported the biggest influx of new members for several years. Is anyone here a Lib Dem supporter? What's your view?

Auto-disband?

Hey there-

I suspect this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find the information so here goes: how come it hasn't been coded in the software to auto-disband units when there is no other choice available to the player?

iPod / moblie compatable

I would like to see the website become iPod compatible. I already know that iPods will work with the game but I would like to see a friendlier interface. Plus people being able to submit their moves on the go would be much easier and we'd have less people missing turns.

Any ideas?

American and Europe: Did We Get Kicked Out? Walked Out? Both?

I love hockey, so I go to hockey forums to have a chat--second they find out I'm American half of the Canadian fans automatically assume I think American franchises are better (they're not, by the way.) On other sites, LOTS of Euro/US bashing, on both sides, but it seems the Euros have the edge. It's like the Euros/Canada have a club, and we're not invited...or were and then got crossed off for...who? What? Why can't we be in the Western Culture Club again?

Live game IM group

Those of you that play live games probably realise that the system for setting them up isn't perfect. There are often 7 players up for a game who don't quite overlap or miss games that have been started. When you do get a game started, it's not uncommon to get a CD, and it seems to attract the occasional cheater as well.
