I had put OPD in to the slot, because he had posted that he would replace any players that had left. It was after that I had seen that he was placed in the rotation of another game

So, Sir Ralph, are you going to play or what? If so, you have the save and lets get cooking.

One more time i woud like to ask Sir Ralph & E_T to put aside their differences, make peace and play the game. The tourney is bigger than you 2 players, however any further bickering could make it grievous for all of us. I am not a quitter by no means, I hate when someone quits, but i have honestly thought about getting someone to replace me because of not only this little spat, but also some other whining that has gone on. Please, dont take that comment as my saying i want to quit, what i am saying is all the whining, all the complaining, all the crying is making this tourney not fun for the peace loving religious farmers known as the Celts, we have yet to build a city and currently our thoughts have been on sailing away from this world to avoid it all, and we would do it if the world wasn't flat and we weren't afraid of falling off.

I already sent it to Paddy a few hours ago. I wonder if you want to boot me again tomorrow. Was quite an unfriendly surprise this morning.

I'm glad this is being resolved.

Game 1 will likely be restarted with a new map only because of Rommel2D's mishap.
I can do nothing about seafaring civs being far from water. All the starts had to be preset to ensure that my slight editing was preserved. This would prevent the game itself from putting searfaring civs on the coast. Since we chose to pick civs randomly, my hands are tied.
Just find the ocean and build a city fast.

A new map will be made for Game 1 tomorrow.

Game 5 is still being delayed. Unless I'm much mistaken, I only have passwords from MasterZen, SAMUEL2904, and Beta. I'm still waiting, Arnelos.

octavian, not 2 add 2 ur workload, but would it not b possible since u play / skip our first turns when u put in the passwords 2 check who is seafaring, and then if they are seafaring go back into the map, and edit it further to have their start coastal, would seem only fair since the game itself would have placed them there. after doing this, you could then choose our civs instead of going random again based upon what civs we were given initially? i think this is the only fair way to handle seafaring civs, especially since one of the advantages of beinf seafaring is a coastal start.

Having to locate the ocean before building your first city can be a pretty significant disadvantage. Isn't avoiding situations like this the only reason to have the first turn previewed at all? If there's no way for you to get seafaring civs on the coast, we actually have a better chance of a fair start without any moderation.

He has a point. The map is saved as a scenario, right?

Just restart if a Seafaring civ starts in the middle of Asia.

@ E_T:

Impressive story. I´ve heard in the past weeks from some people who have been laid off / out of work and not all of them had such a positive attitude to do something to get a new job as you had. Respect. I wish you luck that you really can keep the job you´re now in although it´s quite uncomfortable to work at night.

It's not nice out there right now. A lot of people have given up looking for a while, which would make the unemployment rate higher if they are.

I just heard about a groserystore chain that's shutting down and putting 3000 people (IIRC) out of work.

I'm very thankful to have what I can.

Game 1 people: Sorry, but I don't feel comfortable re-assigning the old civs. New map, new civs. I don't think it's fair to other tournament players, who all had their civs picked at random. They didn't get any special treatment when it came to the placement of their civs, seafaring or not.

Like I said, the only reason this game is being restarted at all is because Rommel2D accidentially saw what he wasn't supposed to see.

Luck of the draw, my friends.

I'm going to create your new map, but I won't send it off for 24 hours or so, just in case someone comes up with really good reason for me not to take the course of action I've already outlined.

No, it isn't fair that some players were given civs with a trait made weak to start with due to map settings, then additionally stripped of one it's benefits. I guess the important thing is that the games are started...

I don't object... as I mentioned in the other thread: I wouldn't mind getting some really crappy civ, as long it's not the you-know-what-civ

I don't think we should do some more advertising, otherwise the final game would be a battle of 8 players...

Maybe we could start a second tournament for those who didn't make it to Tournament one, but I don't think we should start that one before this tournament has been started....
