BF,

That post was not terribly helpful. I'm quite clear in mind, thank you.

Dominae stated, in response to Togas, that he felt it was unproductive to "publicly deface Lucky", making reference to Togas' last paragraph.

MZ, responding to Dominae's post, also made reference to publicly defacing Lucky. It's relatively clear they are both referring to the same thing, which also happens to have been the subject of the past page and a half of this thread... feedback on Togas' post.

Now, can we PLEASE get back on subject? We still need to figure out what, if anything, we are sending to Lucky and in what form it should take.

I'm tired of dealing with all of this griping at each other.... so let's just let it rest.

can we all just please take a step back, catch our breath and just calm down?

Jeez this is getting to be as bad as entertaining my kids and all there cousins over the holidays, except they usually get along better than we are right now.

Yes I can get back on topic right now. I want to know what we want to get out of Lucky, what the goal is. I believe I asked that yesterday and it sort of got lost in all these extraneous posts.

The reason why Im asking is because if we get GWT buy in for a WW rule, we dont need Lucky, so why bother?

Ill be the first to admit that I maybe missing something.

But if the above goal I stated is the actual goal Ill make sure CGN is on board (a double check I know you have recently discussed this with them)

But I eventually need to know the agreement with GWT, kind of long winded and a tad off topic but I believe the councils know where I am going here.

Just to clear up some things:

My post was in response to DOMINAE. Look at it carefully! See the part where it says "Originally Posted by [team_member_who_I_am_replying_to]"? It is in response to him saying that we are using the same tactics as BF at the UN, which we aren't since I made it quite clear that we can publicly deface Lucky in a professional manner and that I trust Togas can pull it off.

There, now stop ranting all of you and misinterpreting things. We've already had enough discussion but it won't stop if everyone thinks whatever is said is an attack against them!!!

Peace.

On Topic..I'd like to send a harsh letter to Lucky, but excluding anything refering to the cheating.
For the same reasons Dom, and Arnie has already posted.

But this discussion of MZ's is MASSIVE news! Everyone put aside you other petty quabbles and look at it! If we can get GWT onside about this then we don't need to worry about this anymore!

Togas, I like most of your PM, but the parts that seem threatening (the one paragraph already singled out) are a bit much. In light of this new info that we could conceivably get an agreement to diplomatically pull the fingers at Lucky and resolve the WW crap, I think we should replace it with a request that Lucky/GCA please relent and let all teams come to an agreement, and remind him/them that they are the once cause for delay on this. We need to stop spending so much time worrying about Lucky/GCA if we have an alternative that bypasses him/them completely.

So, to summarise: send adjusted PM to Lucky/GCA, get agreement of some sort with GWT (even a non-ideal one, as long as it means WW goes!), then regardless of Lucky's/GCA's response we should have a solution.

Also according to the ruling by mongoose. Being able to capture cities is clearly broadening the scope of our war to an acceptable level again.

That is exactly the reason why we were offering you the compromise, and that is still valid. When you are removed from our continent we can either wait another 5 turns to accept peace, or accept peace next turn after you gift us your cities. And we additionally remove our presence from the old world.

Tired of ads?

Like I said in the other thread. Kill the dam galley and disband the cities "over there".

Frankly Im not surprised by this AT ALL.

Then get peace before we accept any more cities.

This quagmire of the ripple effects of allowing exploits is getting frustrating. And yes I know its not our fault.

Its our fault for holding onto those cities instead of abandoning them. Sure lucky is being a jackass, as usual, but we gave him ammunition to use against us. If you know someones playing dirty, why give them something they can use against us so easily? Make them work for it, not a freebie like this.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I said it in the other thread... I will say it in this thread.

Lucky has always said he will abide by a Mongoose Ruling.

Use this to our advantage.

Go to Mongoose, and ask for a ruling on this matter.
Argue our case.
Tell him to make a ruling that no waring has occuring in 5 turns. It is irrelevent if a battle can occur in 6 or longer turns. The ruling was for 5 turns.

Explain to him Lucky is abusing his previous ruling.
Explain to him the problem with his previous ruling and the loopholes Lucky is using.

Explain to him, as a moderator, he can admit that his previous ruling had problems.

Explain to him, he has every right to change the rules, and make a new rule for the sake of sportsmanship & the game.

Mongoose will appreciate that Lucky is abusing his rules, and after the last UN debarcle, would surely want to avoid another hold up of the game over WW abuse.

Tell him, that us having cities on that continent does not give GCA any ability to war on us, because we will see them coming and will disband them anyway.




2.
Accept the GWT proposal as is, on the condition that GCA sends us peace immeduately. We can write it in on the final agreement.
The GWT proposal has flaws... but these can be DISCUSSED LATER. We can modify the rules, with another 4 team vote.

Just accept the ruling and get rid our our current war weariness. We can negotiate the flaws out the ruling at a later date.



3.
Send a note to GWT, and ask them if they are a party to GCA's continual abuse of the WW exploit ? They (or some of them) can be reasonable, and they do want to get rid of the exploit. They may lean on Lucky to be a little more reasonably.



We have it in our grasp to gain peace from Lucky & also eliminate the WW exploit from the game.
All it takes is a little chatting with Mongoose on the matter, and the rallying of 4 teams to accept the GWT proposal.

Resolving the WW is another thing, which is what we should be debating whether to accept bongo's proposal as is or modifiy it.

Got spare money?

If GCA had to attack a Knight with a Spear in order to keep the WW hit on APO, then they(Lucky) would do it. Is it not clear that Lucky will search for any every excuse? What surprises me is that some on our team are want to remain 'cordial' with this guy. Like any amount of equally beneficial trades/talks/negotiations would ever take place with GCA from the moment we attacked them. I also feel that GWT, although not made in the same mold as GCA, will not lkikely ever be willing to work with us; the only exception to that is if CGN gets the upper hand in their war.

Diplomacy, the 'cordial' type, with GCA and, for the most part, with GWT, is a waste of time and only serves to further infuriate me and likely most others on this team.

What we need to decide is if holding those two cities over there another turn will do CGN any good. If so, then we need to find out if GCA can attack them this next turn or not. If CGN does not have that info, or has info that indicates GCA CAN attack on the next turn, then we cannot afford to let GCA take those cities and we should disband them this turn.

We can see GCA's navy near enough; can CGN sink the GCA threats to those cities?

Look's like some work for conmcb25.

H_E: I like your proposal alot.

Everyone is always saying that mongoose is weak and all that; well, empower the fellow. Get him to make a ruling and then we back him on it by not sending the turn onwards if the ruling was not followed to the letter. How hard is that?

Could the Consuls and the FAM comment on this and possibly take action?

Sigh, hasn't this gone on long enough - Lucky will find any excuse to avoid making peace - and if he doesn't have any he will DEFY Mongoose's rulings like he did initially.

IMO, time to do something - hold up the turn, send Lucky's message to Mongoose telling him that we view this as abusing his 5 turn ruling - and if that doesn't work (which it won't) - demand a UN vote calling for GCA's expulsion from the game for violating the admin's rulings and other violations (and to those in the C3C ISDG - seriously think about removing GCA there too).

Zargon is right - this game is rapidly becoming a joke and a farce especially with Lucky's antics and to a lesser extent GWT's complaints...

It will only be a joke so long as we let it.

1. Get ruling from Mongoose that if we disband the cities and send peace accepted to GCA they MUST accept it.

2. Disband the cities and send peace accepted.

3. If we do not have peace when we get the save back, refuse to play it until the 'right' save reaches us.

That is exactly what CGN had to do to make Mongoose's ruling re fortify all stick. That is exactly what we should do.

OK, it's ultimatum time:

either, armed with a Mongoose ruling, we issue an 'ultimatum' of sorts to Lucky through Mongoose - peace is the ruling, therefore peace must be offered accepted. We will take it.

OR, if Lucky stonewalls further against a Mongoose ruling, we get CGN, CFC and GWT onside about wanting to play the game further. If we let GWT know (very politely!) about Mongoose's ruling and how we are to stick to them, and that Lucky is breaking the rules in the most contemptuous manner, I am sure they will join us. They have already shown a desire to keep the game going in the face of disunity on a decision. We are not trying to disadvantage them, just to stop something even they admit is open to exploitation (that they too have proposed a solution for recently), that Mongoose has ruled upon. We may have to consider forcing GCA's turn if Lucky keeps his hubris any longer. Then they can go right back to war with us if they like - the WW will be done.

This was already, personally, my intended policy on the issue. We just refuse to let the game go on until Lucky abides by Mongoose's ruling, something Lucky has stated he will abide by.

Simple enough.

The long-term situation of whether to change mongoose's rules to something else in terms of WW will still need to be resolved, however.

Just a quibble, but I've seen many people say the same thing so...

GCA may not be required to offer peace. They may be required to accept peace that we offer. There is a difference, and if we are not absolutely clear as to the mechanics of getting peace from GCA via a ruling from Mongoose, we may well still be debating this a month from now.

It is my understand that it is us who have to offer peace on this turn. If Lucky, for what ever reason does not accept it by the time we get the save back, we hold it.

Then as nye says we must find all quotations involved - Mongoose's ruling, where Lucky said he would abide by it and what exactly must happen for peace to be accepted, and then go ahead.

I hope right makes might.
