	The ISDG needs you.... Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

This game needs an infusion of something...what exactly, I'm not sure...

How about one or two or 27 of you guys pop in from time to time and say something...anything...please!!!...

Thanks.

BF, sorry to fail you, man, but I keep bumping into this bloody 24-hour-per-day barrier these days...

Maybe we could make a deal!

Make GoW and GS turn their legions back home - and I promise to say something in the ISDG forum every single day...

Hi there. Beta is the man who needs to authorize you...maybe now he'll see this and get that done.

Hence, GWT was declared the winner.

I don't mind winning but I wished it to happen in another way, having a long bloody war first would have been perfect


Are you guys thinking of opening your private forum btw? I think that's going to happen with GWTs forum. After some 'cleaning', some smart guy diceded it would be smart to use the same password for both the ISDG and PTWDG1


An AAR seems to be starting at the UN btw, do you feel like contributing or do you prefer to be quiet?

Congrats, and kudos, Bongo. I'm only a lurker on the ISDG but the 'Poly team hold you guys in high regard.

Yes, it's a shame it couldn't play out - but DG teams and games are hard enough to hold together even without a long-term 'fly in the ointment' upsetting many players and teams - as there seems to have been in that game.

Exactly.

Polys should never be open.
The inflammatory & strategy threads are one in the same.

Or strategies you don't know yet.

Heh, I only managed to catch a glimpse, and then the whole "we resign" thing happened. Got in too late, I guess.

I'm still a bit lost... what was the 'fly in the ointment'? Why the resignations?

One of the main reasons is that the apathy in our teams wasn't going to improve now that the game faced a war-free period of building and researching up until marines were able to break through sea walls. A period that could take anywhere between 1 and 2 years at the pace the game had been going.

Actually 90% of the inflammatory posts are directed at our own people (I definitely can lay claim to 10-15% of those flames). The other 10% are directed elsewhere...

You tell me APO was suffering from 'peace weariness'?


You should have waited, we were planning on invading CFCs territory once we got our own coast properly defended

Besides, why didn't you land in western catcheria, it was thoroughly underdefended, we could have had lots of fun chasing each other on the open plains

bongo, I was not so involved in the ISDG, more a lurker than anything else. There was not a lot to do either in our forum, apathy was king. However, from what I saw, there never was going to be an invasion if played right, not on our side, nor on CFC's side. In the time it would take you to sail our way, we could have got a sea wall up. As there was nothing to gain from letting you land, I'm pretty sure that that would have been the plan for the next 10 turns... the only thing left was racing for marines.

We knew that

Well, not really "knew" but assumed since it's what we would've done if we were you. The last plans before I quit the consulship in september was sending back the fleet to set up a reaction force in case you were to land on CFC. Likewise set up naval pickets to get sufficient turns warning before you landed.

Just as we 'knew' you were coming for Ruhrpott.

My pet plan (which was so ambitious the rest of the team may have stopped it ) was to use 3 fleets. One decoy fleet going from Ruhr and westwards. 10+ ships, max 3 with cargo. The *real* fleet heading towards CFC somewhat later, 10+ ships here as well, mostly full. And a 'sneaky fleet' of 2-4 ships aimed at taking out CGNs last city.

I would expect CFCs core to be well covered so we might have landed in the unsettled area to their north instead. Might even build a city there to grab silk and annoy you


Did I mention we had a prebuild for magellan going btw? REady in...6 or 7 turns?
