HOTW2 was NOT a 'shambles', it was a bloody great game |
It WAS a great game yes, btu now it is in shambles. Abandoned. No one showed up! I mean yeah, there may have been excuses and all, but the simple fact of the matter is, we wanted to have a good time. A fun game. And HOTW was not fun at the end. Too long of turns, too many arguments, too many problems. No ones fault, but the game is over. No one is denying it, so whats the harm of calling the game in shambles??? It is!

And your cosy parameters for a game here are unbelievable. You in the recovery ward or something
But seriously I think you have a very confined idea of what real civing is all about - diplo or otherwise... |
Cosy parameters? What cosy parameters? We decided we wanted to play a game a little differently than a normal game. Is that ok Deity? You point the finger at me, but this is what Pro and Raz wanted as well. They were sick of the mindless and very boring combat at the end of hotw and were looking for a little down time from it. It was refreshing to be able to just play a game. It was a lot of fun. So please stick your judgemental opinions where the sun doesnt shine.
I have a very confined idea of what real civving is about Deity? Civving is to every person a different thing. Because it doesnt fit into your mold doesnt mean it isn't "right". I can't believe you said that even. I played hotw the way it was supposed to be played. Out of every player in the game, I was the only one to show every week and post every week. I didn't post when it was convenient for me (Judge #1 - Deity). I didnt show up when it was convenient for me (Judge #2 - Capo).
Seriously, you two need to get off that high hourse of yours. It's disgusting. Telling me what civving is and isnt. You say diplo game is the way to play but in the end, neither of you played the game by the way you preach.

If anything this is an abomination of a Diplogame, much like the Taliban is an abomination of Islam... |
An abomination of a diplogame is writing great stories but never showing up. Capo talks the talk, but never walks the walk. One has to both play the game and post consistently. I did both.
This is as much a diplo game as any, it is just being played in a diifferent mold. There is no such thing as a "perfect" diplo game capo. Just becauise the all mighty diplogod capo says it isnt a diplo game don't mean sh1t to me. I have done as much or more for the genre. And I will continue to do so.
Know why more people dont't play diplo games capo? Because of your high and mighty, arrogant bs. You talk of the game as if its the second coming of christ and then you only show half of teh time, never bothering to find a sub or anything. You not showing up help to ruin the game in a very real sense. How is one supposed to diplomatically interact with europe when its being run by the AI? It can't! For a diplo game to really work it needs more consistent leadership. Period. And capo, you have never filled that bill. (remember hotw1?)

Drake, Raz and Prom put this thing to waste and come back to the dark side!
And Prom, you have so much potential, at least play some more hardcore diplogames before going into THIS! |
What is THIS? Some harmless fun? We're going to have a good time capo. Right now I don't even know if I want to play hotw. Not with this crap you and deity are pulling.
Capo driving away people.....hmm sounds familiar.

Heh, it’s a game, we can play it any damn way we want… Personally I don’t bother to debate such issues. I think that you people just like to make issues out of nothing, its Civ for God’s sake, not exactly the most important thing in the world.
As far as I am concerned, we could call it the ultimate way to play Civ and it wouldn’t matter to me. But dear god the amount of people who would post here saying “No it’s not” the us responding with “ yes it is” and so on….
It is all a matter of preference on how you want to play the game, and I am just playing to play, I wanted a flexible game seeing as how I don’t know my schedule for the upcoming year and don’t want to make a long term commitment, this game will be over relatively fast and if I drop it, I doubt it will be that big of a deal to you and Raz so my thinking is that you shouldn’t even bother to reply to them, there is no need to debate the “right” way to play civ, because there is none, as long as you have fun.

In the end only you and I wanted to continue but the others had become casualties in the intervening weeks. So, if it was a shambles...... guess who?
