Yes, possibly our most harmonious and cooperative session ever. In fact, I would propose sending Horse to Iraq and Deity to North Korea on diplomatic missions. With their patience, tact and tolerance, Iraq and North Korea would both succumb to their diplomatic skills and the world would be a safer place.

I'd suggest Hydey go too, except he'd probably forget to go to the airport.

It was longer than 20 minutes. A 20+ minutes turn in the B.C. era would have to go down in Civ folklore.

deity (2100 B.C.): aha!
deity (2100 B.C.): tis a horse

1650BC and 10:30pm What follows is Horse taking an hour to negotiate two borders – one with Trev and one with me. He pauses on his turn and refuses to continue the game play.

deity (1650 B.C.): horse, you want a border down there?
From Mr. Horsie (1650 B.C.): where?
deity (1650 B.C.): not there!
From Mr. Horsie (1650 B.C.): where my horse is - yes

From King Horsie (1650 B.C.): you never claimed it
deity (1650 B.C.): i saw it first then

deity (1650 B.C.): trev at longitude 45
From King Horsie (1650 B.C.): sorry we're negotiating borders, here
deity (1650 B.C.): do it later

From King Horsie (1650 B.C.): I am not wasting time, I cannot complete my turn until I know what I am doing with my horses

From Madman Don Rumsfeld (1350 B.C.): apologies don't become you, Horse
From King Horsie (1350 B.C.): its mainly for Trev's sake - he's new
From Madman Don Rumsfeld (1350 B.C.): don't worry, he sees through your apologies
From King Horsie (1350 B.C.): you should send in inspectors.........

Remember, this was Horses turn where he held up play for 30 mins at 1650BC and was NOT moving any units. He was simply negotiating borders! You do NOT EVER slow down the game play like this. It is a most selfish act.

I quite often have to move units NOT knowing the outcome of negotiations that are under way... it's part of the dynamics of an evolving situation. In fact I use this to enhance the negotiations. Horse does not realise how close he came to war in that first session...

No I had units to move subject to the outcome of the negotiation. That was the problem. I was also negotiating with 2 people at once. Highly unusual.

That would have been a laugh - you had like 3 cities and a couple of NON units and I had something.

I thought the outcome was fair. So its saved a lot time in the long run.

Yes Horsie, we all know you had two units to move two squares in 30 mins..... I've never played anyone else who has held up play for half an hour before moving units pending the outcome of negotiations.

Horsie - you are a joke

Deity, your wrong.
Its completely justified to hold play until a border dispute is worked out. The result of the border dispute weighs on which direction you would move your units.

And all that KC shows is what normally takes 5 minutes with a rational player takes 5 times longer when you're trying to get some sense out of a shrieking parrot.

So you think it's OK to hold up play for 30 mins while negotiations occurr?

You never did that. You always negotiated within seconds!

I suggested a grid reference and you agreed 20 minutes later...

You seemed to be talking to Trev most of the time.

I spent the whole 30 mins whinging about you, not negotiating...
