RBPB3 - Gandhi of the Egyptians

[Rodge]

Ah, much simpler - I'm sure there'll be plenty of time for proper war reports later in the game.

I'm glad to see that roleplaying Gandhi hasn't totally removed aggressive diplomacy from the options though!

[Krill]

I believe in an eye for an eye, but I'm planning on swapping heads first, with me going first.

[Krill]

Moved NW. Found a corn, and it isn't being worked.

This is the email I sent:

Hello!

My warrior has spotted a sign, painted in teal, saying that he has found your lands, and I am pleased to start formal diplomatic relations with you in game

Unfortunately it is late at night here, so perhaps it is best if we communicate in more detail sometime tomorrow. If there is anything you wish to talk about this is where I can be found.

Lobo got a 6 point score increase last turn, which means he didn't go BW or religion first. He was making between 9 and 10 base commerce a turn, which is 10 or 11 beakers per turn. He could just have researched Agri, if I have that right, or researched a cheap tech and have invested some beakers into a second tech. But that means the only possible techs to have researched are:

• Fishing
  
• Wheel
  
• Agri
  
• Hunting

Wheel is a dumb tech to research first, I can't really see any reason, Fishing doesn't make sense as I think this is an all land map, Hunting is possible, but given that he has a corn SE of his capital I think Agri makes the most sense. And why go Agri if you aren't going worker first? Warrior rush time...

From Lobo. I won't be replying until the turn rolls, and I only have to wait for Kyan and Morgan to end turn before I can attack...

Welcome Krill, leader of the mighty egyptian nation,

i got reports from my border patrols about your warrior too. I am are ready to start the diplomatic chat as well. Let's hope that Egyptian and Moravian nation will live together in peace many many years and prosper.

Can someone help me figure out this double move rule please?

Poll 15: Dividing Wartime Turn Splits -
*Attacker's choice (attacker chooses when to declare, defender get opposite half of the turn)
*Defender's choice (attacker chooses when to declare, defender then gets to choose whether they want the first or second half of the turn)
*Some other proposal (please elaborate)

Poll 28: Double-move Rule -
(a) - All settler moves that result in ending a turn in neutral territory must occur 12 hours (in-game) after the last movement of that settler, if applicable.
(b) - REMOVED
© - REMOVED
(d) - When in doubt, act in good faith.
(e) - Upon declaring war, no unit may be moved until 12 hours (in-game) have passed from the unit's last movement AND the attacker has to have (secretly) followed the turn split rule the turn before the declaration of war if they wish to be able to move first during the war.
(f) - (a) is waived for the initial settler

My understanding is that I can still move last and request the first part of the turn as the rules are written. It's still a double move, but that issue was raised and people still chose this interpretation...

[plako]

What a double move rule again, if it can be interpreted like this. My view is that you choose your side of the timer when you attack, but I might be way off. Nevertheless double moving would be against (d) so I wouldn'r do it.

[Krill]

I agree with you there. The one I wrote earlier is much stronger than this...

[Krill]

I want that worker...

[Krill]

To Lobo:

Unfortunately I do not feel that Ankh-Morpork can accept such a powerful enemy near our city, so I'm hereby declaring war (on t11) and choosing to take the first part of the turn, according to rule 15. That means no unit movement until I have moved my attacking warrior, and I must wait 12 hours before I may move him. Your worker and city shall belong to me.

I would appreciate if you would allow me to attack asap though, to not delay the turn.

On a personal note, I'm sorry that this had to happen, I prefer it if newcomers don't get beaten up so fast, but sometimes it happens
