I think the only way to make this fair is not to play an FFA. This is what diplo looks like in a no-diplo game, you're dealing with people and they will react to everything in their own peculiar ways. If you think what they are doing is unfair then you've probably missed something (see our trouble with Suttree for an epic example of Mackoti doing the diplo right and us doing it wrong) or you set up your borders badly, the map screwed you or you just aren't cut out for playing an FFA. For the last option a duel is the perfect solution. I've only seen one example (I may not have looked hard enough) of someone just giving up and letting someone roll over them and I thought that player got exactly the appropriate amount of shit for it, but since then a bunch of accusations have flown around when it's just not the case and the accusers should know better. Sorry, high horse dismounted.
Completed: RB Demogame - Gillette, PBEM46, Pitboss 13, Pitboss 18, Pitboss 30, Pitboss 31, Pitboss 38, Pitboss 42, Pitboss 46, Pitboss 52 (Pindicator's game), Pitboss 57
In progress: Rimworld
Is that the island city you got in a peace deal from Catwalk? Looks like he got the last laugh after all!

Dick took back the other island city, but I have a trireme defending the remaining one. 2M might do me a favor and take it.. He had two galleys in range to drop troops last turn. Fingers crossed that it's what he did.

  New meta: Whip the city so much that it's not worth the resources invested to capture it. I might outlive Sian and Nakor Tried to pay back BaII's gold, but he declined. I think he forgot that he helped me, and is too honorable to accept a freebie from a dying man :D Anyway, game over for me. I'm not happy at all about my play in this game. I was playing too many Civ games at once. I just phoned it in, from the very beginning to all the way to the end.
In retrospect what was the biggest contributing factor to not being one of the contenders to win this game?
And you've already outlived Sian. Slowcheetah (Donovan) and Nakor are the next you need to outlast, I think. Played: Pitboss 18 - Kublai Khan of Germany Somalia | Pitboss 11 - De Gaulle of Byzantium | Pitboss 8 - Churchill of Portugal | PB7 - Mao of Native America | PBEM29 Greens - Mao of Babylon (September 21st, 2014, 11:37)spacetyrantxenu Wrote: In retrospect what was the biggest contributing factor to not being one of the contenders to win this game? Not playing it You can't be a win contender if you just phone it in while others plan their brains out. I had too much on my table at once and this game happened to be the one to suffer the most from it. It's also hard to come back from that mentality because once you start falling behind everyone else, it's even harder to care about the game. You can see this happen in pretty much every game we play. I was playing in PB13, PB18, Civ5 PBEM and PBEM54 alongside this game, as well as regular forum mafia outside RB. That's a lot of daily stuff, way too much in fact. I wouldn't recommend more than two games at once  Anyway the parts I ended up having fun with were the wars, which also turned out to be the one area in which I played well, probably because I actually tried. I shouldn't have won against Yuris and I shouldn't have won against Catwalk, but I did, so I can be happy about that at least. Whoops, mixed up Sian and SC. See how much attention I've paid?
