I've started a new thread for rules discussion here: http://realmsbeyond.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3968

I agree the ruleset is not working, although I don't have any genius ideas to solve it (I also agree with Swiss about moving that to a different thread).

My thoughts:

1) If Egypt wants to move first (Egypt/Carthage/Ottos/England/India) I'm OK with expanding the timer, and including a 1 hour reaction time (to change builds or techs or slace) or whatever Carthage wants.

2) If we want to lump the two alliances instead and shorten the turn I think India would be fine with that.

3) For this turn, yes, lets just do pause/unpause to let everyone finish in 2 hours. I can't play until this evening my time...we can charge India for a pause if you guys want. Alternately if we do Eg/C/O/En/I we can just start now, and I'll play and react-pause when I get back.

In regards to the current dilemma, Carthage agrees with extending the turn timer if we are going the five-way split route. The reaction time sounds good (if for whatever reason we are going to miss a reaction time we feel like we will need, Carthage may decide to use one of our pauses. Hopefully that won't happen though.)

In regards to 3, I don't think you guys need to be charged with a pause. Any objections to getting the order for this turn started?

Finally, I think if another team dec's on one of the 5 or one of the 5 dec's on another, an attempt should be made to fit that new team into one of the existing time slots (most likely with one of their alliance members), although if for whatever reason there are issues with the sequence of unit moving we can cross that bridge when we come to it.

We've had to spend 3 days arguing over how to split a massive war, because India and the Ottomans chose not to preemptively declare war on all of PAT.

I guess that's one way to put it .

I wouldn't blame India or Ottomans for this, just as I wouldn't accept much blame for it, nor should England. Carthage has got to be in the clear because they haven't issued a single war declaration Playing the blame game here is just us giving in to our own pettiness instead of trying to get the game back on track.

To confirm, I'm ok with the Egypt>Carthage>Ottomans>England>India turn order.

[darrelljs]

Well, as Cynehard said to avoid the possibility of what happened we'd have had to declare war on pretty much everyone in the game . I agree there is no point in playing the blame game, but for pete's sake can we just allow double moves in the next pitboss game?

We're OK with the current turn order of Egypt -> Carthage -> Otto -> England -> India.

Shall we get this game moving again?

[Cyneheard]

England's fine with that turn order.

EDIT: For the purposes of this turn (100AD), England has already moved all of its units. Reloading our moves is not necessary, and I do not believe it is in the interests of the Ottomans or India, as I mis-moved some units making them take longer to come to the front than necessary.

Ok, looks like Krill needs to play and then we will.

India, please pause it at the end of your playing for us to get a reaction time (or let it run down to say 30min if it is more than that and pause it). Thanks!

Will do. Can you post here once Carthage has moved and re-paused?

We have to wait for Krill first, correct?
