Noticed there's only F.DS games on at the moment, and both should be finished within a few days, so lets make a new one:
F.DS #86 online, 4 player global. I will win an F.DS game (eventually).

F.DS #87 is up. 4 Player global

As someone currently playing a league game I can testify this is not true.

So the highlight of the game we're about to finish was this, in my opinion:

2014-01-29 18:50:37 Kirian K End turn
Green scores:
8 food - consumption: 2 (now 35)

It was just a ridiculous amount of food to have. I ended the game with 19.

Also amusing a bit earlier was: Tables takes and plays Newton and causes Age III to start. I take and play Comenius. Next turn, Iconoclasm revealed, both of them die, each having given their bonuses once.

AHoppy · « **Reply #679 on:** February 01, 2014, 01:22:38 pm »

Pretty proud of playing Iconoclasm for that

(Not that I could have planned for that to happen, but still...)

Kirian's easily won this game though. That raid against me gave him too many resources.

AHoppy · « **Reply #681 on:** February 02, 2014, 05:52:43 pm »

I figured we needed another game. #88 up, 3 player global

I think I would have had it without that, in the end. Like I said over there, I need to figure out what I did right, because I'm not entirely certain how I won that.

That said, a 16 Resource raid is pretty ridiculous, though not the absolute best possible.

Well, just looking briefly at your board I'd say...

Your military strength is great. Let you attack anyone, when you needed or wanted. Not sure exactly when and for how long you had this strength (I don't remember you being notably ahead of me earlier on), so this might have just been something you leveraged late with Air Force
Your late culture production is pretty good. 6 buildings producing 3 culture each. Again, I don't know how long you had most of these - but I suspect your culture production was pretty good throughout age III.
You managed to get a ton of good culture builds on a low rock production. That's quite impressive.
Very powerful Wonder for the buildings you had, synergised very well to give big wads of points.
You had some good Impacts seeded, and were in a position to score well from many of them.

Of course, how you managed to reach those good positions is entirely a different matter, but... those are my first thoughts.

/in and started

Is there any way to get rid of inactive games? It's slightly annoying to see my inactive games when I log in every time, even though there's been no progress since September..

Thisisnotasmile · « **Reply #686 on:** February 06, 2014, 02:38:35 pm »

Doesn't a force-resign button pop up after a month or so?

Joseph2302 · « **Reply #687 on:** February 06, 2014, 03:29:07 pm »

Nope, I've got one from September too, that people gave up playing

After 15 days where nothing occurs on a game, you have the opportunity to either delete the game or force the player you're waiting for to quit.
These options are available in the PLAY menu.

I'm also pretty certain I've seen this option available to me in the past.

Twistedarcher · « **Reply #689 on:** February 06, 2014, 04:18:57 pm »

Ah, got it. Thanks!

Joseph2302 · « **Reply #690 on:** February 06, 2014, 07:04:25 pm »

Great thanks, I've officially won a game that hadn't moved since September now

Unofficially, I was winning it, but the 3 people playing just started another game instead.

Came here from the "unread posts" page without looking at the thread title. I thought this was about Goko at first. 15 days...

It's the ultimate slow-roll. The secret is to know when goko's time-out timer is lagging and you can keep your opponent waiting for another minute before playing your next copper.

It went down to a week some time ago.

But this is explicitly intended to be a PBEM game.

You could slow-roll to the point of taking a single action per week, I suppose, but I don't think there's that sort of culture as yet.

BGO appears to be down. Unless I manage to remember otherwise, I'll probably need a kick to take my turn(s) once it's back up.

Twistedarcher · « **Reply #697 on:** February 25, 2014, 12:21:45 am »

Still down for me

Joseph2302 · « **Reply #698 on:** February 25, 2014, 09:35:55 am »

Up for me now

I need to check things more carefully before declaring war. Sorry AHoppy
