Haha - It feels a little easier to play a game that doesn't encourage heightened emotions and personal attacks. (I get too in to mafia games, even though they're really fun to watch ^^)

Hehehe you'd be surprised how attached and salty people get in this game... even the digital version.

My RL friend had a decade long falling out with his brother because of this game and refused to play in our work game because of it...

Well... just wait until the stabbing begins. You will quickly lose faith in your fellow players and humanity as whole ^^

unless its a bad player who makes a dumb stab its fine, thats usually the price you have to pay for allying with a weaker player, you can get the upper hand just by moves alone but then have to deal with poor judgement

Haha even if it does shock me with its harshness and staby-ness and all that, I think the fact that it's effectively a PM-only game makes things less dramatic. Individual criticism/disappointment is very different from posts in a thread berating somebody.

maybe my tune will change when i personally feel horribly betrayed lol

I'm sure that russia didn't play the game and germany decided halfway through that dying is better than playing the game had something to do with it.

The Russia no-show definitely sucked, but of all the countries, Italy benefited the least from it. A well-deserved win all in all. Poor Austria though... so trusting, but that big juicy pink backside was too much to not stab. :-D He didn't benefit from German wonkiness (he did however benefit from German misplays :-( ). It expedited an already determined win because France and Germany couldn't work together, but the vivisection of the south was all his own.

So TL-1 is finally decided with an unpleasing 5 man draw, essentially everyone who wasn't eliminated early in the game. Italy nearly snatched the win after some shrewd play and a nearly perfect stab on Russia who a few turns before looked like he might have won. I had fun.

A crucial replacement for Russia needed in TL 4. An actual player for Russia could be the difference between Italy soloing or the game ending in a draw.

Is there a new game starting soon? I have never played this in my life but it looks like fun.

It looks like TL4 might be going the way of the dodo...

Sooo, with that in mind, TL - 5 (take 2) has just been put up. I'll do a baby write-up for the seasons with pics (even if I'm again eliminated unceremoniously)

Game name: TL - 5
Game ID: 78239
PW: flash

The current orders/retreat time constraints are 24h for orders and 12h for the easy stuff in between. If anyone feels strongly that the time should be expanded, I'm open to that option.

I think we should be wrapping up TL-4, if I receive the consent of all surviving players. As I said in my thread on TL-4 and Substitutions:

As for TL-4 itself, I am offering a draw to whoever is left in the game to accept it, although I consider the game a disqualification rather than a draw.


As for the new game, I recommend that the rule I proposed in that thread be adopted:

no substitutions without the consent of all remaining active players.


As for the timing, I think that the last game in TL-4, we could have had fewer desertions if the rounds were a bit faster and more dynamic. Furthermore, in TL-4, I got this message from Turkey (with apologies for leaking):

i'll just not finalize actions to spite getting stabbed.


I'm not sure if forcing people to wait as an annoyance tactic can be considered a legitimate diplomacy strategy, but opportunity for its use should certainly be minimised.

24-hour moves seem reasonable to me, but I see no reason why retreats need to be more than 12 hours. Also, much of the stagnation from last game came from the "no moving on weekends" rule, which I recommend be removed here.

The weekend rule is not enabled in this game. It doesn't really apply to the TL audience so much.... It's great for my RL friends game as their weekends are consumed with kid duties and random crap.

Also, I enabled the first turn protection for TL5 in case someone joins the game and then forgets about the commitment or decides they don't want to play without leaving (ala Russia in TL3).
