Map War 2 - G7

[Darvince]

i already took my turn and then untook it because i was going to give naru some zones but then you're like "if darvince can do that why can't i i'm gonna attack darvince and nobody else cause i'm a dumbass and wanna take the worst turn possible"

[blotz]

i can't even touch naru...

[Darvince]

lol bong you would've been better off if you didn't attack me

Blotz, you have already taken your turn, you said Darvince could spend 505 resources, I changed the topic title and wrote in the scoreboard it was Darvince's turn, so it's too late to change your turn and delete your post, sorry.

Darvince can spend 505 resources on the map below.

[Darvince]

Okay, done, I'm overspending a little bit but I don't think it matters too much.

[Darvince]

Kol I see what you edited there.

Edit: can I gift a zone to someone in this turn so they can use it in the next turn?

[Bla]

Too late now, you need to do it when you take your turn.

Round 23 has begun, the suspiciously orange Atomic7732 can spend 822 swirly resources on the below map!
(Removed military base on Darconquered territory he forgot to remove when conquering)

[atomic7732]

i hope you weren't planning on doing anything

[Darvince]

i give my land to atomic i won't let him have the fun of war

[atomic7732]

*adds darvince to list of people to never play a game with*

[blotz]

darvince it's not your turn

[Darvince]

i give my land to atomic

[Bla]

Atomic has to accept you giving him the land.

Tbh, I think it's a very boring tactic to just hand all your land over to someone who attacks you. That make the game boring. The exact point of the game is to have fun, if you are intentionally up to ruining the fun as your message suggests I think that's a bad way to play the game. Btw, revolutions were removed in case you were thinking of that.

Bong can spend 334 resources.

[blotz]

320 spent

[Bla]

Darvince can spend 436 resources.

Atomic please reply whether you accept Darvince's nation transfer.

[Darvince]

make my nation barbaria i don't want to play anymore and atomic will never accept that

[Bla]

Naru523 can spend 762 resources on this map.

Also it's not my job to turn your zone into Barbaria, but now it's done anyway.

[atomic7732]

make my nation barbaria i don't want to play anymore and atomic will never accept that

You're right, I won't be playing games with you

[Bla]

I think that to make games like these enjoyable, you should be prepared for the fact that you can get attacked by anyone anytime in the game, and not just leave if you think you're going to lose or because you get surprised or whatever.

I can understand that it may not seem fun if you think you're going to lose. Well in this game I don't think the winner is determined yet at all so I guess that's not really the case here.

In any case... Leaving the game because it "doesn't seem fun anymore" after getting attacked is somewhat cowardly in my opinion. It makes the gameplay more boring, so I think we should consider some solutions to the problem.

1: Allow someone who isn't currently in the game to take control of Barbarian zones.
2: Set penalties for leaving the game that will apply the next game you join. For example, not being allowed to join the first round in the next game, losing 20% of your production the first 5 rounds, or something like that. There could be different penalties for leaving, giving your nation to someone else or getting eliminated (with no penalty for getting eliminated for example).

Those are some of the ideas I could come up with atm. If all playing people would be ok with it, I would be fine with taking control of Barbaria.

[Darvince]

Yes Bla will win muahahahaha my plan is complete

[Bla]

If anyone else who doesn't play wants to take over and all playing people accept it I'll let the other person do it instead.

[Darvince]

Hrmph. I guess then I'll take back my nation for purposes...

Btw can't edit map right now I'm at school on my iplam...

[Darvince]

goodhi my dear enemies

good ideas

Ok, Naru can spend 762 resources.

[Naru523]

Operation Calizona is in operation (x2).

Round 24 has begun! Atomic7732 can spend 870 resources on the map below. (A level was removed from a level 3 military base that Atomic had upgraded by 2 levels).
Also, I got something very different from 745 resources spent by Naru.

I entered all the values in this google doc
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhyGV27WETcEdGtoQ0ZpU3hlRTUzZkdvbW5nRGc4RVE&usp=drive_web#gid=0
I recommend that everyone uses it in the future, just edit the calc on your tabs, because it
1: Makes it much faster to check your turns, so you have to wait less
2: Makes it less likely that I miscount something
I'm considering making it mandatory, but it depends on what you think.

Also another idea I'm considering is making it allowed to build multiple levels during your turn. The cost for extra levels would increase the exact same way as if you attack zones from a distance (your second level costs 3x, third 5x, etc.).
