Marklen X Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 The last time I played an accelerated game, we played an open ended game, meaning it did not have an arbitrary end turn, and we played it to a finish. In order to do that, it requires a unanamous vote of all players. It can be real frustrating to be in the middle of a huge fight and suddenly the game just stops. What say all of you gung ho boys!

DezertCamel Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 I'm all for it, but.... Wouldn't Russ and company have to say we could...... Please If they need a vote okay by me, the more death and destruction.... I mean reconstruction and violence relief, the aid to end countless suffering.. for At least those on my side.....

Marklen X Posted November 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Russ has no problem with it, it is up to the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTGRuss Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Russ has no problem with it, it is up to the players. Correct - no problem on my end but considering that it was not announced as an open-ended game before startup, it would require a unanimous vote by all the nations of Game 71 to convert it to an open-ended game.

Rasputin Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Did someone mention extended bloodshed....I mean Doctor Training?? :lol: Count me in!! We could do like some other PBM's I've been in and have a specific agenda for Victory. Such as a single player or alliance reaching 1,000,000 Arm/Air/Naval points destroyed. I'm sure we could all come to some sort of agreement and play on from there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DezertCamel Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 I do agree, the more bloodshed the better, but I think instead of the most points, kills, etc... The winner is the last country controlling all 40 captials. points are one thing total control is another...... DezertCamel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasputin Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 I'll drink to that! Just didn't know if anyone else would agree to the Ultimate Challenge!!! It's the way I used to play years ago. To win one must control every Capital City! I like the way you think Desert! You seem to have clean Camels!!

nfbeerse Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 An openended game? Sounds good. Till the last alliance stands then. Norbert (Norway71) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowKitsune Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Sounds good to me. I'll vote for it! (What about the by paper mail folks? Or aren't there any?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beltira Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Shouldn't that be the first country controlling all capitals? I like the idea. But, should America and Canada count... I mean, its like after I take all of Europe, THEN I have to mount this huge long protracted sea assualt on America and Canada... Also, with this, do the number of orders keep going up after every 25 turns(beyond turn 76)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklen X Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Ok, so Russ, how about a vote now? Sounds like all are for it. I know from past experience, some of them will change their minds soon, hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beltira Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 After giving this some thought...I think the controlling all capitals idea has an issue with it, in that it turns the game into just going after capitals. So, I am thinking more than just the capitals to win. We could make it really hard, have to control every province and city of 30 countries(or more) to win.

DezertCamel Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 I guess you have played RISK too much...... I guess that means north america and the Russia's get bouns points since they are impossible to defend... It does not matter what the goal is, as long as you control it all..... Capitals, cities, provinces.... Now to quote a old but good movie, "There can only be one" Open -ended means till everybody loses but one group or one player.... I mean if we wanted to play a group game we could have started one, like somebody tried a few years back... Or even more fun, everybody gets the same tech.....British.... this way everybody would fight on an even plain.... But that is a future to be determined at a different time..... And May IRELAND be the ONE..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
