26 Mar 13 UTC | Spring, 480 BC.: (taylor4): This Variant game board appears somewhat tightly confined - the Boxes do not connect like Youngstown off-boards; & any comments on same are best saved for the EOG or directed to the Mods. |
27 Mar 13 UTC | Spring, 480 BC.: What are you talking about? It's clear how the boxes work. If you knew geography the left is Italy, connected to the west coast of Greece and the right is Turkey, connected to the east coast of Greece. |
27 Mar 13 UTC | Spring, 480 BC.: U cannot get from Boxes AB to CD except thru the visible board |
28 Mar 13 UTC | Autumn, 480 BC.: The other problem with this Variant of the game is solely the opening position for Attica, as opposed to the other players' beginning Locations. Historically more likely, but there's no Crete or the Aegean islands - the neutrals and the allies of historic ancient Athens. @Anon. That's not Turkey in Asia Minor. That's historically Persia if anything. There are also a few mis-spellings & as for "Epictetus" as a Locale - haha. |
28 Mar 13 UTC | Autumn, 480 BC.: I wasn't saying that the nation is called Turkey, but that's the modern name for that region - Turkey IS Asia Minor :P |
29 Mar 13 UTC | Autumn, 480 BC.: Tell that to the Kurds, the Kurdish fighters whom Alexander the Great could not conquer |
29 Mar 13 UTC | Autumn, 480 BC.: The point Your head |
29 Mar 13 UTC | Autumn, 480 BC.: Arcolia? Cannot send message, country has muted you? |
29 Mar 13 UTC | Autumn, 480 BC.: LOL. That's harsh. |
29 Mar 13 UTC | Autumn, 480 BC.: Plague Thebes |
29 Mar 13 UTC | Autumn, 480 BC.: Probably from a previous game. |
30 Mar 13 UTC | Spring, 479 BC.: My bad. "Thebae" is the name on this board, not Thebes (but still in Boeotia), home of Laertes, Oedipus, the Sphynx, all that good stuff. But, does he Love his mother? |
31 Mar 13 UTC | Autumn, 479 BC.: The Sphinx had a riddle. But first, why did Napoleon's soldiery shoot off the Egyptian sphinx's nose? |
31 Mar 13 UTC | Autumn, 479 BC.: GameMaster: Arcolia voted for a Extend. If 2/3 of the active players vote Extend the the current phase will be extend by 4 days. Please consider backing this. If the majority is not reached by "Autumn, 478 BC." the votes will be cleared. |
31 Mar 13 UTC | Autumn, 479 BC.: Extension vote time! |
31 Mar 13 UTC | Autumn, 479 BC.: GameMaster: Per 2/3 majority vote the gamephase got extended by 4 days. (Voters: Arcolia / Elia / Aetolia / Boeotia / Laconia) |
31 Mar 13 UTC | Autumn, 479 BC.: Attica and Messenia, you've got some 'splainin' t'do :) |
31 Mar 13 UTC | Autumn, 479 BC.: Apologies, I hadn't checked my games between when the vote started and when it went through. Why'd you need an extend, Arcolia? |
31 Mar 13 UTC | Autumn, 479 BC.: Yeah, your orders *are* in... |
01 Apr 13 UTC | Autumn, 479 BC.: Okay, Messenia, you're the last one. |
