Game #153; New Player Primeval

[Lord Thanatos]

Yes the DW will soon have summon death.

I think someone just thought hey 4 corners and the middle, cool way to start a game.

The Ranger would have been a much better choice for this type of game.

I guess at this point I am just waiting for your first minimally positive comment.  Do you enjoy the game?

Love the game. Pointing out issues is how thing get better.

Elf Position got better
DW position got better
Exploratory was implemented
New changes to wall of flame
New changes to chaos
New changes to ESO and SVC
RA position got better
on and on, all from posts in this forum.

Each time something was brought up there was some one like you saying it fine, and didn't need changed. The reality was, it wasn't fine. The forum is to share thoughts and ideas, not just good and bad. It's how change takes place.

Also I really do like all the info you have given up in your posts, they are very helpful! So thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts on my thoughts, that's how progress works, and I really love your views and ideas on the game!

I will agree that the BL's 565 does provide him an advantage.  

However, it is the role of the WA player in this game to provide balance to the game board and make sure nobody gets crushed.

I will point out that all players in game 153 currently control 2 regions except for the GN and he is not fighting the BL.

I intend to do my best to make 153 a fun and balanced game for everyone.

I looks like the EL position has been dropped by the Broken.

If anyone has an interest in picking up the very viable EL Primeval position please volunteer quickly.

Otherwise it looks like game 153 will proceed as a 4 player Primeval.

It appears you have dropped from this game due to feedback you received in this Forum and that sincerely troubles me.  I assure you that every player who posts on these boards loves Alamaze and loves to talk about the game.  Many of us write responses in the moments between when we should be doing our real life work.  Thus, most of the posts are not very nuanced/tactful/gentle.  I wish to assure you that none of this should be taken personally. I would also point out that I, and others, very probably misconstrued your Forum comments as being harsher than you intended.  Sorry!

You are definitely correct that the Forum commentary is how things advance (or at least change) in game development.

I also assure you that many of the posters on the Forum know this game far, far better than I do.  All of them, in my experience, are willing to share their knowledge if you ask questions.

Do not deprive yourself of the immense enjoyment to be had playing Alamaze because I, and others, were too blunt in responding to your posts. Take solace in the fact that the subject matter of your posts obviously mattered to your fellow gamers, who took the time to respond to you.

Please come back to our gaming community!  We can never have enough thoughtful players who care enough about Alamaze to share their opinions on this game we all love so very much.

Managed to be the first player our mentor declared an enemy.  

Not unexpected with the Elves apparently dropping. An honor of sorts, I suppose. Go Gnomes!

More of a defensive move than anything else.

However, now that the EL is gone I will have to take an approach to keep you from expanding too rapidly and ending the game early.

Did Turn 16 run for this? the due date was 12/26, but I haven't seen a result. Just curious if others got a turn.

I think game 153 has ended because Primeval games generally go to 24 turns.

I have emailed support to confirm this.

I hope everyone found 153 to be a fun experience.

I was thinking 25 turns for some reason. Unfortunate that the elf cut out, so I had some rather rude lessons on advanced play from you
