thanks blitz

this game was actually a two player game they simply played to break the record
DeyTa: lets make this building eh?
2007-05-30 02:14:49 - DeyTa: If i have asia, oceania and europe, i get 38 armies from continent bonuses, and 17 armies from amount of countries. TOTAL = 55 per turn
2007-05-30 02:14:56 - DeyTa: If you have africa, North america and south america, you get 35 armies from continent bonuses, and 19 from amount of countries. TOTAL = 54 per turn
2007-05-30 02:18:02 - Vengeantia: whatever :p
2007-05-30 10:35:18 - Vengeantia: why don't you deploy 1 army on each country DeyTa? That will take even longer ^^ :p :p :p :p
im not sure listing such games is a great idea...its like rewarding negative behavior... it will beget negative behavior...
nothing against them... id love to attack with a 100000 armies too, but I dont think it gets registered as a record that way
theres obviously a gray area here...because its hard to tell when people are purposely building, or really just playing, but i see some black and white on this one......its right there in black and white

well i see what you are saying. It isn't a very useful record if it isn't competitive. But hey, is it really negative behaviour? Unless it is harming the servers in some way (which i doubt), its just a fun game. i know LOADS of buildinggames out there...i even have them bookmarked

i see your points, but this is hard to filter out, let me think upon this one and reflect.
there has been other games that went many rounds like 300 plus and could of ended earlier, but some have dragged it out to make them longer rounds, jr is in a game where the game could of been eneded maybe, but they all keep building, i DO NOT have a problem with this, some games over 300 rounds can be ended, but they are be dragged out and along, another example is the former record of 400 rounds, well that could of ended several rounds earlier, but wanted it to purposefully end on exactly 400, again i have no problem with this, so if you do it to one game, you must to all, not sure this would be fair either.
if all are putting in the time and effort and all are agreeing, i dont care, many also have dont this not with just rounds, but armies counts and build ups, if they spend the time and do it, well, why not count it?
it is a challenging decision to make but i think i have to led it slide even though deyta is prolonging this and it is obvious, i think he spend all the time and effort to do it, why not give him the credit?
again, others that have lasted over 300 rounds, there is several i have seen, have dragged out more rounds then then need to and are continuing to do it.
when records are being tracked and becoming popular, well many want their names post on the CC site of all time guiness records, or whatever you want to call it, and you really cant blame them, they also have announced this is game chat, which is legal, and they are not cheating.
so i am leaning toward giving them the benefit of the doubt and i may take some slack or crap for it, but i will have to live with it, i hear what aafitz is saying and has a great point, let me think more about it, but i hope my points on this make sense or clear things up as well.
cheers
