when are you proposing to play the Live game?

Between 2-6 Jan I think

Yeah OK I'm out of action from Dec 31 to Jan 8 so count me out

Nah alg I'll see if I can find another date

I think sometime time after 8th Jan works for everyone

Happy to start pre-Dec 31 as long as we know before starting that I'll be asking for a PAUSE from Dec 31 to Jan 8

Happy for you guys to go ahead in a live game then, but I can't make a live game unless it was around 2-6 Jan.

I'm now free if we want to start the long game. Were we waiting on anyone else?

I don't think so. I'll set it up this morning!

I think the game should be called Beached As, and I would like to spectate pls.

Game is set up: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=230769
And 6 of us are in - just waiting for Garacus and then we are underway I think!

Hey guys just in the spirit of openness and honesty - Maxitaxi is my son, and we play from the same IP address/network most of the time.

We have agreed to play this straight but if it makes you uncomfortable or you 'd rather not just sub Maxi and or I out thanks.

PS he wants to beat me, but that aint gonna happen.

I think maxi replied saying he couldn't play this one?

Yeah I initially told him he couldn't, but if you guys know then at least given its non-anon you can spot anything you don't like.

But again - its 100% up to you guys - we're cool either way

I’m fine in principle - but when maxi dropped out I hit up JRoz as the other person who expressed interest in the thread. Doesn’t seem fair on JRoz or maxi to miss out - so now I don’t really know what to do...

I dropped out because I realised I would be playing with Wusti, my father. I'm happy to play if that is alright with everyone though...

Well if we have 8 - we just need 2 more to have a game of modern with 10 players!

My verdict as an impartial spectator is this:
Maxi dropped out. Therefore, JRoz was invited. You should host a Classic game with JRoz. However, all who join the Classic game must agree to also participate in the Modern game (with Maxi).

Of course you're under no obligation to follow my advice

I think you should keep Jroz in. If you organise a different Aussie/Kiwi game I'll be in that!

Yea I think keep in JRoz however I'm more than happy to have Wusti and MaxiTaxi in a match, it might even make things slightly more interesting. I don't see both of them living past 1903 if they're next to each other I'm keen to create another classic game at one point, I don't play variants very often bus I guess I could stretch to modern
