09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [Libya]:I am such a noob and mistook the the South Coast of Arabia for Red Sea. As a punishment, I am leaving this game and will issue no more movement in this game. I will hold my units in place to protect my ally Near-East as my last act of honor.
09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [Brazil]:that's kind of bad. that'll change the game and make it unbalanced
09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [Libya]:I disagree. It changes the game yes, but not unbalanced. In fact it's rebalanced. In my opinion, Near-East you have their home SC in Iran instead of Arab-Saudi. I am going to make a suggestion to the host.
09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [China]:What!?!?
09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [China]:What!?!?
09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [China]:Lybia, learn how to play and stop making crazy suggestions.
09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [Libya]:You need to learn how to spell "Libya" first. So, why the Libya and Near-East are the only two countries with home SC-touching each other?
09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [China]:Ass!!
09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [Near-East]:I must admit that I have not been playing on this site for very long, and so do not know what the standard way for dealing with a player that wishes to surrender. When Libya had announced his intentions of surrendering his land to me, I suggested that holding his units was a more fair solution, although it still very much changes the game. Again, it would be greatly appreciated if somebody who has previously played in a game where a player surrendered gave their insight on how to proceed from here.
09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [China]:Pal, no problem with your approach. The issue is when some rokie has great "ideas" on hiw to improve the game. My suggestion: read the instructions. I invite everybody to cancel.
09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [Libya]:Yeah, Near-East is an honorable man.
09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [Libya]:Hey, that's even better, let's cancel the game. LoL.
09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [Libya]:There, I voted to cancel. I apologize all. Please all cancel this game.
09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [Near-East]:I am more than willing to cancel the game if that is what is usually done. My question is, what is the joinable games section used for? I had always assumed it was for someone to fill in for players that had left (like if Libya wanted to leave).
09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [Brazil]:why would we cancel..
09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [Libya]:I think they must not even allowed joinable games. In another game, I saw one big country attacking an unopposed, undefended country. Then suddenly he stopped attacking, a new player joined. the big country has 13 SCs and the small country has 4 SCs. I confronted the other big country, he could not explained.
09 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [Libya]:I think the big country bat-phone his friend to join in to help out.
10 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [Near-East]:I would love to hear other countries give their opinions on what we should do with this game. I am still perfectly willing to cancel if that's what's agreed upon, but I want to know if other countries would rather play out even with a surrendered player or quit now with the game still young.
10 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [South-Africa]:Usually when someone quits they don't make such a big deal out of it. Other people can take over for a country who's original player left the game.
10 Apr 13 UTC	Autumn, 2000: [Near-East]:Thanks for clarifying! I was browsing some of the finished world games, and it looks like there are a fair number of times where somebody doesn't make moves and the game continues. Sorry for making a big deal of it...
