Minimum players in classic game
Hi all, my first time creating a game on my own. Is there a way to set the game to only 4 or 5 players for a private game? I didn't see any option and it shows "game will start when all 7 players have joined" now. Thanks for any help!!

I really want to review all the messages I sent to someone, but the history logs appear limited. Are they just gone, or is there any way to see the full message logs with a player from a game?

Question concerning game rules (pms)
Hi there! I need a public and official reply by a MODERATOR.
If you play a match without anonymous players, but even without private chat (only team chat): Is it allowed to write the other players private messages in order to negotiate? In my opinion everbody see the names of the other players and everybody can write to the other players, so it is a fair system. It is a very important part of this game to negotiate, you know.
How are the official rules?

Should Capitol Police protection be extended to all members of Congress?
At the Scalise incident this morning, the Capitol police were present only because Scalise was there. Without them, the shooter would have had a clear field until Alexandria police arrived. Shouldn't the Capitol Police protect EVERY large gathering of Congressmen?

Cancelling a game
I've never cancelled a game before, but i'm wondering, if you cancel a game, will you get your starting coins back? Say you bid 10, will you get 10 back when you cancel? Also, what about if you take over a civil disorder?

I just finished up the second to last Known World game, http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=187834, on 36 hour phases, which we probably played a few years further than we might have for that honor.

A lame ending? A reason for Pitt to try to change his expression? Something to make Spacey look like a maniac instead of a flat tire? His worst crime was that he spawned a whole generation of asshole actors, headed by every wimp's wet dream, Edward Norton.

Edward Norton was good in Fight Club and was less wimpy in American Hostory X, and I really like Spacey in House of Cards.

I get the feeling Zmaj just leaves the movie theatre pissed all the time.

Though Se7en kind of sucks. And Gladiator isn't very good either.

@TrPrado

The only film where I felt Norton had something to show was "The People vs Larry Flynt". But that's because Forman is a genius when it comes to directing actors. I mean, Courtney Love has a major role and she's good.

Incredible Hulk is a pretty strong example of him not being a great actor.
And then there's Birdman
Zmaj (215 D(B))
17 May 17 UTC
Birdman is a wonderful example of pretentious crap that poses as art and pretends to ask deep questions but is actually based on cheap gimmicks.

Genuine masterpieces often do the opposite. For example, "Runaway Train" pretends to be an action flick but actually asks deep questions.
it pretends to ask deep questions?
Zmaj (215 D(B))
17 May 17 UTC
Birdman? Yeah. But it's all half-hidden so that "intellectuals" can think they've discovered something.

"(Ep 5 is my least favourite original Star Wars film, and Skyfall is probably the best Bond movie)"

You are fake news. It's easily the best, followed by New Hope. Return of the Jedi comes last. Empire has the better writing and acting than New Hope. Return of the Jedi used to be my favorite until I grew up.
