WW2 Variant (new thread) Preview ***
Here is the very very first version of my WW2 map to look at. I already posted a thread about this but basically the I just need some advice on the map. Is there anything that strikes you as obviously geographically or historically inaccurate at this stage? Before I go adding supply centres and things.

Israel needs no human rights review.
Unlike Syria and North Korea, which did in fact open up to criticism.

Let Me Ask the Question, Gun Owners and Advocates--Why?
Not wealthy should you be allowed to own guns--you should, the 2nd Amendment gives you that right--but why this is treated so often as the line in the sand...why, in short, do you seem value guns so highly as to seem to approach the point of fanatical worship (at least that's how it appears to some of us on the outside.) There is one answer I'm not buying (and I'll give it below) but aside from that...I have to know--why do value your guns seemingly first and foremost?

Diplomacy causes violence
It has just been reported that several recent stabbings in ******** were inspired by an online game called 'Diplomacy', which encourages players to 'stab' others as a major part of gameplay.
The perpetrators have denied any knowledge of the game, but mentioned the name 'Timur'. He has been tracked down to the Far East and is currently being hunted. (As usual. Never been caught yet :~)

So this catholic hospital due to malpractice saw twin boys get killed. The Father tried to sue and lost on the grounds that the fetuses were not considered life. Apparently the catholic church is pro-life only when it suits them.

I'm fine with calling B leagues as draws; but i'd like to see all four A* games completed.

I'd hope to take a short four week break for everyone else and then start the Spring season in the new year.

I don't think that was the problem… at least two players flat out left the site and some people bailed or didn't join games in time. You did all you could, orathaic.

^Here, here! Orathaic did an excellent job!

So are we going to keep the 14 player A* and A? Hint: I'd rather go back to a 7 player A*, 2x 7 player As, and 3x 7 Player Bs even if it means I get demoted from A*.
orathaic (1009 D(B))

@Draug, That is worth discussing, good of you to bring it up.

I didn't play, but i would be inclined to leave it alone for a season and reflect afterwards.
Draugnar (0 DX)
24 Dec 12 UTC
Well, this seems as good a thread as any for the discussion...

What I didn't like about it is exactly what some will have. The leagues are about position and are a giant game, but when your game 3 stabber isn't in your game 4, it becomes harder to turn the tide against them in game 4 as nobody will listen to an outsider. There is no chance for revenge. Yes it is metagaming, but the type allowed in the leagues: playing for position.
LanGaidin (1509 D)

If everyone hasn't joined by 01/02, then I'll send individual PM's... however, if you've noticed you're the last one that joined and want to start post-holiday, just post here and wait til the 2nd. Thanks and look forward to one last game:)

Draugnar (0 DX)
24 Dec 12 UTC
The whole point of the password is to keep the game private. Now anyone with 5 D who happens to read this thread (i.e. any registered player potentially), could join the game! <*Picard, with head in hand*>
Skittles (1014 D)
24 Dec 12 UTC
I agree with Draug. I like the component of playing all 7costs with thesameresult people in every game, becaue it makes you form your master strategy for the season taking it all into effect. Do I royally screw someone over in one game when it might pput me in a disadvantage in future games? That sort of thing.
orathaic (1009 D(B))
24 Dec 12 UTC
@Draug, et. al, just remember the reason for the cuange was specifically targetted at the A* leagues. Because there was no advantage in coming first, people wouldn't play game 4 so seriously if they knew they had already enogh points to stay out of relegation.

The only alternative would be to relegate all but one player - maybe that would work with a big enough A leagues (so two promoted from 3 sets of 7, and 1 remaining in A* for coming first)
LanGaidin (1509 D)
24 Dec 12 UTC
lol... I would say not stupid at all.... just too busy to send individual ones. Do we really expect anyone that is not in that game to arbitrarily just join? Since it's not anonymous, is there anyway whatsoever that they can get away with it? If they refused to leave the game, is there no way we couldn't just create another one... I could go on, but I must leave work now:)

Merry Christmas Draug.
LanGaidin (1509 D)
24 Dec 12 UTC
Essentially, I knew exactly what I was doing by posting it on this thread - and no, I don't think anyone not actually in the game will join unless they're just trying to be funny.

Just busting your chops, LG. In the words of the Red Baron (ala Snoopy's Christmas) "Merry Christmas mein friend!"

So long as a mod will cancel it if someone who doesn't belong in it joins...
