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?

The Last Known World Game
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. This leaves one 10-day phase game in a still relatively early state, http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=187877

BTiLC is overrated.
Zmaj (215 D(B))
02 May 17 UTC
@TrPrado, it's definitely overrated. But it has stylistic unity and doesn't take itself seriously. Edgar Wright, on the other hand, has no style to speak of (it's painful to watch his plodding pace) and very aggressively nudges the viewer to laugh at his contrived jokes. Any Carpenter's film beats him easily.

Scott Pilgrim has fun writing, fun editing, fun cinematography. It's just overall a fun film and outclasses Big Trouble in Little China by leagues and deserves the victory.

Scott Pilgrim is the only one of the two that comes close to Hy Grail, but Monty Python are going to secure the next Grouo B part of the bracket either way. Sigh.

Edgar Wright has only ever made like three good movies, I don't see how we can really be praising him that much. The Cornetto Trilogy is great, but otherwise... meh.
I mean, I dispute that claim on face. He has quite a bit more than 3 good movies...
Zmaj (215 D(B))

@TrPrado & Vashta
Being eccentric to hide the lack of cinematic ability is not style. I'll concede it's a valid strategy, which obviously works on feeble minds, but it's not style.
Hey TrPrado, if you have so much time to argue movies, could you go ahead and ready up your 1v1 matchups? The rest of the bracket is, on average, two rounds ahead of you
explain how he lacks ability, did you even see the videos...
Chaqa (3971 D(B))

@Vashta
Your notion of ability is clearly associated with AfterEffects. You're either 15 and can be excused or adult and can't be changed. Either way, no use explaining.

Yes, but editing can mask poor cinematography, which is what I think zmaj was going for
VashtaNeurotic (2394 D)

Editing can't save everything...besides most of the visual comedy video is literally how he designs his shots and has a lot to deal with the writing....to say that Edgar Wright is only considered good because of editing is like saying Tarantino is only good because of his dialogue. It's a highlight not the entirety.
