You know that's not what he said right? All it means is that you don't use the draw button as an asset on it's own. You can still try to get in to a draw as small as possible instead of a solo...

That said, I'd be interested. Lately, a lot of my games lately get screwed up because half the board all of the sudden decides that it wants to end the game because the game isn't fun enymore.

I'm not entirely certain though. We've got a little catching up to do when we've got a replacement in the leagues, as 2WL probably knows, and I don't like too much games at once.

In if want me.

Ill jump in if possible

steephie, ever been in a game where people were pushing for a 6 way draw? You are right, he did not say it means people will play to win, but it will eliminate people "playing for the draw" - not attacking, not pressing forward becaus they are attemoting to gt their draw. It means people will have to press forward until stalemate lines are reached. It certainly implies a more competitive game.

2WL - care to elaborate on your intent?

I'm just saying that the big difference is merely that you can't show you want to draw with the button. I agree with you on it helping towards a competitive game :)

No, you at slightly wrong. You can not draw until stalemate lines are achieved....which is essentially a "forced" draw. So you have to fight to achieve gain until no further gain can. Be found. The only question is does this mean allies will be forced to turn on one another after a time? If England and France have stalemated Russia.....but France and England can still stab and break the stalemate do they have to? That is the big question for #WL to answer.

What if there is a disagreement about whether the game has reached a stalemate?

Let's go.

Sure, I'm in.

krellin, the 'no drawing' rule implies that you can't vote draw until a stalemate has been reached. Allies aren't forced to turn on each other. A stalemate implies just that...a stalemate. If you don't want to be a party to a stalemate, don't work to create one, and don't vote for it once the stalemate has been reached. We actually had a similar situation to this (although not in a Lusthog game) in gameID=115271, where three of the four players voted for a draw and the mods forced it. Afterwards, partysane came out and said that he didn't want a draw, but since he had voted for it, he had no say in the forced outcome.

I'll set up the game and send out invites.

Czech, do you remember which game in the series this one would be? 7 or 8?

I'm not very good at keeping track of numbers. I'll try to look it up though.

6 according to your stats page.

I'm in 6 right now, so it must be 7 or 8. I'll send invites sometime tomorrow, maybe, if I feel like it.

You're game would be #7, 2WL. If there's interest in another game, I'm up for it.
