oh, and i think a draw can (relatively easily) be turned into a cancel (after the fact) a cancel can NOT be (easily) turned into a draw.

@semck, it seems everyone from game 1 can be a little less callous towards your disregard for the rules, since Draugnar has had a blantant, intentional disregard for the rules, and he laughed about it. gameID=83072

Can this community *really* not get an honor variant going and supported? For shame.

This variant is unworkable in anything where you have 12 hour or more turns becausde no one would ever CD if they just checked in at the same time every day. So it is a joke. And I debated about my breakign the rules, primarily doing it to get the game cancelled *per the rules*. It had gotten rather vitriolic in the global chat and I want to see the game done away with or drawn, so I took measures to make certain *something* happens.

Draugnar, you are a disgusting individual. If you wanted out that badly, you could have a) resigned, or b) found a suitable replacement and posted in global the reasoning. Instead, you decided to ruin the game for everyone.

I will not continue arguing this in the forum, as I think it is counterproductive to the point of *my* thread, which is to /actually get a game of pacifist variant going/.

Now, back to my latest question. Can this community *really* not get an honor variant going and supported? For shame.

I would like to commend FK for how he acted with dealing with Game 1.

I think you'll find I will be much less forgiving in Game 3.

Like I said when I sent out the invites, I invited more than seven players. You could have asked them to step in for you. You are like the child that doesn't want to swim, so you took a dump in the pool, keeping everybody else from swimming too.

Hahahahaha. Wow. Well, thanks for the update, @dub. I can't say I'm surprised (not that it's Draug, but that somebody did it). Needless to say, I continue to strongly protest abge's above-expressed position.
dubmdell (556 D)
15 Mar 12 UTC
I thought about it, Draugnar and I do have one more thing to say about this matter in the forum.

"This variant is unworkable" BECAUSE ASSHATS KEEP BREAKING THE AGREED UPON RULES.

I never even saw the game I joined open up. Did it ever start?
dubmdell (556 D)
15 Mar 12 UTC
No, Mack, it never made. I would be willing to try a 6hr game four after this third game is resolved. I am guessing that you would not behave like semck, Jamie, nor Draugnar, and that you would, oh I dunno know, actually follow the rules? Because I'd be down for letting you into a potential game four if that were the circumstance, unlike some players that I know.

so think we should create game 4?
dubmdell (556 D)
15 Mar 12 UTC
Yes, but I would prefer to wait starting it until Monday. That will give us time to hash out the rules without explicit punishments and make sure that every party is in agreement. None of this "I decided to force the game to end" crap.
NikeFlash (140 D)
15 Mar 12 UTC
You all should. I wish you the best possibly outcome. I need to take a break from this variant in order to cool off. However, I'll be back (to this variant) in the future, with a new set of rules (that I will vet better first).
The failure of the agreed upon set of rules was that I was under the impression that everyone joining had thoroughly playing it through and had the fullest intentions of actually playing it, rather than deciding renege on their word and ruin the game for everyone else.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
15 Mar 12 UTC
On behalf of the mod team, can I ask that you *please* make a new thread to discuss Game 4 and take time to clearly define sustainable rules and make sure everyone fully understands the implications of such a variant.
Mack Eye (119 D)
15 Mar 12 UTC
I'm in, so I'll be looking for the thread to ensure that I'm ready. As ready as you *can* get for a lot of inaction, anyway.

New rules:
#1 We're all pacifists so no moving units allowed, all players are to save/finalize holds.
#2 Should someone move a unit out of his sc, he is warned and has to move back, should this movement take a territory not originally controlled by him, he is to be eliminated via coordination from the other 6 players (or mod intervention)
#3 6 hour phases, this is to ensure that people have to check in multiple times per day.
#4 It will be full press, so that we can cordinate properly in eliminating cheaters.
#5 Once you have left the game, don't rejoin after (you can rejoin games you cd if noone takes over). Again, a mod will hopefully enforce this.

Any others?

What is natural?
There have been some arguments and discussions in the forum about what is and what is not natural, particularly in the case of filial cannibalism instincts in human beings and animals. Can we find a consensus on what 'natural' constitutes or can we not escape the fact that 'natural' is in part a socially-constructed concept?

Is, for example, homosexuality any less natural than masturbation?

Freedom of speech on a private server
I realise this has probably been discussed before, probably a dozen times, but as it has been an issue brought up in a number of threads recently, I thought I'd create one where people could discuss and put their thoughts on the issue into a centered discussion. Are there limitations to freedom of speech on a private server? I certainly enjoy the extent to which we have freedom of speech on this private server. What does everyone else think?

How can only one player in a game get banned for being a multi. Surely to make it effective your multi accounts have to play in the same game. The aptly named 'Notacheater' was banned as a multi after taking place in one game but no-one else in that game was banned, how does that work?
