Non-full Games?
I have a group of friends, and occasionally we like to get a live game going. Sometimes, however, we are unable to gather enough people for a full game, even for the Ancient Mediterranean variant. Some sites allow for a rule change if there are less than seven players (6 players = no Italy; 4 players = 1 person plays as 1 power, the other three play as a pair; etc.). Is there any way to do that on this site, or are we stuck with trying to scrounge up players to fill the game?

How do you spot people who are playing 2 nations in an Anon Gunboat game?
I'm in a game where there are three nations left and two of them seem to be cooperating as well as avoiding any agressive moves, even when they would be good moves to make.

Site Rules Clarification Question - Peer Pressure to Cancel
In winter 1901, 6 out of 7 players vote cancel due to an early CD. Does it violate site rule #5 to tell the holdout that we'll gang up on him and eliminate him if he doesn't also vote cancel?
MKECharlie (2074 D(G))
30 Nov 11 UTC
For reference, site rule #5:
5. The Pause/Unpause feature is not a diplomatic tool
The pause is there to stop players missing their orders, but is not part of the game. As such pausing or unpausing should not be used for diplomatic gain, such as refusing to unpause unless other players will draw the game. If it is being abused staff may step in to sort it out.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
30 Nov 11 UTC
Rule 5 refers to pauses, not cancels.
Could it not be considered meta-gaming. The cancel is also not a diplomatic tool and his refusal to cancel therefore should not warrant others' decisions being changed.

Draw on the other hand....

Just playing devil's advocate.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
30 Nov 11 UTC
Whether or not it's metagaming is a bit iffy, which is specifically why I didn't mention it.

If any of the other mods wish to weigh in, they may, but I'm not convinced this is a serious problem.

I noticed you back in the forums about a week ago, maybe I just need to be more observant.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

Now, with that being said, this issue could be avoided by making votes anonymous, like they are irl. However, until that happens, I think voting metagaming is impossible to avoid.
Draugnar (0 DX)

I'm no mod, but it sounds perfectly reasonable to me to threaten to kill a player if he won't cancel/draw. After all, if you kill him, then the cancel happens and he still gets his points back, or the draw happens and he fucked himself out of the draw points.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

"After all, if you kill him, then the cancel happens and he still gets his points back,"

LOL That's a very good point.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))

No way is this metagaming imo. 5 players decided in game that it should be cancelled and are willing to ally to ensure that it will be. Nothing wrong with allying to pursue a common goal, whatever that goal may be.

now, if 6 people with my GR playing with MadMarx decided to force a draw alliance a priori for some free and easy ratings, that would be metagaming.
Draugnar (0 DX)
01 Dec 11 UTC
YEah, but in 01/02 a draw doesn't even affect GR and a cancel *never* affects GR.
Geofram (130 D(B))
01 Dec 11 UTC
I'm pretty sure I was in this game and that MKE was England.
I'd forgotten that 02 draws don't effect GR, otherwise I might have been up for the draw. But considering it wouldn't have gotten us more points and everyone had already voted cancel, the holdout was kind of lame.

This was not metagaming. (at least in my opinion) Especially since I don't think anyone else was aware the player had been threatened with elimination.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
01 Dec 11 UTC
forgot that Draug, yeah.
MKECharlie (2074 D(G))
01 Dec 11 UTC
I was England, yeah. Thanks for voting cancel, Geofram, and thanks to France for finally voting to cancel. I didn't actually threaten in-game; I just started this thread, and the peer pressure must have been enough for him.
Geofram (130 D(B))
01 Dec 11 UTC
I was Italy and would have loved to mop up with that CD Austria. But it wouldn't have been fun, especially since it's a group of friends. Let me know when the next game happens.
Skittles (1014 D)
01 Dec 11 UTC
My opinion means squat because I'm new, but it would be pretty hard to convince me that comments made within the game would be metagaming.

Can we get something done about this game?
I am not sure but it seem like it has been at least 6 months that this game has been paused. Egypt put in an un-pause shortly after the pause and has never checked back. Cath is winning and he put in an un-pause, I'm sure to hope to get the win. Either way, can we do something about this game. I am so tired of seeing it at the top of my home page. Cancel it, un-pause it, or draw it something Please. http://95.211.128.12/webdiplomacy/board.php?gameID=56608#gamePanel
