Sit request

Hello all:

As of tomorrow I'll be away for two weeks with little to no Internet access, and need someone to sit my account. I have 30 games underway.

Let me know if you can do it - and thanks in advance!

Re: The next big update... [Feedback Desired]

Allow players to make some notes about games that appear on the player`s list of games (i.e. the list that lets you Ènter Games`) - this would help players with many active games to keep each game separate and to remember things like alliances, etc. Easier than the `note to self`which requires you ...

Re: The Easter dice suck, man

They're hard to read, is my only complaint. But any variation where you try to be different, use colour and so on, is going to have that effect. And I'd rather have a bit of fun anyway, so bring it on.

Re: Secret Dip [noted]

Evil Semp -

I apologize for reaming you like that. But I'm major pissed because I've been handed a secret diplomacy warning for saying less than what these players said.

I don't want them to get a warning. I want the warning I got to be cleared.

Re: Secret Dip [noted]

Oh, it's okay because they're just 'joking.' Sure. You'd know. Must have been the "lol" that tipped you off, right? Good detective work there.

No secret diplomacy warning here! But when I do even less than this, I'm held up as a cheater.

Pure BS.

(And how can you say that secret diplomacy is ...

Re: tobinov [Cleared/Warned]

But my move through Europe was already discussed in the open on game chat. So how is that secret? The answer: IT ISN'T!

I said we were getting close to secret diplomacy, not that we were actually doing it.

Re: tobinov [Cleared/Warned]

Round and round we go... sigh. The example is from hotpot, not from me, king sam. So how am I at fault??

That goes for you too, the.killing.44. Those messages aren't from me, and I never responded to them! Please explain how that makes me guilty of secret diplomacy.

Hang on. It seems we're now being accused of something different. As king sam says:

we ask all chat/contact about a game to be done in the game chat area, and its quite obvious you guys weren't doing this

Huh? I thought we were being accused of secret diplomacy??? For the record, the rule goes ...

Re: The Escalating Story

Nice story. Reminds me of my dad's experiences just after the war, sailing a ship from San Fran, through the canal and up into the Great Lakes. He said in the Caribbean these enormous bees or wasps would come bombing out from the islands and smack into the ship with a sound like bullets hitting. And ...

Any reason I was skipped? I put my name in yesterday when there were lots of spaces left. Today I see the list is full, the guys who posted immediately before and after I did are in, and I'm not.

I'd like to join. I've never been in a tournament before, so if you can think of a really stupid question someone might ask about being in a tournament, please assume that I would like to ask it.

Re: The Foundry Newsletter: 22nd Issue

Very interesting (and yes - well written) editorial! It occurs to me that "non-survival-necessary thought" might, to paraphrase Marx, be described as "surplus consciousness." The kind of consciousness you can have only when the culture you're a part of has eliminated the concern for basic physical ...

Re: Cold dice?

On a maybe somewhat kinda slightly related topic, does the game 'weight' dice throws according to some kind of 'morale' factor or based on relative size of attacking force? I ask because in one of my games I've been launching desperate attacks to try to slow down one player (who's going to win ...
