Re: Play The World
 

I should point out that I'll be away next weekend, and maybe the one after that too...though I can probably get someone to take care of things whilst I'm away. If anyone objects to this please say so now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

If you can find someone to cover for you, then it's not really my concern. Just make sure he doesn't run you into the ground. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Since I don't see anyone rushing to sign up, and Graeme is due to be back Real Soon Now(tm), we're starting: The first turn is untimed to give everyone a chance to gather.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

I'm dropping out actually, since I have no way of ensuring that you haven't modified the map file to your advantage, and I've just read in this thread that you've admitted to modifying the map file.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Aw, c'mon Graeme. For all his failings, it seems very unlikely to me that Norfleet would actually stoop to cheating.

We need your experience to help kick his butt !! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Play The World
 

Sometimes, I am glad that I do not care so much about losing. Just imagine, dropping from a game that I am supposed to enjoy, just because I suspect that someone modified the map so that he could win.

Of course, I am also glad that I do not care so much about winning. Because modifying the map to give myself an advantage would be rather scary, as well.

By the way, how would modifying the map make any difference, given that I downloaded the map from the official server?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The .map file on your computer does not matter at all, since the file on the server at game creation controls all map settings.

Re: Play The World
 

I doubt Norfleet modifies the map to win ... he's strong too on Mosehansen games, where he've no access to the map!

However this is only my opinion ... I simply don't have fun winning by cheating, and usually expect the other to think like me (oh ... tell me I'm still a child http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif ) ... well I know isn't always that way, but this gaming community seems serious.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I am not in your game but honestly I wouldn't be very surprised if Norfleet would do something along these lines. In our recent game "Ice and Fire" Norfleet's behavior was highly unethical, to put it mildly. He was also caught several times on straight lying and was forced to admit it. Frankly I was rather shocked since I didn't expect it from him.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Gad, that's a pretty serious allegation, Stormbinder. Can you be more specific about the "highly unethical" behaviour?

If Norfleet has been cheating, and that can be confirmed from more than one source, then I may feel obliged to drop out myself.
