5. Serious players only, no game quiters. If you have some RL emmergency that would make it impossible for you to continue playing your nation, you promise to do your best to find a human sub for you, as well as give all other players as much advance warning as possible. But no quiting because you are losing or because you had a bad start. Everybody agree to play to the end, no matter bitter or sweet one.

I don't want to do this one for two reasons. Firstly, I think it's a bit late to be adding more house rules at this point. Secondly, and more importantly, I don't actually think it's a good rule.

If a player is losing and has lost interest in the game, there's no point in forcing them to submit turns. They're not having fun. They're probably submitting minimal orders, possibly even just standing still waiting to be eliminated. The AI would probably do a better job.

Also maybe we could play a bit smaller map? If it's not too late and if you, as well as all other registered players would like it of course. It could be the bad luck, but only one of the world-map games that I've played so far was finished (kindof ), the rest were abondoned for the varaity of different reasons. And when we did fininsh it took VERY long time.

I'll decide the map when I see how many registrations there are. I hope everyone is remembering to lodge passwords with the registrar.

In any case, no matter if you will like these proposed additions/changes or not, I will be happy to play in your game.

Very pleased to have you.
