As Sensori wrote, he's just pulling a leg here. I just hoped that Newbies could enjoy their first MP game and have some fun and success even with "weak" MP tactics without being pummeled to death by turn 5-10. As long as that's the case, I don't mind. Should you start a savage bloodbath among them I might emulate LA R'lyeh's insanity and change some of your orders before I host a turn, maybe.
We're waiting for Mow's pretender, then I'll start the game.
