Default Re: "A Song of Ice and Fire", veterans-only game, MA. Closed, uploading pretenders.

I do think, next time we do an all-vets game, that we should do wrap-around, or start in a circle around the edge, or something.

The all-veteran makeup of the game magnifies the unfairness of starting in the middle - in a mixed-and-matched game, veterans in the middle will have more neighbors, but more choices of "soft targets" to compensate (admittedly, newbies in the middle are completely screwed.)

In an all-vets game, starting in the middle has zero upside.
