Re: Diplomacy
The complaint amoung the Dom1 gamers was that reputations went from game to game. Even before this thread, if a game started and the logins represented in this conversation were the players, I would already have had an idea to what level I could trust my borders to treatys that were made.
If a game were played totally anonymously then it would play very differently. Hmmm well actually, I guess it wouldnt for those who play cut-thoat anyway. But it would for the loyalists. Or maybe this falls back on those who play the game spread-sheet strategy vs those who play it with abit of RPG.
In any case, I know that I personally would appreciate some totally anonymous games where I could play as Murgatroid instead of Gandalf Parker. I WOULD use the chance to play very differently.
