New MP Game - Random, Anonymous, No Diplomacy

[Goblin]

Being a Newbie and not understanding the potential ramification of the high-powered sites you mention can I just say that: An imbalanced game may be better than none.

With 17/16/15/... players it may be better to accept sum imperfections of set ups and the like and adopt the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid - me being the stupid one which needs things kept simple).

If people think that certain sites are ultra powerful then just list them for everyone to see. That way anyone holding them is likely to have to devote excessive resources to holding them from jealous neighbours - hence balancing things again.

Also I thought Almeyan’s suggestion for victory conditions was brilliantly simple (had KISS written all over it).

Regards,
Goblin.
