I dislike this argument on principle. This is like saying McDonalds should not sell coffee because people could burn themselves from pouring it into their laps.

I won't. I could even imagine fun games with 10-minutes quick-hostings.

Just don't participate in games with settings you ain't confortable with. I've realized that I'm not going less than 48 hours myself. Sometimes I'm away > 24hours.

Well, the dumbest game settings I've seen was a game that had been abandoned and left running on 5 minute quickhost.

It was on turn several-thousand and nobody had played the thing since turn one.

Okay - let me be more specific, since I actually agree with you and Ebsen. (Albeit 10 minute turns probably wouldn't need a dedicated long term host like mosehansen

)

"If the server wouldn't allow Cohen to create games less than 24 hours", since he does it by default for no good reason. Better?

Say, Regen, with all the discussion on the thread about MANDATORY DRAIN 3 and all, how is it that you've got Last of the Tuatha for a theme???

@#$*#*#

Way to go Cohen! Another game that's screwed up because of your nutty rules.

Hmmm. Just curious, if you dislike Cohen's games so much, why in the world you are playing in them?

Because he hogs the slots on mosehansen? I can _play_ some of his silly rule games, and avoid the others, but trust me - if he was hosting his own games, I'd never join a one.

And the problem is, that in addition to his always picking similar oddball rules, he makes it so complicated that people don't follow the rules.

Mandatory drain 3, for instance - with at least 1 nation that has a positive Magic scale, everyone else is @#$# handicapped research wise.

Anyways, Storm - I see you're continuing your obsession with Norfleet and me, eh?
