Anybody up for a game of stock SE4 at PBW?

[Possum]

SJ, I totally hear what you mean. Forcing the connections gives too damn many connections. But if I do as you suggest, I'd be cheating! Think about it. *I* would know what the map looked like, and nobody else would.

capnq, I'm actually open to ideas from anybody who wants to play

*I* haven't played a game at PBW since that abortive tournament, ohh, about 3 years ago?

And you have my sympathies as far as the box. I'm too (expletive) broke to pay attention right now, and no way can I afford a new 'puter.

Anyhoo, let's see if we can round up a couple more players, eh?

Oh, and do you favor allowing surrender or disfavor it?

You know, the last time I asked here about "How are the games at PBW?", I was told that it had degenerated into a contest of diplomacy, with everybody trying to backstab everybody else.

I have to say I find that somewhat unsavory. While I have sure backstabbed AI allies in a single-player game, I have never betrayed an ally in a multi-player game of SE, or even any game like it.
