Suggestions on RP-Heavy hosted game?

[quantum_mechani]

I consider CoW a bit of disaster, not just because it drug on forever but because of the emphasis on diplomacy rather than RPing. Diplomacy is already the driving force in most long term games, there is no need to focus on it. Besides, in my opinion it goes against the spirit of dominions- agreements with false gods should be a last resort and almost meaningless when their usefulness expires...

Also, I don't see any problems with players making good strategic choices... personally I like to role play smart characters.
