Hey, I said *chance*! Obviously we lucked out into a really good team.

As to the password thing, I wasn't saying it was ideal, but I don't think it qualifies as cheesy to play your partner nation for 2-3 turns while you hunt for a sub. I think that's a lot different than just running a double nation for the length of the game, maybe you disagree.

I also wouldn't hesitate to ask for a replacement partner if I had doubts about them at the beginning due to a lack of communication and a lack of getting their pass. (Obviously if I trusted my partner it wouldn't be a big deal if they didn't want to share, but if they were uncommunicative, unknown, and unwilling to give out their PW I'd feel ok counting that as a full 3 strikes)

And to clarify, I think a premade team game would be awesome, I just think there's a place for random pairings as well.

Any chance of a pause over Christmas? For some reason my dad thought it was a good idea to unplug our home computer(with dominion on it), and it doesn't look like it'll be up until after Christmas(staled the last turn because of that).

If nobody else wants to pause, Baalz can always take over for a few days.

FYI, I tried to take a turn for Shovah and got a CD key violation message. Not sure what the difference is between what I did this time and what I did before, but just a heads up in case anybody else needs to find a sub for their partner.

I kept telling people that this would happen as well, but everyone told me I was crazy... so finally I stopped arguing this... hehe.

Default Crushing with extreme prejudice

Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't, it's very strange. One source of confusion - I don't think it ever happens with PBEM.

Definitely safest to avoid doing it, in any case.

Can anyone else connect?
