I also disagree with this 10 turn no rush rule. 10 turns might not sound like a lot, but in a game like this that doesn't offer much room for expansion, 10 turns can be enough to get you stuck if you can't attack anybody but indies. also all of the "powerhouse nations" have been banned from this game, barring Sauromatia. so it's not like there is some crazy dual blessed jags/niefel giants/palashankas/etc to fear... moreover, such a rule is almost non existent in most other games out there, if you want this to be a learning experience you need to make it as close as other games, not impose tons of special rules that are very game specific...

These are the rules he wants, it is his game and I have had conversations about them, some supportive some corrective.

You signed up for THIS game, so I guess the rules will apply to this game, If you feel you can't or don't want to play by them as you will not receive anything beneficial out of it, then I suggest politely that you withdraw and look for a more experienced game that will suite your needs.

The rules are there and the vote looks like it is in favor of a 10 turn no war start. I am just his spokesman, and as I said, I can take care of myself so I could really care less if I am rushed, I am more concerned with the other new guys in here to give them a chance.

This isn't directed at you specifically, it is just answering your post.

Look guys, this is a little different game, check the threads as EVERYONE is trying to make a game that is not the same old thing. Ysk is doing his best to accommodate everyone while making a fun game, give him a chance before judging this as it could turn out to be really fun. This isn't RTW or SP, and as you play this you will have to adapt because it is somewhat different.

I think this will make it easier to play the next 'normal'game. So, for those that want to continue, we start Friday, for those having second thoughts, we have an alternate list waiting to see if a spot opens up.

Just let me know if you have changed your mind. Thanks and I think you will get a kick out of this game if you give it a try.
