PBW question

No tech trading usually entails no trading of ships with the intent to analyze them. But not always. This is why hosts need to pay more attention and explicitly define the rules for these sorts of situations before the game is even posted to PBW.

Agreed it is better stated up front, like in the Networks II game.

Other game settings:
No tech trading (You can trade ships and analyze them.)

Edit - Fyron, what happened to your Sig?

Alright, thanks guys. I guess I'll just ask the host and players and hope I can get my turn in on time.

truefully. The player should not analzye the ship.

As ship trading is allowed but not tech trading.

but that is the game host call.

I always figured that you could analyze in that situation. The ban was on tech trading, when what people are more likely trying to avoid is tech sharing. Trading ships adds enough of a delay to make tech sharing not happen.

O.K. I've gotten a little crazy with the Encyclopedia Malfadorica links. New people bear with me, I'll get over it soon.

But definitely bring it up in the PBW forum so everyone's on the same page

You can ban tech sharing but still allow tech trading... has to be done on the honor system, but it can work.

Banning tech trading is just that, banning the trading of technology.

There is a "Show Signature" option when posting that I usually disable, as it is a rather long sig, and who wants to see it on every single one of my Posts anyways?
