In some ways it is a prisoner's dilema to have a talisman next to you. You do need to kill them, problem is is that it will weaken you considerably in the trying. While that will help everyone else in the game you may end up being worse off overall.

P.S I think we are still vaguely on thread but feel free to move this off - maybe to my 'cursed talisman' thread

Yes, we don't need to debate it to death. As to it being a bit OT, since there was a suggestion to exclude it, it is a bit on topic.

Yes, the player who fights to prevent the Religious player from becoming "Talisman'd" will weaken himself. But if he can make good peace with his neighbors while he works on the war (and why shouldn't they agree?), remember, he will gain the property of that war as well while others may not be able to expand due to keeping peace with all their neighbors. And, if those neighbors ARE to expand, then they will be in a war as well

.

So, to make a final remark as to the suggestion...I don't care one way or the other if Religious is allowed.

Alneyan, can't you send an international check (cheque)?

If there is no other way, then disquise an envelope with the appropriate amount (paying careful attention to wrap the bills in paper so they can't be seen) and send it to me (I'll provide an address if you want to take this approach) and I'll just write a check to Tesco for both our entries. I promise you can trust me (as I must trust you to have sent it and not claim "it must have gotten lost in the mail").

This way, you may enter, Tesco will place us side-by-side and you can take the Religious trait (

).

Thank you Slynky. I will let you know if I need to use this kind of mean. On the other hand, I should really crank down on my games once of these days, and somehow signing in for new games doesn't seem to be the most effective way of doing so. *Smirks*

Obviously, I wouldn't take anything looking like a Religious Trait. I guess I would do better without painting a big, flashing target on myself by taking this trait after all.

Last night I finally got to enter the game... But, I may have gotten a logon error with PayPal. (paypal or PBW) It was pretty strange. Please let me know if it went through.

What about those who live outside the US and want to join the tournemament? How can they pay?
