Re: MP Game - Anyone interested in a *really* slow game? *full and running**
I'm not suggesting it be changed at this late date, but...
why do people like score graphs on?
Seems like it takes a lot out of the game, since pile-on is automatic, rather than learned, and then persuaded.

Well, probably most importantly - graphs can't be turned off with games on mosehansen; Illwinter hasn't given command line arguments to turn them off, iirc.
You're right though - in most games, if one nations gets too huge (twice or more as many provinces as the next largest), everyone seems to dogpile them, rapidly reducing them to the bottom of the pack.
Then again - how much of that is the graph, and how much is that the person over-expanded and never consolidated her gains?

Everything looking peachy. Esben, would you start the game? Thread title already (prophetically) changed accordingly.

I have allowed client's (that's all of us  ) to start the game. Any of you can start it now; and I will when I get home sometime.. in less than 2 hours.
This should be very interesting  Good luck, everyone!
