I think that would depend entirely on how his rehabilitation is going. In other words, I wouldn't be prepared to damn Mr Manson, Cohen or anyone else for life without reviewing the case from time to time.

Cohen does seem to be behaving better lately. In the one game I'm in with him, I know he's been in decline for some turns now, but still fighting (possibly even making a comeback).

The fact remains that Cohen has been known to do this, and he has not refrained from doing so for a long enough time to entirely shrug off the reputation. Personally, I take a somewhat more tongue-and-cheek view of the matter. Maybe we should organize a deadpool on which turn Cohen goes AI. Everyone contributes, say, 150 gold to the deadpool, winner takes all.

I'm not sure what the time is in Denmark, but I'm guessing that Esben has gone to bed. If so, we won't be starting before he gets up again, perhaps in eight hours or so.

Hey, uh, since we haven't started yet, could you do an anon-kick on me? I want to upload a new draft on my pretender, since I discovered that I forgot something important in the first one I whipped up.

Done.

Excellent. Reuploaded. Given that it feels like I'm about ready to rupture a blood vessel, I think I'm going to lay off the next caffeine hit. Don't start the game without me!

Effectively immediately, I am terminating my involvement in Dominions II for obvious reasons. I have anon'ed the slot. Kick me from the game and declare the slot open.

The game is stalled - unable to start due to some problem on the server. I'm currently waiting on word from Esben.

Also, we're down to 15 players following Norfleet's abrupt departure. Anyone who has never played Abysia or C'tis in a multiplayer game is welcome to join.

The game has started

The problem was permissions on the world.* files.

Good luck everybody!

It would have been nice to hold the game until everyone got the message - especially as people have been having trouble with the new forums. I didn't see this until today, and it's always frustrating to miss the first turn.
