MP Game For whom the bell tolls ---- Started

Yes, Yellowcactus is back. He just took one of my provinces. I don't think he reads this thread though.

someone who is so far out of compliance w/ the rules of the game needs to be set to AI - but only after his pretender and troops and resources are suicided.

By the way, are we on 2.1.4 now? I noticed that mosehansen was set to 2.1.4 now, so I upgraded my game to that too. I saw in another post that the game has to be restarted though for this to take effect.

Cainehill, it's not my fault if someone doesn't read the dedicated thread.

Cohen - no one is _required_ to be a forum reader to join games on Mosehansen. So, yes it bloody well is your fault when you keep making mutant games and do NOTHING to ensure players go by your rules.

In your drain-3 mandatory game, I've had someone with Last of the Tuatha - ie, a magic scale. In your human / immobile games, we get people with pretenders that are neither.

You ought to keep your mutant rules to your own private games, where you can get confirmation that the players know of the rules and intend to abide by them. If you can't get Illwinter to put in game options that enforce different rules, you shouldn't create public games that get hosed when people don't abide by them.

And at _least_ you ought to be doing as I said - putting out a message to all players on turn 1, asking them to confirm that they've gone by the rules of the game.

*growl* And of course, Cohen was too lazy to send the guy a message when told about it. Way to go, 'hen.

On the bright side - the Lord of Fertility is now -1 in each magic path, and I intend to render the issue moot by destroying Machaka before it's recalled.

I was thinking to restart the game, if you want Cainehill.

I regularly see you complaining about Cohen's "mutant games". Yet you're always playing in them.

Agreed; being a game host comes with responsibilities. It's the hosts job to sort out problems like this.

Mutant isn't necessarily a derogatory term. A few of my favorite games have been mutants. And given that I once called a SO 'Godzilla', obviously I have a thing for mutants. (Note : there are much more successful, endearing, pet names of affection than 'Godzilla'.)

Anyways - it's not the mutant games I object to - it's Cohen's way of going about them. (Not just the way he once had 6 mutant games going at once on mosehansen.)

Yep. But instead, Cohen allowed the game to continue two more turns without doing a thing to remedy things.

Always wanted to see the inside of a Pangaean capitol!
