I assume Zeldor here is operating on a basis of good faith, which is reasonable considering we're all mature adults here...

...I think.

Anyway, the reason of diplomacy and an arbiter is to beat the living pulp out of anyone abusing the system. I wouldn't want to play with mechanics based on thesis that my fellow players are underhanded cheaters, so lets not try to game the system too badly.

Bidding system has its good sides, but is work intensive. And looking at current situation at stock markets, has its bad sides too.

i think comparing stock exchange to a closed bidding system is a gross oversimplification.

Apparently MadFrancis and I will be teammates.

There is a bit of concern, looking at this map. Is there really enough room for 2 nations in any of those start areas? You did say the map was "modified", but unless you modified it to greatly increase the province count in those little pockets, I foresee a lot of early game "friendly fire" Dominion kills.....



(EDIT - I think the Faerun map would be awfully nifty.....)
