It is well known that lawyers cannot count. Of course, occasionally they can get lucky on a guess...

Ready for the restart!

We get paid for convincing people that 2+2=5, unless it is more in our clients' interests for it to equal 2 or maybe even 4.

And don't forget we are quite good at counting money.

I stand corrected!

By the way, it is a well-known engineering axiom that 2+2 does not always equal 4. It actually might be 5 for large values of 2, and can be 3 for small values of 2.
For example:
2.3 + 2.4 = 4.7, which can be approximated as:
2 + 2 = 5
A scientist would puke over this, though!

Also, excellent job on the fast restart, everybody. It was amazingly quick.

If I am not mistaken it's utterly axiomatic that 2+2 = 4 (as opposed to 5) and that 2.3 + 2.4 = 2.7 and can be rounded by convention. Did you, by an chance, build the original mirror for the Hubble telescope?

Uhm we need to restart again . Grim seems to have forgotten to set indies . All my neighboring provinces are free of military

Same here unless nobody minds no indeps we could continue to play. I just got one of my national heroes too.

ROFL!!!

Another big fat oops! The Indies are set to 0, not 9. I have done this before, it's easy to do. Just accidently go one past the 9, and viola! Free provinces everywhere!

When we restart yet again, I am requesting that commander renaming be allowed. I forgot to ask that and notice that it is still off in the current restart. Renaming is an easy thing to do to ease the pain of micro management later in the game.

*sigh*

I don't think I have ever played a game that is harder to get a game going than Dominions...
