Hmm. I'm not sure that the "Current Events" section should really be informing everyone of things that they would have no knowledge of without having scouts in the area.

Color me slightly disgruntled - I don't recall anything in proposed rules & setup that indicated this would happen. And if everyone is going to get accurate information on where / how my nation got its second fort, seems they also ought to get accurate information on the "explosive growth" of my forces - blasted militia, not blood summonses.

Seems to me that anyone ought to be able to annouce anything they want. Some of it might even be true (and no, it was not me who posted the current events).

And - its a wiki. If you don't like it, edit it. Make it go away, if you like.

That would be very bad style, and defeat the whole purpose of the thing: I could go in and remove all council votings, change all treaties and tweak the rules (a real dragon is always chief of council because of it's inherent superiority) - thereby starting a nice editing war. And the game will go down about that.

I can't see that many 'hard facts' there besides that what the game tells us anyway. To make something at least somewhat useful from it, I would have to know either A) where Abysias or Mictlans home is or B) where Machaka met Mictlan. Ok, there must be a river somewhere. Might give me a vague clue about the location. Only if I had some scouts in the general area I could pin down things more, but then I would see the castle anyway, btw.

So I (the player - don't anyone mention the council in this regard!!!) vote for keeping the news&rumors for roleplaying reasons.

PS: If you find out something about your neighbours/potential enemies, why don't you add a appropiate rumour yourself? Hey, you don't need to find something, just come up with something nice&plausible !

Which means that in the endgame, someone can post, "Peasants were startled to see the great Wyrm of Machaka in the province of Helm's Deep and cry out for a savior", thus making a target for Seeking Arrows & Ghost Riderings? Sure, the rumors might be bogus, just seeing if anyone would waste their gems, but still... I'm sure people will just love having their wyrm pick up a sucking chest wound, with not even the usual inkling of whom might have done it.

I can't say as I care much for the anonymous allegations and givings away of intelligence.

Helloooo... we are back, both me and my Wyrm. Not that we can do much but argue and make smack-talk... but here we are! Thanks to Alneyan for subbing for me. Not to sound flighty, but delaying hosting on Thursday until Sunday this week sounds good to me too...

How is this different from any other game?
