It's actually part of my pbw section. I suppose I could have cut and paste the code and stuck it here too, but I didn't want to make it a big long post that might be declared annoying.

how dare you put something on your website

Well, since we are all asking questions... Why does Fyron care what Kwok puts on his website?

tesco samoa · #44 August 1st, 2003, 07:46 PM

i don't think he cares... i think he was only asking a question.....

Anyways, why don't we keep this thread on topic? I'm more of a RP kind of player so you'll probably notice that most of my responses tend to lean that way.

More importantly, was doing so Gamey?

4. Surrendering to allies to merge empires together.
5. Surrendering to an ally or other 3rd party to keep what is left of your empire from going to the enemy.
6. Surrendering your empire when you just want to leave the game.
10. Gifting a planet for the primary purpose of keeping another player alive.
19. Email diplomacy between players when races haven't met in the game yet.
22. Allied victory or Last Man Standing victory conditions must be chosen and declared, or there will usually be some friction towards the end of the game.
26. Pre-arranged alliances in non-explicitly team games.

These are I think the only things I think are gamey in the big list. If there is one thing that kind of bugs me it is the refusal to accept that you've been beaten and then to surrender in a way to ruin the game for others. #19 and 26 are just really really unsportsmanklke

Number 26 can ruin any game, not just SE4. I've seen it happen in boardgames more than once.

People who join the game with a prior agreement to play together are bad enough, but it's worse when they join with a prior agreement to play against a specific player.

(I just can't express what I think of this practice in words).
