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

You still haven't answered why you didn't send him a message regarding the pretender, and telling him he had to keep the pretender in his home province, like you said.

The words 'lazy' and 'irresponsible' come to mind.

But no - don't restart the game. I'm killing Machaka, and then I'm coming for Abysia.

[Cohen]

You're coming on late.
Tien Chi is already doing the job.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Always wanted to see the inside of a Pangaean capitol!

Do you like it? Come on in and I'll show you around. We've been planting lots of shrubbery, you know.

[Lingchih]

Enjoy the castle YC. I'll probably go AI in a turn or two since I have no stronghold and am just wandering about now, trying to stay alive. Well done.

[YellowCactus]

Blah!
I'm enjoying a power-surge. Hopefully will be back on-line soon. If not, Would you (Lingchih) like to take over Mictlan? Is that possible without access to my hard-drive? You could re-plant some shrubs, and even bring some to Mictlan. Red flowers are the vouge there.

I am in temporary charge of Mictlan until Yellow Cactus is able to do his turns again. Barring the unexpected, I should be able to play one turn every day without problem (is it 24 hours or 48 hours turns?).
