Banned user

I am in a game (Man the Torpedoes!) with a bunch of friends/acquaintances and one of the users was just banned for metagaming. He is not metagaming (at least not in this game for sure) so how can we restore his access so that we can continue the game?

So I jist watched the first Hunger Games

For a movie based on a teen book, it was much better than expected. Outstanding concept. Very good execution. Even the required teen "love triangle" seems more like a potential misunderstanding and political ploy than the Team what's or whoever bullshit of the Twilight series.

How many German speakers do we have here?

I took a few years of German in high school and college, but it's piss poor. I'm thinking about setting up a German-only game where I can enjoy a little Diplomacy while immersing myself in the language for a few minutes a day.

@Al Swear... Putin hated it, but I liked the point of your 'overwrought' (overwritten?).
Perhaps its tangential, but I reckon Diplomacy is a great sharpener of the mind. I specifically use it as mental exercise in getting better at managing people. The extension of that to this thread is that out in the real world there are almost no rules other than 'don't get caught' While I do not subscribe to those rules, many of my colleagues/co-workers/contractors/suppliers do.... making Diplomacy excellent mental exercise. For me at least.

"Just because people here play by such values doesn't mean everyone else has to. "

No you don't have to. You can create a game and set it as one of the houserules. You won't be playing the same Diplomacy as others but that's what you want after all. Setting houserules is perfectly OK and people do it all the time in all sorts of games. But the default Diplomacy is supposed to be competitive so that's how people who play to win play it. It's the classic play to win (play to win in the most universally accepted variant of the game) vs play for fun (play to win in a variant I personally feel is better) argument. As always Sirlin.net is highly relevant.
