Dutch society is slowly getting split in two.
Essentially, we have a group of networking, pro-European and highly educated ruling class of about 30% of the population and a group of family-and-friends based, anti-European and professionally educated 70% ruled class.

Interest in a (mostly) serious RP classic game?
I say mostly serious in the sense that the real winner would be the one who played their role best.

a bit too many busy colors here ... ?
Hello, Just my humble opinion, but I find that there are maybe too many colors at use here for the text on this game website. I find that it kind of gives me a bit of a headache looking at it all and it adds to complexity instead of making things easier!

The Pro-Muslim Thread
Just wanted to make sure that if any Muslim guys stop by the forum, we wanted you to know that the anti-Muslim crowd doesn't speak for everyone. Plenty of us are accustomed to living in peace side by side with the Muslims. Hit me up in a game if you want.

The Worst President in American History Is...
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ivan-eland/is-barack-obama-the-worst_b_6061208.html James Buchanan. That'd be my pick. Those on the Left can shout Dubya Bush, and those on the Right can scream Obama...and claim both have divided the nation...Buchanan had the effing Civil War happen on his watch! When the country *literally* breaks apart and begins its most deadly war during your term, I think that's grounds for calling you the worst. Nominations for the worst?

Metagaming Tournament/Series?
Had this crazy idea for a series or tournament ...
VirtualBob (242 D)
28 Oct 14 UTC
I am thinking of a scoring system that encourages metagaming. All tournament or series games are paired with the same participants in each member of the pair (GameA and GameB for purposes of discussion). Scoring is as follows ... illustrated for GameA, but the same for GameB in reverse:

13 D for a solo
12/n points for an n-way draw
10 D if the country you are playing in GameA is the first eliminated in GameB (or 10/m if there are m countries eliminated in the same year)
6/n points if the country you are playing in GameA is involved in an n-way draw in GameB

And yes, you might get the same country in both games leading to some interesting potential strategy decisions.

Anyone interested?

Someone recommended something like this and it just didn't happen.
VirtualBob (242 D)
28 Oct 14 UTC
It would have to be gunboat (I think) ... I am imagining complete anonymity ... such that you never know whether the current french player is secretly trying to eliminate Austria first ... or whether England's refusal to eliminate France is based on hoping France survives in the draw for metagaming purposes.

Yeah, I proposed this last year I think, and we started, but a couple of players CDed or NMRed or something and it just died. It's a good idea though. I had fun talking with my partners.
VirtualBob (242 D)
28 Oct 14 UTC
@zultar ... I did not see that series, but it obviously was full press. Do you think press is better than gunboat for this? Or maybe we can find 7 players to try 4 games, one set GB and one FP??

tvrocks (388 D)
29 Oct 14 UTC
I tried making one around a month ago. I think it would be better if it was full press as you're supposed to metagame. For example, you could get someone to help you in one game in exchange for your help in another.
VirtualBob (242 D)
29 Oct 14 UTC
bump for any more interest before the thread dies out.
"Someone recommended something like this and it just didn't happen."

Doesn't that apply to... everything?

Nice idea! I'd be interested if GB.
VirtualBob (242 D)
29 Oct 14 UTC
I like the GB version ... keeps both games fully anonymous. Here is the list so far:
1. VB
2. Yaleunc
3. TMOW
4. Zultar (even though GB?)
5. Hellenic??
6.
7.
I like it, but feel there should be some kind of safeguard against playing the same country. It feels a bit too much like the luck of the draw now.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
29 Oct 14 UTC
I don't play Gunboats, and I have too many games right now to start another anyway. The series I played was just 4 non-anon games where you were allowed to metagame at will. IE "support me into Tunis in Game 1 and I'll support you into Sweden in Game 3". I won!

@Hellenic ... that is why I prefer GB ... it is not "full metagaming" ... just an added nuance of uncertainty.

VirtualBob (242 D)

@TMOW ... having the same country might be interesting ... tank for +10 in one and try for the solo in the other? 23 D should be a winner. :-)
seth24c (5659 D)
29 Oct 14 UTC
I don't have time to join this right now even though it looks really cool. Something you might consider though is giving a few less points for having the country that gets eliminated first in one game. 10 D is a lot for something that will be (somewhat random). It shouldn't be worth almost as much as soloing in my opinion. Just wanted to throw my two cents in, take it or leave it. Good luck y'all!

I would prefer FP but I think I'm in.
VirtualBob (242 D)
29 Oct 14 UTC
@seth ... there is certainly a randomness about who gets eliminated first, but having some other countries survival/death be high on the list of strategic priorities is one of the things that interests me. I do see the point, though, and maybe 8 (or even 6) would be a better number. I do think it should be more than a draw.

1. VB
2. Yaleunc
3. TMOW
4. Code Bomb
5. Steephie
6. Zultar (even though GB?)
7.
seth24c (5659 D)

Absolutely VB, I understand what you are going for. Just wanted to throw in another opinion in case it could help at all, thanks for considering the point I was trying to get across!

If we get this going soon, I'll say now that I'll need a pause for about a week from next Friday. A shame for momentum, so I'll also yield my place for somebody with more free time.
VirtualBob (242 D)

Still waiting ...

1. VB
2. Yaleunc
3. Code Bomb
4. Steephie
5. mendax
6. TMOW (open to replacement before 11/8 due to pause requirement
7. Zultar (even though GB?)

Need to hear from the Big Z or at least one other player ...
Ok, that's a relief. If you're waiting for Zultar to play, then at least I know it won't get started anytime soon.

A stunning Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) report on Prime Minister Medvedev’s [photo top left] agenda at the World Economic Forum (WEF) this week states that Russia will warn President Obama that the“time has come” for the world to know the truth about aliens, and if the United States won’t participate in the announcement, the Kremlin will do so on its own…..

Hi everyone,
As of late, I have been studying the Myers' Briggs' personality type indicator, and find it very interesting. So I've decided to poll certain groups of people. If you don't know your type, take the test here. http://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test

I'm an INFP, and I suspect most of you here are some type of rational(analyst), or NT. Let me know what it is!
