Can a Mod or someone in the know take a look at this game. My English unit has moved Hol to Bel and then Bel to Pic but Belgium is still Blue even though it was taken.

Does this mean i miss out on a build later on, or is it just the game one step behind???

An Apology to All I Have Troubled
Hey everyone it's me Zezima or Sniffy whichever you prefer... or don't prefer. The past couple days I have caused a lot of havoc here in the forums for my metagaming. I've come to say to all of you that I am sorry for what I have done. Right or Wrong it is not acceptable in this community and I will no longer metagame. I can only hope the community will accept my apology and maybe even forgive me for what I have done.

Sincerely,
Zezima

A Slight Rule Change
Please Read Inside.
Zezima (100 D)
31 May 09 UTC
A lot of havoc has been made on the forums recently about Metagamers and the desire to have them all banned. There are a few flaws though that can prevent the banning of said Metagamer and therefore should be fixed.

In the rules of this site it states that Metagaming is only frowned upon and is not illegal or a banning offense. This leads some people to think that it is okay for them to do it. Thus starting various threads about troubling Metagamers and whatnot.

However, if this part of the rule book was changed so that it would say Metagaming will get you banned, there would be less flamming wars on the forums. Doing this would provide no excuse for Metagamers in order to cover their action.

There is one more change that I would like to see on this site. Inside the FAQ it does not say Metagaming includes playing with friends to give youself an unfair advantage. I think it should be changed and include this taking away yet another excuse for Metagamers.

Now onto the consequences of Metagaming. I would just like to remind you all that these are my opinion of what I think would be best.
If you are a first time Metagamer than you should recieve a one week ban.
If you come back and do it again than you should revieve a permanent ban.

I don't know if any of this is possible or if it is an easy task to complete but I think the community would be a better place with this small rule change. Please post and tell me if you agree or disagree. If you disagree please tell me why and what you think should be done instead.

Sincerely,
Zezima

You used the word 'unfair'. What does that tell you>
chtalleyrand (345 D)

Zezima (100 D)

That it's unfair?
figlesquidge (2131 D)
31 May 09 UTC
Yes and that you already knew this.
As has been said before - there is nothing wrong with playing with friends. There is something wrong in making agreements for reasons other than the game, be this external friendship, money or (and i've heard suggestions of this) "favours"
groverloaf (1381 D)

Offering "favors" to someone for supporting you into Rome? That's the kind of dirty that doesn't wash clean.

Figles, do you think this could/should be implemented?
gjdip (977 D)
31 May 09 UTC
I've never created a game so I don't know if this is an option but if there was a text field or something to that effect that would allow you to notify players about possible metagaming then you could make an informed decision about whether to join or not.
Mr. Pinguin (344 D)
31 May 09 UTC
Zezima may be right, it might help to threaten a particular type of punishment for each and every crime.. but as Dingleberry says, it's already pretty clear that this type of play is unwelcome if new players read the FAQ (which I have to say, is wonderfully short and succinct).

From the last section of the FAQ:
"I play on the same computer as someone else, I dont want to get banned"

"...However if you know the other player well you may want to avoid playing in games with them, or you'll have an unfair advantage. You should at least let the other players in the game know that you know the other player in real life."
Zezima (100 D)
31 May 09 UTC
Mr. Pinguin, you are right, most people do know that Metagaming is more or less frowned upon but adding what I have said would just be icing to the cake.

Before I forget, I would also like to ask Kestas if he reads this to please post a reply to wether or not he has the power to or has ever thought of implementing this rule change.
figlesquidge (2131 D)
01 Jun 09 UTC
Kestas has the power to do anything he wants to the site.
There are updates coming (and i know its been some time before someone comments), and those will involve more options for the mods. If we can fine people then we'll be able to do something between ignoring/warning and banning, which i think will cut back metagaming.
iMurk789 (100 D)

so basically, your saying, 'please change the rules so that i dont get flamed for being a cheating dumbass'.
Zezima (100 D)
01 Jun 09 UTC
No, I'm saying the rules should be changed so that this will never happen again. If you have nothing positive to contribute to this then please don't say anything at all.
The four of you who are playing together in your game (you as Russia, Turkey, Germany and Italy) shouldn't be banned. You will just come back as other names. You should be placed into CD in your game. You should be free to come back in other games playing as individuals. Let this be a lesson learned.
Zezima (100 D)
