Why isn't Heartland in Fall of American Empire brown?
Ok, I do realise that this might seem a bit OCD and this is even more useless than my last discussion about the inflation, AND, what would be worst, might have been already mentioned, but

WHY THE HELL ISN'T HEARTLAND BROOOOOOOWN?!

"Banned by a moderator: refer to jmo"
User "eddardstark" has recently been banned. ( userID=53127 ) The ban message in the account profile says "Banned by a moderator: refer to jmo"

I hereby refer to jmo. Jmo, what on earth does that mean?

MLB Draft
Since no ESPN anchor never said, "Let's go look at our latest MLB Mock Draft," let's watch the MLB Draft tonight. Yay.

And when Trey gets drafted by the Red Sox, I get to call him up and tell him he plays for my boys now.

(Minor) Issue with new map
I recently noticed that, on the new modern diplomacy variant map, the northwestern peninsula of France is called Brittany on the normal map, but on the large map it is called Brest. There's really no effect on the game, it's just something I noticed. I don't have units over that way so I don't know how the order windows show it.

How does banning multis work?
Whenever I see a player banned for multi I have a tendency to look over their games. And in pretty much every game they play they are the only player banned from that game. How can they be a multi if in every game they play they are the only banned player. Or am I to assume you let the individual keep 1 account on the site? This seems odd to me.

Why not cancel at the beginning?
In a game where England and Austria are missing from the beginning; Italy holds out and refuses to cancel, so everyone is stuck in a crappy game; the moment Italy starts to see it's lead falter 90 minutes later, it cancels. WTF?

1-2 minute phases
It would be fun I think... Besides, I can actually be sure I'm around until it finishes, I normally can't commit to something that may take 3 hours...

36 minutes, however...
I think it would be ideal for some people, we could actually play a tournament in an evening if it's well planned, imagine that :)

Mod Response Time?
General Question: What has been your typical response time from the Mods? Do they reply to all inquiries, even if they have decided to "pass" on an issue?

(Yeah...if your a mod...you have mail...it's growing old and moldy in terms of game time...)

First, I love the Holy Grail reference... now the fellatio...
Second, can Draug be considered a whiny pussy for flooding the thread with ranting?
I waited about four days for each of two replies related to a tournament request. Without a point of reference, though, I found that a reasonable time for a low priority request (not relating to an active game issue) requiring some internal discussion probably. In the past, cheating accusations have taken a few days (3 or 4 phases) to get a response, also reasonable, I think, since there is investigation, but in that case I would suggest in the future a note informing the emailer that the matter is under review (so we know the case has been picked up). Is that s8milar to others' experiences?
I try to send an email saying that we're looking into the matter. Now, whether I remember to email that the matter has been resolved....that's another thing.

Issue resolved in an extremely timely manner....once dumbass (me, in this case) sent the email to the *correct* email...pesky little details...

Thanks gold.

And - to reiterate an earlier comment - I think the mods around here do an outstanding job, and I have always found them to be incredibly fair, blah blah blah...even though that openly acknowledge my douche-baggery on the forums and whom may vehemently disagree with me on matter have always been fair.

So...there ya have it...

But...no....seriously, man. Marry a gamer. For real.

Just print some extra money instead of taxing?
Of course this is a crazy idea, I know, but why? That's what I'm trying to find out. It's less administration, it stimulates the economy in a way, since money quickly becomes worth less, so people spend or invest it as soon as they get it, meaning more money goes around instead of sitting on banks doing nothing...

Lies, deceptions, untruths
I once hear the rule: 'never get caught lying by any power with more than one SC'. This is something I use in-game, because I believe it gets better results. But I may be missing out, so please share your experiences.

When do you lie in-game? What is worth it for you? One SC? Two? Never?
And what do you expect from others? Is lying part of a good alliance? Or is an alliance over when it is no longer to be trusted?
