Waiting on patizcool and flc to join. Passwords have been sent.

@Yonni, I can start a community commentary thread, if you would like, after the first couple of phases.

@Lando and Tasnica, I was sort of hoping at least one of you would want to join...

I'm not sure what courtesy is regarding passworded game. With patizcool and flc, that makes seven, but they have logged on since sending the password to them. Do I wait on them out of courtesy or do I let Mack in?
Mack Eye (119 D)

I don't mind if they have 'first dibs' - if I get in, that's gravy.
dubmdell (556 D)

Well, I'll go ahead and send you the password and whoever gets in gets in. We can always start a second game with whoever doesn't make this game.

To those who have expressed interest, if you would be keen on a second game, I say we begin one:

dD_ShockTrooper (at 6hr phases?)
patizcool
flc64
Mack Eye

Question, as a pacifist, can you move around in your own territory or is even that forbidden?
Yonni (136 D(S))
08 Mar 12 UTC
It might be seen as military exercises.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))

@Yonni

Please refer to the official rulebook for the answer to your question. I've highlighted the relevant section:

""...the infamous Pacifist varient, in which speaking is allowed but <*****moving units is forbidden*****> and the winner is the last player to lose the will to live."-Octavious"
dubmdell (556 D)
08 Mar 12 UTC
With Fasces expressing interest, a second game has been started. gameID=82667

6hr phases (per Shock), 5 D, WTA, anon

Who's in? Hoping for:

dD_ShockTrooper
patizcool
flc64
Mack Eye
Fasces

But what would you do if somebody does make a move? Talk him into stopping movement and pretend nothing happened?
orathaic (1009 D(B))
08 Mar 12 UTC
Just top clarify, is it moving units of attempting to move units? i'm pretty sure a bounce in burgundy wouldn't involve any moved units, par example

@abge-macht

But is he breaking site rules?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
08 Mar 12 UTC
Yes, his award will come with a not-so-friendly email from FortKnox
Victorious (768 D)
08 Mar 12 UTC
well, to do so, you would have to make the pacifist variant an official one. So if it is, that means the site is open for new variants and people could start requesting some others to be implemented :)
dubmdell (556 D)
08 Mar 12 UTC
This is on par with the gunboat variant before it was implemented. It's honor system.

Also, Fasces has joined game two. Still five slots open.
Victorious (768 D)
08 Mar 12 UTC
yes, but an honor system does mean breaking it wont be cheating. And it is not an answer to the quiestion, what would you do if someone did move?
Victorious (768 D)
08 Mar 12 UTC
but a more important question, would'n it be nice to make all communication visible for bystanders to enjoy the game?
I'm sorry, I probably won't be able to play this game, I'm in my last year of school and messing with my sleep patterns isn't the best of ideas to get good grades. I did suggest the idea as a little bit of a joke to be honest, it's the sort of thing only a person who puts diplomacy before their real life could win.
dubmdell (556 D)
09 Mar 12 UTC
Victorious, it would be cheating as abge already pointed out. I agree that public press would have been the right way to create this game. Oh well, we know for the future. Much of game one is happening in global though. Go check it out!
orathaic (1009 D(B))
09 Mar 12 UTC
ok, so we're clear on the 'cheating' question. But what about the failed moves question?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
09 Mar 12 UTC
IMHO, failed moves count as moves.

You can't sh hold a unit that bounces, so it should count as movement, in that sense.

What is natural?
There have been some arguments and discussions in the forum about what is and what is not natural, particularly in the case of filial cannibalism instincts in human beings and animals. Can we find a consensus on what 'natural' constitutes or can we not escape the fact that 'natural' is in part a socially-constructed concept?

Is, for example, homosexuality any less natural than masturbation?

Freedom of speech on a private server
I realise this has probably been discussed before, probably a dozen times, but as it has been an issue brought up in a number of threads recently, I thought I'd create one where people could discuss and put their thoughts on the issue into a centered discussion. Are there limitations to freedom of speech on a private server? I certainly enjoy the extent to which we have freedom of speech on this private server. What does everyone else think?

I only have a 5 mile drive to work and plenty of sub 45 MPH backroads. So I've been thinking about a "scooter" type vehicle like a Vespa or a Honda PCX or Silverwing... Any suggestions on what I should look at? Oh, and up to 10K or 11K is permissible so low end cruiser motorcycles work if they have some storage for a laptop bag.

How can only one player in a game get banned for being a multi. Surely to make it effective your multi accounts have to play in the same game. The aptly named 'Notacheater' was banned as a multi after taking place in one game but no-one else in that game was banned, how does that work?
