Do you really even need to play the pacifist variant within a game at all?

I mean, if there are no moves, you don't really need a board set up. You could just play within a forum thread.

Since it's just 7 (or any other number of) people talking until only one hasn't quit, isn't this just another "last person to post wins" type of game?

I assume no pauses would be granted for this variant...
orathaic (1009 D(B))
09 Mar 12 UTC
pauses, that's an interesting idea... we have much to negotiate :)
dubmdell (556 D)

@yebellz,

@Yonni, Pauses would be granted only in extenuating circumstances, I would think. Perhaps we should just consult Octavious for any rules questions, though ;)
patizcool (100 D)

I have joined the second game
Yonni (136 D(S))
09 Mar 12 UTC
Yes, all questions should be taken to the great oracle - Octavius.
Octavious (2701 D)
09 Mar 12 UTC
Anyone asking the great oracle a damned thing will be fast tracked to the great oracle's list of people to be banned when he achieves modhood.

You're all stark raving mad! Mad, I tell you! Mad!!!

I expect royalties ;)

There happens to be a different type of pacifist variant. One that allows moves, but grants additional builds for not changing the possession of SCs with another player.

I think that is better called a "cold war" variant due to the armament programs.
dubmdell (556 D)

Need three for the second game. I presume Fasces, patizcool, and Mack have joined, but I only have confirmation on Fasces. What with the weekly TC bump right on schedule, I think my tiny bump for something valid is morally acceptable. ;)
dubmdell (556 D)
11 Mar 12 UTC
Things are really heating up in the first game, for anyone who is interested in taking a look.

Still need three for game two. Low buy in! Fun experience! Great friends!
Spring 1901, and someone is already breaking the rules...

So the first game is a complete fail. I will be starting a third game once the second game gets underway and can see who is true to their word. The ones who get invited will have to agree on the pacifist rules!
dubmdell (556 D)
12 Mar 12 UTC
I think pat, Mack, and Fasces all understand the rules, and they're currently in the second game. If a third game is started, Nike, can we keep the password the same? I am a little surprised game one broke turn one though.
ulytau (541 D)

I would be interested in joining game 2 or 3. And I promise I will, under all circumstances, issue only holds (support moves?).
NikeFlash (140 D)
12 Mar 12 UTC
Support holds I think are acceptable, but frowned upon.
ulytau (541 D)
12 Mar 12 UTC
I don't want to be frowned upon by the international community. No supports from me. Ever.
ghug (5068 D(B))

I'll play in a game three if one starts.
dubmdell (556 D)

Well, Nike, sounds like you have a game three nearly filled.

That's pathetic what happened in the first game of your pacifist variant. (gameID=82542)

If I had a blacklist, Semck would most definitely be on it. Ridiculously dishonourable.

Like I said, after the start of game two, I would like to see who really sticks to their word...

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?
