Country selection by player
In tournament style games I've read about you pick your country before the game starts based on a selection order. It would be nice to implement the feature on here for locked games.

How do you "leave" a game?
I've seen different games where it says "Left" on the player's line. I don't see where you can click that - there's a Pause / Cancel / Draw option, but no "Leave the game" option.

Can anyone tell me how this works?

Unpausing Games
Sorry, for the question (I'm new here), but how do you unpause games? We've all voted to pause, but when we try to vote to unpause it doesn't appear to register anyone's vote. Thanks for your help!

Cheating?
I know that it is a serious charge and of course I cannot prove it, but what recourse if any does one have if one suspects that two of one's opponents in a blind game are colluding?

Games where people have left
I think it would be a good idea for the password to be removed for when someone has left a game and will make it easier for someone to take over a game. Additionally since the new person is at a disadvantage not knowing the situation they take over a reduced fee for entry. It is very frustrating when people leave a game or NMR so making it more viable for players to take over will keep games going rather than the players next to that country taking advantage like vultures which ruins the game.

Emancipation of the ugly person
Women, colored people, handicapped people have all been emancipated over the ages. But in Holland, the person who's presenting the 8 o'clock news (a very good looking young woman (Sascha de Boer)) is about to be replaced by another very good looking young woman (Eva Jinek). Isn't it time for someone ugly?

I'd much prefer the latter so as to allow for people to not have to guess about whether their orders will arrive on time.

abge, how do you want to handle mail dates? I'd prefer if orders had a "postmarked by" rule rather than a "they must arrive by" date.

Orders will be entered on site. I suggest you search for the original thread and read this ome from.the top. Abge being a mod canpause the game so it will be 5 minute phases that je pauses as soon as they run and then unpauses when it is time to run the next phase.

@data

Please read the rules on the first page.

this is going to sound dumb but it would almost be more fun if we did a full postal. Can Abge enter orders as a mod (I assume we want to use the site for display purposes)
datapolitical (100 D)
17 Mar 13 UTC
I did. I misread this "All communication must be done via postcard or letter sent through the USPS to the addresses posted by players."
Draugnar (0 DX)
17 Mar 13 UTC
He is also a player so his seeing our orders would be a bit risky. He wouldn't conciously cheat ( I trust him) but he might subconciously.
datapolitical (100 D)
17 Mar 13 UTC
I know it sounds silly to think that given we're on the site but since we're talking about doing a postal game that was where my head was.
datapolitical (100 D)
17 Mar 13 UTC
If we filed our orders in envelopes he couldn't cheat.
Draugnar (0 DX)
17 Mar 13 UTC
Communication meaning between players. You still enter you orders here.
datapolitical (100 D)
17 Mar 13 UTC
unless he badly wanted to, and where's the fun in a postal if you can't trust the GM to play fair?
Draugnar (0 DX)

It is abge's call, but I am out if he is entering orders for me.

GM's aren't players in the games they GM. I used to run a judge and we weren't allowed to play on our own judges.
Celticfox (100 D(B))
17 Mar 13 UTC
I would rather he didn't as well. No offense Abge just would rather we all put in our own orders.
datapolitical (100 D)
17 Mar 13 UTC
that does solve the "my orders didn't arrive?!" problem.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
17 Mar 13 UTC
I have no idea what data is suggesting. The rules will be as they are.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
17 Mar 13 UTC
@data

The orders will be entered on the site. How would they not arrive?
Draugnar (0 DX)
17 Mar 13 UTC
And I realized abge that you can create the game because it will start at a specific time being 5 minute phases so you just need to be there at that time to pause it.
Draugnar (0 DX)
17 Mar 13 UTC
He was suggesting doing postal orders but CF and I said no way.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
17 Mar 13 UTC
Oh, I mean we could, although I don't see why we would. Seems like it would just be more work for me.
datapolitical (100 D)
17 Mar 13 UTC
I was in the mindset we were doing a "full postal." I'm fine either way. And I wasn't so much suggesting them as I understood it that way (and I thought we were using the site for display purposes only)
Draugnar (0 DX)
17 Mar 13 UTC
Orders are orders amd communication is press but I can see how that was confusing. No problem. Sorry if I seemed a little rude there.

Dragon's Dogma & Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch PS3 Games
If you are RPG gamers, you need to get these two games. If you need some games to play, you need to get these two games. They are excellent games. My Dragon's Dogma's pawn is Katarina (sorcerer). It would be awesome if there are people from webdip who can use her and upgrade her equipment. If you have an awesome pawn, post your name/id here and I will look into it.
