semck, there has been countless times we have told people that if you want something setup a certain way, make it private, put it on the forum, and when people ask for the pass and play the game, they are agreeing to follow your rules. That's how we mod. If you'd like me to formally put in a rule that states that, I'll be happy to do so.

I think some clarification on that in the stated rules might be beneficial. Even if the mods didn't feel like it changed or helped their positon - it would certain give people more impetus to set up and create mini-games/variants like this and point to something in the rulebook that supports them against counterproductive actions of people who can't keep an honest agreement.

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing... I'll talk with kestas and abge about it and get something in there.

I've offered to take over for anyone who wants to leave in that game so it can just play on. I'd even take England and, with Italy and Germany, we could set up a blockade so even if France built, he wouldn't be going anywhere, thereby forcing thi sgame to return to the pacifist pussy game it is.

I may be a pacifist (in these games), but that does not make me a pussy by any means.

In fact, I'd say the only pussies are those that are not man enough to play this variant.

I didn't realize I was "gay-friendly."
I thought I choose to like smart and caring people regardless of their identities, but I guess that was wrong. I didn't have a choice in this. I was just born this way. Damn you genetics.

OH hey! That game 1 ended in a draw! Check out this awesome message the automated newfangled compyuters sent out!

"You have drawn with your rivals, and survived! You win 5 D, an equal share of the pot!"

Well isn't that something. Kids these days! They think of everything!
orathaic (1009 D(B))

well done to everyone in game 1, i know it was hard to be a pacifist there.

Also @ "semck, there has been countless times we have told people that if you want something setup a certain way, make it private, put it on the forum, and when people ask for the pass and play the game, they are agreeing to follow your rules. That's how we mod. If you'd like me to formally put in a rule that states that, I'll be happy to do so."

I believe the rules are clear, 1)use common sense, 2) help the mods/admins keep the server fun.

This covers a lot more than any specific rule can. And i think the rules are better if they are kept short, concise and to the point.

People do not read privacy policies or end-user license agreements. We are better off without long complicated and easily ignored rules. (i fear the scale of the community means that these 'cultural' understandings of the rules take more time to spread out and reach new players and differences of opinion regarding how they should be implemented might be fostered, but we have discussion to help avoid such problems)

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?
