Pacifist Variant

Lets decide on fool-proof rules so Draug and nefarious people like him cannot ruin another pacifism game.

These are the failed set of rules. Feel free to use them as a starting point, or as a lesson on what not to do.

"Here are the rules that we can amend and we must agree on by simple majority (half plus one, so 7/2 +1=4.5 we cannot have less so the minimum is 5):
1) Since we are all playing the role of the diehard pacifist, NO MOVES! [failed moves DO count as moves]
2) The last person not in CD wins. (After all this is pacifist survivor. Outlast. Outlast. Outlast.)
3) Any person that does decide to be a dick and break the rules has 1 chance to move back to their original SC's. If it happens twice (total, not per person) then the game is cancelled. If the move results in ANY gain (including neutral SC and non-SC spaces) then the game will be cancelled.
4) No pauses. If something terrible happens, look at this game as an outlet. If it starts to feel like a job and you do not like it, quit (one less person to wait it out with me).

If you find these terms agreeable, understand them fully, and are determined to stay true to them in ALL circumstances PM me."

There is no such thing as a fool-proof set of rules that people won't break, especially when they subconsciously want to break them.
The best you can do is to provide guidelines with perhaps a few points of non-negotiable rules and appeal to the best in people.

For example, it would be nearly impossible for bullshoi, KA, D33 and the likes to play this variant.

I posted this in the other thread so:
#1 We're all pacifists so no moving units allowed, all players are to save/finalize holds.
#2 Should someone move a unit out of his sc, he is warned and has to move back, should this movement take a territory not originally controlled by him, he is to be eliminated via coordination from the other 6 players (or mod intervention)
#3 6 hour phases, this is to ensure that people have to check in multiple times per day.
#4 It will be full press, so that we can cordinate properly in eliminating cheaters.
#5 Once you have left the game, don't rejoin after (you can rejoin games you cd if noone takes over). Again, a mod will hopefully enforce this.

Dude, you ruined it with your all ranting and law-laying.

NikeFlash (140 )

Maybe for you. But I did not break the rules, and I was having a blast. Also, the "law-laying" was clearly needs after game one. Are you actually commending Draug for his actions? (that is how your post reads)

dubmdell (556 )

Fasces, that's a good start. I have rewritten your rules 1 and 5 into harder rules with less ambiguity. I have added what Nike had that you omitted.
#1 No 'move' orders allowed for any reason. 'Hold' and 'support' orders are acceptable.
#2 No rejoining after CD for any reason.
#3 The last person not in CD wins.
#4 No pauses, not even for Rosh Hashanah.

Your rule 2 is a consequence of rule 1. As abgemacht said, we do not need to list punishments in the rules. It can be assumed/ stated outside the rules that violations will result in mod team notification.

Your rules 3 and 4 are game conditions, which I have rewritten for clarity and because I disagree about the press:
*) Phase length will be 6 hours, this is to ensure that people have to check in multiple times per day.
*) It will be /public/ press, so that the community can enjoy the show as much as they players.

I found that really fun (even the argument).

@dudmdell (man I just corrected myself and realised I accidentally spelled it dumb rather then dubm, sorry if I accidentally did this in game, I wasn't meant to offend you.

dubmdell (556 )
15 Mar 12 UTC

Oh, game condition #3, all punishments will be determined by Octavious ;)

yebellz (729 )
16 Mar 12 UTC

Here's an interesting idea for a punishment for ordering a move (successful or not):

The offending player(s) will be force CDed and the game will be immediately force drawn, resulting in a resign on that player's record.

Further, anyone other CDed players who had not broken a rule in that game will be allowed to rejoin before the game is force drawn. This ensures that only the cheating player(s) will be punished with a resign.

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?

This is what I don't get ....... amongst other things

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?
