Default Re: Land Rand - Jotunheim Wins!

Meglo: certain vets prefer rand games precisely because they cut down on the horrid ganging problems late game, so I think opening up diplo really changes the nature of the format. The whole sentiment of "x was winning, and then he won, so there should have been more ganging/someone messed up" is a bit telling of people's attitudes toward the game leader. There's something broken with the game when winning the game when you are in the top position midgame is considered a fluke or blamed on play errors. =)

I'd be all for pulling nations out of the mix for balance reasons or having a little bit of influence over who you get (though I'd prefer a small black list as opposed to getting one of your top 5, that's not random, that's just making the host's life livable in terms of nation assignment)
