Your game is big time flawed. The smart people who take jotun or Mictlan (and whoever borders Van) will have a major advantage of dealing with only computer AI, or even better a closed slot.

cohen is notorious for creating games w/ bizarrely intricate and non-standard settings crafted to give him a chance at winning. it never happens though

he's also notorious for stealing a large number of the mosehansen slots to use for his desparate attempts.

Then, after a series of extremely aggressive diplomatic demands, upon a little setback, he generally goes AI.

and then starts yet another game on mosehansen.

JJColorado - the caelum slot in the other faerum game should be freed up soon, since I w/drew.

I kind of liked the idea of a Faerun with human pretenders and very slow research (i.e., potentially infinitely long game in a huge world without excessive magic). I would have hoped for victory locations (like, need 50 of 50+capitols), and more like 25% site frequency, though. I guess people are saying the map is too unfair when there aren't enough players. Pity, since it would likely be hard to keep 17 players participating.

Four days, four players, a map meant for 17 players, for what would be your sixth game currently started on mosehansen, Cohen.

How long are you going to hog that game slot, quitter?

well, whether he's a quitter isn't really germaine to his hogging slots. Cohen, there has been remarkably little interest in this game. please free up the slot so that someone else can put up a game.

perhaps we could get that "cradle of zen" game up?
