RFE: no trading

[Gandalf Parker]

Im not down on the strategy-vs-strategy games. They just arent my cup of tea so Im not motivated to try and figure out how to make them better.

But I have done SOME thinking on blind-man games. It has a draw to it. Personally I will defend the impressions of "Gandalf Parker", the virtual persona, more than my desire to win a game. Im a trusted ally and I want that to continue from game to game. But there are times when I wish I could join a game anonymously and play as an *******.

Maybe down the road when Ive figured out how to do better alliance games, I will put some time into putting up some blind-man games. And maybe even some enforcable no-alliance games.

Gandalf, just don't forget that the blind-man games will likely draw the attention of similar people (ie, those that feel like being *******s), so those games could get a little more "crazy" then you'd expect

Actually I think that some people are professionally and openly *******s so they already have that personae to protect becuase its expected of them. At least, we did have them in Dom2.

So an anonymous game might have two results. Only the "Im kinda new at this ******* stuff" people would play, OR we would see the publickly known *******s joining the game to secretly try their hands at being helpful loyal allies without besmirching their known identity.
Either way it would be fun.
