Hi,WL:
Thanks for your invite.And I will take the race of PY.

Due to the unsatisfactory conclusion of the previous game, I'm interested in a rematch, which is why I am joining. Whatever the past, I certainly do not preclude good diplomatic relations with players from prior games. I do not feel WL bested me before; now is his opportunity to do so.

Well, you called me a player w/o honor and a liar (and then you edited your msg to moderate that). You go around posting in every place I do always with the same thing to say.
I don't understand you. Why do you want to play with me?- just so you can exact vengeance on some perceived grievance you have?
I tell you I'm not here for the ego. I don't want competition with you or anyone else for that matter. I enjoy playing and winning like everybody else but have 0 interest in ego competitions. You think you're a better dom player than me, well that's all well and good and perhaps even true. It doesn't matter to me one whit. Had I any interest in this we could have just arranged a 1:1 ( and see whose the man ). But frankly I don't find this prospect enjoyable. Anyway for sure not now, perhaps later in the future I'll change my mind (maybe if there's a good prize for the winner I will ). For now I'm more into playing with lots of ppl and have interesting & varied games.

Also, you have the right to express your opinions in a civil and polite matter, nothing like the post storm you did the last few days with name calling and finger pointing and giving your very emotional interpretation of things.
If you want to open a new page then I'm all for it and although I can relate to your frustration I still think you went over the board with your reaction and believe that you owe me an apology.

I have nothing against you. I'm not upset with you nor do I feel any animosity towards you. I'm just somewhat disappointed at your disrespectful reaction. The way things are, heated and emotional, I don't think anything good would come of you participating in this game and frankly, given the way you feel, I find that strange that you'd even want to.

Can I have Pan?

Yes to CBM.
No to gem generators.
Graphs on.
Research easy.
HoF max.
Indies normal.

Any chance of having magic sites higher than 35%, perhaps 45%? 35% is a bit boring.

Btw any chance of a link to the map, Wraith? Looked in maps/mods but can't seem to find it.

Yes. Part of Sombre's project for converting old dom-II maps.

Guys, please take into account that the open settings will be decided by the majority.

As for not "throwing" up games and such we can have some house rules in that regard but I personally this would end up very artificial. let's say we decide something int he vein of:
A. Players are/aren't allowed to pass X gems/items/gold to other player [after turn Y] [in case player is Z in the score graphs] etc.

or
B. Players must defend their VPs with all their might. If they have more than one VP they must divide their forces equally between them. Players are not allowed to teleport/raid/suicide attack or otherwise risk their armies and thus prevent them from defending their VPs.

I'm not saying we can't come up with some plausible formula but how would it be enforced?- Is it even worthwhile to enforce it?- And why go to all that trouble if we can just do RAND?

I think this discussion is way out of scope of this thread. I suggest we stick to diplomacy and trust the players good judgment. And if someone just passed his 400 N gems to allow another to cast GoH and win the game via his tart factory - well, so be it.

That said, your opinions on that matter are of course welcome

[archaeolept]

research normal or hard, indies hard, but no real preferences. CBM, no gem gens, though.

[Aristander]

I am in.
I would like to try Man.
Thanks

Aristander

[Festin]

Yes, I also vote for high magic sites if we play without gem gens.
