Really? I actually tend to see it the other way around. Past a certain point, national distinctions tend to blur, and it becomes more about the player at the helm than the nation itself.

Sure, game spammage can help you work up it, but the way dominions is set up its not like you can just sit down and pump out 50 games in a weekend like you can with some games. It takes so long and gets so detailed that I think that the "leaderboard" so to speak is much more accurate for Dominions than for a lot of games.

For me, the Law of Large Numbers is spoiled by the Law of Needing To Hold Down A Job.

Omni - who is the OP in reference too? I'd like to avoid playing with whoever that is if they go AI in most of thier games.

It isn't in reference to anyone in particular.

It is actually aimed at the 'Land Rand' game in which we've been on a 72 hour schedule since turn one because people won't get their damned turns in, and no one desires setting the repeat offenders to AI, or even just stale them, since that creates a lot of havoc and disrupts the game.

I don't know if the cause is that these people are in a lot of games. However, other games I've been this has been behind people being late.

There's certainly players who can handle being in many games.

Going with the classic powerhouse nations is another great way to get into the hall of fame early.

I've advocated staling the slackers every time Pasha has mentioned it on IRC. Its not like the stated hosting schedule is particularly onerous. Not being able to meet it *and* not asking for an extension means you deserve to be staled.
