See above commentary. Sian, it's a good map, and we shall have hopes, but I'm putting the over-under at July 2nd for this to be abandoned. I hope they prove us wrong, of course.

Yeah, not only does this game have some unreliable players, but Catwalk's attempts to allow for limited diplomacy are preposterous. Rolling back saves because someone broke an NAP? A list of like a half-dozen very specific allowed diplomatic agreements players have to memorize? Confounding rules regarding under what cirucmstances image-sharing is permissable ("only for border agreements tied to NAPS with dotmaps but no text, lasting for 20 turns inclusive")?


This game misses the entire point of limited "AI" diplomacy.

I'm just not sure at what point we should intervene and say "uh guys those are bad ideas" and at what point we just shut up and let them have their game regardless of the consequences.

Clearly you're not getting into the spirit here, Scooter. Enjoy it not as poor gaming, but as excellent farce.

The problem with Catwalk is once he gets an idea in his head, forget about it.

But yeah, there's no way in hell this game lasts 2 months so we may as well just enjoy the farce.

Over. It'll take them until May 30th to play the first 10 turns...actually, that's close. I think they'll sit on the sidelines for 2 weeks before ending the game though.

Is this "Catwalk" persona an elaborate troll? If we're betting, I'm laying 3:4 odds he is, particularly in view of this insanity.
