Reveilled Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hmm. Okay, we have a little problem. Basically, this game has no rules for handling dropouts. The rules of the game are pretty clear that the policies for players who don't or can't submit orders should be worked out before the start of the game. In OBS-1, therefore, I made the three-turn dropout limit part of the house rules. Archie, however, neglected to give any house rules. Therefore, there are technically no rules for how to deal with countries who haven't submitted orders. And thus, we come to the real problem. Obviously, in my capacity as GM, I'm going to have to set rules on this now, and those rules would be to impose a three-turn cutoff. Furthermore, given the manner in which I GM, there would have to be unanimous agreement among players on the introduction of this rule. Unfortunately, I'm also aware that in my capacity as the player of France, I'd vote against this rule's introduction. I'm sure you can see the potential problem with the GM expectation of impartiality this would cause. Thus, I'm going to call for a vote on this. If a majority of players vote for it, the three-turn civil disorder limit will be imposed. Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaguars4ever Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I believe Rev's issue pertains to Civil Disorder - which, as you know, may result upon certain criteria (as the aforementioned "3 strikes & you're out" rule). Further upon which, removals may take place under the precedent of number of units exceeding the number of SC's, with units furthest away from home first, fleets before armies. I know in the game you're GMing, Mets, you've been lenient enough to allow submission even upon failure to send orders 3 consecutive times in a row. However, this is an issue I feel the GM solely deserves to make. Given that the game is already underway I do respect that Reveilled has the courtesy to at least ask us anyway. So yeah, you have my vote Rev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reveilled Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 Would it be better if we set the three-turn rule, but I kept a similar leniency about the rule as Mets does? Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaguars4ever Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Grr. <_< Recounted here is chapter Spring 05 of the great tale of the defeat of the Evil Czar Jaguars4ever, leader of the Great Russian Satan, in which the most evil Czar cunningly outwits our Hero and causes him to fall into a trap. <_< The Hunt for Red October.

metadigital Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Of course I do it the best way. " Regarding your earlier ethical dilemma, Rev, I don't see the problem: as GM you ask for a vote, and (either overtly or covertly) determine whether it must be unanimous* or a set majority; and as a player you cast your vote. * This is the tricky bit. As you have already been quite visible in your unanimous requirement for rule changes (nasty Ender!), I see no obvious disingenuation ... :D You can thus make your decision based on your own greedy little self-interest, safe in the knowledge that you are acting completely legitimately. Bit like winning at a casino: you know you shouldn't, but if you do you feel that guilty enjoyment. Also, it's not like I've been "pulling a Darkside", I've had to visit the hospital every day for the last three weeks, so I haven't had time to fill my personal commitments, let alone do anything fun.

Reveilled Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Urg. I'm swamped presently with work and revision for University exams and reports, which in addition to cutting into my time with CivIV, may adversely affect my ability to GM for a few days. So before anyone sends me any orders, I'm going to have to postpone adjudication until Saturday. Apologies. Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, I have little time to adjudicate the turn right now, so I hope it'll be okay if I just list the orders. It's not like the map is much changed as a result, anyway.
