Patience, young padawan. We need to get as many players as possible first, remember?

And a dead lurker has even more restrictions on what they can post, and what questions they can ask.

And don't even ask about Dread Lurkers.

Are you trying to summon back Dr. Nomadic?

"dedlurking" is a kind of spammer o troller? yeap?

Pretty much, yes.

All lurkers are scum, and dedlurkers are the worst of the lot

/serious

Quoted from Krill's post: (these rules are only for people reading more than one spoiler thread )

:1) Lurkers may respond to civ4 mechanics questions (eg how many turns for a worker to chop a forest? Why didn't my cottage grow? How does the AP work?)

2) Lurkers may congratulate players on achieving a goal (eg Well done on getting that city spot)

2a) However, don't reveal unnecessary information on your comment (eg Well done on getting that city spot - I really thought that Greece was going to get it)

3) Lurkers may participate in option discussions but only after the player has articulated the options and only to the extent of pointing out additional strengths / weaknesses of options that the player might have missed.

3a) Lurkers should NOT suggest additional options that the player might have missed - do not give strategic or tactical advice that isn't known previously
3b) Lurkers should NOT express opinions about various options - ditto

4) Lurkers may express opinions on player agreed rules, but should also point out that rules agreed by the players should be discussed by the players

5) Lurkers may ask a team to explain their opinion about in game situations and developments, but must do this without writing leading questions, or implying information gained from other spoiler threads. It may be wiser to ask how to phrase such a question in the no players thread already, before posting it in a spoiler thread. Basically, be careful.

6) Lurkers may not ask sequence questions - bang

7) Lurkers may ask for screenshots.

8) Lurkers shall not contact players regarding the game outside the game forum by any means.

This is Quoted For Truth.

And when in doubt when Globaly Lurking, post in the Lurker thread instead of the Player thread. Lurker thread posts have zero risk of spoiling the game for the players.

Remember when you are Lurking a game:

The game is for the Players not the Lurkers.

As a Lurker you are a guest. Please be courteous to your hosts and not post anything in Player threads that could alter the course of the game.

I suggest you start discussing settings with the current group, while understanding that you might get new people.

YES.

I propose a signed up deadline of Aug 8th - which i think is a reasonable date and coincidentally my birthday :big grin:. Then Plako will need about 1 week to do the map and we will do a snake pick, so game would start around mid August.

But now we have our our own forum RB Pitboss 14 opened - thanks Brick! - so I do not think anybody will mind the wait, as we will be having fun with the spoilers thread.

It's a lurker who constantly corrects you when you make a mistake.

Can dread lurkers be banned?

You need holy water or exorcism. Only thing that helps... or the Spanish inquisition, but that can't be ordered, because you should not expect it.

It's a lurker who constantly corrects you when you make a mistake. Like Noble.

The sad part is that I probably only correct about 10% of the mistakes that I see.

Well, get your act together then, man! We can't have a dysfunctional Dread Lurker, can we?
