RBP2 Lurker Discussion Thread - No Players!

I must admit that I have raised an eyebrow at all the "no spoilers" admonishments that Krill posted in their thread. Not that it's very relevant to this current issue.

There was one that ticked off Speaker. But that was posted to save Athlete more than anything else. Athlete didn't exactly read all of Spullla's thread and posted in reply to some remark. We all know what Spullla think of Athlete. Krill was simply warning him to read all of their thread before posting....

Don't remember anything else that got strong reaction from Spullla....

To be fair to Krill, policing the very thorny issue of spoilers in this game is a thankless task. You can let it slide and people will get annoyed, or sometimes be over-zealous and people will get annoyed.

Given the 'popularity' of the Spullan thread, I would favour over-zealous over leniency - as we all know that there have been leaks of a sensitive nature in the past.

Plus with Krill as the game admin he is the only one who can do it and carry authority really.

I can see that perspective, but keep in mind that there was some leakage from the no spoiler thread into the India thread. I'm not going to argue what action Krill should have taken (if any), I just think characterizing it as a vendetta is over the top.

Hang on, did anyone read this rule closely?

Krill Wrote:If two players want to attack a single target ie a city belonging to a third party, Civ C, then they must move sequentially. ie Civ A attacks with all of its' units, and then Civ B attacks with all of its' units during the phase of the turn belonging to them. Civ C must wait until the phase of the turn belonging to it before it may counter attack or promote any units etc as proscribed above.

Bolding added by me. The problem, as I understand it, is that a rule was broken because moves were made as such:

Spullla attacks a city
Dantski attacks same city
Spullla attacks a stack outside that city

thus interleaving their attacks. But the rule only prohibits interleaving attacks against a single target. The third attack was against a separate target, which is not prohibited.

Just because I want to dig everything that is bad about Spullla….

Does anybody think Spullla would have accepted Krill's decision in their fight against Jowy? As I see it, Krill instituted new rules during that controversy. There was no basis (based on existing rules) for awarding Spullla second half.

Add one more line at the start: Dantski attacks city with catapults

Also, there was some clarification regarding city gifting and using it (culture) to attack unit behind the city. Read Serdoa's post...

Serdoa, Beamup, guys, you have done a fantastic job here, I can't thank you enough for arguing the point and writing this draft. It is a much better post than I could have written, ever, so thank you for writing it smile

Serdoa, the reason I'm not going to reference that you wrote that post is that I expect backlash from Spullla, and it is best that it is directed at myself rather than a lurker. I hope you understand, and I fully expect that the players will thank you for writing the post once the game is finished (you never know, that could be tomorrow...)
