If it's easy for Plako to do, I'd say do it. If it isn't easy to change the order around in WB after making it, I'd say don't. It is something I would certainly prefer were randomized, but not to the point of making Plako do a whole bunch of work.

I randomly picked Darrell to start the game.

In general changing order is relatively easy although a bit error prone task.

As long as there was a random picking, I'm all happy (well, except for the fact that I don't like the results of it wink)

Are we allowed to open old saves to check on things?

Have you had restrictions on that in other games? Providing no units are moved in a different way than before (and, if in doubt, don't move them) I don't see the problem at all. Even then, that only really relates to units moving which gains new information.

I spent a lot of time in the early days of PBEM13 re-opening saves to check demographics. I didn't ask permission... rolleye

Yeah, its just for demo. I'm trying to teach myself C&D and my regular resoruce (rego) is in this game. Sounds like it is okay smile.

Thanks

The rationale is that people can always do this kind of analysis while playing the turn, but if we force people to do it then, they will needlessly hold on to the save.
I have to run.

Makes sense to me.

Great pace fellows thumbsup. If regoarrarr would stop celebrating his birthday with his family, I bet I could get it back in the next hour and play before my poker game tonight [Image: mischief.gif].

Three turns in one day isn't enough for you?lol I agree though, great pace so far.
