RBP2 Lurker Discussion Thread - No Players!

But it would still be nice if all the players would atleast attempt to play in good faith instead of looking for loopholes and abusing them.

You're one to talk. You made multiple moves after lurkers pointed out they would violate the spirit of the RB community.

Guys, discuss all you want, but if flaming starts there is a very good chance everyone will get a long cool off from posting

Reagan, it'd be best if you posted example if you want to make a claim like that.

What I posted is flaming, but what Jowy has posted about Spullla allegedly getting away with rules violations because of their "rock star status" isn't? My writing style is very succinct/direct, but not inflammatory.

A perfect example of what I was referencing would be the two times Jowy posted in his spoiler thread that he'd gift away cities if they were on the verge of being captured by Spullla. I pointed out, and others agreed, that doing so would be very much against the RB "never give up" spirit. Said gifting, a move many consider pure cheese, occurred.

So when Slaze took over the crumbling Inca empire, who would have bet that he would outlast Whosit _and_ Athlete?

And Byzantium!

Ok, that last one may be less of a surprise

I swear, we're having more fun as dead Byzantium than as Spain, India 1, and India 2 combined.

I agree that this does not matter. However, I think Spulla would not have risked wasting a GM and tipping their hand. Everything would be the same expect that they would have a little less gold.

1500 gold isn't an exceptional sum considering korea could get 1700 on an island city.

Upgrading all Knights to Cuirassers with money to spare and 1500 gold isn't an exceptional windfall?

I meant that double moving the merchant to Endor to get 1500 gold wasn't any better than going to one of Korea's cities or Mali's cities and also getting 1500 gold. It isn't exceptional compared to the other destinations for the GM.
