For greenline to spam :P

I hear we're getting a tracker; can the link to it be posted in here when it's good to go?

Sian made a tracker for us and posted it in the game organization thread; here you go in case you didn't have the link before!

So with the General thread about the Apostolic Palace simmering, I realized that I don't think bans were ever made explicit for our game, apart from the phrase "standard bans" being floated. Since this is my first game here, and in the interests of clarity, can we nail down what exactly is allowable?

Here's my stab at "standard," using a template from a completed BTS PBEM. Is this correct/agreeable?

No vassal states, no nukes, no WE, no spying missions, no AP/UN resolutions, no diplo victory, no blockades, no tech trading and brokering.
Spies: passive espionage only (don't build Spies; can view graphs)
Wonders: No bans.

I don't believe vassal states affects anything in all player MP besides offshore city maintenance.

I'm fine with the rest of those bans.

[picklepikkl]

Yeah, I think REM disabled vassal states in mapmaking already (which is where the game-mechanical effect is toggled); it was just in the thing I copied from and so got pasted in.

By the way, thank you whichever admin stickied this thread

I played my turn 10 minutes before it was sent to me. Thank you PBEM74 for making me notice that my new PC's clock is a little off.

Everything ok, Jowy? You've had the turn over 24 hours.
