That is not true either. Some families are stronger than other families, but that will always be the case in games.

I think the idea that you can't enjoy yourself if you're getting attacked is nonsense. I am playing in a rather lowly ranked family, and we get attacked constantly. We are currently in war with 3 families. We're not going to win the round, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy myself?

You can set different goals than winning a round.

It's easy to say the game should change, it's difficult to find the right changes and let it stay IC. People have to still identify with it.

If you have ideas, we have a complete section for it.

what is there to discus?

Seeing as we don't discus blocks in the forums, no.

Less sexy.

May I ask what mod did not agree what Baratheon was doing was wrong?

it is a cool idea, as soon as you code us a good AI, we might consider it tongue

Things are not illegal untill there is a rule against it.

And we realise it is vague, which is why we will not block on sight in case of violation. People will be warned/asked to cease whatever it is they are doing first, and then if they continue with their actions, a block will follow.

It is also important to know that this rule requires all mods to agree something is in violation of the rule before blocks can be made, it can't randomly be used by two mods that want someone out of the way.

as i said, Jets, there will be some adaptions.

i think the best way to do it would be have everyone vote for the 3, or 4, or 5 people they think should be the team, people with the most votes go on the mission

Okay, seeing as last mafia game was pretty much a failure, I will attempt to get something else started. Maybe we can rotate this with a normal mafia round, maybe it will take over completely, we'll see where it goes.

This youtube video, even though they managed to make it really boring, will explain the rules. I will adapt it slightly to fit forum play.

I will need someone to host it with me, and up to 10 players (may be able to expand that, Im not sure).

So, get ready to learn!

It really really depends on the situation. Sure, there is nothing wrong with children fighting every now and then. However, you can't seriously mean that the disabled kid in the wheelchair should try to run his bullies over or something.  There has to be some kind of protection.
Don't think you need laws for it specifically though, just a teacher or parent with common sense.

In general, you make some sort of sense, but there are two important factors in this story you overlooked.

1) It depends on how much you tax, for instance, if you tax capital gains by a 5% or whatever, if the company is healthy, it will still create plenty of revenue for the owner.

2) If the taxes are used for something beneficial for the richer as well (infrastructure, education and even povery reduction to an extend), they won't mind paying these taxes so much. If the money is carelessly thrown around into dark pits of nothingness (development aid to corrupt governments), that will cause resistance.

First of all, they were not slaves, slaves don't usually have wages and pensions.

And today the Germans decided not to claim these taxes afterall.

The block always has to be confirmed by a 2nd mod, I have no power over when that happens.

I do apologize for having a life outside of IC, and having a job. I will call my boss and tell him I can't come to work anymore because I should be in chat 24/7 waiting for people to complain about something that is obviously against the rules.

Recently messages with tinyurl.com links have been sent ingame. Do not open these links, they can cause anything in your empire to happen, from killing your fleet to demolishing your buildings.

Needless to say sending these links will result in the immediate blocking of your empire.

And then you can tie him down, using wire and your shovel, chop him up, using your shovel, and eat him, in your tent that you set up with your shovel.

Does not get better than that.
