Multipolarity II - Game Thread

No war, no WMD? What's the point, to get a bunch of friends and sing happy songs?

Putting my foot down.

If you want a war game, a true war game, go the crap somewhere else. Try Diplomacy. Just don't make us put up with your metagaming and LOLWARs or we will do the same to you.

The point of MP is to amass influence through means besides bashing folks over the head. Conflict is a tool that is PART of geopolitics, not the main focus.

Wars are expensive. They are usually unpopular. They are also the opposite of what most IOTers like to play.

Wait wait wait..

Accusing.. me.. of metagaming? LOLWARs? Are you insane? I thought we had dropped the whole metagaming deal a long time ago. I guess some people never get over themselves.

You want metagaming? Here's some nice metagaming.

Yeah, because forming pre-game alliances to destroy a certain nation can't be metagaming! Right??

....


Right?

Technically if an IC reason can be found, regardless of intention, I'll allow such.

That has always been my policy.

It is often a logical idea to destroy players who habitually become successful. All one needs is an IC reason to do so.

Which Russia conveniently supplied by being an aggressor. Ergo its hardly metagaming, they were just plotting to kill you for being a warmonger who was getting too powerful which is an IC reason just as much as its an OOC reason.

 

[Patriotic_Fool]

I think I had plenty of excuses to be attacked in MP2 (if someone wanted to find an excuse, it wouldn't have been too hard), but plotting to kill me in X without the game having taken off is nothing but metagaming.

 

[NinjaCow64]

And this is why I told JC not to post that in SonIOT. If you're going to metagame, at least do it in private. Don't post it in SonIOT where everone can look at it, screenshot it and complain about it. That's why I lawyered myself up back there, because I knew something like this was going to happen.

Anyway, even thought this is a concern, you should probably post this in the IOT:X thread if anywhere, P_F.

 

[Tani Coyote]

Yeahh, I second that.

MP2's primary use now is to discuss any possible concerns and ideas for MP3.

 

[Jehoshua]

and to sccoff at pettiness and foolishness.

 

[Patriotic_Fool]

And to scoff at petty scoffers

James isn't even playing this game. X is the second or third one he's participated in further than "hey AA kill everyone."

So this is what being Askthepizzaguy feels like.

Uhhh?

Sure. I enjoy Lil Caesar's. 5 dollar pizza is hard to say no to.

Seriously, what are you getting at here?

Mafia.

 

[topsecret]

The ultimate player of Mafia. ATPG.

 

[BSmith1068]

A very subjective title, especially given the stats and rankings.

He gets scanned/nightkilled/lynched/roleblocked/everything else'd a lot in the first third of games, and if he isn't, the town tends to ignore him when he's good and listen to him when he's evil (but since he's been stressing this a lot the town might start doing the opposite and then he'll change his patterns).

BS, you need to add his incredibly large amount of games on the org and quite a few on TWC and giraffeboards. He has probably played (and definitely hosted) more games than any other player. He also managed to beat M2TW grand campaign in 24 turns as the Turks (thereafter given the title of Blitzmaster), so he isn't just a Bunny Ears Lawyer.

Question answered... back to MP3 Dev stuff, folks.

Expand on corporations and Espionage.

Perhaps custom corporations or players as corps?
