suggestion for spoiler talks

[Headmaster]

I think it's unfair that everyone can read the spoiler talks because you can get information about enemy, resource and continent location before starting the game.

My suggestion: Make the spoiler talks thread password-protected (or if that isn't possible make a private subforum). Everyone who reaches 1 AD sends his savegame to the GOTM mod and then he can give you access to the spoiler forum. By 1 AD you should know where your enemies, resources etc. are anyway, so reading the others' posts won't help you very much.

It's all about the honor code. If someone wants to gain an unfair advantage, nothing is really stopping them. Putting a password on the spoiler threads just means they'd have to play through and see where everything is, then restart.

I dont think it really makes that much of a difference for the people who are really determined.

Why ? Because they could play once, cheating like hell just to see what's up with the map & the second game they would know anyway...
