That is a quote from me, just a few posts ago. In which I specifically say that I don't think Rome should be punished.
This is not (just) about Rome.
It's also about the 'next civ' that may make this same mistake and that you don't want to 'warn'.
then for some reason calling it an "American" as opposed to "Dutch" approach, which to me makes absolutely no sense at all, and seems to me to be intended as some sort of insult.
Why is that an insult?
Everybody knows that there are different approaches when it comes to giving penalties and doing justice.
And eveybody knows that the American one is different then the Dutch one.
I don't see how that is an insult.
Then you say it is very clear and solid, well it is "war-time" right now, so in your mind what constitutes "war-time"? Didn't he kill some of your, oops I mean "Greece's", units a few turns ago?
Ah, you think that I'm Greece
That's funny!
It's obviously not funny that you 'give that away', what if it's true?
Anyway, I haven't been in direct combat with Rome, and as far as I know, neither is Greece or Maya. (that's at least what Rome claimed in their posts above but maybe Greece or Maya can tell if it's different).
Is there not a war going on right now? Last time I checked there was.
If I understand Rome correctly then there's officially a war but there's no actual combat. (cold war?)
And again, I don't know why you are making me out to be some sort of tyrant who wants to go around punishing people for no reason.
No, I just putted your position down as strict and putting the same penalty on everyone, cheater or mistake maker. Is that not true?
That doesn't make you a tyrant, just only someone with a different approach to punishing then me.
I just want to ensure that this doesn't happen (because it isn't supposed to) and make sure that everyone understands the rules and there is no confusion.
Your way is not going to work.
Look at the USA, very strict in their war on drugs, but there are more drugs addicts in the USA then in Holland, where there is a very tolerant dope climate.
Not to mention of course that we're not dealing with cheaters but with people who accidentily make mistakes. And it makes the game tedious if civs that aren't involved in combat even have to watch the timer that tintense.
If you have a plainly stated rule, that doesn't harm anyone, that everyone understands clearly and can follow then you simply will not enounter this issue again.
The rule was clear and now here we are again.

I have not insulted America.
I've just explained the differences between the punishing system in The Netherlands and The States.
If that difference is an insult to you, then reality is an insult. I never meant it to be an insult and I don't understand how you take it as an insult. Have I said things that are not true? Is the American penalty system not based on a different approach? Is the American punishing system not harder and stricter then the Dutch approach?
The Capo, please don't read insults where there are no insults.
