Maybe I can see the point about rules providing a basis for argument, but now that they are done they should provide more good than harm. At least everyone will know what the others will do in a situation. After all, one player not bribing the AI when others maybe are ruins the game, and needlessly, since I have no doubt it was just different views rather than someone trying anything to get an edge.

No need to get defensive Horse. Some cynical people might think it's because you are shovelling to get yourself out of the rather large hole you dug with only a little help.

I am not cynical btw.

Tis not wise for outsiders to stick their beak in our clannish disputes.

I guess its an ettiquette thing

One topic not covered thus far is helping the game host, which I usually am. Some players, the majority, help the host but others don't. I'm very appreciative of the help I get from players when things go wrong. A little patience and cooperation and good humour goes a long way. Things like spamming the host on icq during set up is a major peeve, as is second guessing the host on settings or players or rules. You wanna coordinate things? fine, you host it.

I can't stand players who snipe and b*tch at the host during set up, or query everything that happens in the game or worst of all start rabble rousing in the middle of the game. Its probably my biggest ettiquette beef. Ruins the game for everyone.

Most combinations of players I've hosted never have a problem. Difficulties always arise but they get settled quickly in a friendly cooperative way. Add one self important I'm-always-right arsehole to the mix and, well, the less said the better.
