RAH rules: Description and Origination of

[rah]

Well, the guy really sucked, so that might not be a bad Idea. (unless of course it was one of Eyes DLs)

Maybe that's the secret. Start using different names. If you lose, you can just stop using that handle. If you win, keep using it. (or just announce who you really are). I bet I could go undefeated using a stratagy like that.

Thing is you mean this jokingly..............I suspect the dictum that many a true word is spoken in jest applies.

[rah]

Yep.

I'm sure that strat has been used many times at the zone.

CW, a rules clarification. Since someone asked about it Saturday night..

NO city bribe.
If the barbs take a city, you OR anyone else may bribe it.

BUT, If someone drops out of the game and the AI takes over, and bribes one of your cities. Only the person that owned the city may bribe it back, since it normally shouldn't have been bribed in the first place.
AND others should refrain from conquering the city until the original players has taken back control.

Thank you.

This is open for discussion, but it will have to be a good arguement and supported my quite a few people.

Nothing wrong with the above, especially since that's the way we have been playing it.

An update would end any confusion.

i thought that was a no brainer. good thing you codify a set of rules. even if people dont like all of your rules they can say "blah blah blah, everything else RAH's rules"

Did I read this wrong, or did someone have a problem with a diplo escort?

.

[rah]

Atawa asked about it, and I realized that it wasn't specificaly stated. Even though you're right, and we all assumed it. So I guess it has to be listed. Better safe then sorry.

RAH

[atawa]

I asked about it so I could prepare my defence accordingly.

Thought it would be allowed but being an obvious bug in the game I checked just to make sure.

[DrSpike]

Hehe, when is a bug not a bug..............when it's a feature of course!

I always thought diplo-guiding was intended. Probe guiding worked exactly the same way in SMAC.

[rah]

I personally think it wasn't intended, but no one has really ever had a problem with it. I like it. When we are dealing with a rules set, it's very important that they are as well defined as possible.

[Deity Dude]

LOL - not that it matters but I always thought it was intended

[Hydey]

I always thought it was intended that spies/diplos could ignor ZOC , I do not believe they intended an army of tanks been led past a ZOC by 1 diplo.
