My vote is YES as they are obviously not interested in playing.

[checkMate]

Well if neither of them want to argue the point in the next few days we could post in the recruitment thread.

But first I think we should poll everyone to see whether they would just rather drop them and go back to just eight teams?

[Keygen]

Since all teams have started games with SCF and they're all in the beginning - within the first 10 turns - I would recommend we find subs but preferably players that are into CtP PBEM for some time to avoid similar surpises in the future where things will be more difficult.

dimytes (jerker DOT a AT telia.com)
might be interested in joining the SL if given a partner.

Pave, we are on turn 1 (SCF vs Dream Team) and the game seems to be stuck on pacman and has been since Sept. 18th. Please check the thread.

Didn't Pacman say he couldn't play anymore? He has done this before, I believe.

Many of the players have been requesting and recieving their partners turns in the 2x2 games. They are looking at their partners position.

I mention this because some may not think that they can do that, but since so many players have been doing it, we would have to say it is legal.

You can request that your opponents send both you and your partner each of the turns, you can just request the other turn from time to time, or you can even just get your parnter to forward you the turn. Whatever suits you better is fine.

But, everyone please do look at your partners turns. If you don't, the players that do so may have an unfair advantage. They will be able to meet there partner sooner and start exchaning technology/maps etc...

Whoever started this I think this is a terrible idea! When Math first mentioned he was looking at rickety's turns I thought he was joking. It takes alot of the fun out of this. Checkmate says players can start trading maps sooner, what's the point if you are looking at his turns anyway?!

I was always under the impression that anyone other than a moderator looking at someone's turn was a major rules violation (A reason why moderators are not supposed to be players in their games). So does this mean in any of my non SL games if I have an alliance with someone I can open thier turns? Why not just play it like a board game and we all look at everyone's turns!

I thought this was supposed to be a game of establishing a Civilization. Making decisions that are going to effect your society for all time. Think of all the great explorers in history, do you think that any of them would have done what they did if they knew what they would find when they got there?

This has taken alot of the fun out of this for me, and I have lost quite a bit of interest in this. I can't see how this can make the game any more enjoyable. I ask everyone that are in games with me not to do this. If you already have please stop.

[Mathemagician]

if everyone agreed on this, its fine with me.
but how do you intend to judge on the issue of players telling their partner in which part of the map they are "in words" like "upper left" or something ?

I don't care. I try to stick to the spirit of the game and assume my opponents have the integrity to do the same. I would rather stick to what I think is right and lose, than achieve a hollow victory. If others don't feel the same that's their issue not mine. I have asked my opponents not to partake in that activity in games I'm in. I have no way of monitoring whether they do or not, nor do I care to. I will not be doing this. If flameflash feels this puts him at a disadvantage and would like another partner, I understand. I was excited about playing in Superleague so I could match my skill to the other players out there, but I now think the emphasis is more on a quick victory then on skillfull play.

[Mathemagician]

i put it this way:
if something is legal, i will use to my advantage.
if not, i will desist from using it.

thats my basic rule for all games.
so, this being said, id really like it to be clarified if cooperating position-wise with your partner in any way is considered legal or not.

[Frozzy]

I suppose viewing other games your partner is playing is okay, to see his style of play if you like.

But opening turns in play is a BIG nono, IMO.

[ricketyclik]

I originated this practice in SL2, having had it suggested by TheBirdMan in an older game of a similar format. Not only does it save an awful lot of typing when communicating with your partner about strategy, but it also allows the partner to "next" his team mate should the need arise.

I can appreciate your point of view Milamber, I should have consulted with the other members of the League before unilaterally deciding to go with it. However, the genie is well and truly out of the bottle now.

Never the less, I will abide by your wish in our game (from now on).

Ask dimytes if he´s still interested to be my partner
