i want in.

Thanks Skanky

1) B
2) I think G is the solution involving the most strategical choices of all.

Let me explain. A and B don't work as we have seen in the last game. I don't want to have a game in which one of the players has absolutely no options simply because everybody else teamed up against him. C and D are artificial solutions, with C being very similar to the situation in the previous game and D favouring the lone renegade too much. F has already been tried in Society and is perhaps too powerful. E and G are basically the same solution, except E is a renewable immunity and G non-renewable.

I favour non-renewable, or renewable but very expensive, lest spies become useless. So, either E or G is what I'm for.

we can call the special ability Real Ultimate Power

[DrSpike]

My worry is that spies will become too weak. At present I like the way the work, except the lockups that people can organise. It's important to note that spies are a key part of anti-alliance defence as well, because one of the attackers might not turn up to attack you.

I'm still musing; I am leaning towards G.

As for co-ops I'm not really bothered either way.

[GeneralTacticus]

I have no problem with G, either, as long as you're still allowed to use Special Orders while deploying counter-espionage (doing otherwise would defeat the point of using it in the first place). However, I think E would be a better solution, if it was amended so that you spend, say, 10-20 BPs to buy immunity to one spy; that way, you do have expend more effort if you have a whole alliance sending spies at you, while an alliance would, in turn, have more difficulty keeping down a player who was spending a lot on counter-espionage.

[Ljube]

Counter-espionage would be one of the normal orders, of course.

Your improvement of the solution E is far better than my original proposal.

I still favour G, however.

B
and
G

I'm still on the fence as to whether to play or not.

The other question about G: is 3 too many? Did any of us even fight more than 3 battles last game?

[Ljube]

Yes, perhaps it is. If G gets the majority, we'll have a second poll on the number of Gs (3, 2 or 1).

[Theben]

1) B
2) F, without further insight.

Please play. I bet this game will be more interesting than the previous one, with countr-spy mechanisms that can prevent game lockups.

Also, I'm doing a Delta quadrant game and I need as many Kazon sects as I can get

[Skanky Burns]

1) B
2) D

A and B will both lead to spy lockups, as shown by the previous two games. E will make spies too weak. To my mind, only C and D will continuously be able to prevent spy lockups while still providing people with large numbers of spies an advantage.

[Kassiopeia]

How about D, but increase the amount you can stockpile at maximum? Like to six, which is needed for a lockup of three successive turns. Would the increase apply if anyone used a spy after someone else used a spy the last turn?
