My nation choices are attached here, as I did not see attached files as a PM option.

Evilhomer · #2 January 14th, 2007, 12:32 PM

Sure I'd like to play

DrPraetorious · #3 January 14th, 2007, 12:35 PM

Yeah, okay, post your choices here - and delete the attachment as soon as it has been downloaded once.

--EDIT--

I already made my nation picks so just send them to me as a message and I'll have to trust myself not to change my mind.

Okay - somebody has spied on solo's nation selections, since I've downloaded the attachment twice and it has been downloaded a total of four times. Is there any way to find out who it was?

I clicked on the attachment, I did not know you were'nt supposed too, not read through the entire thread. It does not matter, as I will not be able to join any tournament games, not enough free time, in too many MP's at the mo. Good idea thou.

Oh, okay. False alarm, then.

It doesn't matter to me if anyone sees my choices.

I also agree with Frank Trollman about allowing diplomacy.

As for possible cheating, I've noticed in other MP games that I play, that sooner or later cheaters slip up and are identified. After that they are shunned by the playing community, a well earned reward.

The only way to check such things would be if it was offered for download someplace that you have log file access. Such as putting it on a personal webpage or off of a server like mine.

Also, keep in mind, especially with a pbem game that some people like to play from multiple machines so they might download it to their desktop, and to their machine at work, and to their laptop.

I tend to agree with Frank (even if I don't think there will be preformed teams of cheaters for a little tournament in this small community, it's always possible). Anyway diplomacy and trade are a part of normal mp games, and if the tournament want to measure somehow the skill for mp games they should be in.

The only problem possible is : already qualified players helping one of their former allies in the next qualification match (ie : someone win in EA with the support of another player then help him in MA). If the number of players is sufficient this can be avoided by making sure the same players never replay together before playoffs ; if the number is not sufficient it's harder to avoid (except if matchs are played one after another and the winner don't replay before playoff or if only the final total number of vp count for qualification).
