RAND Game - Fomoria Wins!

[PashaDawg]

Greetings:

This is a RAND game. "RAND" stands for random nations, anonymous, no-diplomacy. In other words, nations have been randomly assigned to players who are bound by the game rules to keep their identity secret from all other parties, except the host (me). No diplomacy is allowed. Player ID's will be revealed as they are defeated. This is a fun twist on the usual game, and it was popular in the Dom2 days.

This is a PBEM game (that is, Play By Email).

I really, really, really like this idea.

Question for you....do we get to find out what nation we have before or after we submit our pretender?

[PashaDawg]

Hi reinselc:

I will assign nations randomly by rolling some dice or something. I will then send you an email with your nation assignment.

Actually I just realized that is a stupid question.

So, what are the rules regarding 'no diplomacy' exactly? You cannot communicate with the other players in any way? Can you send in-game messages regarding trades for items, or something like that? Or does 'no diplomacy' mean absolutely no contact with the other players?

Count me in, it's been a while since I've played and I've been waiting for a new game to start that interests me. And this game the last time I was in it was pretty fun.
