Digest Number 1099

Just butting in again with my unwanted large behind

Problem - Should drops be penalized?

Yes for sure, lets get some commitment going in games? Heck, I might
even be tempted to play a "normal" game again if I knew you could count
on your allies. My experience with normal games is they are anything
but. There is always some clown missing turns. Its never a level playing
field. Some might like this, I really hate it.

Stupid question: Will the ratings show number of games played?

RD: Not unless you want to drive people who have dropped for

rock-solid

reasons out of the game.

Maybe the rock solid reasons should not be penalised but certainly
penalise the characters who drop because their opening gambit failed or
their best character died so they drop and start another game next day
good grief?

My 2 aussie cents (I know, I know, not worth that much these
days.......)

  RD: I agree with you about "normal" games. I haven't played one of those for years because it's like buying a mystery box at an auction - you never know what you're going to get.

  I stick to playing mostly with people I know I can rely on, altho most games we take one or two "new" players aboard.
