House Rules

I wonder if we can go on strike until EVERYONE reads the house
rules!!!

PLEASE read them as there are many differences from before both for
Harlequin and DGE players. Save me about 10 emails a day that way... :slight_smile:

Thanks

Clint

In my continuing attempt to be sycophantic, could you please be more
specific?

I'm sorry - should there have been a smiley face at the end of that?

I'm always kidding, Clint. And never kidding. <g>

Seriously, are there any specific issues you guys are encountering? I
have read the new house rules, but that doesn't mean I didn't miss
anything, and I'm sure that goes for most of us here.

Standard questions are:

1) My balance on my turnsheet is low, I add money but it isn't added.
1)a) Standard answer: FRONT sheet is where your balance is now kept

2) Where do I send my turns to?
2)a) me@MiddleEarthGames.com - only please. (1 copy is all we need).

3) I would like to put myself down for the WW is ten games time please - I
am happy to wait 10 years.
3)a) we don't do that - first come first serve - we don't hold off set-ups
as the games get bogged down waiting for the Woodmen... :slight_smile:

4) My Balance is incorrect - I sent you $50 last week but my turnsheet
shows....
4)a) See 1)

:slight_smile:

Wouldn't it save you a lot of hassle if you got the old stuff on the
first page erased? It surely can't be a major programming task for GSI.

In the mean time, calling it the Front sheet may be confusing to new
players, since you're talking about the FRONT sheet that comes to most
of us as a separate e-mail, before, after the turn sheet, or sometimes
not at all (still waiting for mine from 51 btw, and wanting to know if
someone got it in error). And of course the old accounting data is on
the front sheet of the turn sheets!

"Cover sheet" gives you the same problem, so perhaps you could find a
new name to make it clearer what is meant. Anyone got any ideas?

all, know all sort of person), you should know that my
armies was moving east for the last couple of turns.
So not noticing that my army moved west was an obvious
mistake on YOUR part. FIX IT.

2) I'm an neutral, but I just got attacked. I was
planning to build up and attack someone in 5 more
turns, not now. THIS NATION SUXS, give me a better
nation next time.

3) Nation xxx won't talk to me. I want to talk to him,
You are the controller of the game, FIX IT.

4) I send turnsheets to me@harlequingames.comm and
they still get processed. Telling me to only send my
orders to me@MiddleEarthGames.com is a pile of poo.
GET IT RIGHT.

5) I use to play game abc with company xyz. Your
company does things differently than them. I paying
you money, so I want you to change how you operate to
make it easier for me. so FIX IT.

6) How's the cat ?

thanks
din

p.s how is the cat ?

pps can you tell i just played an annoying game of
backgammon ? In the end I resigned since the other
person wasn't moving very often (I got tired of firing
off messages at the three minute mark for them to
move). Actually thats a cunning way to win in
backgammon. I wonder if I could use the same logic to
win in middle earth ??? Winning is winning, and logic
is logic, so I can't see why not.\

*** Think it would then confuse people when we changed the name... We
intend to get both Results and FS combined when we get some of the other
bits done.

Actually we are playing with the program a little here - it should work out
when we get some spare time to go through all the games... :slight_smile:

2) I'm an neutral, but I just got attacked. I was

turns, not now. THIS NATION SUXS, give me a better
nation next time.

*** My advice - get your hit in first. Play the Rhudaur - EVERYone knows
they change to the DS so surprise everyone by doing that straight away (hold
on?)

3) Nation xxx won't talk to me. I want to talk to him,
You are the controller of the game, FIX IT.

*** Send him flowers.

4) I send turnsheets to me@harlequingames.comm and
they still get processed. Telling me to only send my
orders to me@MiddleEarthGames.com is a pile of poo.
GET IT RIGHT.

*** Note first email address is not correct... :slight_smile: I can give you 4 more
email addresses (hold on make that 7) that will get to us and I bet some
players would send to all 7 just in case.... (hold on).

5) I use to play game abc with company xyz. Your
company does things differently than them. I paying
you money, so I want you to change how you operate to
make it easier for me. so FIX IT.

*** Now this one we do try to do - well maybe, sometimes - if we can... :slight_smile:

6) How's the cat ?

*** Actually she ran away for a day - as we are next to a 6 lane road we
thought that was it for Madame Le Twitch - but she decided that life was
worth living and immediately came in and destroyed someones address on teh
accounts... :slight_smile:

Double after every move that you get the chance - unless you're Greek...
