Great teamwork. I believe RD's legitimate concern is regarding less
cooperative individuals playing various DS positions in future runs.
The idea that Sauron's nation be automatically transferred gold from
other teammates where necessary is an excellent and realistic one.
How that would be managed is something else entirely, presuming the
GM's check Old Ugly's finances once the turn is run, and adjust
manually where necessary...?

I think this is the best idea. As one of the DS players, I can safely
say that we are quite aware of the bankruptcy threat. We have economic
reports done each month, with tax rates etc, and who is in real dodo
(it's not the Dark Lord economically.

I really prefer not to have to hand moderate the turn unless I have to.
What about having Barad dur so that if he is going to go bankrupt that this
has to be owned by the DS? As one of the more powerful DS it should not get
into trouble until the rest of the team is already on the wane.
Thoughts?

I would vote (emphatically) to leave it alone. I would, however, cut
the maximum game length to 1 year (26 moves) from 2 years (52 moves);
the free appear to have sufficient advantages in this game that they
really should be able to take a fixed location within a year.
Basically, the DS need to protect Sauron at all costs - and this
includes assuring that he has a good economy...

RD: Only one person has voted in favour of any kind of hand-mod to keep
Sauron alive, but Harle do not want to do that anyway. There is a clear
majority in favour leaving things alone so that's what we'll do.
I also agree with Marc about his suggested reduction of the game's duration
to 1 year, 26 turns.
