Names and Games

On the character front I don't find the names being relatively the same
annoying but I do find it annoying when one of your side has lost Galadriel
but there is still a Galadriel running around. Especially if you aren't in
touch with the player (i.e. they have been knocked out) and this characters
turns up out of the blue kills someone and goes away again.

On a separate issue I recently signed up for a game of 2950 & 1650 at the
same time. I was told by Clint (and I expected) that the 1650 game would
begin soon but that the 2950 one would take a long time to fill up. I know
I'm in the minority, but I probably prefer 2950, so I was wondering why it
is that 1650 is so much more popular. I suspect that some of it may be down
to the fact that most people started by playing 1650, so it's what they're
used to, and anything else may feel a bit odd. One thing that surprises me
about the relative popularity is that while I think 2950 is fairly well
balanced I've heard many people say that in 1650 DS will usually win.
Anyway, I would be interested in other people's views.

    People seem to enjoy the action on turn 1. However I find that 1650 is
actually more balanced towards the free than the 2950 game. The free lose
much of their Economic and army advantage and this makes Dragons all the
more important. In the two games I have played in the Dark have effectively
stomped on the free so much that they ended up attacking the Neutrals
because they got bored (either that or no-one likes the Rhun Easterlings)

Hey everyone

In a game I am in, a nation has named:

Ren the Unclean
Ren-the-Unclean
Renthe Unclean

and presumably

Ren-the Unclean
Ren'the Unclean
Ren t' Unclean

etc etc

I am not wildly annoyed about it - but it seems like
gamesmanship to me - something that I would hope that
we could mandate Harlequin to intercept and prevent.
What do others reckon?

Cheers

Mike
