Re: Throwing the game.

Hello Eric (the initiator of this thread),

In relation to game Owls_244 I have no issue with the way any player has played in this game I master. Particularly in terms of breaking any of the house rules of the dpjudge. I have followed the various 'diplomatic' exchanges and deemed them all to be within the context of 'playing the game'. 

The accusation that one player is throwing the game is simply your view. My view as the game master, and with full access to all press, is that the way the game is being played out, mirrors to a close degree the logic of relations on the map. You yourself, your style and choices have contributed significantly to the choices other players make. As their's have yours. That's the game.

In terms of my approach to NMRs. I use SMART_CD on all games I master. Over the years I have formed the view it is better to keep a game moving for the active and keen, rather than frustrate those players waiting for the tardy or delinquent player. SMART_CD allows this, without completely leaving an unordered power defenceless. If there are a sequence of NMRs I may decide to replace the position, using best judgement as to whether that is sensible or disruptive.

Regards,

Thorin.
