Ah yes, who would think that 30 and more voters would vote in less than a day. And we do seem to have several winners .

How do you know? You are just a drone that lives underground in filth. So you are not in any position to claim I am wrong . And fungus is not bad, unless you are not wearing your breathing mask, and unless you come upon mindworms, which are rarely seen in forests. Our patrol units "dance" through fungus.

I still believe it will be over faster, because only turnplay has left for all factions (besides spamming roleplaying) so turns can be player much faster. I guess this ACDG will be over by the end of month.

Tired of ads?

Nope. Note even looking at the moment.

Have I cured you of your Tass-virus?

(note - not roleplaying) Tass is NOT a god, and should certainly not be worshipped in spam threads. Nor should an biased person with moderator powers have access to multiple private forums. I vote "no god" in the next game with the possible excepting of the CMN being able to "read but not post" in all forums.

I do not agree the moderator should not post in all forums. There are occasions that he would need to post. For example, he may feel the need to give somebody a warning before he close a thread. However we ought to choose a moderator who will not build up temples for his own worship.

I think one person acting as CMN and mod is sufficent, and they should be "outside" the general chatter in the private forums, and basically make themselves scarce, but spring into action when summoned. The best mods do almost nothing.

Well we have to be fair to admit that the "error threads" are not the gods' fault. In fact you opened the very last error thread IIRC.

God is some fool with total power and can make ingame rulings.
Mod is someone with powers to open and close threads, forums edit stuff etc - does not make ingame rulings.
CMN is the one that sets up the game, and makes sure noone cheats - like Googlie.

Yes, sooner or later an ingame ruling comes upon.
I only need to think of the two times Pirates and CyCon had a difference. If no 'god' is present then, who makes the ruling?

No good, this gives factions with a hidden agenda the chance to already weaken a future victim a bit.

Someone MUST be kept aside to make independent and inpartial rulings.

Like I said - a CMN. They don't have to be a mod OR a God, just someone we know to be neutral - like someone who set up the game, but then takes no further part in it, except to make unbiased rulings once every few months.

I agree with GeoModder, and Jamski in a part too. That a neutral CMN would be the one who makes the ruling. Although I do believe the CMN needs to be intimately involved in the game so that he knows what is going on and thus can make the right ruling.
