We all know how this poll is going to go.
Panag says that each person should be allowed to have fun with the game in their own way (apparently even if it eliminates the fun that others may have (after all, it's their decision whether to have fun or not, right? ).

hi ,

sorry , but that is not what panag wants , .......

there is no point in creating poll's that only give a Q to an other Q , ............

and why does this post only last 2 days , ....

if you really want to have a good poll on the topic , no poll , its what the people themself's , at their home at their comp do , .......

as individuals , ..........

have a nice day

Playing ahead!? Excuse me, but if anyone were to play ahead, they may as well have set everything up in about 5 min at home and played their own game by themseleves without all of this debate, counter-debate, election, and more debate. All of this would have been a monumental waste, and I simply wont accept that. Therefore vote = NO.

Enter the AD-FREE zone

Of course we should be allowed to play ahead, that way we can quicly find out that the Germans are living just a few islands north of our island, but if we go south we meet the Americans and finds a spot with Uranium we wont know exist for a long time...

Hey wait a minute...that will completely spoil the game, so the answer is:

NO WAY!

panag,

If you play ahead and still participate in these forums, it will be very difficult for you not to slip and say something that could effect how the rest of us enjoy the game. Please don't do it.

NO NO NO NO Panag NO!!!!!!

This IS the main reason why some are against all of us having the save (me included), and I hope punkbass and other supporters of the save-for-all idea take note that some ppl do seriously consider playing ahead.

Panag - if you want to play at your own pace, why don't you do that in your OWN game. What's the point in playing ahead in a game where we are all making the decisions? It opposes the very IDEA of a Democratic game.

To have the sav, we all need to have the simple responsability of DONT PLAY AHEAD THE ******* GAME.

Can we have some agreement to dont play ahead and get the sav???

What a pity for them. Ruining all the fun for them selves?!!
Hmmm, was there a clause in the Apolytionian Constitution regarding death penalty for those cheaters?

Anyway, we all could have use of looking at the actual situation at any time, and so to make up a fair opinion on matters... I think freeing the savegame, and tightening the [ ] hangman's noose, is a good solution!

hi ,

remeber who started this thread and why it was made , ...

now , for the last time it was suggested that the strategic intel and planning office should do a job , and what is intel , what is stratigic , planning ahead , ....not there for playing the game , but to see , how would this go , and that , basiccaly like in the real world , creating intel , so that when something happens , you can say , well this and that happend there and her , ....

is this so difficult to understand , ....nope , it aint , ...

and before someone start's to say , yeah but you wrote this or that , and you said this or that , ...no problem , but you sometimes have to see the whole pic , and not just take a person(s) on a certain word or so , ....

anyway , no-one talked about playing ahead , something was said , and some-one else , started to talk , "what , playing ahead" , that was never the intention , ...

anyway , have a nice , great , wonderfull day , night , where-ever you are

Suffering from ads?

Here's a solution...

Restrict all save games that occurred in the last ten turns. If someone wants a ten turn old save, that's fine, because they won't be able to play out the same way that our President did. Thus, their results of playing ahead won't be close enough to what we're currently doing to inform us of what we should do.

If ten turns isn't enough, make it something else. Just an old save game where results of playing ahead won't be relevant.

What do you think of this compromise?
