I want to play, just pick a scenario, start a thread which says: " PBEM, please join" and the see who joins.
But you need to descide on a scenario first.

I expect at least four new PBEMs after the results of the Fourth Scenario Design Contest are announced (sometime in January?).

Increase Your PM Length

I want to play Age of War...I made a version with no RRs which needs playtesting. Of course this would require Exile's approval so everyone bug him . I think RRs make the game unrealistic so I made this version which is (I think) an improvement on an already great scenario.

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Anzac, on some tiles there is industry, it looks the same as the roads but it simulates the superior industrial might of the more advanced powers, Germany and Britain have lots, France less, Italy less, Spain has I think 1 tile with it and the rest have none. Also I tried to make sure it isn't useful to transport troops, it's just there for production and can be pillaged.

I took away a lot of roads from the poorer countries to simulate their poorness and to make it harder for them to move, they need to spend time making roads before they can move troops easily. Also I increased the road movement to 8 so that troops can be moved quickly, just not infinitely and also so that you CAN move a few spaces and attack but like real life if troops march for weeks then attack they won't be at the height of readyness or enthuseasm.

No, they can do stuff, it's not that they have NO roads, just less of them, like they aren't on every tile and they sort of twist around so it takes longer to get places, there's also rivers which are important especially in Russia. Only Turkey would be tedious, the other countries are similar to usual.

I once had a political theory professor who was fascinated by Calhoun, which is kind of surprising, since the guy seemed reasonably left-wing (I know, what a shocker for a prof).

Libertarianism is so interesting, just because of all the ideologies it can hold, and how it in no way can fit on the standard political spectrum. I consider myself sort of moderate-left libertarian, but I'm not a member of the party because it seems to be run by conspiracy theorist gun-nuts. (No offense to conspiracy theorist gun-nuts, I just don't feel like voting for them).

Back sort of OT: I was actually hoping for a Crises of NWO game, but I joined one at CFC and don't have time for another.

Heh.
No insult ANZAC, but Libertarianism scares me. IMO it's a classic case of taking some good ideas too far as a result of a utopian view of the world.

Hell, I'm both a leftie and an economist, so I'm rather familiar with the conflict between 'good ideas' and harsh realities.

I actually agree w/ you guys on most of that, well not really w/ Choke, but the smaller, less intrusive govt parts, and the individual freedom parts appeal to me, but like I said, other parts turn me off. In my congressional district this year, there was just a Democrat and a Libertarian running, so I thought that was kind of cool, but I looked at the voter pamphlet and her platform was to abolish the IRS and withdraw the US from the UN...and to think that she didn't win

I guess the reaction to libertarianism wasn't as I had hoped I'm not that psychotic. I consider myself a conservative Libertarian, so you can't say I'm not trying to be realistic

I think the problem is more with Calhoun than libertarianism. For a lot of people (not me) John C. Calhoun = slavery, even though to libertarians he means something totally different.

I've never heard of Calhoun, I just know that less involved governments are less effective. Libertarianism lacks moral fibre as well as economic sense.

So... the economy of the U.S. is generally less effective than that of Sweden? Or Cuba for that matter?

I think Libertarian tendencies are healthy, if prominent enough, as they've usually been in the US, is that they can prevent the government from being too intrusive and expansive, then downside is that they can also prevent government from working effectively
