OOC Thread and Chatroom

I'd like to point out that it is quite different if an already established army is one regiment short of regulations (especially after battles or if it is divided between two persons), or that a person that recently became eligible for private army doesn't get one after repeatedly being pointed out that one should be recruited.

Furthermore, it is an OOC rule. Impartial, set in stone, part of the mechanics. If you are looking for loopholes in OOC rules then you are by definition mixing IC and OOC aspects of the game. And that in my opinion is malice aforethought.

If I ever, ever, ever, ever become Megas in this game, I'm going to employ a hat full of lawyers and have them guard my inbox 24 hours a day.

I'm sure there are some people who are going to disagree on this...but, I think the time spent on this topic OOC is becoming disproportional to what has occurred. TC has made his summary comment, Igno has made his. Everyone has made their position clear.

I'd like to propose moving on.

If anyone wishes to continue discussions then in the interest of amusement please do it here in the OOC with TC so I can watch.

I think we'd all learn a thing or two on formulating positions and legal process

I think I'm gonna start an I'm a Participant in LotR without a Legal Background (IaPiLwaLB) support group. "Politics and history" majors will only be accepted as associate members, since that's still sort of related, as far as I see it. Having heard of "malice aforethought" before is grounds for immediate disqualification, regardless of educational background.

Maybe, just maybe, it's better if we first send a friendly pm to the Megas in charge if we think we noticed a mistake, something like:

"Hi there, When I examined the save, I noticed that army XX needs extra units. It's the army of YY and according to rule ZZ it should be prioritsed. Thanks in advance. Btw, I do realise that being Megas is alot of work and I really appreciate your efforts, so I'm not annoyed at all. This is just a friendly reminder. Thnx in advance and keep up the good work Cheers. P.S.: Naughty boy P.P.S.: "

If such a pm would be ignored, the next step should be contacting TC in private.

Of course, the culprits' pm box should be empty in order to follow that course of action

But then again, maybe you should just ignore me, since I'm one of those guys who doesn't qualify to join the IaPiLwaLB support group

Andres,

That is certainly what I hope is the future of this game. I'm totally sure I would miss things. There would be a standing order to contact me in the event of issues.

I received an email from Askthepizzaguy:

Because of computer complications, I must delay the launch of the Simpsons Mafia game. Couldn't start yet anyways.

Also, must drop out of Soviet Mafia game for the same reason. Please let everyone know I am sorry. Sorry everyone!!!

Guess he won't be around for LoTR either.

This is an excellent idea. I would like to start implementing this for OOC problems with the game.
