[QUOTE]Originally posted by Yorlum [B]I agree with Hoplosternum. If you want bidding, there is nothing to stop you from doing it offline. Just record the bids and assign players accordingly. Subtract your bids from the score. It would be nice if you could do it on-line, but I'm more interested in the other aspects of this than something that has such an easy workaround. [/B][/QUOTE] If you want people to stick around for a 60 turn game.... You need to realize that not everyone likes to get beat up routinely. Part of the 'fun' is making sure that the person(s) that bid too high, dont win. That extra turn you hold Kiev, that un-needed naval battle, the casual loss of Holland. These things add up. W/O bidding, I know that there is no possible way that Turkey will ever win. So if I play, I 'donate' my time to the other players. I 'might' do that, but my play will not have that hard edge, that trying to WIN will.
