I wonder why there are lots of players searching playing partners but no-one offers a forum game! Rolling Eyes

Well, here you can tell us why:

Oooops! There's one poll answer being left out (my mistake?):
It was: .....are a great idea but....(please leave a post)

Well, I'm playing one, so I guess I think it's a good idea. Smile

Actually, for those who have extensive FTF opportunities the forum games might be boring, and for those who have trust issues they might be too anxiety-inducing, but for those of us with limited opportunity to play (I have just my two boys as opponents) it opens up some new competition.

As far as time is concerned, it's easier to find a few minutes to answer a couple of forum posts than to block out a couple of hours for an AIM game (although I still plan to do that when I can).

As for being boring to read, well, I'll start taking care of that next turn...

The forum games actually helped to increase my understanding of the game. I read through the rules and then looked at the post by post of past games and followed along to see if I then better understood what was happening and why.

Ok, I added (and voted for) ".....are a great idea but....(please leave a post)". Here's why...

This month at least I don't have time. I'm taking two weeks off this month (just got back from the first one). I'm also going to GenCon, and have to get everything ready for the SFR booth. But next month, I may not only play in one (or more), but also run some special games. More on that later...

They are a great idea but...it's hard for me to remember to pack them. While it would be interesting to assemble armies on a plane especially during the turbulence and when we do those dives, the TSA seems to have it out for me already (a guy in KC with my name is on the 'Do Not Fly' list) and those dice will probably not make it out of Kansas City International. It just isn't the same when one uses a program.

I think forum games....
are a great idea but.......

a multi-player game it is actually a better format,
because you don't feel obligated to make more than one move.
You get time to reflect.....
Mirror Draft Duel joke there Razz

I went with a GREAT IDEA BUT....because the minor draft will be my first one. I have read thru several to see how other people think and picked some some ideas I may not have come across with out reading them.
