Rules:
1) No fighting. This means that support-move orders are not to be used, as they have no use. If a bounce is possible, you must speak to the person in question to make sure that the conflict doesn't happen.
2) No occupation. Troops are allowed to move around, but cannot ever move into a neutral or another country's SC, even on a Spring move.
3) Don't CD. The objective is simple - to survive until the EoG, which will be as late as possible.

Anyone up for a go?

Inside the topic :D

Ahhh, I was too quick in my post!

More that I'm a slow typer :)

How does this game work?

I'll have ago. But I would prefer all holds being the only move, since that way every turn looks indentical from the start. The turn length of course has to be ~18 hours if not less. Otherwise the game will never end.

@Amisond: The object of the game is to not CD. One must log in every turn and finalize orders as to not cd. Should someone CD, they are eliminated. Once only 1 person hasn't CDed, the game is over and that person wins.

This is the game that is designed to butcher RR ratings everywhere.

like if I join I'll loose A+ 100% RR :(

...and where's the fun in this kind of game?

Mmm you should title it "Please Don't Take Over Any CD" or it will be really endless.
Nice idea, although not very funny.
Sorry, but since I've scheduled a 2 weeks journey in July, I'm afraid I can't join.

Legio expressed my same question

It could be a fun game with the threats of violence and the constant wondering if someone is going to break the rules. But with the new reliability ratings, losing this would affect your ability to play in future games. I think I'll pass.

It would have to be password protect to prevent anyone from taking over a cd

And of course the original player could always return at any time.

true, hopefully he wouldn't though, since that would be cheatin

Not according to the rules as laid out above. It says don't CD. Not "When you have CD'd you can no longer return". The object of the game is to be last man standing which means six other people have to CD in order for the 7th to win, but nothing in the rules says you can't NMR if need be or CD and then return.

The rules need a revision that says "once you CD you may never return to the game again" or some such.

Why not just be really mean and make it like 4 hours turns? Then we can see who's REALLY committed to their reliability rating. :P

In theory, 4 hours would go through three game years a day seeing as there would be no retreats or builds so those phases would get skipped.

Of course, writing a bot to play for you would be an easy one. It'd just sit there and monitor the game, issuing a "Ready" command anytime it sensed the turn had changed.

I'd join as long as it wasn't something ridiculous like 4 hour turns... or a live game.

I only get 3 hours of sleep a night, so perfect.

Why not make it live though, then we get to a real game

yeah, but live would take away the point, wouldn't it? Anyone can spend 2 hours of their live (spend is read as "waste" here :D), but it takes true commitment to last the whole months-long game, especially if some joker only saves moves

Too bad we cant have 1 minute turns...

@G: But eventually you'll have to log off. If everyone can waste 2 hours playing pacifist, how many can waste 4? 5? 6? 7? And thats the joy of pacifist, essentially whoever leaves their computer last wins.

I like the idea of a live one :D

Live Pacifist Game:
1. Fasces
2. Captainmeme

any others?

not live, and I'll play

I would if it wasn't a live one, because I have to sleep and go to school.

Hmmm... Give me a couple weeks to write a bot for it (busy at the moment) and I'll let it play you. It doesn't need to sleep or eat or got to work and it has no wife to nag it about going to bed.
