Excuse me for being a little frustrated -
You just kind of freaked me out about the haggling for victory conditions idea, and yes that does seem both arbitrary and unilateral. Also, it came out of the blue (was very unexpected).
**Sorry about that. It started a joke like response of ridiculousness, probably in poor taste. **
I am also just concerned about adding major house rules to the game, because only by playing by the uniform rule book can you count on what the rules will be, and your game is transferable to other venues, face to face, etc.
I whole heartedly agree! Outside of bidding, which is a house rule that Larry said he won’t touch and Krieghund as refused to ever comment on other than we can do whatever we want with bidding, I would prefer to keep ALL rules per the books! However, the way I see it, I am just one voice of the league, I am not the Dowager Princess. If the community comes and says “we want to use German pieces for America and American pieces for Japan instead of how they are now” I have to go to the rulebook to see if it’s explicitly forbidden, if not, I want to go to the community, ask the question, and let the players vote. (I selected that example because I could give a flying leap, TripleA locks you in on color I think anyway and if you play in person, no one is going to KNOW what color each country is using, right?)
The fact that you consider me an unofficial league moderator assistant is news to me, and will help quell the angst, I think. I would just advise you not to change the rules of the actual game and there will be no revolts.
Pretty sure I told you that last year. Perhaps I did not and for that I do apologize. I do ask, of course, that we TALK about major issues.
Oh, and yes you were gone for 4 months with no explanation and the league went on, but what you don’t recognize is that was in no small part due to my efforts.
**I honestly never bothered to go back and check what you did or did not do in my absence. When I came back and things were running smoothly, I assumed you kept things on track as backup moderator and decided not to meddle. (Yea not only do I play Axis and Allies but I am also the only girl you will ever meet who won’t meddle. :P deal with it. - sarcasm font!)
And no, I am not going to get into why I was in the hospital. They say they corrected the issue and they also said if they did not correct it, I would never know about it, so I figure the matter is dropped.**
