Hey all.


Just a quick question - is feedback one per player or one per game you have played with that player?


Basically - if I give positive feedback to those I've played with recently, am I then restricted from giving a negative feedback should they cheat in a later game?

2100 - my predictions

China will definitely be a major world power.

The EU will expand at least as far as Turkey and border Russia, however will exist as a federal state - with devolved power to the constituting parts.

The USA will lose some states but still remain a major power. (This is ...

In my view the media plays an important part as a check on government. Yes - it lies, distorts and misrepresents. But then so do governments.

Someone already mentioned how a coalition was formed in the first war.


Just a point of fact - a coalition was formed in the second war too. Britain, Australia and Italy were significantly involved, and a number of other countries contributed troops also.
