3 more spots to fill....

No specified houserules at all..... and never had trouble with it......

Haven't been in a flamer for a very long time......

Some people say I'm the best GM in the world (on the other hand Funty says I'm the worst)......

Nick if you want to include GCaing as headhunting in your house rules, thats fine, to do it after a game starts just shows exactly how biased you are when it comes to clan mates. As usual you are doing what is best for you, nad yet you have oftem come through with "Theres something rotten in kaomaris"

A lot of us know what that rotten is now, YOU

Technically an "attack" is different from using missiles/GCAs. After all we have a Phase#2/#4 that reads "Attacks".

Headhunting had been defined as "attacking" another Players home province on the first Turn. In a strict matter this means only use of troops, not missiles, not spies.

Now if there needs to be a new definition, or some clarification, each GM can individually do this. Headhunting is an OPTION, not an official rule.

Of course Nicks attitude in handling this is once again disputable. As a player I would feel offended by the way he treats it, but then I refrained signing up for his games anyways.

Watch out Nick - "my way or the highway" is about to backfire on you.

Just to let all who are not involved in this game know. I have withdrawn my complaint and asked the game to be continued as is. But please read in the wok 5 glossary where it clearly talks about GCAs being an ATTACK. Not just me saying it but it is in the wok 5 glossary as well and even though the wok 4 glossary explains what an attack is it also states at the beginning of the wok 5 glossary that anything different from wok 4 would be defined there. So which definition is wrong? Will it be fixed? Will anyone define headhunting better in thier houserules?

I'll update my house rules to read that cga's are also considered attacks. Spying i do not consider and attack.

PS: Don't forget to update your own house rules Vali.

PPS: It says GM Andy's House Rules in the title bar, on your house rules Val.

Haha!! You should know that Copy and Paste is the only way to go Sal!!!

I wanted to point out another item that I found about attacking. In the wok 4 glossary if you scroll down it also defines short range ATTACK and long range ATTACK. So what was the definition of attack again?

The definition of what an attack is differs with the situation and the person defining it.

So people should just make sure that their house rules corretly identifies what an attack is and what not.

Hmm methinks he's a curr.....

Yeah the WOK 5 glossary surely does define GCAs as attacking, you might want to have a look at that Al if you don't consider that to be the case. I really wish people who are arguing with me here would try to adhere to the rules in the Glossary, but I guess that's a lot to ask. Nevertheles- as Validon has withdrawn his complaint this is now a non issue, and the game will go on as is. For the future though, my house rules have been adapted to be more clear.

Yeah Al, Don't you know the Glossary is where we all look if we are looking up the rules

Post by **gm_al** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 4:02 pm

I havent looked at the glossary for ages. Might want to change it in order to point out that headhunting is a GM option and therefore needs to be defined strictly in the GM houserules.

I'm glad to see this is resolved Nick.

So is the deadline still this Saturday or are we back to Thursday?

I assume Saturday
