Important Rule Change

[b][size=14]Rule Change[/size][/b] For those of you who do not know, there has been a discussion going on about whether or not you should be able to turn in cards after defeating a player even if you don't have 5 cards. You can find the forum thread here: http://www.dominating12.com/forum/?cmd=topic&id=631 As of right now the rule has been changed to allow the trading in of cards after defeating a player no matter how many cards you have as long as you have a set. This rule change is on a trial basis for at least 30 days. If you have any arguments for or against, please voice them in that forum thread. There are several reasons for the change. One, it's more user friendly. New players to the site submit bug reports when they can't turn in after a kill because they only have 3-4 cards because they expected it to work differently. Two, the original 1959 rules were set up this way. Three, hopefully the rule change will mean less never ending games. If you experience any bugs relating to turning in cards after a kill please message either Matty, Fendi, or Vexer as soon as you can. [b][size=14] Point Range Limited Games[/size] [/b] Ever wanted to only play players with a certain amount of points? Well now you can if you are a paid premium member. You can set a minimum and a maximum amount of points required to join the game. For example you can set the game up so that only players with between 1500 and 2000 points can join. We decided to make this a premium member only feature because we need to encourage members to support the site. We have server bills to pay and we still are paying out much more each month than we are bringing in.

If you see Leedog, please thank him for sticking in there on the New York City map and finishing it. It was a long and hard road but the map turned out amazing. [size=14][b]Card Territory Locator[/b][/size] Thanks to Matty you can now click on your cards and it will show you on the map where they are. You may have to do a full browser refresh to see the change. (Ctrl + F5) [size=14][b]Game Log Update[/b][/size] The game log now tells you how many troops you killed and how many you lost when you conquer a territory. Thanks again for Matty.

Huzzah!

cool

woot woot

I'm not sure if this is the place to make a suggestion, but would it be possible to have a Manual setup option in the future? Random placement is quite frustrating, as some people can win the game simply because they were given a better starting position. Even if this were only for real-time games. And it could even be just for populating the territories...while initial placement was random. I just really don't like everything being random. Just a suggestion. Again, sorry if this is the wrong place for this. Thanks!
