Emne: Functionality Change (Simpler rules)

I'd like to see the way Ponds work changed. I think a player should make his (or her) first move when he signs up. Thta way, everyone's first move would be made and all the confusion about players falling with a zero bid and the lowest other bid also falling in round one could be eliminated. Not much else would change. The pond would still appear on your list of ponds once it has started and you could edit your first bid just like any other bid. I see no drawbacks to this change.

Thad: personally, I think that may not be the best idea. This particular pond is a great example as to why. There are 5 pawns entered as of now, that would mean that there would be frozen bids for the first 5 rounds at least.Add to that that these huge ponds don't occur very often, those 5 pawns could easily affect bidding for 10-25 rounds.
I think the way it is now is best. the pawns bids don't matter, play the pond as if they aren't there

Vikings: Then just remove all the pawns when it starts. It stinks to have them floating around anyway.

Are pawns in the game? Or are they out? Seems to me they're half in/half out. Kinda stupid way to play a game if you ask me.

Sorting out the starting issue, sorting out the pawns issue, and allowing different starting point totals and bonus would make this good game a great game!
