I was re-reading Randy's lies and spotted yet another. he mentions the base NWO game was near impossible for the larger powers to win yet the facts simply are not on his side. In every game I ran I can think of none off hand (hey, maybe ONE was an aberration I am not recalling?) Either the USA, France or UK took part in the win. China and Russia did well in most as well. Now he can claim this is not true but it's just not correct. You can argue that "other" powers have a hard time certainly! But to claim the big powers had no chance is simply wrong.
The games with rule changes were flawed and hell, the entire game concept is flawed! But it seems to work more often than not with the old rules. Again, have new ideas...test them out, have fun doing so. Simply remember they seldom work as expected in the first run. I am against the pirates but the idea could possibly work if re-tooled and if one wants to do so, I am not going to say it should not be done nor am I EVER going to say the game should never be modified. Knock yourselves out and have fun with changes, that is and always has been my position! (but again, I have every right to disagree with any suggestion I don't like, Randy can agree with the change as well, that is his right. Because I am "against" a particular change does not mean I am against all changes now does it?)
