It is not at all clear to me why this game should be especially offensive to anyone. Are all WW2 games "offensive" to Germany, Italy, and Japan? Should the French be offended by Waterloo? Are all Greeks in high dudgeon about any game based on the Battle of Thermopylae? Should the English r...

Since the change was made that after four players join, there is an additional step where everyone has to "accept" I would estimate that roughly 75% of games are aborted. I suspect this is largely because players are browsing in another window and don't realize the game is starting. It is ...

I just lost a game to a player with an ELO 80-100 points higher than me and yet I lost FIVE stars to the next level. They won fairly easily, something like 130-90, but I don't think I've ever lost 5 stars on a single game before.
