I am hard core AT, I say no to all of the following: They just are not AT games.
>Euros not AT
>Scoring = -1 Trash Points * # of player (-2 points if the game includes farm animals or royal favors)
>
>Agricola, Caylus, Puerto Rico, Settlers, Carcassonne, GOA, Age of Steam, Power Grid, RA, Amun Re, etc.
>
>Lose 2 Points for complaining about die rolls, randomness or rules. Lose 0 points for complaining about the smell in the wargamers room.
>
>*Featured Games
>
>On the bubble Struggle of Empires
Scoring looks fine to me, there is not perfect way to score these things and I say we stick to the normal GCoM format as much as possible.

I think the joke about scoring negative points for playing Euros, and losing points for complaining is kind of funny. I assume players will realize it's a joke, but I could be wrong. I'm often surprised at how serious some gamers are. Had a totally surreal experience just recently with a gamer who couldn't understand that family emergency over rides "social contract."

Welcome back from vacation Malloc. Uba is right the negative points for Euros was kind of a lame joke that a guy who just got back from a week of drinking Cerveza and Tequila wouldn't get. I'll probably drop the negative points for the actual event but I'm tempted to keep them in just to prevent so one coming up to me and say "Can I get Victory Points for playing Puerto Rico?" Malloc you're the tie breaker on Struggle of Empires so we'll drop it.
Also, I received my copy of Star Craft last week. We'll have to play when I get back from my vacation.

Malloc, are you being emphatic, or did you just reboot.
