Please clarify what you mean by "off-net collusion."  Is this to say that
we, as players, should make a move to disallow people playing with their
friends and family members?  I just finished my first ever NG game on
badcheese.com.  I thought that the level of diplomacy was just fine.  I do
think that it is the nature of small games that groups of people who know
one another will naturally sign up.  Is this a problem?  I agree that a
gang of people that all know each other going into a game already allied
does cut down on the fun diplomacy aspect...   Any ideas for a solution?
