Jijbent.nl - Wow!

Dipole just came online at the Dutch game site Jijbent.nl this morning. The response was immediate and overwhelming. People are starting games and moving in those games so fast I can hardly keep up. These are intelligent players. They aren't making the usual "I have no idea what I'm doing" and "Who better to teach me than the designer" statements. They already read the rules, they know how to play, and they're playing well. Really a refreshing change from what I'm accustomed to. The magnitude of the response to Dipole and the sophistication of the response are unprecedented and unrivaled.

I've always wanted to have a game in the Netherlands, and now my instincts are proving to be well founded. If I had the choice of having one game at one game site, it would be Dipole at Jijbent. Bram, the proprietor, is a great programmer and a great guy.
