Best Judge Attributes

On the Suzuki board I frequent, you risk immediate flames for asking
"Which engine oil is best for my bike?" without searching the numerous
previous postings on the same subject. I'm going to risk that here
because I'd like to see some traffic... and I'm lazy.

Why do you prefer the judge/site on which you primarily play? (Yes,
yes, ignoring Face-to-Face games.)

I haven't joined a game on the DPJudge yet because I wanted to get back
into some games quickly after a long sabbatical and was already familiar
with the Ken Lowe judges. Likewise with some of the other modern
interfaces, like BOUNCED. (and others at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Diplomacy)

For me, the Lowe judges allow me to send orders/communications from
work. Uh, you know.... during approved breaks. Some of the other
sites, including floc.net, unfortunately, are blocked as gaming by the
the corporate masters. I know some people aren't fond of the
Lowe/NJudge syntax, but if you look at it as sending coded messages, it
lends an air of intrigue, especially when co-workers are looking over
your shoulder.

Never having played a judge game, the question is half irrelevant. But to
answer anyway, I play almost exclusively in the ACD (Academy of Creative
Destruction) forum, which is yahoogroup based. I play there because it is a
forum where NMRs are rare, abandonments are almost unheard of, and the
membership includes dozens of elite, if not world class, players.
