I'm a Brit, and historically Napoleon was our enemy, but he was a hero to many other countries in Europe. That's ok. I have no problem with it, he was a genius anyway, and I respect that. Stalin, on the other hand was a sadistic murdering schizophrenic despot, who murdered MILLIONS of his own people purely because of paranoia and delusions of greatness. You won't see Hitler in a game of poker, cos everyone knows what he was like and what he did, but to put Stalin in a game who was just as evil if not more so than Hitler, is just plain ignorance.

I haven't played version 2.0 enough times to make sure he made the cut, but he was a prominent player in version 1.0. I was actually thinking of discussing that very point you make about fake players in some of these games. Napoleon is considered okay. In this case, Stalin is considered okay? I'm sure there would be much stronger reactions to other historical figures... Honza, no joke on Stalin.

My point is that these criminals shouldn't have any place in games like this. Not funny. I hope you were joking about Stalin?
