View Full Version : Thread Purity

We have a bunch of threads going that are pretty similar and we are spreading some of our discussion over various threads. So, here is my 'thread purity' suggestion:

- player turn threads - reports about what is happening in game only - no suggestions at all, just reports and some screenies to illustrate or map out the plan

- team communication - one thread per team (seems to be working well)

- city management - one thread to discuss all city management items (work tiles, builds, etc)

- tech selections - one thread to discuss tech items

- worker actions

- cloak and dagger (seems to be working well)

- macro game play, long term plans

- screenshots (I'm finding it difficult to locate screenshots as they are spread over a number of threads - proposing a thread that has all of the screenshots (post screenies in other threads but also post them here)

- military campaigns (not required at present)

Others? Comments?

I'm not sure we need a new thread for screenshots but I think one for tech selections is a good idea.

hey - you're back - great - can you play a set in SGOTM7? My original position was that I would prefer not to have one for screenies either - until I had to search thru 4 threads to find the screenshot I was looking for grrrrrrrr

Replying to loads of posts in the last 2 hours in thousands of threads was cumbersome.
I think we should revive the strategy thread to discuss tech, build orders, settlement etc.
All those things cannot really be treated as separated things but are linked closely together in a hopefully consistent strategy.

Post #1 of that strategy thread could be updated constantly to state the building queue, the tech list, settlement plan, etc. That would make it easier for the turn player.

Edit by Ruff: see - other players can edit people's posts! Unlike other forums!

We should start another thread (!yay more threads) that has the agreed upon decisions and that is it. Just 1 post long. As you can see above, anyone can edit anyone else's post so we will not have a problem regarding getting locked out of threads.
