HOTW V - Set Up Thread II, or The Return of the Mods

[OzzyKP]

Ok, in total I have 98 guaranteed objective points in my system. No matter what, those points will be handed out. It is also likely (but not guaranteed) that points will be awarded for the following categories:

First to launch Spaceship - 10 points (both spaceship & diplomatic victory won't happen, only one will, so one is guaranteed points, the other isn't)
In alliance with first to launch spaceship - 5 points (having an alliance is not guaranteed)
Winning diplomatic victory - 10 points (both spaceship & diplomatic victory won't happen, only one will, so one is guaranteed points, the other isn't)
In alliance with civ winning diplomatic victory - 5 points (having an alliance is not guaranteed)
Founder of a religion with over 25% distribution - 5 points
City with legendary culture - 4 points


Ok, so from 98 - 120 ish potential objective points.

If each of us 8 have 10 points to award in 3 categories, then we have 240 subjective points to award. So it'd be about 2/3rds subjective, and 1/3rd objective.

If people want to balance the two we could instead have each player give 6 points for each category. So it'd be 144 total, and more in line with the objective points.

So that is a possibility. However some people seem to want more objective points, and others want more subjective points.

I really do think my plan is the best of all worlds.

I think everyone has confirmed so far.

I don't know if this is correct, but Cyber you can't make it NEXT WEEK right?

I am not able to sub this week. I am hosting ladder tourneys for the clan championships.

And neither can i.

Ok, I can't make it this friday, as it is my wife's birthday on sunday and the celebration is to be held on friday. Sorry.
I've sent Prussia a PM but gotten no reply as of yet, but I've seen his posts so it looks like he's around. I hope he can do it on friday since I've just read Nolan is out of the picture. If you're reading this (Prussia) please let me know.

Thanks.

Alright, so next week we're going to need two subs?

I'm pretty sure Prussia is going to sub for you Nico. But I'll try and confirm this (hopefully he confirms it here) and then we can start making arrangements for next week's session. Two subs may be difficult to achieve, but we'll see.

Perhaps we can get some of those who will be in HOTW 7, especially the new people, to sub for Cyber and Oz?

[Frank Johnson]

Actually I hope we can finish it this week.

I got a new assignment at work and its going to eat my weekends alive.

[OzzyKP]

I think that's a little optomistic....

Unless you plan to just start invading everyone until everyone gets frustrated and quits and the game finishes early because of it. ..........

[Robert]

How many people must be absent to let us skip a weekend?

[OzzyKP]

3-4 i think

[OzzyKP]

Since we have played with people absent before, multiple people even (2 subs tonight) I am not going to request that we postpone next week. However since some really big things are going down, and next session is very likely the last session of the game it would be awesome if we postponed a week.

[Robert]

Frank, Ozzy and me are absent at least, most probably LzPrst as well. That's a lot.
I'm not sure if we can find a timeframe when Frank can play. Perhaps saturday evening? Frank, when can you play? At least for that last session?

[The Capo]

Well, I would first like to say that it wouldn't be fair to have Frank choose when he can play, especially considering not all of us can just play at any given time. We should try and, if possible, get it to be around the same time as usual, perhaps we would have to shorten the session by an hour or so just so we can accomodate him. I mean we played an extra half hour and probably would have continued last night.

Which seems to be the case lately... why is it that when Cybershy is doing well we continue to play and when he isn't doing as well he's tired?

Seems a little bit coincidental to me...

But seriously, I think Frank told me last night that he won't be able to start until 8pm his time, which is two and a half hours later than normal, which wouldn't really help us out. We need to figure out a day we can get everyone involved, fortunately we have two weeks to do that this time.

[Frank Johnson]

Assuming I'm still -6 from GMT, I'll be working Friday 10pm - 2am on fridays, 4pm - 1am saturdays, and 6pm - 10pm on sundays.

During the week I'm open. Looks like we'd only need 1 special session to finish the game.

[deity]

I'm OK with fitting in for the last session at anytime it suits.

It's imperative we have all the key players to witness ozzy's historic victory
