        count me in.

        Hopefully it won't take as much time as DoC.

        few comments:

        I'd prefer random civs

        I think normal speed would be better

        I'm not really fond of terra maps for multiplayer games. I'd prefer a handmade map or a random continents maybe.

        I don't see what is the problem with space race in this kind of game: what are the alternatives? realisticly only culture, though I wouldnt mind if someone would try a domination win.

        Before we start I'd like to see the exact rules we use during wartime, including the rules about double moves-if no rule at all I can accept that, but I don't think it could work.

        I think elimination should be allowed earlier though I think wars should be prohibited in the first x turns (30?). I just hate warrior choke and the chance that your capital could be taken by a wanderinng warrior while your warrior also wanders somewhere looking for huts)

        iI'd like to play w/o huts btw, but I know I'm minority with this

          About posting:


          We should have an in-character topic
          no pressure on posting, but if someone wants they should be able to. Good place to make announcements etc.

          We also should have annon accounts for pms. It works much better than ingame messageing and allows the communication between more than 2 players.

          I'm thinking maybe we should limit alliances somehow, but not sure and no idea how. This is in the non-defined "diplo spirit". we will see how it works in this kind of game.

            Ok guys, game is up.
            server: plomp.eu:2065
            password: none

            random civs, so there are now 10 civs waiting to be picked up.
            Turn timer: http://www.playyourturn.com/?page_id=17&gameID=109 (yes, that's a new type of turntracker! It's anonymous!! and it knows BtS civs!)

            I suggest that everybody picks a civ on a first come first served base.
            But you can't change when you've picked one!!!
            If your start is too awfull, so be it, ok?

            And good players (who?): restrain yourself by picking a civ!
            All have fun, first turn takes 96 hours (=4 days) (or till everybody has picked a civ).

            After that: 10 hours per turn.

            Game name: Doom of the Diplomats

                Game's up again

                @mzprox, if I'm correct we settled the settings/rules.
                double move is being handled in game. (so it's frowned upon but we're not going to make it a dreadful game rule, just everybody restrain yourself to not take advantage)

                If we have a story thread, we also need anonymous id's, etc.
                And the chance that we reveal our identity is large.
                If all want one then I'll obviously want to set one up.
                But we can also use the message system of Play Your Turn (the turn tracker website) to communicate with each other.

                Maybe we can start while we discuss these issues as well.

                  Thanks Cyber!

                  Make sure you put a password on the civ you select so that someone else doesn't double select it.

                  Well set up Cyber.

                  Please can everyone who put their hand up for this game select their (randomly chosen) civ asap...

                  THIS IS A NON POSTING DIPLO STYLE GAME - A simple game with no arbitration as Cyber says.

                  With good diplo players we expect a game with integrity and common sense.

                  Settings are as posted above.

                        Was this map evaluated for fairness by anyone?

                            The playyourturn page says the speed is quick, is that true or false information?

                              it's false, speed is epic.
                              I'll update it.
