Are you sure it isn't more of an acute injustice? Or should he have been more circumflex about it all??

[St Jon]

Considering St Jon to be honest would be a grave mistake.

You do me a grave injustice sir, I demand pistols at dawn!

'Tis best. I have only been able to make one fairly meaningless post as there's not a lot to be said about uninhabited jungles and the odd lion or two.

You have, of course, if we consider you to be honest, just revealed something about your location.

Ok, a vote at the end of October is a good idea.

[Robert]

I named the story thread "September/October" for the reasons The Priest named.

[DNK]

I have no clue how to vote on roleplaying this early into the game. Agreed.

Also agree that the story thread needs more.

I don't know, the T4 players at least have been pretty active in creative terms. At least in the metric they should score pretty highly this round, I think.

But since I don't think we should vote on roleplaying, then voting in general should be held off.

[The Priest]

Do we vote at the end of this month or not? Best to decide before we hit the month end.

I suggest not, because:

1. We only started half way through the month.
2. Our voting criteria are quite demanding - particularly role playing - we need some time to have a chance to develop national personalities.
3. When you look at the story thread, there is some great stuff, but unsurprisingly its pretty limited and some haven't posted at all or anything more than a first hello.
4. When we discussed the tiers the point was made that some nations will start with more immediate neighbours that others, and thus it might be hard initially for the tier 3/4 nations to engage in as much interaction as those in europe; in response it was suggested that we could not vote in the first month.

Against, of course, is the fact that some have put work into storying the last two weeks, perhaps thinking that there would be a first half-month vote although of course their work will be included in the next vote.

Those are my thoughts. Best we have a clear decision soon though.

In the diplogame, History of the World 2, there was an Israel civ. Of course that was back in Civ2 when civs were generic.

Yeah, and it was hard to tell them apart in their black and white wrappers...

[St Jon]

Funny that there has never been an Israelite Civilisation.

There is an option "choose religions" which when checked allows the user to choose which religion to found when research a tech that gives a religion. SO if you discover Meditation first, you are given the possibility to choose any religion you desire. In the case with Saladin on Earth map, it is nice support for the story-line of arabs actually being muslims.

[Native America (DoE)]

How the HELL has Saladin founded Islam already??????????????????????????????????????


Oh, wait, if you research a tech that unlocks a specific religion in the game, do you get to choose which religion it is? Is that true of MP or is that by modification?

[Robert]

I'm sorry guys for being totally absent here for now.
The launch of civ5 draws all my attention, having to upgrade and improve Apolyton.
I'll be back though!
