All I wanna say is:
I wanna play!!!

OK, thank you. So now my answer to the question:
Yes!!!!

Whatever the question was. I don't care Just consider I always agree...

Can't imagine who you were referring to...

Come on people... is it really that hard to invent your own tech instead of having a constant tech trade yard sale?

I vote for islands.... no tech trade.

It's not hard, but this is a MP game. I happen to like doing some diplomacy. Allowing tech trades makes for "added venues" of diplomacy. Without it, you are limited to what you can bargain with or for.

Islands is cool for me though.

[Pinchak]

Sorry if my reply sounded condesending to those in favor of tech trade.

It's just that we decided no trade, then people started changing their minds.

Just want to get this baby going.

Personally, I don't like having to rely on others to make sure I'm competative in the tech race. For some people, this helps build important political bonds. I perfer to build those bonds with military pacts.

Two different styles of play, two different options. Neither is right or wrong, just different ways you have to adapt.

I don't know, tech trade seems to reward those who shmooze the most. I see enough of that action in real life.

No offense taken. Just expressing my opinion. I will play however we decide, as a group, what to do.

[dacole]

ok wow this has been more complicated than I thought it would be

I have 11 votes on tech trading so I am still missing one person there and I have several votes on either islands or the box continents maps. My vote is tech trading on islands simply because I want a navel game I don't think the mp continents one will give us that.

Votes as the stand now:

Proviisori - no tech
roth - no tech
F-Phack - no tech
Pin - no tech islands
snoopy - tech trading
Andy - no tech islands
Beta - tech trading islands
Dacole - tech trading islands
Big Free - tech trading islands
Mr Boo - tech trading islands
Aro - islands no tech trading

No tech six tech trading five

seven votes for islands Proviisori, roth, F-Phack and snoopy I need your votes for map. Also who have I not heard from?

I will be making some maps and looking at them to decide if I want 1 or more large islands per person will come down to how evenly divided the extra large islands are and how much sea space is left.

[proviisori]

islands... there.. majority has spoken

[Pinchak]

No tech trade.... majority spoken again.

[Rhothaerill]

Islands. I'm in the majority too. Now let's get this going...

[mrboo123]

Are we a new save? If so, could I switch my leader to Hatshepsut?

If we going to use the same save from before all this started, then I'm fine with my 1st pick.

[sabrewolf]

i never voted because the majority (6) had already been found.

had i voted, i'd be the only person for option B, trade only what you researched yourself....

map form, also decided, islands is fine for me...

[Ephack]

As I said before, I will now only answer to the email giving me the password of the game. For the rest, the majority has already spoken.

So you have already broken your own rule.

And when you say the majority has spoken, which part are you dealing with?

Shouldn't be a problem. Egypt was randomly assigned - but you get to pick the leader. As did Rome.
