    Great minds and all that. I just voiced the same sentiments in anothet thread. But this would clarify things.

    I think 3 human factions this first multiplayer SMAC/X Pbem DG

      Went for three. It'll be easier if we start to lose people. Although when the first team is killed, it will create quite a rivalry

              I'm going to break the mold and go for four, simply because I think we'd get much more diplomacy and political intrigue that way.

                I went with three to make sure we had enough people. While more politics would be good, it won't do us much good if we have teams with only thee or four players (which might happen if people start dropping out).

                  While I would prefer four factions for the extra politics, I went for three out of necessity: having enough participators.

                    I think if we do go with 3, we need a repoll of the top factions (the ones that would have been played had the game consisted of 4 playables) just because voting wasn't clear originally if we were going to play 3 or 4...

                      Perhaps we can have three factions and Flameflash plays the Pirates??

                      /me shrugs at Flameflash

                      Worth a try, eh?

                        3, out of necessity. Four would be more interesting, though.

                          Voted four.

                          I do think we will have enough participants. Polls had more than 20 voters during the last week, and newcomers will surely make up for the people that leave (although I can´t imagine why anybody should leave...)

                            Thanks, but if the majority don't want 4, I'll join up with the Hive and hope for Pirates to be playable in round 3.

                              Can I still change my vote from three to four? It seems there is a strong core of Pirate players (stronger than Cybernetic players in any case), so if they really want to play, why refuse them if only a small majority is against them?
