you suck

48 hours my ass, when the turn arrives wes opens a keg of rum. next we examines the turn from left to right and upside down, then we opens another keg of xenorum.

Next we puts thy options on a big board, like Tripoli Chaos submarine versus psi nuke parrot and then we throws the dirks. Then we opens another keg of xenorum.

Some time later, we tots up the scores, then opens another keg of rum and sends message of in bottle, after Maki has emptied it.

So time to play turn: 20 minutes
Time playing Pirate democracy 12 hours
Time for Miami, well what ever it takes. Cuspidore BB knows how to shiver the timbers

And how true this is...

This 8 hour rule is getting hard to keep.

Now you're just being cynical...


Keep up the good work.

I noticed you guys are aparently thinking of starting up another Democracy game. I understand that the current Democracy game is considered to be less fun then the Original (allass nothing ever is as good as the Original, except for Terminator 2).


But Ia bit mystified by this discussion, I though everyone one was stretched to the limits with the current Democracy game and desperate for new people to join and Partispate. How can you be starting yet another Democracy game ontop of your first one? If you think your having trouble keeping the non-Hard core crowd interested in the current Democracy game then this All Aquatic game is definatly going to scare them away. For that matter I would keep the Democracy games in original SMAC, more people own it (The fact that I cant actualy load up and SEE this current democracy game is probably a show stoper for me) and it provides WAY better role playing possibilites then SMACX, people are often enthusiastic and Ideologicaly attached to the original factions (I am for shure) and as you can see the Original factions are generating the most RolePlaying in the current Democracy game.

What I would do is set up a 7 team Original SMAC game, Encourage people to join their favorite faction for purley Role playing purposes. Ofcorse the factions size will fluctuate considerably, some factions might be 1 person but theirs nothing realy wrong with that as they would simply play the game like a normal PBEM.

Just my 2 Cents anyways, this is how it all looks to me as a low level Newbie Lurker.

There was considerable discussion on SMAC v SMAX at the start and indeed on the human factions and AI.

[Maniac]

I disagree with you Impaler.

I can't speak for everyone, but I consider the current team game more fun than the previous ACDG.

But Ia bit mystified by this discussion, I though everyone one was stretched to the limits with the current Democracy game and desperate for new people to join and Partispate.

Again I can't speak for everyone else, but I'm certainly not stretched to the limit. I could deal with all the CyCon affairs myself. However it is more fun to have more members and more opinions. Not because there is too much to do, but because there is too little to do. The reason why some people started suggesting another demo game is because the turn rate of this game is too slow to be constantly active in the private fora.

For that matter I would keep the Democracy games in original SMAC, more people own it (The fact that I cant actualy load up and SEE this current democracy game is probably a show stoper for me)

In the poll deciding whether to go with SMAC or SMAX, there was a large majority for SMAX.

and it provides WAY better role playing possibilites then SMACX, people are often enthusiastic and Ideologicaly attached to the original factions (I am for shure)

Then why are three of the five teams SMAX factions?

and as you can see the Original factions are generating the most RolePlaying in the current Democracy game.

The Hive is generating the most roleplaying. The PUT isn't at all. And the Consciousness, a SMAX faction, is the second most heavy in roleplaying.

It's a pity you don't have SMAX, but the majority has. And since this is a democracy game, the will of the majority needs to be followed. Sorry.

[Nubclear]

Isn't SMAX freely avalible on www.the-underdogs.org?

And yes, I can personally verify that Consciousness is a major RP-exporter.

And I'll agree with you, Maniac.

I'm actually much more involved because I know that my silence has more of a detrimental effect (though minimal still) than it did in the original.

I was wondering why another ACDG was being considered.

I wanted the pirates.

Of course there are some very... unique personalities there.

Blah, support Apolyton! Buy stuff through their Amazon.com links!

I'm inclined to agree with Maniac, though I too enjoyed the first acdg.

Here we experience: regular newsheets from the factions; unprecedented spying scandals, an extraordinary fun element (especially from the newer members), Googlie observations, ahemm, and best of all, the element of risk: some factions may not win, through a misjudged trade, transaction or battle. But the array of Pbem experience, spread across seems acceptable

For example you can hardly fart before Kody has registered it on his factionmagraph, which means we now pipe our excess gases to be diffused through various other outlets.

If you discover a tech now there are mind banks of analysts working on how you managed to do so.

So it appears quiet but I think sometime a outpouring will happen.

[Jamski]

Its only quiet untill someone gets pissed enough to declare vendetta.....

(BTW, I think this is more fun that the last game too)

-Jam

[Corellion]

I'd have to agree... but I didn't play the last game, so I don't think my opinion counts for much.

[Vev]

Although I am still waiting for the council of the planet.

[Kody]

*Jots down a few more notes about other factions.*

I noticed some interesting posting patterns last night.

[Kody]

Well just going to nudge some details.

* Is everyone thinking about what they're going to write for their faction introduction? (IMHO: start with roleplay, then have seperate section telling the new member what to expect)

* Is anyone thinking about what they're going to write for their debate?
