[FlameFlash]

Not everybody has SMAX though

[Kassiopeia]

I don't think I'll be able to participate in a PBEM version of the game, at least in the beginning

[FlameFlash]

Why not Kass?

[Method]

anyways, this seems like the appropriate place to post this ATM....

what does everyone think of archiving this entire forum once we start our new game? on the one hand, we wouldn't have so much clutter or old threads in the way, but then again, we couldn't bump old threads or keep old conversations going in, say, the CCCP thread for example. and did they do this with the old C2DGs?

[GeneralTacticus]

They haven't done it (yet, anyway) with the Civ III DG.

And just a suggestion regarding what format - would it be feasible to do a PBEM DG and a regular one?

[Drogue]

I would think no to doing both, it would be hard to keep track of, much work, and people will get confused between the two, IMHO. However, I am all for archiving. We can create a new CCCP thread, and such like, and it will be a chance to start a fresh, which would also be good for people coming in new, and not knowing the old DG.

Re Two games in parallel. I am open minded on this. It would be a lot of work.

The regular DG could act as a central meeting place because with the team DG most of the discussion would be in private groups, maybe even different chat sites. The regular DG could also act as a recruiting ground for new players.

Even if we only play team SMAXDG surely there will the need for a neutral/ gossipy venue to lend some sense of cohesion. Also a neutral place to advise and inform new recruits about the situation. I see a big role here for our media outlets.

Re Archiving. There is a tremendous amount of good stuff there and some great discussions but not all of it needs archived.

I mean we don't need to archive all the polls or turnchat logs or Gov orders.

Two games in parallel... I know I'd only be able to participate in one... and the PBEM one would be easier to participate in.

[Method]

well, much as a PBEM game would be fun, i don't think we'd have enough people, and it'd just turn into a regular PBEM

[FlameFlash]

I kinda doubt it... but it might if too many people got lazy and just let one person run each show...

[Method]

well, consider how many people we have now. 15 here said they'd play again. even if we managed to get 15 people, there's 7 teams of 2 people (which wouldn't be Demo Game-ish. not by a long shot), or 3 teams of 5. that *might* work, but how good would it be with only 3 teams? also, of those 15 people, how many do you expect to be active?

sure, i'd love to play a PBEM game, i'm just worried about numbers, that's all

[ColdWizard]

and if it's a smax game i (probably) won't be able to play

[Jamski]

We could play with two teams perhaps? One Green team, and one FM
Could be worth considering??
