Official: What faction do you want to play as? (round two)

[FlameFlash]

Now it's Yang, Pirates, Uni, and Consciousness...

Now I wonder if we'll get enough support for all of those factions to be well populated.

[Drogue]

Personally, I would consider keeping it to three. However, do not take it that only 4 people will join the most populous factions. Remember that there are all those people who voted for factions that won't make it, and thus each of the 4 factions will get more people than just those voting for it. If we start with ~20-25 people, even if a third leave, we still have ~5 per faction. And the Hive only needs one to run. I think it will be fine. And if it isn't, just start an SMAX regular game instead (on Transcend this time).

[Drogue]

If we end up with CyCon, Hive, UoP and Pirates, that could be fun. We have both builder and conquerer factions, both FM and Planned, both Knowledge and Power, both Democracy and Police State. Looks like a good mix, and would be a good game IMHO

How about we have the 4 (or 3) losing factions as computerised opponents? That would give us Morgan, Angels and Gaians/UN. Personally, I'd rather skip Angels and have Spartans against us, but I'm not too fussed about that.

[Jamski]

AMEN brother Drogue - I second this idea for the "runners-up" to be the AI factions. I'd also rather see the Spartans than the Angels against us.

And I'd suggest a poll to determine the AI factions. I seem to like those.

[Drogue]

Suits me either way

I still don't know who to vote for. I want both the Hive and CyCon in it, and UoP will obviously get through. If we have 4, it doesn't really matter which I vote for, however if we decide to only have 3, I don't know who to vote for

[moomin]

Threw in my voice for UoP. Love those guys. I could live with Morgan or the Cyborgs as well.

Now that I got my SMAX cd back, I can probably participate in round two for real. That'll be fun.

[Micha]

I voted Yang!

One for the Hive! The Hive is everything! I am nothing without the Hive!

And I propose myself as Propaganda Director in Yang´s "government" ....

[Hercules]

Looks like I going to be a Pirate. Avast there me hearties

[Drogue]

Voted CyCon. Now we have UoP, CyCon and the Hive as the top three, and the Pirates in 4th

i can't wait that long. how soon can we start sign-ups for factions?

[Drogue]

Methinks we should wait until the poll finishes. We don't know which factions we'll be playing yet.

[Method]

crap, i was afraid you'd say something like that

[Jamski]

I think we can take UoP, Hive, Cycon and Pirates as the four most popular (as they were the whole time this poll's been running)

/me itches to get started too

-Jam

[Drogue]

That is if we want for. I would still advocate taking only 3, since we want to make sure that we have enough people. However I suppose 4 is sensible too.

I think UoP, CyCon and The Hive can bve presumed to be through, but the Angels might get another vote. I think lets leave anything official, but if people want to start organising which faction they want to be in, that would be fine. They'll be plenty of time though, because we have to have another poll after this for which factions to play against. Is it possible to randomise which factions we are against? I think not knowing could be quite fun. You never know who you'll meet
