The Cuspidore is Recruiting for the Next Game

[johndmuller]

Awwkkk!!!!

Yo Ho Ho Maties! In case you've been wondrin', the Cuspidore's been livin' (if ya could call it that) in the outback on Henry Morgan's Boot Island for some years now - ever since the Borg torched his retirement home at Henry Morgan's Boot Base way back when. Fortunately, the Borg didn't know what we do with the XenoCane and the XenoHemp, so he's had plenty of Grog and 'Rope' - at least enough to hatch a XenoPlan or two.

I for one, had a less than totally fulfillin' experience in the last game - been left wit' a thirst that even all the Xenorum in Tripoli can't quench.

While there were a number of things about the game what were not too much fun, I remember the good old days before things got heavy, and it seems like we've still got a reasonably solid group who've been hanging out despite the warm grog and damp weed here in the outback. Even with all the misfortune, we haven't been tossing our dirks at one another (least not since all those barbs I used to toss at Cap'n Hercules' beknighted terraforming - and he is getting his revenge in AXT056 by sniping at my crawlers and formers).

All this suggests to me that there is a possibility that we could carry this team into the next game pretty much intact, if we so desired.

So here I am banging a pegleg on the mast and trying to sell ya'all on the supposed treasure map I've got right here: .

So what do you say Maties?

[Makahlua]

I'm in This is a good crew here Maybe we can recruit some of the disenchanted?

Are we still going to be pirate scum, or something else scummy? Maybe the Angels - just as subversive, but more, er, 'respectable'

[foolish_icarus]

On land or sea, I'd like to serve with all of you again.

[Trithemius]

I'm in, if this lot will have me?

I'm happy with any choice of Faction, although I tend to prefer Factions like the PKs and the Human Hive...

[FlameFlash]

Ditto to that, foolish.

[Hercules]

Yeah I am back and in. I wouldn't mind giving the pirates another go either. I think we've learnt some things about their strengths and weaknesses.

[FlameFlash]

That's for sure...

[Googlie]

If the next game is a Team DG (and not an SPDG) then I'd like to join one of the teams - Pirates or Angels - or whatever - if you scurvy lot would have me

G.

[foolish_icarus]

I don't see us being exclusive, for my part all are welcome (and I may be going out on a plank just a little here, but I suspect the other captains agree)

[FlameFlash]

Arrr... most certainly ye Great Goog and Foolish, I agree.

If we go with your scenario idea, Great Goog, I think going Angels would be wiser than Pirates (would work better.)

[Makahlua]

Pirates are way behind in the faction poll but the angels are #4 currently. I'm now hoping for 4 SP factions to win so we can excecute some l33t pwn@g3 ^^

[FlameFlash]

Wait... there's another faction poll?

[Trithemius]

There seems to be a movement to mix up the teams from this DG for the next one - how do people feel about this?!

Are most people looking at going with the Data Angels (I was hoping for the PKs, but I've also thought about the Spartans...).

[Hercules]

I also thought about the Spartans but I am put off (I am in 3 MP games as the spartans) this time by the -1 industry and lack of wealth SE option. Nor do they have the best research. To succeed the Spartans do need to a conquer an AI fairly quickly. But I could be convinced if the Data Angels faction doesn't materialise. They too are not awfully strong and I feel they need to find a good pact mate early. But I am just raising it to see how people feel about it. Also it has been mentioned a few times above as a faction some here would be inclined to try.

As you know in the first SP ACDG we played the PKs so that is why they don't figure this time.

I would like some players from the other factions to join us and I suppose we should be open to some Cap'ns joining elsewhere.

[FlameFlash]

Well, I'm looking forward to another shot with all of you in the Angels, personally.
