The "While we are waiting" game

[Snowflake]

What happened?

Oh this is the while we are waiting game thread.

[AndiD]

If the real thing is about to start and interest here is fading, how about making this an ordinary PBEM?

Every faction may choose someone to take over and if noone is interested for a faction, we could simply call for a replacement in "Multiplaying". No member of faction X may take over for faction Y though.

Or would this still give away too many secrets?

I would volunteer for taking Morgan, I need more practice...

[FlameFlash]

I agree as far as probably needing to convert it to a PBEM. Should there be a poll, and if so, please link it to this thread when it's posted...

[FlameFlash]

here's that poll I was asking for...

Just thought I might as well take the initiative...

Make it a Mass Melee PBEM.
Anyone can play any turn.
That way we're not stuck waiting on the waiting game.

[jtsisyoda]

Go ahead and play any turns you want, AndiD. I thought the idea was whoever got to it first would play it and post it.

[Enigma_Nova]

Are the PWs open knowledge?

[AndiD]

Playing just a turn isn't a problem but everyone who has played quite a few turns yet has his own strategic view on the situation. Someone having played just one turn (like me) has nearly none.

And I wouldn't develop a in-depth strategy for growth etc. for my play when I won't be the only one playing and there is no discussion about strategy with the other players (we should leave that for the "real" thing).

Apart from that, I looked for a long-term solution since I doubt that smaller factions would have people just stepping in.

[Enigma_Nova]

and the PWs?

[AndiD]

Every faction knows its own PW so if someone outside a faction continues the respective faction has to tell him the PW (or can PWs be altered after game start?)

[Enigma_Nova]

Angels changed their pass.
I guess I'll try both!

[AndiD]

2115 to Sparta.

Okay, after one exam today I finally have found time to play ahead... any Spartan candidate recruit ready to continue this as a business simulation training exercise?

Anyway, have fun...

Yeah, I guess we're still waiting for the first turn.
