New Multiplayer Game - Peace in Our Time

[Barinthus]

Yes for CMN

[Cosmic]

People paid a lot of money for me one year before this subject, so I´m changing my mind and now my vote is YES!


3.7th player:
Cosmic - $ YES $
binTravkin - Yes, if one shows up soon
DataAeolus - Yes if he doesn't mind 6 facs ganging up on him
Shawnmcc - No
Makahlua - ?
Mart7x5 - Yes, or 6 facs+no AI

So I think we locked this also eh? If someone wants to be the seventh guest, take your seat too!

Now that we talked about it, since we will solve ALL problems using diplomacy, bribe is perfect usable. Sirs, bring your suitcases!

Poll table edited..

Mart7x5 and Makahlua, we need you votes!

Chaunk youre in!
Your votes welcome too!

[Chaunk]

Cool-age Votes below.

1.Pacts allowed:
Cosmic - No
binTravkin - Yes
DataAeolus - No
Shawnmcc - No
Makahlua - ?
Mart7x5 - ?
Chaunk - I presumed this meant with other teams, in which case, Yes. Otherwise, the empath Guild is hopelessly overpowered with no probing allowed

2.Angels in:
Cosmic - No
binTravkin - Yes
DataAeolus - Yes
Shawnmcc - Yes
Makahlua - ?
Mart7x5 - ?
Chaunk - If someone wants them

2a.The Planetary Datalinks:
Cosmic - N/A
binTravkin - Any Fac/PKs if we're 7
DataAeolus - Any Fac
Shawnmcc - Angels (? have I understood you Shawn?)
Makahlua - ?
Mart7x5 - ?
Chaunk - no particullar preference. If we have it in, it may make some people change their beelines for it, which might mean they miss other more important techs. It's six to one, half a dozen to the other.

3. N/A

4.Do we need a CMN?:
Cosmic - ?
binTravkin - Yes, I changed my mind
DataAeolus - Yes
Shawnmcc - Yes
Makahlua - ?
Mart7x5 - ?
Chaunk - Yes

[Cosmic]

Do you guys think a random map is too bad?

And how about the size? I think Normal is fine. We will play in transcend level.

[Mart]

1.Pacts allowed with rival teams:
Yes - this will make game a bit more interesting, but will dilute initial idea of teams

2.Angels in:
Yes - give them a chance...

2a.The Planetary Datalinks:
no opinion, as Cosmic decides

3.7th player:
Mart7x5 - Yes, or 6 facs+no AI

3a.Any AI in-game?:
Mart7x5 - No

4.Do we need a CMN?:
let there be a CMN - i rarely see good maps computer generated

[Mart]

map size, maybe large, or anything between
45x90
and
65x130

[Makahlua]

1.Pacts allowed with rival teams: Yes
2.Angels in: Yes!
2a.The Planetary Datalinks: any team other than the Angels, perhaps?
3.7th player: Why not?
3a.Any AI in-game? Guess we don't need one now
4.Do we need a CMN? Absolutely, I'd say - we -need- a created map because too often the computer does crappy ones (esp if you guys want a smaller size) -and- because a CMN can give us balanced starts.

Looks like I'll be playing the Angels since I keep fighting for them ^^ A question though - does Pacted infiltration count for techshare, or only probed infiltration? (Because if not, that knocks them out of the running, and I'd be going Gaian.)

Sorry for not responding sooner, I was AFK all day! And I'm a she BTW

Something else to think about - yea or nay to the Empath Guild? It was disabled in the AC Demo Game for the fact that having that info on all faction for a human was -too- overpowering. IIRC, Googlie assigned it buit to the native life group to get it out of the way.

[Cosmic]

The Empathy Guild?? Good question.

PEOPLE, LETS GO THE PLANETARY COUNCIL AGAIN!! (I dont know if you perceived, but we already start playing

Yes, I think this Special Project will empower too much any single faction and its team. So my opinion is that we just ignore it.


And about the map, does anyone here have experience in design? HAVE YOU RESEARCHED THE NEEDED TECH??? I can try, but I´m not good doing this.

Hey Maka, you can play with the Angels, no prob. Do as you wish, my lady!

[Mr. Harley]

Why not leave the Empathy Guild in? It means that there is an alternative to the planetary council if you want the infiltration, and it means you have to make hard choices as to which techs/SP's you want. After all, now it's not the just the Human Genome Project, Weather Paradigm, Virtual Word and the Planetary Transit System, with the Merchant Exchange as the afterthought. Adding the Empathy Guild means that there is one more SP for somebody to grab, and that you had better priortize them clearly, especially if we permit no probing at all. The standard opeing of a beeline to Industrial Economics could cause you to lose out on Centauri Empathy. Just a thought.

[binTravkin]

FOR CMN!

So here are the results of poll:

1. Pacts allowed: Yes (4/3)
2. Angels in: Yes (6/1)
2.a The Planetary Datalinks: Any (4-any/2-N/A/1-abstain)
3. 7th Player: Yes (5/1/1)
3. a AI in game: No (7/0)
4. Do we need a CMN?: Yes (6/1)
5. The Empath Guild: Yes (4y/1n/2abst)
6. Mapsize: Large (all agreed to it, some disagree with huge)

--voting is over

Makahlua, techshare is a global setting and works for even non-spotted facs, and it should not be changed!

[binTravkin]

Teams ready!

Teams chosen & ready to go!

Team 1:
Pirates - Cosmic
Angels - Makahlua

Team 2:
University Of Planet - Shawnmcc
Free Drones - Mart7x5

Team 3:
Morgan - binTravkin
Believers - DataAeolus

Team 4:
Peacekeeping Forces - Chunk

If this type of game will become popular, then in our 2nd game maybe we should make a team of 3 players(while having only 2 in others) which consists only of Low-Tech facs: Hive,Believers,Cha Dawn

[Chaunk]

Mapsize: Large/Huge. Preferably huge i think.

EG: Yes.

I'll take the PK's as "Team" 4, unless one of you six wants them instead.

Please note, the solo team doesn't stand much chance, so please don't try and push me off the PK's... thanks!

[Barinthus]

Bigger the map, the better.

Empath - why not.

Fac - I already asked for either believers or the cult. If someone want one, I'll take the other one.

[Mart]

I will play Drones in team with University, already discussed that with Shawn
