Vanilla Democracy Game: are you interested?

[Aro]

Well, we need a traditional Democracy game, IMO. Are you interested in play such game? We can make it a PTW game or not, we can pick any level, map, climate, civ... that will be your choice. The important thing here is that: it's a vanilla game. No mods.
Please, post here if you like to be part of it. And comment, please...

Btw, we have other games being organized. We're thinking about some mods and a new structure for the game. See this thread .

Im interested. But can only choose one demogame.

I'm in! But there seems to be some lack of coordination here. There are great ideas floating around, but I fear not all of them will have enough support for the number of separate forums needed. Thus I propose the following. We have new citizen sign-up threads. One for a traditional Single Player Demo game as is this one. This will hopefully bring in all those who are lurking and would join, and firm up the idea in peoples' heads that there is actually a start to this game in mind. Moreover, it should make the news section, so more will see it. This game will eventually use this forum. No need to decide yet on what game exactly we will use, we could leave that until when we have enough direct attention here, because, as it is, it seems to me that it may be difficult to decide with so many dipping in every now and again.

A second sign-up thread needs to be made for something different in a demogame, for example the City-States. That way at the very least we can get a new forum (hopefully!) and thus separate the two ideas, the traditional Civ3 Demogame, and the new form of the game. This would certainly help ME keep track of which threads are for which game.

At the very least, this would determine whether we have enough interest for both games, in which case we would need separate forums. There seems to be no easier way of convincing an Admin of the need for a new forum like a sign-up thread, and since a new forum would help the City States idea separate itself from the trad-SPDG, we should try this.

So, what do you say? As the Term X President, as soon as I get mod powers again I would like to set up such new sign-up threads, if I get somee positive feedback on the idea here, from all of you....

Ok, I tend to agree that we need a vanilla PTW DG to keep new people comming. However, I also have to agree with Unortho about only joing one SPDG. I am not really interested in another normal SPDG. I think this leaves us with only one viable option.

Start a new vanilla PTW SPDG and humbly ask Markos for a sub-forum for an advanced game (the citystate or DyP).

Aro has described vanilla PTW SPDG as High School level civing. And he described DyP, AU mod and Citystate games as College level civing. Now while I feel that if we try all of these college level games we would just run out of time and they would all die. With this in mind, I think that we can only have one sub-forum or College game going on at once. Why don't we skip a college level game and go straight for a Doctorate? Do a Citystate DyP game on either Emperor or Diety?

I was meaning I would have to choose either the vanilla or the citystate game with my limited time.

I also agree we would need to seperate sign ups to show the gOdZ there is enough interest for them to create a seperate forum.

PM to MarkG sent. Hopefully I will get the spellZ soon and will hear his views on the potential new game. When I get his reply we can start drumming up interest for the new game(s) with a newZ update or ten.

We should also send ambassadors out to all the other sites inviting them to our (hopefully) victory chat this weekend once a time is settled.

Nice idea, UnOrthOdOx.

[Aro]

Back to vanilla game... There's an idea about handicap ourselves a bit, to make it more a challenge. We can make this choosing a weak civ (Aidun's idea, IIRC), or playing Deity.
Comments?

As Governor of Old Germany (Upper and Lower), I think this avatar is appropriate...

[Aidun]

Very well UnOrthOdOx and MWIA.

Aidun. PS, how did you create that avatar? I'm the only member of the Government without it...

I'd like to have such an avatar too
