Where is the new Civ Groups for this?

Has anyone made a Icon for it (GF??)?

As long as it isn't a Banana !

Welcome gentlemen!

Mr Mayor - the group is at the top of thsi thread. Just click on it to join. It is not a closed team/forum as of yet, so no permission, per se, is required.

[Mr Mayor]

In a month or two when the game starts will uneed members be booted if they joined in the early stages of the development?

Btw what other teams are we aware of that are in on this interdemo game?

Mr Mayor - now, I know that newfies speak a somewhat strange dialect, but can you please re-state your question so it is clearer. I think you are asking if un-needed (not sure the definition of that - theoretically, any more than one is 'un-needed') players will be booted.

I don't think the intent is to boot anyone who is a legit member of Apolyton and this team. I am keeping my eyes open - as no doubt are the others - for 'suspicious' members.

By the time the game starts, there will be a closed forum, with myself or someone else having the ability to authorize folks for the closed forum. It will be similar to the ptw-demo game. Anybody can 'join' a team and get the icon - but unless they are authorized, they can't access the closed forum and do or read anything.

Anyways - I think that is what you were asking. Hope I have answered it.

As to the other question - there are currently 3 other civ sites on board - 1BC, CDG, and Civ Fanatics. There is also a French team confirmed. We are waiting on a possible German team, and maybe a Spanish one.

So this will be a game of PtW much like the current Democracy game going, but with more out-of-site-ers? I have never PBEMed, so can someone tell me how much longer this will take than the PtW demo game currently going?

I ah, know that I am showing interest quite late in the day, but I hope I don't need to show any credentials to prove my non-DLness and my chauvinism for Apolytonia (French use of chauvinism - strangely can't think of English equivalent)

For being so 'chaotic' as the PTW DG is, it's moving rather quickly. I anticipate the inter-site DG will go much slower...

[Tiberius]

... or not. If we agree with the other teams on a timetable and max. turn delays (like in the PtW Demo game; for ex. one day, 2 days or so) it will go fast enough.

I am concerned about spies as well. Because some posters may post at both places. I post at several forums although not this one we plan on competing against. Is there any way to see if a member of our team is also a member of their team?

[GeneralTacticus]

Search the other forums for duplicate names and/or email addresses, for a start.

[Donegeal]

I hate the thought of spies as well. I think once a private forum is set up, DO NOT let everyone who signed up for the game in. Only let people who have atained the rank of King and up initially letting people of lesser rank (Prince and lower) in on a case by case poll of people who are already in.

[GeneralTacticus]

Why should people be let in based on an arbitary standard of posts? It would be entirely possible for others to be both long-time members here and also members of another team.

If this is going to happen you can count me out.

[Donegeal]

I'm just trying to come up with some form of security. If we let anybody and everybody in, it would compromise the entire game.

Its just a suggestion. Would you care to make a suggestion of your own?

[FrustratedPoet]

The problem I have is that your system determines somebody's honesty by looking at their post count.

What you are implying is that somebody with more than 1000 posts can be trusted not to cheat, but somebody with less than 1000 needs is less honest and needs to go through an approval process. (/edit: I realise that you are a Prince yourself, and so didn't actually mean to discriminate like this, but this is nevertheless the effect of the system.)

It'd be much fairer to have either:
a) no approval process whatsoever - this has a big risk of being exploited by cheaters.
b) an approval process for everybody, regardless of post count - obviously one person (Markos? Betahound? I dunno...) needs to pick the first person to be approved and we can go from there.

OK, I have read through this whole thread and it looks interesting. It seems to me that most people intend to run for executive positions, which might result in a somewhat low numbers of ordinary citizens...

So, count me in, please - though I will join the ranks of those that will mostly read and vote only... running one demogame team is more than enough for a mortal...
