PTWDG II: Team Tabemono Banquet Hall

[Beta]

Team Tabemono - its two traits are culinary and non-industrious.

Culinary - a minus 1 on food production on all cities as certain food stuffs are pitched aside as not being worthy of the team's table ..("hey - ain't that a banana in the garbage there, says Beta as he disapperas into the garbage bin...")

Non-Industrious - all workers work at half speed because of the 4 large meals eaten every day. Also - workers are required for pollution control duty as far back as ancient times to clean up the ...er... mess made by workers who have over eaten. ("hey - can I have that big chunk there - says Calc as he climbs back up into the tree with his treasure...")

I don't think that 'culinary' would be a good trait for this obese team. They sound more like a bunch of human waste disposers to me than a group of connoisseurs.

I totally agree with non-industrious though

Yes, but you forgot our other trates....

Amazing feets - when hunger drives a man, amazing things can happen. All units start out as elite. Notible Cheafs (Great Leaders) are known to appear 3 or 4 at a time, often having cook offs or other competitions.

Girth - Because of out amazing girth, and the extraordinary strenght required to move around, all units start with 10 hit points.

Amazing Growth - Due to our culinary excelence, our cities start off with a resturant (grainery). Also, due to people imigrating to our nation to experience the fine food, our population grows two points each time.

Creativity - because we are always experimenting with new ways to cook and prepare different foods, our overall science rate is 3 or 4 times that of any other civ.

Greed and Trading mentality - Although greedy by nature and not wanting to share recipies, in order to transport the raw cooking materials our society has developed a complex system of barter. Our civ suffers a - 1 gpt income per population (the burden of supporting so many mouths) but when dealing with other civs we find their methods of trading so simplistic that we automatically get the best deal possible. Often, other teams give us items for no charge at all due to the masterfull way we trade and barter.

Heheh, I like the sound of all of those, GodKing. And once our Iron Chef UU starts making mincemeat of anything and anyone, people will understand we take our food very seriously.

when I studied Japanese, once we had to make teams for a quiz.
we chose food vocabulary and our restaurant was the "neko han ten" where the most delicious food was served.

and I found this pic and added to our team logo
and when I saw the name of your team I remembered this pic

[ZargonX]

I like it, Zcylen! We look all cute and adorable, but you know lurking underneath is one hungry son-of-a-*****

[GodKing]

ZargonX, you are our leader and founder, right? So, when is this game gonna start?

[UnOrthOdOx]

I figured may as well post this here as well for those who may not have made it over to MZO.

We need the following info (here are Zargon's suggestions)

Team Name: Team Tabemono
Civ Name: Tabe-jin (it means "food person")
Team Civ: France
Team Color: hmm... that's a toughie... Roman "bloody meat" red?
Civ Leader: Chairman Kaga?
Leader Title: the Voracious
Civ Adj: Hungry (Hungry archers are storming our city!)

What do you guys suggest?

I argue for Orange as a color because studies have shown it increases hunger, (which is why allot of fast food trays are orange...) therefore making the other teams hungry upon seeing our armies and give up for a chance to join in our buffets.

[Kloreep]

I vote for Bab Blue, on the principle that it's the best color in the game.

[ZargonX]

Ah, thanks for transfering all that info over from MZO, UnOrthO! I do like the idea of the orange color inspiring hunger As for Bab Blue, well, if you can explain how it relates to eating Kloreep, maybe we can think about it!

[GodKing]

FOOD FOOD FOOD.... I am gonna go and eat dinner now, perhaps some spam?

BTW, I am curious, are we now on MZO or over here?
