[Master Zen]

Sounds like SMAC Togas, but very good ideas

Count me in for Team Sunshine, this warmonger now switches sides and spreads the looooooovee.....

Feel free to form a team on your own lines of thought.

However, do you seek to fit us with the straight-jacket of your own views?

I have proposed, not imposed. If you guys want to keep playing as GS go ahead, no one is stopping you. From what I hear of the other GS members who have posted in this thread, they would actually be willing to join other teams just for the fun of it. If everyone was so "tightly knit" we would still be hanging out with our grade school friends, now wouldn't that be boring...

Anyways, I am not trying to fuel a discussion as this is not in the spirit of the game. If this game is set up, people are free to do as they wish.

Since I see that I am not welcome to a degree of insults and personal attacks, and have tight time issues anyway, I leave this game out.

Togas,

There is no need for insults. NYE (and anyone of like mind) should be free to stay with whatever teammates if they want. Just as others are free to mix it up as much as they'd like.

If you do feel the need to insult anyone, please at least have the decency to qualify your post as to who are are addressing. There are 25 people on GS, and your post was a personal attack on every one of us, whether you intended it to sound that way or not.

GF: does that mean you sign up?

Of course, I've been working on this for over a month.

I can't say for sure who NYE is speaking for when he says "us", but it is implied that he is speaking for his team, GS, in his previous post.

I am glad to see that there are members of the team that aren't as cliquish and are open to perhaps playing a game with the rest of us mere mortals. To those of you who are different, I do apologize.

But saying my post is a "Personal attack on every one of us"...? By saying GS was "egotistical and cliquish?" Oh, please ... get off your high horse and try to get a thicker skin. For a team that likes to brag and boast and dish out the insults , you guys should expect for a little criticism and some disrespect.

Well, the way I've been understanding this particular game is that it's supposed to be small and fun. In that aspect, I would think that theme teams are the best, so that the goal is not so much playing the game brilliantly, but playing the game to fufill your team's stated mission. i.e., Team Sunshine obviously wants to be kind and friendly, which will probably mean sacrificing certain cut-throat tactics.

So, in the spirit of things, allow me to introduce Team Tabemono: The Food Team!

-It is the belief of Team Tabemono that the pinnicle of importance in the world is food: both the acquesition and consumption thereof.
-Team Tabemono will do everything and anything within its power to obtain items of food. Wheat, Wines, Fish, and the most glorious of meats, Cattle.
-Team Tabemono's government structure shall be based on the most sacred of documents, the Food Pyramid.
-No citizen of Team Tabemono shall ever go hungry.

That's all for now, I'm still putting together some of the other doctrines. Sign up today!

If I can know of my starting position in advance, I would love to start "Team Monkey".

Another game?

Don't get me wrong. I think the idea is good, but Demo Games (at least in my case) take a great amount of time. I'm still trying to organize myself to be able to attend two games at the same time (unfortunately for ISDG, RP gets almost all the time) so I don't think I could be able to participate in a third one.

However, a good idea would be to start the second game when we saw that the first is about to finish, because the first turns are a bit boring. And in that second game everyone should be free to choose which team to join (or to stay).

very sensible. this game is months away from completion, no need to be hasty.

[Wooglin]

I would definitely like to get more involved and participate in PTWDGII.

I can't say for sure who NYE is speaking for when he says "us", but it is implied that he is speaking for his team, GS, in his previous post.

It was readily apparent prior to your post that at least some of us didn't feel the same way.

I am glad to see that there are members of the team that aren't as cliquish and are open to perhaps playing a game with the rest of us mere mortals. To those of you who are different, I do apologize.

See, much better! You are addressing me directly. (my skin is sufficiently thick, don't worry about me... I'm mainly here to argue about stuff)

Please explain about how calling us egotistical and cliquish is not a personal attack though?

For a team that likes to brag and boast and dish out the insults , you guys should expect for a little criticism and some disrespect.

So you apologized for calling us egotistical and cliquish, and then follow it right up by insinuating we are braggarts? Once again you are digressing into broad stereotypical strokes that target the whole of our team. At least for a few sentences you were able to specify a target... (I tend to make a good one!)

I think the trash talking between GS and Vox has been rather friendly. The 'boasts' on both sides are all in good fun, and I haven't heard anyone from Vox complain. I certainly don't consider any of what Vox has said as insulting, and hope they feel the same way.

Stop fighting people, do you know what you guys need?

Yes, join the Sunshine Team and spread a little bit o' lovin' and peace. Life is short so why not enjoy it!!

If my GoW teammates saw me say this they'd kill me...

A good square meal, that's what they need! So sign up for Team Tabemono, and get your eat on!
