  • It's a cool idea, however it puts tremendous stress on teams not consisting solely of students. The 24 hour rule works because mostly everybody can log on once every 24 hours, and be able to voice his opinions on the situation. But only students (and people who get paid to not work ) can log on all 12 hours... it's seriously discriminating people who might be interested.

    Having teams to force having multiple players sounds good, but the rule would also require leaders in each team, or dictators, presidents, or whatever you want to call them. Which means that any democratic team is out of the question. You can't have a decent poll on a subject, if you are to play your turn in less then 5 hours... so all power goes to the leader, the rest of the members are only there to roleplay and advise on general things.

    I don't have any time to join, and thus don't want to critique anything, but that doesn't sound like a good idea to me. I'm happy to play in a team where the opposite is true, even if it means that in times of pressure, turns take the full 24 hours to debate. Consensus based teams can be fun to be part of too, you know

    • I agree with DeepO. If we want this game to be more "fun" the last thing we need to be doing is adding stress to the teams.

        Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
        Then why call him God? - Epicurus

        • Since Team Sunshine seems to be winning all the converts, allow me to turn the tables by introducing the mascot for Team Tabemono, Hamu!

                        That's what I thought; it is the most logical statement for a ham to make!

                        • Team sunshine will be the masters of disservices (not sure that it means what I want it to, looked it up in a dictionary)

                          like building a city in their terriroty close to their capitol:
                          "Oh, I thought you wanted some new neighbours"
                          our way of declaring war...

                          Don't take me too seriously...

                          have a sunshine day
                          And ever after, sun shone upon the land of Sunshinia...

                              quoting the American president:
                              "It´s a war for peace"
                              That´d agree with our policy, wouldn´t it?


                              however, it´d be fun to see Team Sunshine win the game on conquest without going to war once. (that could be possible if we turn off culture victory and take all their cities by cultural conversion)
