Elective Positions and Division of Authority once we have Republic.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Actually we might be considered to be one of the least successful teams because of our score. Our score is extremely low because we haven't built temples and thus we don't have a lot of land area in our culture zone.

Low tiles in our cultural control and low accumulated culture points result in a deflated total score.

[Donegeal]

bah! Let them think they are doing better than us. If they think they are doing better watch what happends if they come for us. We'd squish any one nation that fought us and we would be able to pull off a draw against three teams at once. We have done EXCELLENT!!!

Team MP games are not won by score but rather by who kicks the most butt and who is able to manipulate situations to his whim.

In this regard we are doing well. Once I joined this team I realized that our gameplay was ideal for this type of Demo Game. Dealing with human AI teams is a whole new ballgame and you need to apply real-life skills to this in negotiation and planning ahead. If we can continue to hold this edge we will win.

The "other" great team IMO, GS, might have the best stategists around, but if they don't have the best diplomats they stand no chance. Realpolitik is the order of the day here.

Panzer32:

I think the structure is alright

[UnOrthOdOx]

Looks good Panzer...

So, who do I need to bribe to get those two cities on the island....?

Oh no you don't! I was wanting those so I could revolt and form my own rebel kingdom.

Seriously, we need to come up with a system to dish out the cities.

[Donegeal]

I originally put that the Leader (whatever we call him) would get to pick who got what city based on requests, but is gone now. It was part of the feudal system I set up. Since the leader got to pick who got what city, bribes and allegencies could be formed with the leader. Who ever gave him the best deal would get the city they choose. In this case, it would prove "its good to be the King!"

If we are going to start dividing up cities, why don't we just say what city we want and if there is conflicts, we sort them out as we go (rock paper scissors comes to mind again).

EDIT- If we were to choose, I would want "Donegeal's Dreadlands". Truffells would be my second choice (I would need to rename it).

[Master Zen]

Hey, if anything those oriental-sounding cities should belong to the oriental-sounding team member, ME

Seriously, I'll take any city, as long as its in a hill, has forests around it so I can build my massive pagoda-temple-fortress. I'll call it the HOUSE OF ZEN. (of if it's close to the lands of Lux it'll be the HOUSE OF ZIN where i'll be the pimp daddy of Luxian whores )

Perhaps we can play rock/paper/scissors in the chat room to pick the cities

Oh yeah?

Well at least I have Oriental philosophy stuck in my sig! And, and, my avatar is meditating...so there.

Im really not that picky either. I believe Uber is quite interested in obtaining cities once we start this too.

[Master Zen]

Meditating? I thought he was...ummm... relieving himself...

BTW, UnOrthO, I loved your old Brain avatar, made you more sinister-looking

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Yes, for some reason the Brain avatar seemed to fit my image of you.

[UnOrthOdOx]

The Brain does indeed fit, probably most people here:

"What are we going to do tomorrow night...."

[Hot_Enamel]

Still waiting for my avatar

[Panzer32]

OK, we agree that the structure is good. Now for the titles.

Do we want the original (Emperor, Kings, Lords); or something else. I will take suggestions, and then put it to a poll.
