[Hot Mustard]

MarkG mentioned that we can provide short descriptions for our team. (Short descriptions needed )

Members of our team all get to actively take part in history as opposed to just playing a strategy computer game. We're the only civ team that's dedicated to actually playing out our history from the stoneage to the modern age. We are modeling our society and government in the most historical fashion possible, acting out key roles within it while still maintaining enough game "Out of Character" elements to make this team playable and fun for everyone.

...then so did MarkG.

So, we haven't provided a short description yet. Here's a few ideas:

Catchy 1 (52 chars)
“We don’t just play the game – we ROLE play the game.”

Catchy 2 (48 chars)
“Don’t just play the history game, play history.”

Factual (124 chars)
“Our members get additional entertainment out of the game by play-acting characters from our civilization, real or fictional.”

Challenging (68 chars)
“You can be anyone you want – but can you roleplay them convincingly?”

Intriguing (52 chars)
“Who are you, really? Wouldn’t you like to find out?”


OK, these are just meant to trigger others to action - lets hear some more ideas. Do we have a writer amongst us?

I liked the last existensialistic one best...
And I suspect it can lead us into a new age of philosophy!

[History Guy]

Plague Rat-- Yes, or a hell of a lot of confusion.

...and psychadelic drugs.

Remember, no philosophy until philosophy, no music until musical theorem, no national anthem until nationalism...

I can't stress that enough, but you can have all the peyote you want from my cacti when that time comes

[OOC]
when it comes to the description, how about:

(blurring the line between reality and fiction)
"I see your character is a multiple-felon."
"Character?"

(vaguely homophobic)
"Ever wanted to play dress-up? We haven't."

(playing to their patriotism)
"Of course this is a democracy. Now put on the d%#$ mask."

I think the entire description should be in Spanish.

Or written in English with a Spanish accent.

How about this:

Members of our team are dedicated to actually playing out our history from the stoneage to the modern age. We are modeling our society and governments in the most historical fashion possible and everyone on the team plays an important role in our civilization's story.

Might be too long but I think it sums us up pretty well.

268 chars. I suspect MarkG mentioned the character limit because there is one for the field, not because he'd prefer short descriptions.
