    If there's to make a difference between BEFORE and IN GAME contact, I agree and will go for the 1st choice as well.
    don't worry about things you have no influence on...

      I strongly feel for #2, and just slow down the tech pace!! It's not hard, and the locked alliance means among other things you don't have to pay for an embassy!!

        MWIA - you are right. It is ok to discuss and pick civs. We have done that already at our end.

        But we have not discussed who researches what tech to start the game. That is all I am talking about. Some choices may be pretty straightforward, if you know what I mean, but all I am recommending/asking is that teams don't discuss it until the civs meet, And that should be fairly soon into the game I imagine.

        So - have you guys figured out what civs you want?
        Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.

          The discussion on what tech to pursue first is part of the civ choice discussion at this end.

            Er, yeah, what McMeadows said. Whilst discussing civs we've been discussing what techs they could get quickly. That's already almost settled.

            So - have you guys figured out what civs you want?
            Yep, I think we have! SOmeone will correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems as if I was the last to decide for certain:

            McMeadows: India
            Paddy the Scot: China
            Aqualung71: Sumeria
            MrWhereItsAt: Persia.
            Consul.

                Ok - then let's acknowledge that tech research has been discussed.

                We should agree, however, that once the game starts, no correspondence or hints on how to find ech other, until contact in-game is made.

                And the Civilized world will consist of:

                Beta - French
                snoopy - Vikings
                con - Celts
                Rhoth - Russians

                (ok - we are little less than civilized. )

                Will get the map done and game started asap.

                That's not your play order. I think it was discussed earlier - but can you please confirm. Thanks.

                  So, if i'm to understand correctly, we may discuss techs (though perhaps not discuss *when* techs are completed, say?) and general strategy (ie, "let's take out the chinese first because they suck ... er... ) but not physical locations on the map (until we meet in-game, at which point we can talk about anything)?

                    Yes - something like that. But it will be hard to talk about taking out the Chinese first before you know where everyone is.

                    • My intent was for all discussions about game stuff (except perhaps asking for links to general strat for your particular civ, which after all has nothing to do with this particular game) to cease as soon as the game started, and not to resume until members had contact with each other. Sound good?

                      • Yes, beta, but I meant that you can discuss what the opponents' likely general strategy will be based on civ choices, etc. ...

                        MWIA, I think that if we've been assumed to have talked about things already, we should still be able to talk about them. But, nothing that's not known should be discussed.

                        IE, we can talk about our scientific strategy (as that's already happened, and no further 'damage' can occur) but can't discuss what science we're actually on; we can discuss the fact that Paddy is evil and should be destroyed, but not discuss the units we're making to that end nor the location of said Evil nor the timing of any attack. Until we meet, anyway.

                        Essentially, discussing things that we could realistically have discussed pre-game can still happen post-start of game, but nothing that occurs after the beginning can be discussed until meet-up.

                        Make sense?

                        Oh, and is it OK for player A who's met both B and C to help the other two players meet up (ie, "Keep moving thataway, or thisaway, or wherever"? I'd think yes, but wanted to check.

                            Nah, that just gives me the runs.

                            You're just an easy target given you're in way too many of my games already

                            • is that right

                              and how many is then a good number

                              and I wonder if we need start a new naval game to replace... ... someone

                              ahh it is all good

                              so are you actually declaring a blood feud between our Nations before we start?

                              is this some thing the the game creator needs to put in the Alliances section???

                              that Snoopy (the Vikings) is at WAR with Paddy (the Chinese)

                              It is not hard to arrange

                              so Snoop, is this what ya saying me old cat ?
