Who else can fit in one more game ??

[Earthworm]

I Like the idea that Snoopy and CM are pitching here.

I agree with Snoopy that the Iron civer rules are a little restrictive for the RPG type of game. The restrictions on information that can be passed, would severely limit the amount of story telling that could happen, until much later in the game.

I am still wanting to play, altohugh I think 8 players is going to be a very long game.

Earthworm you are correct this wont be a fast game but we will need to have time to write our story any how, so i dont think it will be a problem

[Earthworm]

So just to clarify, would we all be writing our story in the same thread, as we pass the turn around?

Since I haven't played one of this type, would that restrict the type of things we would want to write about? Like the discovery of minerals nearby?

[OzzyKP]

We would need a seperate story thread, Earth. And as for what we'd want to write about, check the DiploFAQ, in my sig line.

[Modo44]

Im confirmed in, of course.

[OzzyKP]

Also, for anyone interested in playing in Diplogames we do have a Civ-Group. Its the old english D. Please join.

[1889]

With Ozzy's permision then I am in and will play one of these things. Have not decided what Civ I want yet but would like to confirm just what it is we all want to do.

What is the problem with Iron Civer? You want to have communication and share map information with civs that you have not yet encountered or established embassies with? I think that is a terrible idea.

I‘m not convinced that we need a separate story thread. When you send your turn to the next player post a paragraph or two about your nations progress. If nothing happened write something about your peoples way of life or about an important personality. If you want to keep information secret, don’t feel restricted by events. If you are about to make a discovery or a new city you don’t have to write it that turn. Write it earlier or later or fill your post with other soft news.

For the more mundane features:
Standard Map
Restless Barbs
Monarch level

Since we've spent months trying to get the other game going, 1889, I figure we just start over here. But I do want to use the map and settings and such from the other game, so vote thusly in the other thread.

As for a seperate story thread I do think its a good idea. All Diplogames have one thread for out of character talk and one for in character. That way the story flows and doesn't get broken up by a bunch of occ stuff. I'd hate for a great story thread to get bogged down in a string of "save sent to xxxx" posts.

I don't know what Iron Civer is, but I agree that you must meet someone before you can start trading and talking with them in the game. That makes sense.

[1889]

Ozzy probably knows what he's talking about here so a seperate story thread its is.

Other than that this is becoming a complete cluster &*%. What is the other thread for? Snoopy was trying to start a seperate game I thought.

Can every one please stop the links!

[Ljube]

I think we should ask Ming to close all threads except one.

[OzzyKP]

Well I think we've just got one game here, but there are more players for it than it can hold so it'll necessarily spill into two.

I guess the major disagreement so far is whether to play a diplo on a world map or on a random map. Lets just have those who favor the former start one game, and those who favor the later start another. That's a good way to do it.

I vote for the world map game.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

There are two games being planned one here and the other in snoopys thread so no need to close any threads down
