PtW Demo Game: Teams or Multi-Site?

[jdd2007]

we should do intra-site team games for a while before starting the inter-site democracy games. so really, both.

Like I said in the PTW members thread, do small poly teams to practice on untill the MSDG comes around. With maps no bigger then regular and several different teams, we would just use the honor system umongst oursleves to stay out of each others forums. After the game is complete, or we figure out who would eventualy win, we stop and discuss the hows and whys of what happened. Use this as a tool to ensure our dominance in a future MSDG.

Oh, yeah... NO CFC or other site (if possible) cause I don't want them benifiting from our work...

[Sheik]

It should be against Civ Fanatics. And if they are dont want to play right now then we should do a team thing until they are ready.

[Randolph]

Whops, guess I need to be a bit more carefull...

Though I’m sure with sufficient taunting they’ll come around

Teams within Apolyton. It'd be kinda fun to team up and play against each other.

[GodKing]

Both.

In house first, then against all the others once we have some practice.

breaking up into team would be cool for the sake of learning how playing other humans will affect the game, sort of give us a basis for making decisions in the multi-site games.
But maybe we should do it while prepping for the multi-site game and begin the true multi-site as soon as preparations are made.
Regardless, security issues should be addressed soon.

Eigther 2 human civs or lots of human civs2 because http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=51378 mentions alot of MP cheats. According to http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=65620 there is a limit to 8 civs (AI and human) in MP games.

A multi site game without CivFanatics would not be very fun- as they are the other great 'civ power'. Besides, no one knows the dinamics of human vs human, and how we set this game up might influence how the multi-site game is set up- specially concerning rules about info sharing, or not.

Let's do it in-house first, and see what happens.
After that I'll be more then happy to CFC and others

ehm: I might have mentioned this before on (several) other occassions, but if possible make it continent versus continent.
If off-course there are enough players from both(all) sides. This would IMO spice things up a bit IMHO

[Inverse Icarus]

i like smaller groups (10-15 people).

it may not be fair to the less known people, but it'll make everything easier.

we'd need private forums / chatroms on poly's server though

[realpolitic]

A Multi-site game sounds like fun. It gives us extra incentive to hone our skills, even when were way ahead.

We already made a start about organizing a intersite DG for PTW by making a board where all the sites can debate and discuss an intersite game. We named it the UN council for appointed representatives and the UN open forum . Everyone should be able to post on the open forum even without a 1BC membership. We have five nations with diplomats:

-Apolytonia
-Fanatika
-Demogyptica
-The Bengal Republic
-The Community

Let me know if your interested in getting it organized. From the reactions we got, all sites are interested in an intersite game.

Multi-site.

If we do teams, we'll have what, at most twenty members for teams? Where does that leave Demogamers who don't plan on buying the game but want to participate? With only twenty per team, their limited role would almost be a burdon on their team. I'd rather start off with multisite, and then when enough people have bought the game we can also start in-site games.

Remember, if we do an in apolyton game, there's no need for it to be a big issue. We all know each other, and we could always run one alongside a multi-site game. Granted, security will be tough in any multisite game, and we'll probably have to take a step backwards with many more things being via PM, but that's ok. We're all in it for fun, and think a larger game would be fun for more people -- at least at the start, when some won't have PtW.

Does everyone have to own PTW to be able to be on a team?
