Who wants...

[Meshelic]

Hmmm I guess I musta missed that. Oh well. I'm not so new anymore so I don't know why I didn't know that.

What should our design be for our team icon?

[FrustratedPoet]

We need to decided on a name first. Do we really want to be 'Trash Trip's Ass'???

Anyway, here's a very quick effort from me, in case we keep the name we have now.

new members

13 would be nice

[chamonix]

I wanna join!

[alva]

We definately need seperate forums. Talking 'bout UU, traits, strategie, icon and general all in the same thread, becomes eugh . Not to say unproductive

I'm still an anarchist at hart, so

IMO, military is one of the weakest traits in MP
Religious =very good
commercial= very good
scientific= arguably the strongest (both culture and science), and I wouldn't underestimate the power of culture in mp
expansionist= a gamble and very map depended

[alva]

It seems I forgot about industrious
Again, very powerfull

Who of our team has allready had experience on PTW mp?

btw: this team suddenly became alot more popular once I joined up

Hey guys- is there any way i can join as well?

The mix up of new and veteran members with all sorts of views on how to play the game looks prospecting.

I wanted to join Arnelos' realpolitik team but the team didn't materialize, as you probably know...


So, please?, pretty please?

[FrustratedPoet]

It would probably be a good plan to try and arrange a time to meet up in a chatroom ('poly's would do) to talk things over in Real Time.

We've got a lot to work out:
1) how will the team be structured? (if at all)
2) what Civ will we play?
3) will we change our name? if so, what to?
prolly some other stuff too.

we wouldn't all have to make it, but as long as there were 4-6 of us we could make some progress and bring some preliminary decisions back here for votes (or whatever).

[Meshelic]

I'd like to see Zeit accepted on this team, he'd make us proud.

[alva]

I think it's ok(not certain though), but if any others want to join, from now on it's a team decision.

So for the moment we are closed
(if you do wanne join, just post here, and we get back to you ASAP )


chamonix: 11
and Zeit makes 12, doesn't he?

so maybe 1 more?? guys??

[Meshelic]

one more sounds good to me.

[notyoueither]

chamonix and zeit added. Yes, need 1 more for an odd number. We are odd, are we not?

Very glad to see everyone taking ownership of the team. Don't wait for me people, I can follow as well as lead...

[Meshelic]

I can handle a position on a new Gazette for our team, as well as press releases to other countries (which could serve as propoganda if I'm Foreign Minister) .

We need one more player. I'm sure he/she will turn up before too long. If not, we can have the President (or whatever we decide to call him) be the tying vote, with 11 votes originally before the President votes. He should be the last one to vote in my opinion, on any issue. But that is debatable as well.

Also, what kind of government structure do we want? A democratic form where we elect leaders for every ministerial position or a fuedal like the roleplay team? or a socialist government with 3-4 main power-sharing leaders who poll the remaining citizens for official duties? or a totalitarian government with President appointed-only ministers? or what else? any ideas? I'm open to all...

[notyoueither]

How about each member joins the schools.

Economist, Tactician, Diplomat. Each school runs itself on a consensus basis (that generally means majority tries to win over minority into agreement).

Each school has a leader. Those are the ministers. One from the Tacticians is The Leader. He is the fourth leader. He or she decides disputes when consensus is not possible. He or she plays the game for the most part, supported by a second.

The weakness might be if we have all people of one bent over all others. That's just my idea of the evening. Others may be better.

[Meshelic]

I would hope that anything we try to do will run parallel with the advancement of our civ, and hope that we do not bicker with each other over minute details. Although I'm sure we can all expect differences between each other, though in some form or another, be it little or (hopefully not) bigger.

so notyoueither you are kind of going along with my socialist idea of 3-4 'leaders' who each control a portion of government, voted there by the people (although that's democratic....regardless) who pertain to a certain classification amongst those groups like technician/diplomat/economist... correct?

like: of the 3-5 people who say they are economists at heart, maybe those 3-5 people vote a leader to represent the economists, which would deal with the economy and science.
and 3-5 with leanings towards 'technician' can vote for a leader who will plan city sites and appoint those who can handle building queue's....
and 3-5 with leanings towards diplomacy may elect a leader who will represent the government both as ambassador to seperate nations and another person to act as official government spokesman "ie Propoganda Minister"...
