Roleplay Team

[Arnelos]

Togas,

I am VERY INTERESTED in joining this particular team... but I haven't yet decided which of the current teams (or potentially a new team) I like best.

[Ninot]

Arnelos... the Righteous team needs you

lol.

good luck to the Roleplaying team. it sounds like a great idea, and i hope you can stick to the principles.

I might be very interested in playing if there is no player cap. Actually, I take that back -- I'd be quite interested in playing, barring some other (more interesting) team coming up -- if there is no player cap. I probably won't have PTW, and while I think I could serve some purpose even without the game, I don't want to be a burdon to a ten person team.

If Togas is our first benevolent dictator, I wanna be FAM for the first term while we still don't know anyone so it doesn't matter if I have the game or not .

No ten person cap imposed, but I would like to get at least that many to give the game enough participants to keep it active and exciting.

The more the better IMO.

I could do it, provided I can get a copy soon. I was planning on picking one up this weekend, but the store I usually go to just notified me that they will not have any copies until Dec. 19th.... Time to do some shopping.

Yes, the more members the better, that way no one will notice how little I can help out.

Oops, Did I say that or just think it?

D'oh!

[Togas]

Could everyone who's joined this team (or decides to join this team in the future) state what Civ(s) he wants to play?

I mean the Ottoman's....I like anything I can rest my feet on.

[ruby_maser]

those in charge

I suppose if the people got fed up with the leadership, y'all could have a roleplay revolution

[History Guy]

Well, I'd sure like to get in here, but it seems I won't be getting my PTW for about 2 months or so...so, I'll just watch in the backround.

Personally, I don't quite like the idea of playing as Ottomans (historical reasons, I assure you), but if you guys think it's best, let's go for it. The Carthaginians or Celts might also be a good choice, I must say.

[History Guy]

Here's what I think--

Vikings would not be a good choice. Certainly, they have the best UU this side of...Sid Meier, but they will not have high cultural benefits, nor will the Mongols. The Spanish have some good benefits, despite what I have heard is a rather pitiful UU, and the same goes for the Arabs. The Koreans might not be a bad choice, apparently players have been pretty satisfied with Wang Kon's bunch, and even the UU. The Ottomans might be an OK choice, though personally, I'd prefer not to choose them.

The Celts would be a good choice. They enjoy religious and militaristic benefits, giving them a good culture, as well as a splendid UU, a fast swordsman. However, I think the best choice would be the Carthaginians, with their industrious and commercial benefits, and their pretty spiffy Ancient UU.

[F-PRO]

I'd like to join this team. The realpolitik-team seemed ok too, but the "extreme"-roleplaying aspect of yours is great.

Since I live in the Netherlands I'd probably get a copy of Play the World at the end of November. But you don't necessarily need to have the game to be able to join the DG, right? (except, of course, when you want to be in an executive position.)

2) sounds fun.

I *might* later join this team but I'm still deciding. I'd rather have PtW before I join a team.

Edit: What Edit? Made mistake clearing out stuff from Togas post quote to get to the point. I dunno.

[Togas]

I wanted to clarify some more ideas about this team and how we ought to handle things. I don't want anyone to have the impression that we're going to have one player be the despot and the rest of us be his lackeys. That probably wouldn't be all that much fun for most of us.

We will chose one of us to be our enlightened leader and the leader (and in some part, the group) will choose who will serve in roles such as generals, governors, explorers, high priest (with the advent of religion), chief builder, messangers to other nations, and so forth. There is no Constitution. There is no code of law (until we discover it and create one). There are no "polls" but we may well all let our voices be heard so that those in charge can be enlightened.

We will all represent great families within our civilization. Members of our families die, but the family lives on. So should a leader be removed from office violently, the player still remains, but just acts as though he is the son or grandson of the fallen despot.

Major changes like coups should happen, especially come time for a government change. Perhaps we should hold "Out of Character" polls from time to time about what should happen in our history, and then enact them accordingly? Or should we be able to manage such things without them?

This could be a whole lot of fun and could get into very enjoyable levels of detail so long as we play responsibly, respect everyone's contributions, and try to keep it open for everyone's participation.

We will probably have to make a few rules before we start about what is and isn't acceptable. Suggestions?
