Builders team: Which civ???

[Odin]

As I said in another thread, I think we should be greece to defend against the warrior/archer/horsemen rush. Persia and Egypt are also good chioces.

What do you gys think, I was at my dads this weekend so this is my first post since friday. (My dad's WebTV doesn't let me post. )

[Jon Shafer]

As an outside voice, I pitch in a vote for Greece. Those Hoplites are as annoying as any unit you'll find until Knights.

[Spiffor]

1) Carthage (gotta love the 2/3 UU coming with bronze working)
2) Persia (Insustrious scientific, and a fearsome UU)
3) Greece (hoplites)

Edit : you might be interested in this thread, and also this one.
I think you didn't notice them.

[Spiffor]

From what I gather :

Jack_www :
1) Carthage
2) Egyptians
3) Ottomans

ZargonX :
Edit :
1) Persia

Odin :

Spiffor :

2) Persia
3) Greece

Redstar1 :
1) Carthage
2) Egypt
3) Persia
--------------------------------------------------
1st vote gets 3 points, 2nd vote 2 points, and 3rd vote 1 point.

Carthage : 10
Egypt : 8
Persia : 7
Greece : 4
Ottomans : 1

The winner is Carthage ! We have to decide how to play RPS against the RP team.
If any mistake has been done, please correct me.

Edit : changed ZargonX's votes for 2nd and 3rd choice, as clarified later.

[redstar1]

1. Carthage
2. Egypt
3. Persia

[Arnelos]

grrr.... that means we'll have to rock-papyrus-flint for Carthage, doesn't it?

[Arnelos]

Spiffor, et al,

As I just posted in my team's thread, we're going to need a neutral mediator for this. The chosen representative of each team will PM their RPS choice to said mediator and the mediator will post each choice (to guarantee that the mediator didn't change them) along with the result (though the result should be obvious ). If multiple rounds are needed, that can be done.

We just need to find a truly neutral mediator (thus not someone on another team).

[redstar1]

In the interests of getting it over with quickly I'm happy to mediate. I know I'm on one of the teams concerned but fair play is what it is all about and I'm not likely to start cheating before the game has begun.

In any case, I'm available if needed.

Same here, I would volunteer too, although I'm a member of a different team. If there are doubts, how about that:

- You wait for yet more volunteers.
- You send your RPS choices to 2 or 3 different volunteers by PM.
- None of them knows, who the other volunteers are you have chosen.
- They respond by PM to Spiffor and Arnelos respectively.

This adds another layer of security.

Btw, I think the question is not that important. Even if the other teams could rig the result... the Carthaginians will be in the game in all cases, and I think nobody really cares if they are ruled by one or another team.

[UnOrthOdOx]

As stated in the other thread:

I am happy to be a/the moderator as well. If nothing else, those playing the C3DG should know of my unbias and fair nature. Yes, I am on a different team, but how does that really matter? My team will be facing Carthage as an opponent, does it really matter (to my team) which team has them?

Good idea SirRalph

[Jon Shafer]

I don't think I should mediate because I'll find a way to make both teams lose.

[Arnelos]

Well, the mediator COULD effect whether they were facing Spain or Egypt

[Spiffor]

I'm going to bed now, so I won't be available to play RPS this night. I support Jack_www to do so.

[Odin]

Sounds like Carthage, Time to march some African Elephants across the Alps.
