Gathering Storm

NYE hasn't authorized you yet; a small bribe is often necessary.

Are you guys still recruiting?

Sir Ralph PM'd me about this (I had no idea this was even being set up), and I am interested. I've never done a demo game before, and I'm a little hazy on how it works (exactly what issues are put to a vote, how fast these things tend to move... stuff like that).

In my experience, any team needs its starters and its bench players. I'm thinking of a benchwarmer role for myself, if you'll have me.

If we'll have you?

If?

IF???





We had put you on our "Recruitment wish-list".
(we had stopped taking people, but yesterday we decided that 13 people wasn't enough so we're looking for a few more.)

If you join our civgroup and wait for NYE to authorise you then you can see and post in our private team forum.

As to what issues are put to vote... well, that depends on the team. In some teams, everything. In ours, as little as possible. we'll discuss every aspect of the game to try and decide what would be best for us to do, but we'd only do a formal vote if there seemed to be two equally viable options. Stuff like Tech research, city build queues etc. etc.

Sure we are recruiting , would I else have PM'd you .

Here's what's to do:

Look at the page top and find the CivGroups column there. See "Gathering Storm" at the 4th line and click "Join". Wait till our team captain (NYE) approves you (may take a couple of hours to get his attention). After this, you can join our private team forum here.

Welcome!

*And Gathering Storm strikes another blow*


Glad to have you aboard Arrian.

[Arrian]

Ah, ok, thanks for the answers guys. I'll find that thread in a sec, Sir Ralph, and sign myself up.

FP, good to hear our team will attempt to streamline the decision-making process. With our roster, we ought to be able to do that. We ought to win, too

Ah well... I guess I can't stay behind either So If you would have me, I'd like to join too, under one condition: we are here to have fun, sure, but foremost we are here to bash some heads

One remark, though, I don't have PTW ATM, and it will likely take a while before I got my hands on it. And I've got a few other things to spend my free time on too, I can't promise to be online all the time. But I'd like to spend some time with you guys!

Wutang! 2 for 2!

yeah DeepO, we have had fun so far and aren't taking it too seriously, but we are nevertheless determined to win.

there's been too much (friendly) trash talking on all sides for us to not want to bash some heads.

click the 'Join' next to Gathering Storm at the top of the page and wait for the rubber stamp of authorisation.

[DeepO]

Thanks FP, I will get to it!

Welgekomen,

[Harovan]

Must be my b-day today... no, wait, x-mas... no again... but an awesome day indeed! Welcome DeepO!

[DeepO]

This is kind of becoming the dream team, I guess... I fear for some of the discussions on the private forum -- micromanaging hell One of the things is that viewing some of the members here, archer rushes are becoming more and more likely, I'm curious how this will work in game.

[Arrian]

edit: I'll wait for the private forum access to talk strategy, then. Sorry.

All of this also depends on who we are... has that been determined?.

About 80% determined.
It's a big decision and there are many good Civs, but we've nearly picked one.
It's kind of a state secret so I can't post it here, but you'll see a few threads on it in our private forum when you get there.
