When a team dies out....

[GodKing]

I was just wondering, will the players be allowed to joing other teams?

Do we want a set of guidelines (I don't think 'official' rules are good for this) for people to follow?

Should they be forced into the Civ's that took them over? Or should they be allowed to be refugies and go to whatever Civ will accept them?

There has allready been some discussion about this in one of the early threads.

IMO, you either quit, or join the new team (conqeror, after resisting awhile off-course )

[GhengisFarb™]

I think they should be allowed to flee to another civ if they want.

[Spiffor]

I think they should join whatever team they want, if that team wants them too.

hmm, yeah, you're right
As long as you havn't been to the civ's private forums, there isn't any real reason why you shouldn't.

Was to fast with my earlier response

hopefully there will be no attempts to sabotage, due to hard feelings.........

Perhaps we could have Prisoners of War who upon capture either agree to help the team that captures you (and retaining your POW status) or be executed, which would mean end of the game for you until everyone has finished their game as well. then we start again....

just a thought...

I strongly disagree here. It'll bore the people to death... When I play a LAN, and there is a one-hour duel between the last survivors, the other players always ask the survivors to finish it quickly, because they can't play during this time... Do you imagine how long the "dead" players will have to wait ? PtWDG is not counter srike

As for the POW idea, I also disagree : I don't want to be considered an Untermensch for the rest of the game should my team lose, it's not my idea of fun. I doubt it's anyone's idea of fun :\

[Donegeal]

Let the victorious team pick 3 people they want to "capture" and the rest can flee to what ever team they want (including the conqering team). As the victorious team they should get some kind of reward.

Agree or disagree, they are both simply ideas put forth for the cutting room, either to end up on the reel or on the floor in pieces.

But aren't the 'dead' players or the 'dead' civs going to have to wait anyways if they are defeated? Why not save them the wait period and allow them passage to another team, or allow another team to at least consider letting the other players continue to be a part of it.

I don't see what part of all this you disagree with, Spiffor. Maybe I just didn't read between the lines...?

We forget that there is no interdiction against more than one game going on.

Some one or two get eliminated (that will take a while). Why cannot the eliminated duel against another team with a high level of participation?

Yep, sorry for not clarifying . To me it's obvious a member of a dead team goes to whatever team he wants, hence they don't wait. (When I say "it's obvious", I mean "I didn't even think of clarifying )

[notyoueither]

Why break up the teams?

when a team dies out...

we all laugh at them and tell them how much they sucked.

This might haunt you for a very very looooooooong time
