Why join the Legoland team ?

We the Legoland are oriented towards building our infrastructure and make our cities grow. We sure prefer peace as it profits to all teams, but will be ready for war when the need arises.
Our team is here to show builder strategies can work in a multiplayer game, and is the only one to do so. We have fun in our forum, creating a theme oriented to construction games (Lego, Mechano, Construx etc.). Come in our thread to discuss things more deeply

What do you want?

I must say at present that I am leaning towards the Roleplay team.

My current, and quite possible inaccurate assesment of the teams:
Lux Invicta
Appears to have started for the sole reason that they worship some deity known as "Trip". Have no agenda, goals, or motivation other than the worship of this "Trip". Don't think this would be a very enjoyable team to join unless you are "Trip".

Glory of War
Everyone refers to them as warmongers but I haven't seen or heard anything warlike from them. Appear to be conformists with a psychological need for acceptance from their mothers. However, all of the graphic talent appears to have accumulated into this team.

Roleplay
Have no goals or agenda, however unlike Lux Invicta they do not worship a fictious Diety. Their primary purpose appears to be fun and entertainment.

Gathering Storm
Their own goal/agenda is to kick the but of "Trip". That's it. They also appear to be very snootish and are all ready rumored to be turning aside prospective members that do no meet "the cut".

Legoland
Not sure if they are playing the Civ3PTW Democracy game as all they talk about is Legos. They may simply be a small daycare group that got lost on the vast worldwide web.

That's it, I don't see any other teams out there, but who knows maybe there will be whole eight before Dec 1.

Ouch... that hurts, Thrumble. First of all, I don't consider us snootish at all, even if I can't assess how other see us. It is not our intention at all, even if we got that name because the team have invited a few of the Civ-strategy thread regulars to join. Our main raison d'état is having fun amongst friends, second one learning how to play a MP demogame. (and a small third trying to win, of course). As said before numerous times, the 'ringers' as others have started to call the newest additions to the group do not have any experience with demogames, or with MP, but are mightly interested in learning how to play. You can see this amongst others because so far none of us n00bies have applied for a significant position yet, the responsibility still lies in the hands of the first few members.

Of course we know the SP game, maybe even a little better then most other players (or at least we have written more about it), but this won't mean anything in the PTW demogame that is now starting. I find all this fuss rather worrying, it used to be fun to be called a ringer, now it is becoming a bad tag I don't want to bear.

As to accepting members: okay, maybe Flash should have gotten a better response, but it was said before that the membership for this group is closed for the moment (exceptions always possible, naturally, but with group debate and acceptance). We have grown to be the second biggest group, and believe me, smaller groups work smoother. It never was the intention of the old members that we would grow to 15 members, but as everybody who got a invitation joined, all of a sudden we were second-biggest. Now we work with it, and like it to, but not to the point where we want even more members... that becomes a company instead of a bunch of friends joined together.

As to our intentions in this game: Of course, Trashing Trips Ass was what we set out to do, but more as a fun goal to center us around... in our private forum I have yet to see the first post in which we really are the archenemies of Lux. Of course, things can change quickly in-game, but for the moment we are, a bit like Lux, a balanced team without specific war or builder preferences. It does seem that one of the main things we will try to accomplish is to be the most honorable team on the block (but more on that later), no backstabbing allowed.

It hurts that you have a whole other idea of our team, and I can only expect that this comes from some of the (friendly) rantings of the other teams, and a few things taken out of context. We really are a nice bunch

Ouch. Hasn't even picked a team yet, but is already trash talking us. We'll remember that...

[Spiffor]

I think he's been trash talking everyone

[Meshelic]

Snootish???

Man. You make it sound like we're French or something!

Turning down potential members? Sure, we have that right, but it is not a biased decision, it completely dependant on the already large number of members on the team and the desire to work more closely like a team rather than a mob of people.

I think DeepO's explanation hit the nail.

[Meshelic]

Well you've managed to offend two groups already Thrumble. I daresay the Glory of War team may be calling for your head sooner or later as well.

[ThePlagueRat]

Perhaps Thrumble will come and seek safety at the RP team?
(when the "axemen-team" comes around)

Perhaps the RP team got enough intrigues as it is?
Another intriguemaker could make my head fall off too.

[Meshelic]

I don't mean to sound 'snootish' (or French!)

but look at the member lists.

Roleplay team has 19 members and still growing
Gathering Storm has 15 members
Lux Invictica and Glory of War have 11 members
and Legoland has 8 members.

anyone see this as a bit unbalanced?

RPteam 19 = Legoland 8??

you got that right buddy.

it was funny though

btw, I think the 'primary purpose' of every team is 'fun and entertainment', that isn't confined to the RPG'ers.
Nobody will continue to play this game if it is boring them rigid, they'd be a fool too. Hopefully we'll all have a great time (I think we will).

That's true. We were expecting a few of the people we invited to turn us down for various reasons, but they all accepted.
That's a double-edged sword.

We're very glad to have you, of course.

In case anyone is wondering, GS don't think we're going to win the game.
We don't seem very popular, although I fail to understand why. It seems likely at this stage that two or more human teams will team up against us and destroy us in the Ancient Age., either because they hate us or fear us.
That's completely within the rules and is a fair way to play. If that happens you won't hear us complaining.
