the people of demogyptica

[Borc]

i am the ambassador of demogyptica, the big german demo game... i started a poll there to ask my people if they would like to join this wonderful new game here... my question is now: IF my people would like to start a 6th civ here (and it is not sure that they want) ... what would you say? would it (still) be possible? are we too late? what do you want us to do?

please visit us at http://www.cylusion.com/demogyptica

In the end I'm gonna get what I wanted......

No AI

I guess this is gonna take a poll to resolve ?

This game was going to be a test run for Apolyton, and not going to include other sites. Now, that being said, if your members wish to come and get Apolyton accounts, form up a team of five or more, I don't think there would be a problem...

[Inverse Icarus]

i'm against more teams simply because i'd like to see this game end eventually

but, i mean, they're only germans. they start out strong and then lose big time.

and besides, did you see their start position?

Welcome Borc !
I've once browsed the Demogyptica forum, and I was surprised by the size of the forum (I thought only the international sites like Apolyton and CivFanatics could gather so many posts )

I don't know if you could be allowed in this DemoGame though : at the origin, this Democracy Game has been set up for Apolytonians to train and learn with the upcoming multisite Democracy Game in mind (CivFanatics should be opened to this in several months).
We didn't speak of accepting non-Apolytonians teams as of yet, so I can't answer for now

I'd advice you completely setup a team quickly, i.e you must have
- a name for the team
- a team leader
- at least 5 members
- you know what Civ to play (if you decide this really too late, you should take a Civ that is not currently in use, because this kind of conflict takes some time to resolve)
- a team icon, 15*19 pixels.
The game will start the 1. December, so you have to be quick. Since you have your Forum, we won't have to ask our admin MarkG to create a private, secure forum for you (otherwise you'd have to be ready some time sooner)

This will definitely trigger the discussion on whether we accept you or not (some people aren't happy when they hear about the creation of another team), and will give you better chances to be accepted.

If, for any reason, you're not players in the Apolyton PtW DemoGame, I strongly suggest you do one on your own. It's tons of fun, and teaches much !

I think this certainly would require a poll, and that you'd have to do it "as Aployton members". Personally I wouldn't have a problem with it.

On a side note, another team (or more) is added I'd like to make a movement to get rid of the AI all together, when it was 4 humans and 4 AI, it adds something(1:1 ratio), but 6 humans and 2 AI just means 2 human teams will get an AI to bash on (and get tech, cash, etc) making it more of an unbalancing factor.

[Randolph]

BTW the game starts the 1st of Dec., not the 11th I think that was just a typo of Spiffor's, but I don't want you to be confused.

[Borc]

yes it would be no problem for us to have a password protected forum there... as you want! the poll i have started at our site will be finished in 3 days... please continue to write here in this thread! ...

I've never started in such an excelent position. Just shift the settler one square SE to the forest with luxary and that's a very powerful position.

I agree. If we did add a 6th team, I move that we remove the AI. May also want to reduce the map size a little.

why move??

[Spiffor]

Thanks for pointing my typo Randolph Mistake corrected

[joncnunn]

Settler is currently on a hill tile.

By moving it one square SE, the hill can be mined for 3 shields a turn.

[ruby_maser]

well, each team we tack on (at a day for each team to have the save) only adds about a year to the game each.

Personally, I would like all teams, Apolytonian or not. The more the merrier, but civ 4 will be out before this game gets to the industrial age.

Just something to think about.

you could move NE to use a river (save $$ for aquaduct) and then have 2 or 3 more cities to the south.

NOTE: that current tile is NOT on a river.
