the people of demogyptica

[Donegeal]

Personally, I am against non-poly teams in our game, but we cannot stop them from getting accounts here and starting one with poly.

Sorry, nothing against you Germans, but we have tried earlier to start a multi-site game and it fizzeled. This is why we started this ... um... educational game.

[Jon Shafer]

The only reason it fizzled was for lack of support, and the fact that CFC couldn't join.

If Demogyptica are willing to be as involved and active as those here, I see no reason why they shouldn't be allowed to join. The more the merrier.

Borc, just make sure you take a look at the Rule Outline thread stickied here, that should give you all the info you need to know.

Just something to think about.

i am not in the position to make a proposal yet but i am sure that we can find a way to keep the save file only for 4 hours (average!)... i.e. we say we have ~ 500 turns to play and 8 civs and 2 years time to play

2* years * 365 days * 24 hours = 17520 hours total
17520 / 8 civs = 2190 hours for each civ
2190 hours / ~500 turns total = 4,38 hours / turn...

that means every civ starts with ~2000 hours time for ~500 turns... - the faster you send your save file to the next civ (has to be handled by an central server which checks the time every party needs) the more time you have left for critical game phases...

something like 8 chess players with 8 chess clocks...

and no problem to make a poll if the save file is on the way for 32 hours (average! with 8 civs * 4 hours)

There's two reasons why I prefer SE to NE. (Both are river tiles)

1. NE wastes a shielded-grassland.

2. SE is directly on a luxary resource, this allows one more warrior to be sent exploring before you have to keep them for martial law. (This is important on the Emperor level for a non-expansionist civ)

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.

Hey, I'm all for no AI. It will give us more practice in dealing with relations with other Democracy teams.

ONLY a year?

wow, you've got far more patience than I have.

I agree with Ghengis. ( )

unfortunately, there is no perfect font that suggests sarcasm but that's the way I intended it to be

[Borc]

our poll is not finished yet but with 12 yes votes and ~4 no votes we probably will ask you very soon to participate as a new civ...

we will have a secret forum at our own server very soon... we also have no problems with the other rules and game settings you have...

the only thing i miss is which civs already are already taken by the 5 groups?

[Borc]

ok, sorry, i already found the 5 civs status report... :-)
so i think you only need to make a poll if you want to let us be civ#6

[Randolph]

You can choose any Civ, and if it's the same as one that another team has chosen than it will be randomly decided who gets the civ and who picks a new one.
