Team Collaboration Thread

[Jon Shafer]

Okay, as time runs down, there are a few things that need to go on between teams.

On that note, do all teams support my idea of long-ago about holding a sort of turnchat between all the teams (a representative from each team to play the game) on December 1st (or the start date, should it change) to cycle through the first 10 or so turns.

This may be one of the only ways to speed up the early part of the game... However, it will require a lot of work between teams to make sure a representative from every team shows up to the chat, otherwise the whole thing is pointless...

I think it depends on the day and date for the interteam turnchat. But I definitely support the plan.

[Jack_www]

I can not personally make it one the weekdays, only at night during weekdays, but I will try and get a vp to come if I cant make it.

[Jon Shafer]

Ideally these would be on the weekends (for as long as is practical... two or three times... at some point there will be too much to do each turn to wait on every team).

[notyoueither]

In principle, yes. But not prior to 3pm EST on Dec 1.

Where are all the players?

Ideally on weekends? Nothing but weekends for something like this. The Civ3DG got going in the summer with a lot of students. Turn chats sounded like a good idea to most. I do not support repeating that mistake with this game.

I am sure that my team could have a representative play the first 10 turns in rapid succession

From what I've seen, these teams (semi-officially) are able to attend the 10-turn kickoff turnchat:

Lux Invicta
Legoland
Gathering Storm
'Jon Miller's Team'

I don't know about turn chatt...

The 'turnchat' will be a meeting of each team's representative in the/a chatroom so that each rep can quickly notify the next one that the save is on the way. Otherwise, I'm not sure how we'll be able to move things along as fast (and we won't be able to know for sure that each team is present).

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

I propose that we refer to Jon Miller's team as "Miller Time".

[Randolph]

or at least refer to the period where they have the E-mail as "Miller Time". "Sent Email, it is now Miller Time 3750BC"

[notyoueither]

We could use a thread here. No one posts in it except the players. Each posts once that a turn is sent. No one else posts anything in that thread until we are done.

Some people don't IRC.

I'm commited to the plan to have us all ready and able to do several turns together ... I'm not 100% sure when I will be available on Dec 1.

As that weekend is "Thanksgiving Weekend" here in the United States, I'm heading out to visit my mother and will either be back late Saturday night or sometime Sunday afternoon. Travel plans have not yet been finalized. I'll post here whem they are.

About Turnchat:

I suggest we cycle thru the very first turn BEFORE we engage in turnchat.. that way the memebr of teams can assess the enviornment and can make a 10-20 turn domestic plans for the worker. Exploration unfourtunately will have be left for members attending the turnchat, but it would nice to at least enter turnchat knowing what your immediate surrounding is so we can prepare it and move rapidly during chat.

And I can't really back you up on that one for sure either... I'll be out of town from November 29th through sometime at least around mid-day on December 1st (going to visit my younger brother in Indiana).
