If you start it's ok for me, but as a previous poll told to randomize, I guess the best solution would be a real randomizer so no one can't complain about anything. Shiber told he could do it in a previous thread, I could do it too, or let's ask to MarkG.

It is random, it was just the order of each team's first post in a random thread. And its done so we won't have to sit around for another week waiting for someone to come up with a program and prove that it actually was the results of their random program and not them just writing down an order.

I have no prob with starting the game now, but I can't talk on behalf of my team. Jack_www is our boss, and will play the game for the Legoland. The suggested order is as good as any other, as long at it gets things done.
Unfortunately, if Jack_www is unavailable, there is currently no one to replace him in our team

[punkbass2000]

Can two civs have the same colour?

Why use a randomiser??

Take 7 pieces of paper , write the names of the team on them, put them in a "hat",..........et voila

That's okay, you were the last team to post in the thread so if any team was to not have someone who could play right away your team would be the best one as you would go last anyway.

Yeah, but how are you going to prove it was random? Post an mpeg of you pulling out the pieces of paper? How would we know you didn't do it 6 times and go with the order you liked the best?

[notyoueither]

Yes, but do you want to start with that proposed order?

Or do we want to stand around looking at each other for another couple of days?

No two teams are using the same colour.

[punkbass2000]

I also agree that, despite the hassle, we really should randomize the order. I realize that the order is random in some sense, but it is not arbitrary enough, IMO. Also, the reasoning behind it presumes that anyone who saw the thread would have posted and that whoever was here first necessarily started the thread.

start !!!

I say go ahead, as I don't see a huge difference the play order is going to make but I wish some more people would raise their hands.

Both Lux Invicta and Vox Xontroli want Roman Red. Not only that but our civs have the same traits too... who'll be able to tell us apart when there's no immortals or sipahi?

I believe the best way to solve this 'problem' is to simply do RPS online. Quick, effective, fair and, uh, conspicuous.
