Another mega turn chat?

It was my favorite smiley too.

And I just noticed your avatar, Trip-LOL

As for a megachat, come right on in!

[Jon Shafer]

You just noticed my avatar?

So what do people think about another mega-chat?

[Spiffor]

I agree, if it is carefully planned, and if teams have 1-2 whole days to prepare to it, in order to avoid unpreparation causing slowdowns during the chat.
We must also find a common schedule with at least two responsibles for each team (so that the game isn't blocked if somebody cannot make it dor any reason)

[notyoueither]

I think the idea of mega chats becomes less possible as the turns progress. So we get 40 or 50 people together for it, then two teams make contact, then 30 or 40 of us are waiting around for a significant period of time while negotiations are conducted and the teams make decisions as to trade or not to trade, war or not to war...

It just doesn't seem very practical to me at this point.

[Jon Shafer]

If the teams go to the chat prepared (i.e. with all members available and the team rep able to make decisions on the spot), then I don't see why it wouldn't work.

[notyoueither]

Right. You just paused for 18 or 20 hours for a major decision. What would that do for the mega chat?

[mrmitchell]

NYE: It would kill it.


However, during the time, the teams could bond together...or maybe just see who can disinfo/psych out each other the most

Truthfully, that's where I see most megachats going in the future: disinfo-fests

[Jon Shafer]

We had a reason that would have been eliminated if it had been the situation that I'm talking about.

yeah,mega turn chat would be great,
how about 15 turns in a mega chat as a warm up?
with a time limit or a member gets banned from their forum

I started a Moderated IRC channel, #PTWdemo
its useful for us irc demoers to meet up for communications, all +v's could be demoteam members.
Trip will probably be opped there most the time too.
