PTW Democracy Game II

[Beta]

Arrian,
I understand it is a PBEM game, therefore, before I committ myself, I'd like to know how you play it exactly, turn-wise and time-wise?

I might face two problems:
1. Interenet connections in Switzerland are (still) expensive. I can get a 24/h 7/7 package for a lump sum, but since it's much more expensive, i'd like to know if it's worth it.
2. For family, professional and time-lag reasons, I cannot get a save, play a round, send it to everybody, wait for their play etc. (if it'played this way).

Oh Dark Master, I beg you to enlighten me.

I'll second what FP said. Don't worry about having to be there to play each turn etc. What most teams need are ideas and input, discussion and debate. MS, you would be a great addition to any team.

Team Monkey in the PTWDGII would welcome you, as would Vox Controli in the PTWDG. Although I have to warn you regarding the latter - we are in a re-building mode.

the zoo?

[Mountain Sage]

Ah well,

You convinced me to give it a try...

Why don't you discuss between your teams who would like to have me? (and take me by the hand the first time to explain what to do and what not to do).
I'll try to adapt.
Of course, my preferences are, in listed order:
1. A PP team.
2. A PUP team.
3. A warmonger team, but only after having launched the spaceship (just to conquer the galaxy, that is).
4. A 'UN team', fighting only for preserving its empire and style of life.
5. A very light warmonger team, doing occasionnally short 'police patrols'.
6. Any other warmonger team, but beware of my heretical views.

What do PP and PUP mean?

[Arrian]

I think I can answer that:

PP = "Perfect Peacenick"
PUP = "Pragmatic Ultimate Power" (which, IMO, is sort of an oxymoron. MS does quite well playing the way he does, but the whole point of Ultimate Power is, well, to have Ultimate power - shooting for the moon. Not pragmatism. But that's just semantics).

Given that CoD is playing as the English, and the game itself was set up to be lighthearted, I think we can safely say that we're playing pretty peacefully. I can't speak for the other teams, of course.

Thanks.

I would imagine that Team Sunshine are the perfect example of a PP team, no? Perhaps Mountain Sage would be happiest playing with them.

FP is right, of course, SunShine is the PP team.

BUT I'M TRYING TO RECRUIT FOR US!!!

Our problem may be the relative obscurity of Eddie.

-Arrian

[FrustratedPoet]

You may have a point there, but we've got no shortage of people signed up to the team. A lack of motivated members is our problem more than a lack of people who like Eddie's comedy.

[Master Zen]

The hot stud lady-killers of Team Latin Lover is open for recruits too. However, our forum is in spanish and we have a pretty active forum so you guys are best with other teams I guess. However, the invitation is always open.

It's not just semantics. Please read your classics again:

Legoland does Oops, we are in the PtWDG I not II. Am I still alowed to advertise us here?

As you can see from our theme, we are the builders' team. You can call us a PP team, but in this case it would mean "Pragmatic Peacenick"

We are going to win with a spaceship launch

[Arrian]

I wonder, Tiberius, if that game will end with the "barbarian" nations of Bob and Stormia desperately trying to invade Legoland to stop the launch. Now that would be funny.

-Arrian

[Tiberius]

It would, indeed.

MS - Team Monkey in the PTWDG2 would welcome you on our team. You would have H_E, Kon, and myself to guide you - but trust me - it ain't difficult.

The toughest thing will be choosing a simian species for yourself.

And Vox Controli in the PTWDG would welcome you as well, but as I stated earlier, we are more or less spectators at this point during our re-building phase. The cost of a lost war.
