MP: C4DG Nearly Starting!

[Golden Bear]

Not a bad idea if we could each get our starting positions shared with us at the same time - by private emails to each team of course. Then when time came for turn play we won't be each taking 48 hours serially.

Sure, but there also is a limit to what amount of effort one team can pour in 24h. We want a timely turn progressing, and especially the first turn this is not going to hold.

Everybody will want more time for their first turn, and every team accepts that more time will be needed. But giving every team all the time needed will lead to the first turn taking 3 weeks or more... providing screenshots might reduce that first turn to 2 weeks, possibly even 1 week.

Just an idea, though. Not a demand... and certainly not the official GS view, just my personal opinion.

I think the reason we could not have screenshots of our start location is that the start locations are random, ie, nobody knows where anyone will start, and giving everyone screenshots of everyone elses start positions is not acceptable...

Any reason to delay the release of starting positions screenshots? We might get started right now...

Hehe, I did think when I saw it that you guys would probably have enjoyed that map quite a bit Too bad I didn't save a copy.

• Continents, NOT custom continents. Trust me, CUSTOM continents looked horrid, and were never nearly balanced; on the other hand, Continents made a good map on the second try. Custom continents kept giving grids, like the one that was 6 continents in a dice pattern ... or the really cool but not good one that was one HUGE sprawly continent with a tundra-continent with Banana alone on it Although Continents is always risky, it ultimately made a much better map than anything we could get on Custom, so long as we previewed it.

I compelety agree with the Custom Continents. They are horrblie looking, even benoyd gamey looking.

Anyways, thanks for all your guys' hard work getting off.

Yes, like Paddy says, good job and thanks!!

Pre-start screenshots should help tide us over until we get started for real. We all can get our early game planning done in advance.
