So what if that city ever gets destroyed?

People actually get upset about that?

I think this is a fruitless discussion as long as one part assumes the best case scenario (that is that all of us are adults and reasonable and don't do stupid stuff).

There has been enough strife just by misunderstood RP in previous DGs

Anyways - let's see what the team votes are.

At two weeks for the last turn it's a wonder we've got as far as we have

At that point I may think someone was trying to offend me.

I've only really experienced this situation once in a team game.

In that case, the members were allowed to disperse through the teams, and there was no impact I could see with diplomacy. Team A was destroyed by Team B and screwed by Team C. They dispersed, and there was no radical shifts in the other participant's views of team B or C.

All other teams I've seen eliminated in demogames have not had members wanting to join other teams.

So, basing solely on my past experience, I would say that allowing folks to join whomever they wish would not seriously impact the game. I don't think 10 or 20 turn waiting is going to do much. If someone's pissed, they'll still be pissed.

We could make a statement of no sharing of specifics if you're worried. IE, no "hey, they have techs xyz and are researching this to build that" should be shared, but "Team banana invaded us with blackened banana peels which poisoned the streams and weakened our warriors, we were unable to repell the attack since GS refused to help and lasers proved ineffective against banana trees" type information should be ok.

The responsibility is for the team they are joining to take everything with a grain of salt. Yeah, they just got killed off, of course they are biased. Remember it's only one side of the story.

My opinion only, all that jazz.

Ditto

Maybe time for a poll and an actual decision
Maybe we could form a committee

[Paddy]

a decision around here
that is an excellent idea
but how to implement it

well considering we have only been discussing it for 2 months and 1 day, we really should take some time to ponder over all the thought that has gone into the various posts here already

after that it is probably wise to head for the nearest bar and consume as much vodka as possible before collapsing in some sort of alcoholic coma...

only known remeidy for giving posts such consideration

That gets my vote!!!

Ya agreed, although I am not sure we have talked it to death quite enough yet, especially by poly standards.............

[binTravkin]

If we want to talk it to death, it'll be ciV demogame when the talk ends (and starts anew).
