good to see

I think it's fair to say that GS favour the Prioritised Preference. No-one so far in our private forum has advocated a random civ. Where would the fun be in that if we can't agonise over our preferences?

Sarantium seems to feel the same way so far.

Heh... I wasn't in yet. I think random with veto would make a very interesting game indeed, and I'd be willing to try it out

Otherwise, prioritized preference for me personally too.

It seems pretty clear that option 4 is the most favoured in this poll can we move things along a stage yet ?

[Enigma_Nova]

Going with Option 4. While Random might work out depending on luck of the draw, I'm confident my team can choose their civ more skillfully than anyone else.

[Jon Miller]

Vox favors 2 or 4.

Have teams not started finalizing which Nations they want?

[Lacero]

Personally I would rather wait until we know map details before deciding on which leader to use.
It can make a huge difference.

Do we have a thread for that yet? I can't find one.

PS Option 4

[Enigma_Nova]

We never did decide on that, did we?
Someone better go make the thread.

EDIT: Thread's up

I think snoopy369 should be this someone.

I recognise the current lead of option 4 as overhelming, yet Im not the official person to decide it.

Just barely started... we needed private forums for these.

Besides, I think that the ultimate decision will have to wait until after we decide which map type, and general game we play.

It is all kind of inter-related.

[Lacero]

I agree it's inter-related, but we get to collectively choose the map type and rules and we only get to express preferences for races.

Deciding the map and game type first gives everyone an incentive to make sure any race can effectively play on the map. For example, without being sure you already have fishing to start most people wouldn't push for an archiapelago.

This way tries to stop luck (when two people prefer the same race) having too much of an effect.

[Jon Miller]

I think a significant part of Vox would want either random world or random civ
