Game of the Month?

[Locutus]

But wouldn't it seem a bit suspicious if 30+ people voted they would love this feature but only 10 would actually play?

Actually, no, as invariably more people say they will play than actually *do* play. The best of intentions trip over the real world.

I voted "sometimes" but for the next few months I think it would be "often." I enjoyed the OCC comparison games in Civ2.

Caveat: I don't think I'd be very interested in trying to maximize my score in the end game, as that gets excruciatingly boring. The beauty of the OCC was that games were pretty quick. I'd be more interested in "fastest" than "highest" for that reason ("fastest to the Dark Ages" for example; now *there's* a goal!)

I'm new to CTP2, but I'd really like to see this done. It may help increase the game's fanbase...

Hermann, as you may have noticed, both CFC and 'Poly keep track of *both* score and game year, that seems like a good system to me as well. The CtP2 scoring system is not all that great so IMHO the end year is the more important statistic but some other people might value score more...

Hmm, 14 votes now. It's beginning to look a bit better already...

Dale, don't tell me you actually started to create DLs! 7 more people voted in 40 hours since you posted that suggestion

But we could still use a couple of extra votes if I want to be able to make a strong case...

Vote, people, vote!

Wasn't me!

Let's give this one more *bump* to see if we can get more votes. In a few days I'll take the issue to Markos and Dan.

Locutus, I've recently become active on the forums because I finally got the mods in and I really don't like Civ 3 (you may soon be able to find it cheap on E-Bay!!!), If there aren't enough people for two "divisions", I'd play on the expert one. You'll all need someone to finish last!!!

BTW, how long (ie, many days in the month) would the game last? I'm traveling all of the time on my job, and I don't have a laptop. And it would cut into my RtCW time when I'm home! :-) However, I would play as much as possible.

I'm also hoping to learn the code so I can jam the boards with poorly written scenarios!

If I could fix my computer then I'd play.

Well, I suppose if we call it GotM, we ought to make the games last for a month... But nothings final yet, it will probably be renamed CtP2 Tournament anyways...

Can't wait to see them!

Is this still happening guys? If so, when? Id certainly welcome some kind of competition, to see how good i really am.

Yes, soon. But something else will need to happen first. I can't go into details but just wait and see...
