New game, Enigma in the middle.

[Lord Raptor]

Hi.
I'll play as Yang, if you're going for SMAC. Otherwise, count me out, because I only have SMAC.

[smacksim]

Hmm, this could be interesting.

If there is space, I'll play any faction. I won't play if the map is visible from the start though. I like discovery too much. Pods or no Pods, fine with me

[Darsnan]

Well it looks like we have 6 interested parties here, so lets go with the 6 humans.
Also, anyone got a name for this game? I personally like "Bear Baiting 101" (only in this version the "Bear", played by Enigma Nova, isn't going to be as shackled as the traditional bear is....), or we could go with the "King of the Hill".

I like Bear Baiting 101. King of the Hill makes me think of your SP scenario D...

[Snowflake]

Everybody picked a faction yet?

I don't have enough time for another 3x2 I'm afraid so if we go down that route, then count me out. Actually, strictly speaking I do, but I already get told off by my Doctor for using the computer too much...

I suggest you change doctors - maybe "Dr. Nick" from the Simpsons?

Hmmm, I wonder if any of that scenario will make its way into this game? I gave it to Enigma Nova along with a synopsis of how and why I built the map the way I did. The idea was to a certain extent the same as the way I believe this game is going to be set up.
Since this game is probably gonna be SMAC, then I'll choose Believers.....

I don't think so...

Gaian - HongHu
Hive - Lord Raptor
Uni - Enigma_Nova - of course he needs the newbie faction
Morgan - Chaunk
Sparta - AVAILABLE
Believer - Darsnan
PK - AVAILABLE

Hercules and Smacksim to fight amongst themselves for sparta and pk I think.

And D, yeah I will change Doctors shortly as I'm moving house at the weekend

[Kody]

Okay I'll start the map tonight.

Bear Baiting 101 it will be.

Pods off and I'll give a slightly faster start than normal so the game won't drag.

[smacksim]

Hercules, I'll take either PKs or Spartans. I've been playing a lot of Spartans recently, so my preference would be the PKs, for a change, but I'm happy for whichever faction.

(How's that for fighting over them Chaunk?)

-Smack

[Chaunk]

It's a bit disapointing really... But then, we do want to cooperate to take down 'nigma

[Enigma_Nova]

I'm surprised BinTravkin hasn't shown up...

Bear in mind, Kody, that at least 4 of these people will be allied against me from the start, probably 5.
They'll ignore the fact that they'll have to kill each-other after I'm dead.

They'll probably enjoy Darsnan and Chaunk taking the hill top, only to be defeated by them later.
Players are terribly single-minded whenever I am one of their opponents.

Depends on just how strong your Uni's are made by Kody. Too strong, and yeah, we're ALL gonna be gunning for you. Too weak, and we may decide that "quibbling 'mongst ourselves" is more important than knocking you off your "throne"....
Me, I'll vote for the "too strong". Maybe give you infiltration and a few satelites just to camouflage your advatage somewhat as well. You can then watch how each of us plays turn by turn.....

Actually it'll probably be my Believing Shock Troops, Lord Raptor's Hive hordes, and Colonel Hercules elite soldiery (all funded by the very benevolent CEO Chaunk) that will be doing the damage.....

[Kody]

I've got a few balancing tactics planned out. To make it easier for Enigma to defend himself. Also making it harder for him to strike other people early.

[Enigma_Nova]

NW with the 'disguise' Dars.
Camoflage doesn't work if you say "Hey, look here!"

What about Smacksim? He wants a piece of me.
HongHu's in for revenge, too.

[Hercules]

Yep Spartan's will do just fine.
