Good -- I prefer directed research as well BUT I would play a blind research game if that was what was on offer (I think it could be fun trying to cope with going down really crappy tech linesYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

Hmm, I was convinced that Flubber, Trotsky, rsfarrell and myself made 3 people so far for this game. And I'm doing a degree in maths....
All that's left then is to choose factions and get a CMN?
Trotsky - ?
Flubber - ?
Setroc - Gaians
rsfarrel - ?
Girly girl factions not required...Comment

I want something different so I won't play one of my "favorites". Give me one of the Pirates or Angels or CyconYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

I suggested:
In about that order.In with:
Lal/Zak/Morgan or Datatech."While there is an underclass, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free." -- Eugene V. Debs.Comment

May I pick Lal?Comment

actually, come to think of it, with Gaians I'll probably be spending time trying to knock other people out of FM. I'm going to rethink, and choose angels or drones.
Edit: if you'd rather I didn't take one of the high power factions, ie. drones, especially with their industry, just remember that I suck without my beloved planned/police state

In fact, I will play Drones. Sigh, i guess it will have to be another PBEM where I explore a faction that isn't top-tier.Comment

Can I just make a point that you're playing a Co-operative victory in a 4 player game? Biggest 3 players pact, vote one of themselves Supreme Leader, backpatting and tea all round.
Might need to make a house rule about number of pacts. Or turn off diplo victory.Comment

Meanwhile there's a thread in general section where most ppl have agreed the Drones are either 1st or 2nd most powerfulOriginally posted by Setroc

Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.Comment

Yeah, I'd consider them the most powerful on paper (though personally, I've never played any faction as successfully as the Hive). When I said another PBEM, I meant a PBEM other than this.Originally posted by Lazerus

I wasn't aware co-op on 4player games is usually a problem. If 3 players team up they might be able to win the game easily, but they will all lose IRL. That said, if people think a rule of max 2 people for co-op victory is in order, then I'd be happy with that.Originally posted by Senethro

Why not play with only 3 people and a permanent unbreakable Pact set by the CMN?
