Pre-thread for polls about options

[Whoha]

i meant which version of it should we use, its up in the air whether or not we will pick creative.

we will choose the picks we want, including creative if thats the case, and the pick the settings.

[bakalov]

I suggest that everybody posts a race, then we choose the most common picks from these posts. Finally we will only have to adjust the picks to zero with one or two polls.

[Gilgamensch]

Instead of using different polls we could go another way as being used sometimes in OT for example:

Every citizen is granted 100 points, which he can distribute freely between the picks, another 100 for the settings. Out of the outcome we have then some run-off possibilities. The points mentioned here are just an example.

But let's say:

Harry decides
30 pre-warp
30 8 players
20 organic rich
20 huge

Whoha decides:
20 quick-start(?)
60 4 players
20 small

bakalov decides
90 huge
10 8 players

this would leed to 110 points for huge against 20 for small, so we would have already decided upon the size and if we find information conflicting we could run run-off polls.........

how you think about this way?

[wervdon]

I would say:

Definately huge:
One of the advantages of a demo game is there are more people to manage things and more time without it just being tedious. Go with the largest universe possible then is my take.

Difficulty: At least normal.

Other settings: Don't care.


Race picks: Hmmm, I'd prefer non-creative. I'm not trying to maximize our chances to win the game, but our chances to have
to make choices which is part of what a single player demo game is about. In a multiplayer one, then it becomes more about which team is going to win in which case I'd be pro-creative since it obviously makes us more likely to win in a huge galaxy.

Other than that, I don't care for race picks either really.

Here's my vote:

Prewarp 30
Creative 30
Five players 20
Large galaxy 10
Feudal gov 10

Harry you are a bit quick........ I would like to start also yesterday......

That was just an idea (till now), I think we still have to think a bit about the amount of points (might be to unbalanced or whatever), but looks like at least one person likes it

[Harry Seldon]

I just wanna play.

[Gilgamensch]

Same for me........ even if it just means in the moment shouting at our officials (still can't find my copy(s) : )

[Harry Seldon]

Underdogs may have it. Tried there?

It is too big to be stored for downloads. 350mb or so, no site will like to see that getting hit.

[Whoha]

ok, its gone, and I don't really use email.

[Whoha]

Also are we about ready to start a poll? I think we should just go with government first myself.

[Gilgamensch]

Thanks Whoha,

you can remove it.

By the way you could have used e-mail

[Gilgamensch]

I will start another threat (if nobody minds) tomorrow, where I'll be using the point system to 'pre'-select the picks.

Everyone agrees?

[bakalov]

That will be ok, but I will vote on Monday ;-)
