Name = default

and the players are:
( in this order)
STYOM
La Fayette
Fearless Mage
Scouse
Messer Niccolo
Mercatia

Let the games begin

Messer Niccolò · May 22, 2002, 19:16

FM, can I suggest you to re-post the order (the one in the other thread) we should follow?
Who's playing first?
You or STYOM?
Never did a deity game but I've tried King w/out big problems so, since we are playing with LaFayette and the Gits...

I won't bet a $ on the AI...

...waiting for my turn with patience

Six Thousand Year Old Man · May 22, 2002, 23:52

Count me in.

I believe the order thus far was:

Fearless Mage
La Fayette
STYOM
Scouse Gits (one or more??)
Messer Niccolo

Any of the settings are fine with me. Fearless, since you set this up, you can choose the civ and the titles...

Play some turns, upload the save here, and I'm sure La Fayette or whoever will jump in. Standard etiquette dictates that if you can't play your turn, to post a message saying so so that the game doesn't get bogged down.

STYOM

Scouse Gits · May 23, 2002, 03:22

Gentlemen - have we not forgotten the Lady Mercatia?
I'm in SG[1] - (2) has yet to express any interest...

SG[1]

p.s. (in edit) Fearless_Mage it would help if you could edit your first post to show the play order once it has been established...

Messer Niccolò · May 23, 2002, 03:33

for SG [1]... may I sack Rhodes if the Marquis doesn't show up?

Scouse Gits · May 23, 2002, 04:34

My Macchiavellian friend, please be my guest...

On a more serious note, can we clarify the ground rules. both La Fayette and myself are Uni Lecturers (Lecherers) by occupation and (at least in my case) interfering old farts by preference - thus we enjoy partaking in inter-regnum banter of the sort, "Which certifiable moron is building a Factory on a one square island with only 1 shield/turn production!?" We think of this as being 'instructive' and 'constructive criticism' - others see it as flaming - such is most decidedly NOT our intention -- I got the impression from the previous thread that most here would like to view this game as a fun learning experience - in which case our interregnum banter might be of some use -- but if the general consensus is that we should shut up - so be it -- I'll PM LaFayette with my whinges instead

Oh and a small point of SG (succession game not scouse git) etiquette - please save at the end of a turn before hitting the end-of-turn switch - this allows your successor to re-arrange cities/production/revolutions etc before he/she start their turn properly ...

Let the battle commence - when's my turn!!

SG[1]

Straybow · May 23, 2002, 04:53

2.42? I'm in.

SG[1]

This is important.

I'm always open to 'constructive criticism'

La Fayette · May 23, 2002, 05:18

1) I am definitely open to constructive criticism (both giving and receiving

).
2) I think that you shouldn't close the list of players before Mercatia has said yes or no (remember that she chose the

vet spy

for her avatar).

Straybow · May 23, 2002, 06:04

Your Nordic bride shall remind your thick skull of your wedding vows if she sees you making goo-goo eyes at the young Apolytonettes…

-Jrabbit · May 23, 2002, 07:43

My Mac habit prevents participation

, but not learning

. .I shall watch with great interest.

Have fun!

Julius Brenzaida · May 23, 2002, 10:11

Count me in too

Is it 2.42 or MGE

(doesn't matter : I've got both of them)

We should invent a civ rather than take an existing one and found cities with great names, like in our best succession games. Gits, do you remember the big city "Julius the Moan"

It was London that you renamed that way

Scouse Gits · May 23, 2002, 10:18

I remember it well ...
We cursed MGE - since you cannot (as you can in 2.42) rename a city once it has been investigated - we were going to gift you Berne

SG[1]

p.s. (in edit) and this game is to be 2.42

Awe I didn't think Fearless forgot me... I just figured I wasn't nearly skilled enough to play at diety...but a promise is a promise if you all want me I will play my hardest!!

Unfortunately my Nordic bride couldn't care less since we got a divorce 30 years ago

.
Goo-goo eyes I make at all the vet spies I meet when playing civ2, and - believe me - I meet a lot (except in the Rome scenario where I meet Roman legions...: no goo-goo eyes then

)

OK, fire away, Fearless. I'll play 10 turns - I don't want to take too many turns starting out. Also, if you decide to include Mercatia, Straybow and Julius B, who are pounding on the door of this succession game

, we may not want to take too many turns each. (8 players x 10 turns= 5 plays each, assuming the game doesn't end by early conquest)

STYOM

Fearless_Mage · May 24, 2002, 01:47

ok heres the file.

Scouse Gits · May 24, 2002, 03:00

Andy: Information Systems = 'Computing with Attitude'
and
IIRC No

Fearless: I really think that it would be of benefit to include the other supplicants.

SG[1]

Messer Niccolò · May 24, 2002, 03:49

Wow, I see that the things are going on!

I agree with STYOM, 10 turns should be ok - at least I can't do much damage (except in case I should try to raze Rhodes

) - and, FearlessMage, could you please edit your first post with the exact order plus a little sign near the name of who is playing?

Fearless_Mage · May 24, 2002, 04:21

ok ok i'll do it now

Fearless_Mage · May 24, 2002, 04:28

it is done.........

Fearless_Mage · May 24, 2002, 04:30

"I really think that it would be of benefit to include the other supplicants"

what the hell does that mean?

Sorry if its offencise.

Scouse Gits · May 24, 2002, 04:36

I propose that this venture becomes the antidote to the Democracy Game. The following conditions apply to a commie succession game:

1) There is a ruling Politburo of "Old Farts" (Thinks…we need some older players

)
2) If Julius moans then he's sent to a Gulag for some "retraining".
3) Cities are frequently renamed by the Presidium to reflect who is in/out of favour with the Central Committee. (Could be confusing with everywhere called Scouse Farts)
4) Any defectors who go over to the Democracy Game will be hunted and eliminated.
5) Comrade La Fayette runs the KGB...but one of his spies will always report to me

6) Gits are allowed to drink wine instead of vodka.

----------------------

SG(2) The people have spoken!

Messer Niccolò · May 24, 2002, 04:38

... err... could I have a "dacia" near Baku?

Messer Niccolò · May 24, 2002, 04:39

I also wonder hom many Gits will play in this succession?

Sorry if its offencise.

The "other supplicants" should be thge other people who have asked to join i.e. Mercatia, Straybow Julius... and so on

Fearless_Mage · May 24, 2002, 04:41

and rule 6) the game is inactive halfway through because of "test" etc.
