PTW Democracy Game?

GhengisFarb™ · August 6, 2002, 21:54

When PTW comes out is there the possiblity of a PTW Democracy game?

Only instead of interest groups, Each civ would be its own democracy game and Members could end up switch civs throughout gameplay. I don't how we work it, but it would be cool if members were tied to cities and had to put input into whatever Civ group controlled their city.

In ideas, has this already been brought up somewhere else, etc.......

I'll play. You're talking about a multiplayer democracy game right?

you'd need some way to make "private" forums, wouldn't you?

That's what I was wondering, otherwise other civs would spy on you.

That is the way it is being handled for the Civ II MP Democracy game. The Apolyton Team has a private forum here

if we were to create a PTW Democracy game with multiple factions in Apolyton itself, would you make some private forums for us?

Perhaps we could have a Demo game against Civ Fanatics?

mwaf · August 7, 2002, 07:08

Yeah, versus CivFanatics would be great.
But we would be needed to constantly watch out for spies... and double-spies

A multiplayer demo game would make steal-world map and military plans much more concrete than it is now.

That would be very interesting...

you mean worth the 257423589547891258923159 gold it costs?

Adagio · August 7, 2002, 14:19

Would this mean, we are ONE civ, and CivFanatics are ONE civ? Or do we (and they) make several smaller groups, divided into several Civs?

I think it'll be more fun to have groups of 5 people per Civ, instead of groups of 500 people per Civ...

Yeah, I agree. Maybe we could have some kind of tournement, where members get their teams of 3-5 people together and play a game and then we have semi-finals and finals based on the final civ score of previous games.

HazieDaVampire · August 7, 2002, 18:54

we could have the leader of the civ to try and get one of his people to gain access to the rivals forums!

I'm not sure if I missed your point or if you missed my point. But what I meant is that we could have a spy to steal the world map and unit locations (read: the savegame) by, for instance, bribing someone at CFC to give it to us

Sort of like HazieDaVampire suggested.

Nikolai · August 8, 2002, 06:23

Mmmmmm.... Spies and dubble-spies, and traitors, and... This sure looks promising!

And, of course, we then also need a secret agency, right?

"Hey pal, you trust me right? yes Good, can I borrow the world map, just for a second? yes Thanks...wait, I can't see that good without my glasses, I'll just go get them, brb.

I'm back, here's your map. thanks, but how come it's black and white now? It is? Damn, that copy machine can't make color copies...ehmmm...I mean, I don't know what happened...I guess I just...ehmmm...dropped the color on the flor...and...ehmmm...yes, that's what happened..."

hi ,

intresting , .....

we could even set up "nations" that play against each other

have a nice day

Darkworld Ark · August 8, 2002, 11:22

I call god figure of the nation of "Adalis"!

Adagio · August 8, 2002, 13:15

So how is the mood? Should there be a Apolyton vs CivFanatcis or should there be small groups (of about 5 people)...or both?

We could maybe do a poll, about a month before PtW will be released...

hi ,

cool

, may the best ones get the prize , we need a prize or so if we where to fight other site's , ....

we could also set-up small nations , each having 5 or 10 players , times 24 this gives 120-240 players , ....

very soon they shall need large game servers , ....
it might even become the largest MP game in the world

have a nice day

Hagbart · August 8, 2002, 17:24

It would be cool to play a demo game Civfanatics vs. Apolyton.

Spiffor · August 8, 2002, 18:23

One Apolyton Civ vs one Civfanatics Civ would enchant me. How could it be, having dozens of people trying to outsmart other dozens of people ?
Do you imagine the level in civving it'd bring ?

DarkCloud · August 8, 2002, 18:49

Apoly v. Civfanatics would be great!
The only problem, as mentioned before, would be spies... But PM's would solve some of that problem

Seens a little small, I'd say maybe 30 people for nation at the least.

How about calling it: Mini-Democracy game? I think it'll be more fun to have 16 Civs with 5-10 people per Civ, instead of 2 Civs with 500+ people per Civ

GhengisFarb™ · August 9, 2002, 16:56

Let's see we could have 3 Apolyton teams, 3 CFC teams, maybe some smaller groups could have a team.

It could easily end up with say 3 Aployton teams pounding the last surviving CFC team. Apolyton and CFC could be culture groups.

Prize could be that the losing site has to call itself "Not (insert winning sites name)" for a week.

Inverse Icarus · August 9, 2002, 17:50

I'd say not to make a "democracy game" in the same respect as the one we have now. Having multiple Apolytonian Nations would be mroe fun, and i could kick those culture-monkies out of my nation!

that would be hillarious. maybe we could make it so the losing team has to have a "[site name] sucks at PTW" at the end of every post in the forums

OPD · August 9, 2002, 20:46

Within-poly teams of 5-7 would be great.

It would probably lead to less posts in the stratergy forum though.
