Actual Final Rules

CornMaster · September 18, 2002, 22:05

Here is the new final rules post. Please select your desired options below.

If you vote No Bribing....you can still vote for a "If Bribing" category. Just incase bribing wins somehow.

Also...for extra security...please post your selections below.

That way if someone messes with the poll we will still have a useable record.

I voted for:
2x1x
No Bribing
Large Map
King
No Cheats
7 Civs

Please vote at your earliest convience...as the poll closes in 3 days. (Just before the game starts.

)

PLEASE post what you voted for. Then we can be sure it is genuine.

You see the problem....

3 written votes for 1x1x but only two actual votes. And 2 votes for 2x1x but only one written vote.

I think Pggar meant 2x1x....but I can't be sure.

Quite frankly, anything other than a small map will not EVER get finished.

2x1 production is nice, but can skew the game.

Playing on anything lower than King is an atrocity.

We MUST ENSURE that we all get even starts. 1 Settler, NO Techs!

NO BRIBING!!!

We are playing with a large map in the GC game. And it's progressing fine

It helps speed it up...to overcome large maps.

That's why I left off Chieftan.

Bah...minor detail. The CPU attempts to compinsate based on starting position. If your on an island....you get a boost of a few techs and maybe an extra settler. Perfectly fair if you ask me.

I'm not restarting the game 45 times because people don't like the starts....I'm not going at that.

Dell19 · September 19, 2002, 11:24

I voted for:
1x1x
Bribing only against the AI (They can still bribe us)
Large Map
Emperor
No Cheats
7 Civs

Flatlander Fox · September 19, 2002, 12:51

hehe

Give me two setts and the tech path to Monarchy and we'll see how long this game lasts. Or how quickly the whining starts.

It HAS TO BE EVEN. If not, there will be way too many problems.

Re Large Maps: how long do your turns take? I have played games on large maps where turns can take up to 1 1/2 hrs in the later stages. I don't want to see that!

Maybe 5-6 minutes a peace. Unless there are discussions taking place...then 15-20 minutes.

And there is WAR in our game.

JCP · September 19, 2002, 14:45

1x1x
bribe AI only
large map
deity
no cheats
6 civs

Flatlander Fox · September 19, 2002, 20:58

Then you are blessed. Ever read the History of the World threads?

Their games died due to long a$$ turns.

I would like to avoid that.

GaryNemo · September 20, 2002, 09:57

I voted for:
1x1x
No Bribing,
otherwise only against the AI (units & cities)
Small Map
King
No Cheats
7 Civs

When we finish the Small Map game, we might be so invigorated we would play another game on Small Map!

Sean Lindstrom · September 20, 2002, 20:07

1x1x
No Bribing (If Bribing Then: Bribe AI only)
Medium Map
King
No Cheats
6 Civs

About the map and starting conditions. Are we leaving this to chance? I think we'd all be more comfortable playing from a startup regulated by an outsider. Otherwise, there is a very good chance of one team being unfairly disadvantaged by blind luck.

CornMaster · September 21, 2002, 10:39

Well....we are starting the game in 6 hours.

So I'm going to sum up the votes now:
1x1x
No Bribing
Large Map
King
No Cheating
7 Civs

I expect all the players to be on an IM in 6 hours so we can start. People NOT directly playing should cooridnate with their teams, and find a private place to have Chats. (Or they can just do it via IM's.)

Thanks...and lets all have a good start!!!

Talar · September 22, 2002, 15:37

I didn't get here in time to vote, but I think most things look good (except that I would have preferred 1x1x).

EDIT: Now I get it

(after Corn explained the meaning of all the color bars and numbers to me

), 1x1x actually did win. Well, I have nothing to complain about then

GaryNemo · September 23, 2002, 08:46

I noticed in the feeder post at Gamecatcher that Black Clicking may be considered Cheating. But, it seems so innocent, such an easy temptation, or one might do it by accident. Here is starlifter's huge list of Cheats and analysis that we use at CFC Game Of The Month: Civ2 GOTM Techniques, Cheats, Rules, Discussion which allows Black Clicking.

Of course in Solitaire, bribing the AI is the way to go, but in MP we are not Bribing. Is there a thread that details what No Cheating means for the MSDG?

CornMaster · September 23, 2002, 09:48

Cheating (So Far):
------------------------------------------------------
Black Clicking (I like Black Clicking, but it see...

We will just have a poll.

Ren · September 24, 2002, 04:04

Goddamn it, can you please have longer time limits on these polls?

Zedd · September 25, 2002, 16:43

The Poll is closed and here are the winners.......

1x1x movement rate
No cheating!
No Bribing
Larg Land mass
King level game play
7 civilizations

I think we have done well and look forward seeing this world of ours.

Ren · December 1, 2002, 23:44

Sorry for the somewhat late reply, but how do you get "No bribing" out of 9-7 FOR ai bribing?
