Sdc 5

We value your input here at SLeague, but the final decision will, naturally, be made by WarVoid, Techumseh, and/or yours truly.

WarVoid · January 31, 2003, 22:05

WTH is CowboyNeal?!?!

I'm partial to WWII setting scenarios because I *KNOW* we'll get a lot of submissions due to the simple fact we have such a large resource compendium available for it.

However, as a hobbyist writer of alternate history and a huge fan of Harry Turtledove, i'm kinda rooting for that category.

Alternate history gets my vote. It triggers the imagination tremendously... "what if" history is made for the civ2 engine!

fairline · February 1, 2003, 05:04

Voted for famous battles, although I think the alternative history could be fun.

What's the 'Russians in the Americas' all about?

Michael Daumen · February 1, 2003, 10:01

And what does "France" entail? A map with France? A scenario where a human must play a French tribe? A conehead scenario?

Cifer Almasy · February 1, 2003, 12:30

WW2 but a little different (as I told in my thread noone replies on)

St Leo · February 1, 2003, 14:34

What's the 'Russians in the Americas' all about?

Soviet Invasion of the US, Russian Alaskan Empire, New York's Little Russia, etc.

And what does "France" entail?

History of France or an excerpt thereof.

mordhiem · February 1, 2003, 15:40

Famous battles or Alt Hist get my vote.

klesh · February 1, 2003, 16:13

Hey someone else voted Cowboy Neal!

-FMK.

yaroslav · February 1, 2003, 19:38

Pre-Industrial Asia gets my vote

DarthVeda · February 2, 2003, 02:05

I already have my entry ready to start production if we do Alternate history... I've been planning this one for about four or five years now

jim panse · February 2, 2003, 07:07

my vote goes to alternate history

Shaka Naldur · February 2, 2003, 10:40

tactical famous battles

the only one out there is Gettysburg!

Boco · February 5, 2003, 21:26

Have the masses spoken? Is the triumverate close to a decision? Will we have 37 entries (the number of votes at this point)?

DarthVeda · February 6, 2003, 11:13

Since it's in the lead I say we just go with Alternate History...

Case · February 6, 2003, 11:36

Leo, where's the traditional 'poly banana option?

(and don't say that it's CowboyNeal. You cannot substitute anything for the banana option.

)

Oh, and I voted 2 humans, tactical historical battles and WW2. I suspect that somewhere in there I've backed the winner

mordhiem · February 6, 2003, 12:05

As I've said before, 2 humans, tactical battle or alt. hist will suit me fine. From a design standpoint, I think that a simple human vs human tactical battle would be easiest to create, but that of course isn't the deciding factor.

St Leo · February 6, 2003, 12:21

Since it's in the lead I say we just go with Alternate History...

I am sure WarVoid and/or Techumseh will seriously consider that option prior to making their final decision.

(and don't say that it's CowboyNeal. You cannot substitute anything for the banana option. )

If you don't like CowboyNeal, I'm willing to go with Mu as the wildcard option in the next poll.

Oh, and I voted 2 humans, tactical historical battles and WW2. I suspect that somewhere in there I've backed the winner

Tsk, tsk, tsk. You were supposed to vote for the candidates you like best and not the ones who are likely to win. I guess it's true what they say; people get the scenario design contest they deserve.

mordhiem · February 6, 2003, 13:03

Tactical Battles of Alternate History Between 2 Human Players anyone?

atomant · February 10, 2003, 06:41

french i think refers to a slightly tounge in cheek post i did on the discussion board relating the the sdc 5.....

Panda · February 10, 2003, 16:12

dang, how did alt.hist get ahead

DarthVeda · February 11, 2003, 18:18

So when we starting this?

techumseh · February 11, 2003, 19:43

Scenario League Magazine will host SDC#5. Details will be included in the next issue, probably in about two weeks. We're still discussing things with St. Leo, but it's looking like an alternate history theme of some kind. There's not much support for the code names, so that will probably be changed. Otherwise, we have volunteers for judges and so on.

St Leo · February 11, 2003, 23:32

dang, how did alt.hist get ahead

The trick was in making the WW2 option as well hidden as possible. It's almost as brilliant as using butterfly ballots.

DarthVeda · February 12, 2003, 00:13

*demands recount*

kobayashi · February 12, 2003, 02:11

i think the poll is flawed as many of the choices are overlapping and should have been options

examples

like two player doesn't conflict with famous tactical battles

unconventional design doesn't conflict with alternate history

pre-industrial asia doesn't conflict with map supplied

St Leo · February 12, 2003, 18:39

i think the poll is flawed as many of the choices are overlapping and should have been options

Uh, they were options.

opps, I thought the only options were -

Option: Allow Existing Unreleased Scenarios 8 17.78%
Option: Keep Codename System 7 15.56%
Option: Don't Bother Us With Token Polls Again

too bad I can't vote again.

DarthVeda · February 24, 2003, 14:42

Hey can we get some response out of this? Has a decision been made yet?

St Leo · February 24, 2003, 20:34

The decision might be announced with the next SLM, whenever that is released.
