ending the game? - Page 2

GeneralTacticus · April 9, 2003, 08:23

Drop the brackets.

/me is still testing.

Kassiopeia · April 9, 2003, 08:45

color=whatever is nearly as evil as speaking Finnish

Actually using it does not boost one's evilness however, ESPECIALLY if your name is TKG or Lemmy.

begin code



/me slaps colour-users around a bit with a hefty fish

end code

/me slaps colour-users around a bit with a hefty fish

Edit - and it is NOT a "tag", it's used like the describe action -function on IRC. Heh, indeed, one of the first comments after Markos introduced it was "too much IRC Markos?"

aah..too bad

Back on-topic:
Yes to ending the game.

DeathByTheSword · April 9, 2003, 11:43

and yes to a second game...!

/me tries to /me command also and likes the /me commmand /me knew about the /me command before this thread but because all of the talk about the /me command wanted to show he could do it also

That would be

Hmmmm......a good point, though I'd think with smaller teams, it'd be easier to get some of the more experienced PBEM players into the gig.

Going to have to agree there... I mean, I do a lot of PBEM games... but this DG just takes up way too much time IMHO which is why I became so inactive.

Drogue · April 9, 2003, 14:57

The problem with PBEM, is that you have to do orders for one turn, every day or so, or it slows up a lot. I was thinking maybe multi-player IP, done at a set time each week, like turnchat, but smaller map. Although that has it's problems.

yep. they did that for the civ3 PTW demo game.

anyways, though i'd love to do that, we'd never have enough people. also, RftP is the first MP game i've ever played, so you'd have to explain how the other ways work, drug.

We could always post a thread in the PBEM forums, asking if there is interest in a pbem acdg.

like people not showing up

Drogue · April 9, 2003, 15:32

True. That is one problem

I think that's a good idea... I know I'd be able to be more active if it was a smaller group... this thing stunk of the free-rider problem.

Hercules · April 10, 2003, 06:10

I favour the idea of teams based on that proposition.

I suppose there would be :
Capitalists
Left/socialists
Green/environmentalists
Fundamentalists
Uncommitted/neutral

FlameFlash · April 10, 2003, 21:18

/me nods.

That's what I was thinking.

And if we enacted SMAX as well there might be Labor Rights Activists, etc. Though not everybody has SMAX, right?

Jamski · April 11, 2003, 03:03

It will be hard enough to get enough people, without dragging SMAX into the equation too. Having said that, if each team elects a "democratic dictator" and a deputy then at least there'll always be someone to play the turns, as long as they have the power to act without asking the rest of the team

Actually - this would be ideal for Yang in a RP situation. A non-democratic faction

I can think of a few peöple thät wöüld be up for that.

/me *WoA shows that he can do it now*

Jamski · April 11, 2003, 03:04

Nearly, eh?

FlameFlash · April 11, 2003, 10:20

Nearly...

I like the sound of that, actually!

Lal would still have a Cabinet, Deidre would have the THA (tree-huggers' association) (okay, something much more politically correct), Morgan would have a Board of Directors, Yang might just have The Party, Zarkov would have a Think Tank, and Mariam would have a Panel of Popes?

Not unless she's Catholic, something like "the Brethren" or "the Elders" might be more appropriate

... not that it matters, it's unlikely there'll be enough people.

FlameFlash · April 11, 2003, 11:45

Don't have to continue to frown on the idea! Just three-four people in each one, as long as at least two are active would be enough for a good RP experiance.

Drogue · April 11, 2003, 14:51

Exactly, like a normal PBEM, but with more interation, and therefore, more fun ~~and higher postcount~~

Archaic · April 11, 2003, 23:16

Sounds good here. When do we get started? Got to advertise this and get people in afterall.

Micha · April 12, 2003, 04:58

Hm, I like that idea! Count me in, perhaps as Yang, Zhak, Miriam or Deidre? (the teams, not the leaders...)

Although I´d like to experience a dictator´s view on the world...

Drogue · April 12, 2003, 15:18

I would obviously want to be a part of Deirdre's team

What would the CCCP do? If we use SMAX they could be the Drones, but I for one don't have SMAX

How will you do that? Threads in smac/general and CGN or something else?

Drogue · April 12, 2003, 16:16

I would say do that. post on as many SMAC/X/General CIV forums as possible, asking if people want to join. We could get at least 10/20 extra people through that IMHO.

Hercules · April 13, 2003, 07:46

I would be in the Deirdre's faction of course.

The interesting question does arise. How would the Hive and Miriam faction teams conduct their deliberations.

I suppose one can fundamentalist but still democratic. It would be interesting to participate in their discussions.

GeneralTacticus · April 13, 2003, 07:59

Easy. Everyone on the team is at the very top, the High Council or whatever you call it.

EDIT: Or they could always do it the same way we at the RP Team do it in the PTW DG.

Hercules · April 13, 2003, 08:59

Well explain

GeneralTacticus · April 13, 2003, 09:26

The method used by the RP Team (or the one that was used until we became a Monarchy, anyway) was that you had one person who was the Despot, who made all the big decisions and had basically unlimited power, and you had everyone else, who carried out his orders and offered advice. If the people decided to get rid of him, someone would start a coup by posting a poll, and if more than half the team members voted to get rid of the despot, he'd be out. If not, the coup supproters would likely all be executed (that is, they'd have to get new characters and couldn't start new coups for another week). As it happened, though, we never needed to launch a coup.

Method · April 13, 2003, 13:31

i asked trip to give us an explanation of how these things work with so few people. he said he would but yet no sign of him

/me brutally murders trip

Kirov · April 13, 2003, 16:05

I'm up for it. But what would that "neutral" mean? Just realpolitik without ideology? I'm generally not interested in partaking in any concrete faction, but then, I wouldn't like to be any machiavellan, either. So where shall I sign?
