Unofficial: Winning and Related Topics.

Method · April 11, 2003, 21:00

since i'm not the DoFA, i can't exactly organise the official poll for this, but whatever. it's not only about winning

Question 1: Shall we win by diplomatic victory ASAP?

yes
no

Question 2: Should we start another ACDG?

Yes, I'd play again
no, i wouldn't play again

Question 3: if yes, what type?[list=a][*]Regular (all as one faction, like this one)[*]Teams in PBEM style like the Civ3: PTW DG[*]Teams in some other MP format[*]I already told you, I DON'T WANT TO PLAY AGAIN!

[/list=a]

since this is an unofficial poll, i don't have to have an expiry date. might as well just let it run i suppose.

ColdWizard · April 11, 2003, 21:08

Q1. Yes, let's win!
Q2. Yes, if...
Q3. ... it's another regular game

and if there's Light, Fluffy Pancakes

Method · April 11, 2003, 21:20

.....ColdWizard, since when were you any part of the SMACDG?

EDIT: BTW TKG, seeing as I'm on 56k for the weekend, is there any chance you or someone else could post up an unofficial poll on peoples preferences Re: SMAC/SMAX, and on which factions they'd prefer for both Standard and Team DG games?

GeneralTacticus · April 12, 2003, 06:47

Since March, at the very least...

Archaic · April 12, 2003, 06:51

.......oh. ^^;;; Guess I can blame my not noticing simply on not ever going near Lal's. ^^;

Hercules · April 12, 2003, 07:30

Q1 yes
Q2 yes
Q3 Pbem style

Fluffy pancakes and xenobrew

GeneralTacticus · April 12, 2003, 07:31

Yes to 1 & 2, and I voted for both in 3; I don't really care which one we do.

sure, i can probably get to it. i'm always looking for a chance to ~~spam~~ help the faction

DeathByTheSword · April 12, 2003, 12:32

Q1 = Yes
Q2 = yes
Q3 = dont care that much

and light, fluffy BUNNIES!

Drogue · April 12, 2003, 15:49

Yes, Yes, PBEM, Light Fluffy Pancakes (stacked and covered in Maple Syrup

). Certainly NO Xenobrew

Hercules · April 13, 2003, 08:27

In securing faction support for Supreme leader how far can we go with gifts. tech etc to other factions. Does that also need polled.

GeneralTacticus · April 13, 2003, 08:30

I don't see the point. We won't be able to bribe them into voting for us, and in order to win we should be able to do it alone.

lucky22 · April 13, 2003, 16:03

No can do for a second game, but this was very enjoyable.

Jamski · April 14, 2003, 05:28

Yes
Yes
Yes (?)

All the extra options including

-Jam

MrWhereItsAt · April 14, 2003, 08:12

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. SMAX!

FlameFlash · April 14, 2003, 09:48

Not everybody has SMAX though

Kassiopeia · April 14, 2003, 10:01

I don't think I'll be able to participate in a PBEM version of the game, at least in the beginning

FlameFlash · April 14, 2003, 10:12

Why not Kass?

Method · April 14, 2003, 20:07

anyways, this seems like the appropriate place to post this ATM....

what does everyone think of archiving this entire forum once we start our new game? on the one hand, we wouldn't have so much clutter or old threads in the way, but then again, we couldn't bump old threads or keep old conversations going in, say, the CCCP thread for example. and did they do this with the old C2DGs?

GeneralTacticus · April 15, 2003, 03:41

They haven't done it (yet, anyway) with the Civ III DG.

And just a suggestion regarding what format - would it be feasible to do a PBEM DG and a regular one?

Drogue · April 15, 2003, 14:26

I would think no to doing both, it would be hard to keep track of, much work, and people will get confused between the two, IMHO. However, I am all for archiving. We can create a new CCCP thread, and such like, and it will be a chance to start a fresh, which would also be good for people coming in new, and not knowing the old DG.

Hercules · April 15, 2003, 14:48

Re Two games in parallel. I am open minded on this. It would be a lot of work.

The regular DG could act as a central meeting place because with the team DG most of the discussion would be in private groups, maybe even different chat sites. The regular DG could also act as a recruiting ground for new players.

Even if we only play team SMAXDG surely there will the need for a neutral/ gossipy venue to lend some sense of cohesion. Also a neutral place to advise and inform new recruits about the situation. I see a big role here for our media outlets.

Re Archiving. There is a tremendous amount of good stuff there and some great discussions but not all of it needs archived.

I mean we don't need to archive all the polls or turnchat logs or Gov orders.

FlameFlash · April 15, 2003, 19:13

Two games in parallel... I know I'd only be able to participate in one... and the PBEM one would be easier to participate in.

Method · April 17, 2003, 20:30

well, much as a PBEM game would be fun, i don't think we'd have enough people, and it'd just turn into a regular PBEM

FlameFlash · April 17, 2003, 21:16

I kinda doubt it... but it might if too many people got lazy and just let one person run each show...

Method · April 17, 2003, 21:37

well, consider how many people we have now. 15 here said they'd play again. even if we managed to get 15 people, there's 7 teams of 2 people (which wouldn't be Demo Game-ish. not by a long shot), or 3 teams of 5. that *might* work, but how good would it be with only 3 teams? also, of those 15 people, how many do you expect to be active?

sure, i'd love to play a PBEM game, i'm just worried about numbers, that's all

ColdWizard · April 18, 2003, 10:59

and if it's a smax game i (probably) won't be able to play

Jamski · April 18, 2003, 11:26

We could play with two teams perhaps? One Green team, and one FM
Could be worth considering??
