Arrrr!

Yet another faction that could just use a couple players and not need to be fully populated.

One gets to be Captain and the other First Mate.

It makes it so that somebody who knows the game well can make up a balanced force against all the player factions rather than all of us voting in factions that may unbalance the game in favor of the played factions.

I think, if those including me, who voted for Data Angels, Gaians, could revote then it would be the Pirates. Then again there are still a good few days left in this poll, Sinder Roze may pull through yet. Shows you my quandary.
Maybe between the, say 4 or 5 winners of this poll we do another poll with just those 4 or 5 winners with everybody understanding that only the top three will be played by players.

((He who would really like to play as pirates.))

Personally, I like the idea of 4 Human factions rather than 3 - and I even have a couple of reasons.[list=1][*]Even if the CMN beefs up the AI players (and I think that should be done too), they are generally hopeless against decent players, let alone teams of probably better than decent players. They (the AI factions) end up just providing free bases and other goodies to the lucky humans who happen to be in the right locations. While there are some fun things that can be done with them diplomatically, they are generally boring and not "fair" with their largesse. Therefore, the fewer the better.[*]Since we are talking about a PBEM, there will be various alliances between the factions; if there are only 3 factions, it will of necessity be 2 against 1, which isn't very much fun. 4 or more factions make for more reasonable alliances.[*]The four factions that have been bandied about (Hive, University, Cyborgs and Pirates) sound like a good, balanced set of factions; just 3 of them would seem sort of incomplete.[*]While I would favor the Hive over the Pirates, I'd rather play on the Pirates than see the game with only the other 3.[/list=1]

I hope you are planning to play on transcend.

I saw turnaround times mentioned of 24 hours (per individual team turn) and 1 turn per week (everybody taking their turn in each week). It may take longer - even the second version is only 2 days to take the turn - if we are to have fun with the internal faction dynamics, it might require more time. Also whenever any important negotiations are going on, they would not only need to be discussed between factions, but likely also within factions too. In the beginning things might go quickly (at least once everyone settled into the mechanics and/or delegated single individuals to take the turns without consultation), but it won't be long before things slow down (once everyone meets everyone else).

i think that's given, seeing as we crushed the AI so badly last time
as for turnaround, yes, it probably should be increased as the game progresses.

Yes, FlameFlash, no more five posts in a row. I mean, if this continues, you will have more posts than I have. And I can't let that happen if I want to end up in the Poly Top 100 next Newyear.

So sue me... do you realize how difficult it is to not hit reply with quote when at work and lacking the time to type all the extra code?

All I can say is: many many thanks.

Ditto - let's all reconsider a moment. I voted 3 factions, but I'd change that to a "banana" in retrospect as I'm no longer strongly in favor of one or the other. Indeed

It seems stuck at 25 voters: I hope this isn't going to be the case final total.

But if it is so be it.

Well, remember how many people came in and out of the last game? How many are really active in the CivII, CivIII, and other Demo games?

I suppose Debating, Rp'ing and voting if you're a lurker.

Even lurkers contribute from time to time with sensible views

So, are we basically set now for a four-team game?

Has anybody PMed MarkG to ask about getting those private forums set up within these?

i dont think so, but we can wait a while. we first need a sign up thread for each faction, and for that number of players poll to end

EDIT: that poll has ended. what do we need now, just a rules and difficulty poll?
