There would be a few terms with conflicts, but the general idea does have merit.

And Term IV was only riding on the coat tells of term III's success!

I often found it fitting that Term III's parting act was to build Sun Tzu's.

I see so much fun... and as I was CP for term 3 & 4....

I must agree, Sun Tzu's was exceptional.

Pfffft within the first week of term IV we built Sistine's and captured the pyramids.

UnOrthOdOx · August 11, 2003, 12:34

Ha!

As if it was term IV's skill that placed them in a position of having countless Elites driving towards the Persians.

Face it, you were the clean up team, nothing more.

OPD · August 11, 2003, 13:05

lol

yeah you keep telling yourself that,
term III was only a 1 wonder term, we weren't even the top civ around untill term IV

GhengisFarb™ · August 11, 2003, 13:26

Oh no, I don't know that I want to be teamed with OPD, he named a city "whosinchargeofsettermovesanyway" don't you know?

And it was term IV people >ehem< who ramrodded you term III morons into going to war and generating the GL and then ramrodded you into building Sun Tzu which none of you term III morons wanted to do.............

But I love you anyway.

You could always call it "Terms of Endearment" and play two PTW teams, Term III vs Term IV with the people performing the jobs they had during those terms.

Six AI would be Persia, America, France, Germany, Greece and England.

Aggie · August 11, 2003, 14:06

Can I be SMC for both teams. I just be schitzo for the games. Thats always a good practice technique anyway, playing against ones' self. Of course Togas could double dip too.
Aggie

Arnelos · August 11, 2003, 16:10

Personally, I think Term 6 is my favorite, despite the little MPP incident

Term 6:

President Aggie
VP Togas
FAM Arnelos
DM E_T
SMC Thud

Yeah, that term definately rocked.

I certainly like the term I spent as President, but I honestly think I had the most fun in Term 6 with the group in the cabinet. I'm of the opinion that our group of four (Thud was never around) was just kickass:

Arnelos doing the diplomacy
E_T doing the micromanaging
Aggie doing the warmongering
Togas providing assistance whereever needed.

Yeah, that's probably my favorite term

UnOrthOdOx · August 11, 2003, 16:40

Term 6 was the first under the NewCon? Or was that 5?

Admittedly I was not around for much of 5 or 6. Was busy like I am now. I am only vaguely familiar with the MPP that you speak of as well.

I do recall having an issue with your SMC there, though.

Term 3 was a term of change. Despite all the rhetoric that term 4 is throwing out here, Term 3 was one where everything changed. After two terms of infighting and one highly contested election in Term 2, we set out and revolutionized how people saw the game and the government. For the first time there was a united government, and an organized leadership. Not to mention declaring war on France and kicking all 3 civs ass as Germany and Persia signed on. Oh, and the 24 hour presidency was something special. Good luck finding a MINUTE where MrWIA or myself were not watching the forum and responding to inquiries and questions from the public that term.

This left term 4 with nothing but a pathetic resistance in Persia after term 3 had already crushed their offensive move into our territory. Of course we bacame the leaders in Term 4, once they mopped up what little we left them of Persia, it was a given.

I do wish the later terms (after 4) had been a bit more aggressive though. We should have been in a position where any victory was easily possible. Securing Bananaba Major, killing off Greece and England would have certainly made that a reality, but that's what happens when the DIA get's hold of things I suppose...

Panzer32 · August 11, 2003, 17:31

hmm... seems like I joined a bit too late (mid term 4)

GhengisFarb™ · August 11, 2003, 18:39

We should probably recruit Hall of Fame ministers for the doubled positions. Uber Krux should take over one of the SMC positions.

I do agree with UnO on this and have said as much in previous threads, term 3 was the turning point. My evil attempts at rewriting history will be futile as long as UnOs around

But the success of Term III was because you followed the suggestions of the future members of Term IV. Term III would have been more sucessful if you listened more closely, grasshopper. And if MWIA wasn't so fond of the spacebar............

Yeah, this part's pretty much true.

Just once, I would like to be on Beta's team. My dream team: UnOrthO, Beta, History Guy, Arnelos, and myself.

We might not win, but the other teams would never be aware of that fact from the way we would distort the results......................

Nope. I don't believe in Demogames. I think their a waste of time and nothing but an excuse for spam.

I can't believe your still bringing that up.

If you had more concerned about what your actual job was rather than insisting that we move a load of cities 1 tile south or 1 tile north west then I wouldn't have had to ask.

Am the only one dying to be the first member of ND's new private forum?

Yeah Mr Farb was minister of imperial expansion in term 4. Not too serious a job you just have to decide where new cities go and give orders to move settlers there.

GhengisFarb™ · August 12, 2003, 08:18

What Mr OPD does not bring up is that I not only gave him TILE BY TILE instructions but ALSO MADE PICTURE AND ARROW IMAGES CAPTURED FROM THE GAME SO THAT EVEN THE MOST ILLITERATE PERSON ON EARTH COULD TELL where they were supposed to go.

Unfortunately, no one informed me OPD was legally blind and I did not have the ability to post my orders in braille on the internet.........................

Besides, Minister of Imperial Expansion is the coolest title ever created for demogames.

very true

, unlike the rest of you post

anyway here is the log from the chat mearly as a means to jog Farbs memory as to why the city had to be called that.

OPD> where does this stlr go?
Farb> wait before you do that disband apolyton and build another city 1 tile south.
OPD> WTF I'm not disbanding the capital quit telling me to do that.
Aggie> change all cities production to war chariots please
OPD> I'm not falling for that one again now where does this stlr go?
Farb> I've got an even better idea, disband all our cities and move them all 1 tile west, there well be a whole lot closer to the French and much better able to flip their cities.
OPD> damn it where does this stlr go.
Shiber> change to republic
OPD> no
Shiber> just do it you wuss
Farb> No wait disband all our cities with workers and add them all to our capital to make one super city, then disband that and move it 1 tile north.
OPD> whose in charge of settler moves anyway?
Godking> just build a city with the stlr and call it Shelbyville
OPD> ok but that name sucks
Godking> like you can think of a better one
OPD> I wouldn't have to if I knew who was in charge of settler moves.
Togas> before you do anything else sell WM to all other civs for 1g
Farb> no wait gift 10 workers to the germans then attack them and all the land we capture will be developed then disband all our cities and move them to where the german cities used to be.
OPD> "whosinchargeofsettlermovesanyway" built
Togas> thats a good idea and a nice use of game mechanics to gather information.
Godking> I agree
Shiber> me too, it's not at all an abuse of power to name a city that.

Naw, it would be more fun to make a simple PBEM between all of us.

Each would PUBLICLY post disinformation for the public to laugh at. It would be great.

terms 3, 4 and 6 in a pbem agianst each other? maybe even term 1 if Trips up for it?

you can join any team you like if you were around at the time?

UnOrthOdOx · August 12, 2003, 09:55

I was talking of the individuals in Ghengis' statement there.

Beta, Arnelos, Ghengis, History Guy and myself making a...'Balderdash' PBEM and publicly post lies. Pure lies. err, Information for everyone to laugh at.

Give awards for things like the Biggest Lie, Best Lie, Most Ridiculous lie, Best use of the Truth. Etc...

But, I wouldn't mind a 'best government' oriented game either. Course Term 3 would win hands down.

GhengisFarb™ · August 12, 2003, 12:53

Okay, if I had my wishes:

1) The Propoganda PBEM, with up to eight individuals who all post their view of the game at the end of each turn in a thread similiar to the SPIN threads. Kinda like UnOrthO suggested (wonder where that idea came from....)

2) The Terms of Democracy DemoGame.

Two human teams, BOTH Egypt playing against six AI teams. Term III and Term IV as the team leadership with and all in the open. No private forums. DemoGame members could run for office in either Term's civ and vice versa, we simply start with the original officers from the two terms.

I could easily see the DIA taking over one Term and the Hawks taking the other and a civil war resulting..........

Hey, I reported to you ready to start and never heard from you again on the subject.

What happened? Let's restart it and get some players!
