If you only want 2 traits I'll bite the bullet and use the other four picks awarded to our team.

I don't mind if everyone has 2 and GF has 3, it'll just make the target already painted on him even bigger.

GhengisFarb™ · September 19, 2003, 11:47

Sounds like OPD and donegeal like this proposal. I can't imagine Big Free and Beta not agreeing to it, and with my vote that would be 5 and 3 not yet voting.

Anatolia will probably vote no, but as he's only one vote so he is most likely just going to get screwed..................

GhengisFarb™ · September 19, 2003, 11:54

I would almost be willing to discuss setting up a pbem with 7 other players against me if I got a few edges. That should let some of you blow off some steam.

Donegeal · September 19, 2003, 11:57

All joking aside... What version of PTW are we going to use? I don't have the lates patch yet, but I can get it if we go that way...

Master Zen · September 19, 2003, 13:28

versions 1.21 and 1.27 are compatible with each other.

I will be making the game in 1.27 but anyone with 1.21 should be able to play without a problem.

GhengisFarb™ · September 19, 2003, 15:01

So we each send MasterZen our two secret trait pick, our two secret starting tech picks and our one UU pick?

Is this what we are going with?

Harovan · September 19, 2003, 15:35

Looks so.

Are you stalling the Naval game, Ghengis?

marcuspeddle · September 19, 2003, 19:14

edited because I didn't see some recent posts.

marcuspeddle · September 19, 2003, 19:34

My information has been sent to Master Zen. I only sent him two traits I wanted so that's my vote.
Let's get going!

BigFree has already taken Roman Red (I have it listed as Red (Prime Rome).

Donegeal · September 20, 2003, 02:38

NYE, can you play during the daytime, or do you need to be done with work?

notyoueither · September 20, 2003, 02:47

Damn. Did not see the colour choice of BF. I will let you know soon.

I work days. Must be after work. Actually, putting me after BF would be wise, since he normally cuts out before I am home.

notyoueither · September 20, 2003, 02:50

Give me Aztec green, then.

Donegeal · September 20, 2003, 03:25

Ok, Aztec green it is....

And a new play order:

Harovan · September 20, 2003, 04:03

PMd Beta

Donegeal · September 20, 2003, 04:16

SR, Are you at work right now? would you be able to play the turn at this time? It would be about 4 more hours until I could play mine...

Harovan · September 20, 2003, 05:41

It's Saturday, and I'm at home. I have several things to do, but at weekends I can play 'round the clock. Can't do so during the week, though.

Thats a VERY similiar start to my Vikings in the Power Block PBEM with OPD, I started with two grassland and everything else mountain. Not a drop of water in sight.

Beta · September 20, 2003, 11:35

Hi folks. I'm here. Sorry about that.

I actually had sent my information to Don shortly after he set the game up, (but I know he promises to forget it

), and then I was away for a couple of days.

My vote is two traits.

Also - I am with SR about not strating with 3 settlers, but I will go with the flow.

Monarch - OK.

Normal map - whatever. Wewt is fine too. All the mods - OK. Although to be honest - I will need a better explanation of how those hidden UU (jag warrior to cossack thing works).

And my civ:

Civilization: Atlantis
Noun: Atlanteans
Adjective: Atlantean
Title: Emperor
Name: Betazoid
Leaderhead: Xerxes (Persian)
Color: Celtic Green

Now PM'ing MZ with my details.

Beta · September 20, 2003, 11:36

And oh yes - I am in Toronto - so GMT-5 normally, with EDT, GMT-4.

Wewt sounds interesting, can you elaborate a bit more?

Your really like this Atlantis stuff, don't you......

BigFree · September 21, 2003, 05:00

I emailed my settings to MZ.

Of course my vote is for 3 traits. So does it need 4 or 5 votes to pass?

Everything else sounds fine. What about general rules? Like no MiniMap trades before MM; and other things that have come up in the PTWDG and the ISDG.

marcuspeddle · September 21, 2003, 06:15

I agree with not exchanging minimaps before actual in-game contact.

Harovan · September 21, 2003, 07:00

I propose this general rule: Only in-game diplomatic transactions

This means in particular:

- No diplomacy at all before meeting in-game. Includes no hints like "I'm in the upper right quarter of the map, go look for me there."
- No secret contact trading. Meaning, it is not allowed to say "Player X is to my southeast, look for him there". Contact trading (or gifting) after Writing is ok.
- No minimap trading whatsoever. We can trade TMs and WMs in-game.
- No hidden alliances. Alliances have to be formed by building embassies and allying in-game, visible for all. Meaning: Parties can plan attacks together, but as soon as war broke out, the alliance has to be published.

All this needs some fair play from everyone, but I think no need to worry about this.

marcuspeddle · September 21, 2003, 08:23

I agree with Sir Ralph but I don't think we need to announce alliances. Don't nations have secret alliances in real life?
