The Cuspidore is Recruiting for the Next Game Suffering from ads?

Awwkkk!!!!

Yo Ho Ho Maties! In case you've been wondrin', the Cuspidore's been livin' (if ya could call it that) in the outback on Henry Morgan's Boot Island for some years now - ever since the Borg torched his retirement home at Henry Morgan's Boot Base way back when. Fortunately, the Borg didn't know what we do with the XenoCane and the XenoHemp, so he's had plenty of Grog and 'Rope' - at least enough to hatch a XenoPlan or two.

I for one, had a less than totally fulfillin' experience in the last game - been left wit' a thirst that even all the Xenorum in Tripoli can't quench.

While there were a number of things about the game what were not too much fun, I remember the good old days before things got heavy, and it seems like we've still got a reasonably solid group who've been hanging out despite the warm grog and damp weed here in the outback. Even with all the misfortune, we haven't been tossing our dirks at one another (least not since all those barbs I used to toss at Cap'n Hercules' beknighted terraforming - and he is getting his revenge in AXT056 by sniping at my crawlers and formers).

All this suggests to me that there is a possibility that we could carry this team into the next game pretty much intact, if we so desired.

So here I am banging a pegleg on the mast and trying to sell ya'all on the supposed treasure map I've got right here: .

So what do you say Maties?

Are we still going to be pirate scum, or something else scummy? Maybe the Angels - just as subversive, but more, er, 'respectable'

If we go with your scenario idea, Great Goog, I think going Angels would be wiser than Pirates (would work better.)

There seems to be a movement to mix up the teams from this DG for the next one - how do people feel about this?!

Are most people looking at going with the Data Angels (I was hoping for the PKs, but I've also thought about the Spartans...).

I also thought about the Spartans but I am put off (I am in 3 MP games as the spartans) this time by the -1 industry and lack of wealth SE option. Nor do they have the best research. To succeed the Spartans do need to a conquer an AI fairly quickly. But I could be convinced if the Data Angels faction doesn't materialise. They too are not awfully strong and I feel they need to find a good pact mate early. But I am just raising it to see how people feel about it. Also it has been mentioned a few times above as a faction some here would be inclined to try.

As you know in the first SP ACDG we played the PKs so that is why they don't figure this time.

I would like some players from the other factions to join us and I suppose we should be open to some Cap'ns joining elsewhere.

The Angels seem to be shaping up as more interesting than the Spartans, so far. If they turn up as an option then I am happy to jump aboard join the LAN-party.

I was going to join the Angels, but I liked Imp's ideas of a game-within-a-game for Morgan - and having been in the business of designing Stock-Option plans and Executive Incentive Compensation plans for 20 years, the thought of setting some up for Morgan was just too appealing

Just for interest this from CGN Academy

Data Angels:

A bit of a nothing faction, this one - no real strengths, but no real weaknesses. They are, however, hindered by a quite horrendous bug in the game (at least, from their point of view) in the mid-game (though in MP, this doesn't matter so much).

Early on, you'd play the Angels in much the same way as you might play any other faction...usually Planned/Wealth early, the occasional dip into FM, but otherwise not a lot happening. Planned to boom for the mid-game (they have no problem booming) and FM or planned, depending on diplomatic state, up until knowledge becomes available, and Pre-Sentient Algorithms.

Upon the discovery of Pre-Sentient Algorithms, the Data Angels get a covert ops centre in each base, increasing their base probe by 2. Added to their intrinsic +2, this gives +4. Problem is, the game doesn't recognise this as +4 - any probe value above +3 is considered 0 by the game. In fact, in SP, they need to run knowledge to get any advantages from probes at all! Of course, in MP, this is largely a moot point, as other players will respect your probe rating and not try to mind-control anything in the way the AI would.

After that, it's FM or green as you see fit - green later on, or if you're at war. Not a lot to be said, really.
