Looks like this poll is pretty close....

Thanks for the poll, NM. I have not voted just yet, as although I prefer a straight DG, elements of a Feudal game could be incorporated provided I didn't need to know them to participate.

The thing is, I just don't see a DemoGame doing that well. With all the InterTeam DemoGames and having to make trades and negotiations with other humans the vanilla DemoGame has lost a lot of its appeal.

By making it Feudal based it adds a more "individual investment" element that will hopefully spark more interest, more participation, more excitement, and more fun. It differs from PBEMs because we are all on the same team and can play at any pace we set for ourselves without having to wait for another team to play their save.

I just don't see an standard non-Feudal game doing well.

Hey, all that is fine and sounds like it could work. Just 'cos I don't personally want to deal with extra non-essential gameplay activities doesn't mean everyone doesn't.

All very well and good, but for if the Feudal option wins I hope there are some people who are willing to RUN the game.

indeed, indeed

ahh but it sounds like a great game

lots and lots of micromanagement

certainly will be great to see it in full flight, when it has had several thousand years of hard game play and development

Only a scant few days left in this. Since it looks like the Feudal option may win, it's about time we started drumming up some positions.

Come back!
Even if we play a FeudalGame, many issues will be decided at the higher level, because many things will be collective in nature (techs, taxation, diplomacy etc.)

Even if you are hostile to the FeudalGame, you can still have fun and play about all these things that escape the pure feudalism.

hey Tass, after all the work to get you here - now your leaving

stick around - who knows what fun can be had in a feudal game

knights - lords - serfs - bad food - people eating mud - large rabbits - castles - moats - boats - and a PRESIDENT

yep all the weird stuff - a PRESIDENT

Please hang around, Tass and The Viking. Although it is not what we had hoped for in the next game (clearly), all is not lost. It is possible that this will end up more like a normal SPDG as time goes on. We shall see.

I intend to get into it, time permitting, before deciding what it will be like. Just lurk at least, and we should all find out what this game concept will actually play out as.

Its sorta Capitalistic so I can see the Commies running for the hills to avoid realizing how superior Capitalism is.
