C3CDG The Lost Boys Support Apolyton

The other teams seem to already have one of these so I think it would be a good idea if we did too.

Lets pick a civ. I vote for Carthage - industriuos and seafarring with numidian merc. 2/3/1 spearman for only 30 sheilds.

PS Lord Nuke, you got off the Mac and onto a real computer now?

Got spare money?

Beat me to the punch, 1889 - I was about to post a thread.

Carthage works for me.

And, anyone have a better idea for a name/theme? 'the Lost Boys' just doesn't sound very good to me...

You can try to come up with a new name if you like. I'm happy with "the Lost Boys" and Togas already approved.

A quick look back in the thread and I see that you never really joined this team, but were assigned here by Snoopy. If you do not like the vampire theme then you may want to pick some other team.

We will also need a CivGroup Icon, so says Snoopy. I don't know anything about CivGroups even though I think I belong to one.

I submit this for your approval.

Carthage again? I've been Carthage twice in the DGs, I'm Carthage in a NES, but I still can't get enough of them. The civgroup looks fine, and the Vampire theme is fine as well, but I still think we need a better name.

Civgroup icon is great. The name is fine, unless someone comes up with something better.

I'm not picky about the choice of civs either, as there really isn't a civ out there that screams "vampire" to me and Carthage is a good all-around civ to play.

That Civgroup icon seems a bit too dark for my tastes, IMHO, but I'm no graphic designer, so what does my word matter...

And I think The Lost Boys is just fine for a name.

Looks like the name, icon and civ choice are set then. I guess we talk strategy in the CivGroup when that gets set up.

Also incase you didn't know I'm asking Snoopy to make our nation Transylvania and our king Nosferatu.

The only other thing I can think of is city names. We'll need a capitol right away. All I can come up with is Gothica right now.

taxmoney is much better to generate artistic ideas? Who pays taxes? People that work and companies. Who pays those people? Companies.

Ahem. When was the last time you were in northern Mexico or southern Arizona then? The Saguaro, correctly pronounced "Sa-WAH-roh", is the King of Cacti, one of the largest Cacti in existence (the "Century Plant" grows higher, upon maturation, but that takes 20 years ...), and rarely looks mangey unless it is taken outside of its natural environment (the Sonoran desert, one of the largest deserts in the world, in northern mexico and southern arizona), in which case it rarely lives very long unless cared for very carefully. This website is a good page for more information.

Oddly similar to a Vampire, who when taken away from his home soil does poorly unless home soil is taken with ... and a good indication of what will happen to your civilization should you come up against certain other peoples, whose Disco Style and bright lights will be anethema to your darkness-seeking civilization should you trouble us ... muahahaha ... *disco dance*

I've already got the Grail-shaped icon of Monty Python - I fear that the current icon will only bring more religous connotation.

Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Okay, I got a bit bored, and started to play with 1889's icon, in an attempt to make it more visible. The second one is about the same as 1889's, except that I centered it a bit more and changed the color scheme - two colors of red, a lighter shade in the middle, with a darker shade outlining it. In the first one, I thickened the cross. The third one is the same as the first, except that there I removed the background.

The fourth is my own idea - a desert island. We're lost boys, after all, so why not lose outsevles on a deserted island?

*I think Octavian's thin cross on black should be the icon, the thick cross is also cool.


*Also as far as the team composition, I would rather have a small team of frequent posters who are willing to devote the few minutes a day this game will need rather than a large mob of lurkers who will stop in with a few coments that jack our thread.

Still four people is a little too small so please invite a few friends.

*How would you like the team run? My suggestion would be to have one player play the turns (I nominate myself) after getting input from the team.

Should everything be up to votes or should we dellegate duties? Do any of you think that having some players be city governers others as science advisers, etc adds anything to your level of comitment or involvment? This is my first democracy game and it sounds kinda fun, but does it work?
