Economy controls all internal building and development, including city build ques.

Tactical is concerned with military planning, gathering map intelligence, formulating threat assessments, etc.

Diplomats would be concerned with finding potential trades, maintaining relations with the other human teams, assembling general intelligence reports, etc.

Decisions on research priorites and goals, deciding to execute trades, decisions of war, peace and alliances would be for all of us. This would mean the slider should be decided by all of us.

2 of us should be set to be the players. One the leader, the other his second in case the leader is unavailable. The leader and his second play the game. The leader should be the arbiter of split decisions within the team. The player must be able to make decisions in the absense of directions from one of the schools. For instance, the player notices a city about to go into disorder, but the economists did not mention it. The player should do what is required for the best results for the team in the game.

Each school decides on it's own leader, or minister. The minister is responsible for ensuring that the duties of the school are performed. All of the members of the school should assist him as best they can. Anyone should feel free to contribute ideas, but it is the duty of the members of the school to get the job done. Each school should post its orders prior to each session so that the player can follow them in playing the game.

It appears that we will be playing PBEM. Each team will be allowed 24 hours with the save. That means the game will go slowly, but have short periods of increased activity as we pour over the save in preparation for doing our turn.

That's all I can think of. Did I miss anything?

That's a great summary.

It's worth pointing out that since most people have picked Tactical/Economic then those two schools are effectively the same thing because they have (almost) identical staffs.

Good call FP,

I was hoping Sir Ralph would change his mind, and join the diplomats (seeing his recent victories, from wich we are all still recovering )

btw: has anyone noticed we're back up to 13

Seems that number has some meaning to us

This is good, because the military is sooo dependant on what is built and when.

Maybe I should start getting nervous about the great number of tactical/economical guys out there. I mean, I've got stocks in tactical schola ( ) but I feel that as far as representation the Diplomats should still get 1/3 equality with the other two....

Don't worry about that Meshelic, and don't push for more members, as you previously said, we'll do fine.

And after all, not many has what it takes for diplomacy...






I'm joking, so please don't crucify this Diplomat.

	Put an end to popups!

You new guys should officially sign up for a schola, at least ONE but you may sign up for TWO if you wish. Some like Zeit decided they'd rather not be in two schools, while other may decides to participate in 2/3 of the schools. Your call.

Sign me up for Diplomat and Tactician. If the diplomacy staff is already full, I'll gladly go Economist (I'm a builder at heart).

Diplomacy is open if that's where you want to go! More heads are certainly welcome.

For myself, I will most likely join Econ and Tactical. Haven't finalised that though.

I think we should allow for people to move later. What do you think?

I don't oppose members switching schola's, although they should say so in a thread somewhere so we can adjust the Schola list....

Can't say for myself that I'll be switching, but I may change my mind someday.

Zeit and others still have decided to wait on deciding which schola to join in addition to the one they already have. No problem with that.

	Tired of ads?

Sign me up for the economic and tactical schola.

I'm not entirely satisfied with the name "Tacticians," though. As I understand it, in standard military usage, "tactics" relates to the pursuit of relatively short-term goals while "strategy" relates to the pursuit of longer-term goals. (For example, tactical bombing involves bombing in direct support of the troops, while strategic bombing involves things like attacking production and infrastructure in the hope of harming the enemy's abilty to fight later.) "Strategists and Tacticans" would be more precise, albeit longer-winded.

I agree nbarclay. The initial terms were ones I used in a long ago post. They've stuck.

We could name the schools.

The University of Adam Smith.
The Spartan Academy.
Bismarck College.

I like University of Adam Smith, maybe call it the Adam Smith Foundation...?

Spartan Acadamy sounds cool.

Bismarck College...? How about The Great Embassy , from the reign of Peter the Great when he commissioned all his scholars and ambassadors to western nations to learn their ways and culture, which would have a huge effect on Russian sovereighnty and influence in Europe late 1600's, early 1700's both politically and military-wise ......

Adam Smith Foundation works. As does The Great Embassy. I like both. Although, Bismarck did perform some remarkable diplomatic feats. So either one would be good.

Any other suggestions?

Adam Smith Foundation, Spartan Academy, and Great Embassy sound good to me, although they do seem to give our Egypt a rather international flavor. A prelude to our ruling the world, perhaps?

Perhaps so!

But we are also quite an international team, yes? With members from Belgium, Great Britain, Canada, United States, Finland, Spain, and Sri Lanka? We've even got some UN guys!
