Teams will be sorted out once we are into the game and have an idea of geography and the like.

Maps.. don't know, I think alva was having someone do them for us?

Hey, we didn't really agree on anything...

I'll be generating 4 continent maps, and the one that get's most points will be checked out by some neutral party, to make sure it's ok.

I'd like to play as America if that is OK.

I think we shouldn't bother waiting for the Euro patch either. It could take weeks to come out for all we know.

I think that one map that is checked by a neutral third party will be quite sufficient.
The ranking of 4 maps by each player just slows everything down.

Damn, looks like i'm late- alva PMed me about this-
i'd love to join, though. My ass is being kicked in this PBEM i play, and i'd really like to join such a game with teams and all that, not a simple- SPish PBEM without much contact and diplomacy.

Can i still join?
Pleeeeaaaaase....

(Don't be afraid to say no, though... )

7 players makes teams difficult, I don't mind 8 players if we can conscript another. As long as we can make sure the turns tick over.

How do others feel?

Don't give up so easy, see what the others say. I'm of the view the more the merrier!

I'm just saying I'd prefer an even number of players.

Well, I thought we had reached the point of not starting as teams but deciding later. If we go to, say, 1000BC and decide then there are several possible choices. Someone may have dropped out. Someone may have been eliminated. Teams could be 2:2:3. Someone may be so strong they choose to play on alone.

I am prepared to go with 7 players if everyone else is.

Maps - either we set up three or four starts and play the most popular (doesn't take very long if it is a decision on the first turn) or someone independent checks (and maybe tweaks) the map to ensure everyone gets a reasonable start but not both, that is overkill.

I would go for multiple starts, everyone votes on their initial start and we play whichever we are generally happiest with. If it later becomes a team game a poor or isolated start isn't necessarily the end of the world.

Final comment - can we resolve this quickly and get started this weekend please.

I want to play in teams with equal number of players each - 2:2:2 or 3:3. If we are 8 - then 2:2:2:2 or 4:4 (worse variant). And I think the idea of the decision is to see your team mates, not to eliminate them. Only to be sure there are no separated teams.
Maybe with neutral arbiter will be the best - he will ensure all teams are together and they have reasonably good starting locations.

So, who is still in for the game and who is not?

I tend to agree with letting Zeit in, could make for a couple of interesting situations.

I'll start up 4 maps, with random civs , after that, give your votes and the chosen map will be checked out.

Can we agree on this ?

I was about to say this isn't a Democracy Game.

We have been having a lot of fun at CGN getting people to vote quickly enough to get quoroms.

Probably best to go by timezones, although all of us being in Europe in won't make much difference.


zeit, are you in?

I have included Zeit.

Game is underway !!!!


Scores;

game A = 0
game B = 20
game C = 20
game D = 0

(just to recap:
You have a total of 40 points which you can distribute among the 4 saves. The save with most points will be checked and played, if given the ok)

Perhaps to keep things fair, send your points to me, when I have everyones vote, I'll post them here.
( This holds true, especially for the last couple of voters, so they can't 'choose' their most favourable game).

additional

Game has been set-up under 1.14.

settings are;

Monarchy,
roaming,
continents,
rest is default.

Have fun.....
