Oh yes, polls! We needed those, there were too few lately 
As to joining: no thanks, not now. I can't handle another game right now, can't even manage to get a SP going lately.
If I had time, I would certainly not mind joining another team, however the GS team has been, and will hopefully continue to be, loads of fun. I can understand NYE hoping for us to stick together for a while longer, and I'm sure other teams feel the same. It would be fun to start a new game after this one ends with roughly the same teams / people, and see how everyone would react to teams they already know.
As to making a new game interesting: what about restricting the diplomatic options in a game? A game in which no minimaps are traded and contact be made out-of-game before in-game would be interesting, as would a game in which everyone is bound to submit treaties to a UN for approval, after which they they are sure to be kept. As long as the bureaucratic stuff is being kept to a minimum, it should be fun to see more posts in the public forum.

Since we have several people who are not intimidated by mod tweaking, and the general feeling appears to be that another PTW game would have support but not necessarily for it to be a sequel to the current PTW Demo game, why don't we make a "Mod" PTW game with NONE of the original resources or units. Only use the best of what we can find the mod forums of the various civ sites. It doesn't have to be as serious a game as the PTW Demo is turning out to be, this one could be just for fun.

I concur Aeson. The "trashing" between our two teams have been in good spirit and has actually been rather entertaining 
Of course, GS has been acting rather smug lately, but that just sweetends the final result when we wipe that smug grin from your faces.  
Now, back to the war at hand!   |
Now here's the problem. Normally, I'd say, "Smug? Of course we're smug, because we know how this war will really come out.  " Or something along those lines.
But of course Gathering Storm folks aren't allowed to say things like that because it's arrogant. Right?
Frankly, I'll admit that Gathering Storm has a high opinion of our collective skill level. How could we not when several of us have watched each other play for quite a few months in Apolyton University games, shared advice, and listened to each other's strategy ideas? But we recognize that other teams have good players too, and we aren't crazy enough or arrogant enough to assume that the game is ours for the asking.
The irony is that Togas seems to have at least as high an estimate of Gathering Storm's ability as we do. Why else would our alleged "cliquishness" bother him so much? Would he react one tenth as negatively to the idea of Legoland's or Vox Controli's wanting to stay together for another game?
My own view is that if Gathering Storm does indeed have a disproportionate share of top players, it would make sense to try to get a more even distribution in future games. Not only would that open up opportunities for new friendships, but it would make for more competitive games and help spread knowledge around. (Not that I expect to take a particularly active role in future games myself; it's fun, but far too time-consuming.) Edit: Not that this game is anything but competitive. Most of the teams seem to be even enough that there's no telling who will win.
