It's a cool idea, however it puts tremendous stress on teams not consisting solely of students. The 24 hour rule works because mostly everybody can log on once every 24 hours, and be able to voice his opinions on the situation. But only students (and people who get paid to not work ) can log on all 12 hours... it's seriously discriminating people who might be interested.

Having teams to force having multiple players sounds good, but the rule would also require leaders in each team, or dictators, presidents, or whatever you want to call them. Which means that any democratic team is out of the question. You can't have a decent poll on a subject, if you are to play your turn in less then 5 hours... so all power goes to the leader, the rest of the members are only there to roleplay and advise on general things.

I don't have any time to join, and thus don't want to critique anything, but that doesn't sound like a good idea to me. I'm happy to play in a team where the opposite is true, even if it means that in times of pressure, turns take the full 24 hours to debate. Consensus based teams can be fun to be part of too, you know

I agree with DeepO. If we want this game to be more "fun" the last thing we need to be doing is adding stress to the teams.

Team sunshine will be the masters of disservices (not sure that it means what I want it to, looked it up in a dictionary)

like building a city in their terriroty close to their capitol:
"Oh, I thought you wanted some new neighbours"
our way of declaring war...

Don't take me too seriously...

quoting the American president:
"It´s a war for peace"
That´d agree with our policy, wouldn´t it?


however, it´d be fun to see Team Sunshine win the game on conquest without going to war once. (that could be possible if we turn off culture victory and take all their cities by cultural conversion)

You could make up your own too, since there aren't any other teams yet...

Puh-leese.
If any team should pick a ridiculous Japanese character as its mascot, it's gotta be the unchikun.

Gee thanks, MZ - now I feel obligated to come up with some ideas for the Monty Python team.

OK, some ideas to hash about - completely open for discussion.

"The Full Monty" as a team name?

Members to be encouraged(but not required) to create a team character, drawing their Monty inspiration from any movie, show, or skit they like.

All diplomacy to be conducted in the appropriate manner.

Of course, all unit names derived from Monty material.

I'd be happy to provide some advice for that.

Once the single player DG gets going, and the map is uncovered, I can also tell you a little bit more about it.
