2v2v2v2 team pitboss anyone?

[Shoot the Moon]

Please, sir. May I ded-lurk your team?

Welcome aboard

Indeed glad to have you.

Also I agree with the consensus on open forums. Also should be AW I think.

One thing we should figure out first - are we thinking full-on AW (like PB6) or closer to AI Diplo style (PB5, PB8, etc)?

This matters because it really affects how important turn order is, and in turn affects how we pick - a 4-3-2-1-4-3-2-1 style is overkill if we're doing AW, because you won't have any foreign trade routes, but it's probably necessary if we do AI Diplo because of the bugged turn order trade routes.

I suspect AW is ideal for this game, but either way we should decide on that first.

AW would be best I think

[TheHumanHydra]

As I said before, I would prefer not Always War, but it seems the consensus is AW, unless some haven't chimed in yet.

I'm fine with non-private forums; I trust everyone and I'm running that greasemonkey script thing so I don't accidentally look in other people's threads.

Wait, what exactly are you talking about here?

[TheHumanHydra]

Which, the script? It's here: http://realmsbeyond.net/forums/showthread.php?tid=4088. It's a plugin that lets you block selected threads so you can't accidentally enter them. I usually blaze through the site clicking on threads so I find it helpful.

Since I didn't play in those other ones PB5, PB8, etc, etc...can someone explain what that diplo style was so that I have a comparison?

AI diplo is referring to the only allowable diplomatic options being through the diplo screen in game, with no other communication allowed.

[Commodore]

I'd vote AW, it's adding another wrinkle for AI diplo weirdness. Call that 1/3 vote from us.

[WarriorKnight]

I'll vote AW as well.
