Now Accepting Landlubbers - Team Pirate Organizing Thread

[SleepingMoogle]

Ahoy mateys! Ye scallywags can call me ScurvyMoogle. Will have to take a gander at the treasure ma.. err.. rules list later.

We take the Vikings right?

Mandatory kit for all pirates!

Jkaen, that's awesome! Oledavy or yourself should post it in the signup thread

Welcome aboard ScurvyMoogle!

[Jkaen]

Ok, posted it (noticed I typed 'to' rather than 'too', but can't be bothered changing it)

[pindicator]

Nice Jkaen!

I'll try to get my voting up later today but I gotta run and catch a bus for work. Let's try to figure out what we want as a team for rules, so that if it comes to 1 vote per team then we'll be ready to go.

[Jkaen]

And because I really didnt want to do any real work this afternoon

[Shoot the Moon]

Here are my votes:

Civilizations per team? -------1, but wouldn't object to more

Starting Era? ------Open to anything; suspect it will be ancient

Pitboss style? - Sequential / Concurrent ----Depends on if teams think they could live with like a 12h turn timer with multiple members. If we could do that I'd prefer sequential

Diplomacy? - Full private / Full public / AI Diplo / Banter thread / CTON -----Torn between no one on our team liking diplo and it being a demo game...

Always War? - Yes / No ------Yes
Barbarians? - Raging / Yes / No -----No
Spies? - Full / Limited ( declare options to ban ) / None ----None
Corporations? - Yes / No ----No
Blockades? - Yes / Modern Era only / No ----No
War Elephants? - Yes / Khmer only / No -----No
Tech Trading? - Yes / Limited / No -----No
Nukes? - Yes / No -----No
Map trading? - Always / When possible in game ----Always

Banned Wonders? ----GLH on a water heavy map. SoZ.

Pick method? ----Snake pick, no restrictions

Map restrictions? ----Something normal. Same continent.

I'd also like to ban religious victory with the AP (although fine with it being built).

Great map, Jkaen!

I was going to volunteer, but I dont think i have enough cycles to put in enough time to be the diplo guy.

I definitely want to see us get to Backstab Bay and of course... to WIN.

Alright, so let's see..


Civilizations per team? - Just one please.. the logistics are probably not compatible with the team size.

Starting Era? - No real preference.

Pitboss style? - With 5 large teams, sequential can be a definite possibility.

Diplomacy? - No real preference as long as there's a banter thread.

Always War? - No, we should be able to parley.
Barbarians? - On or Raging.. more mayhem!
Spies? - No ninjas allowed!
Corporations? - No real preference
Blockades? - As long as they are pirate blockades
War Elephants? - Khmer
Tech Trading? - No
Nukes? - No
Map trading? - Always

Banned Wonders? - No real preferences

Pick method? - Snake Pick

Map restrictions? - I'd like to see an unusual concept that is not too artificial. Perhaps a little more water than what we're normally seeing.

Civilizations per team? - ok with 1

Starting Era? - I like ancient

Pitboss style? - no pref

Diplomacy? - unrestricted diplo after meeting in-game

Always War? - No

Barbarians? - Off

Spies? - ok without the CSM bs

Corporations? - No real preference

Blockades? - Yes, pirate blockades only.

War Elephants? - Sure.

Tech Trading? - No
Nukes? - No
Map trading? - Always

Banned Wonders? - SoZ seems imba to me and ban worthy.

pick - each team sends in top 5 leaders and top 5 civs - random order determined; leaders are distributed, then in opposite order, civs are distributed.
(assuming a 5 team game)

map - non-mirrored, but meticulously balanced, starts
