Fundamentally flawed settings and ruleset contemplations to be totally scrapped

[mzprox]

I have an idea for bringing in something fresh to civ/leader selection. It would be a regular snake pick however every one picks something not for her team, but for the next in line. It's guaranteed we would play with never chosen civs/leaders and still would be balanced somewhat.

I also like the idea of restricting leaders/civs, but I think it'd be very difficult to make the other teams play along with it. It seems to me that scooter suggestion is the further people will go regarding limiting choices.

I'm inclined towards not restricting the choice - providing we think that picking 5th would still give us someone/thing worthwhile. Er, by "we" I mean those who know what they're talking about rather than me If we think picking 5th would only leave us with 2nd tier choices, then I'd be in favour of restricting it so everyone gets gimped the same amount. If that makes sense

Since it's getting cluttered in the main discussion thread, please use this thread to work out the forum access schemes. Forum access can be handled separately for each team. These would be the choices, which each team can make at their discretion:

A) Fully private, only approved members let in. This would be set up just like the CFC demogame. You must specify one or more team captains to be in charge of approving requests. "Global lurkers" would apply to each team that wants this scheme.

B) Open to all logged in users. Not visible without a login.

C) Open to all, even without any login.

Members of each team will be banned from all other team forums. In case B, this prevents cheating unless someone registers a sock puppet account. In case C, this prevents only accidental cheating (via New Posts or similar) because someone could just log out.

Each team please post here when you've decided what you want to do.

I have no strong opinion on this, but C) seems fine.

C) seems fine to me too. Since registered users that are part of a team will be banned from the other team forums, that takes care of my personal "New Posts" gripe.

EDIT: So the only thing we would need to remember is to give our threads relatively nondescript (or misleading) names.

Let's name every thread something like "EPIC MICRO PLAN FOR SPACE ELEVATOR: PART 6".
