RBP6 Lurker Thread

Well, obviously we are in a phase which is not all that much different then the first 20 turns in an ancient start. You choose your first build, you move your scouting units around, thats it. The thing is, it should get more interesting soon normally, as later era starts should be quicker to evolve towards the interesting part of the game. Unfortunately I think this game has already lost nearly a week due to players being not able to communicate with their teammates and giving orders for "their civ". Add to that what Gaspar said about people not understanding the difference of a team-game to a solo-player-game (is team 4 even realizing that they win together?...) and I agree with him that this game probably will die.

Seems team two are looking at Praet Rushing Londing (sunrise). I'm not sure if it's a good idea or a bad one. But it should be interesting to see.

Game might die, but I don't think straight out rushing works against Team 1. However they've good chance to utilise their Praets for aggressive settling or do some pillaging although it isn't very effective against sea food start.

Another comment. I feel that free Great Artist shouldn't be available in Medieval. It is too big of a reward too early and if there are more than 1 team trying it easily leads to coinflip situation or alternatively winner is decided by the turn order. If similar game is started, I would suggest that Great Artist from Music should be disbanded.

No, let's get some posts up to recruit a few more people. If Kuro is still here, we only need 2 players to get back up and running.

Looks like they're trying to recruit another bunch of random people instead of recruiting people who know eachother and want to play together.

Yeah, I've ducked out from ded-lurking Team 4. I don't have any desire to try to pick up the pieces on top of going up against the juggernaut that is Team 1. I guess I was expecting more of a team atmosphere, but between Jkaen telling us he wasn't going to listen and Kuro doing his own thing anyway there just wasn't any feeling that I was a part of a team.

I'm surprised people even think the games worth playing.

[darrelljs]

Well the other teams do have a pretty good spirit, and they are obviously enjoying themselves.

I think it would probably be better to stop the game and restart it with the 3 teams. Team 4 will never get any traction I feel and even with new players they would have to take over some rather... weird stuff they did (Kuro moving 5 turns or what it was around before settling the second city...).

[mackoti]

Yes, its a waste start this game again...

The Rejects are nice guys, but they aren't a "team" in any legitimate sense of the word. This game was always going to be a farce, and it's obvious sputtering futility should surprise no-one.
