Fundamentally flawed settings and ruleset contemplations to be totally scrapped

[Ichabod]

Since our dear captain is probably still under the effects of yesterday celebration (or maybe even still in teh celebration), I'll try to compile the votes in his place.

We seem to have a majority going for this options:

* See starts and settings before snake pick [Yes/No] Yes
* Ban diplo victory [Yes/No] Yes
* Diplo before in-game contact [Yes/No] No

The thing which is kind of not really decided yet is this:

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.

I counted 3 votes for C (Ichabod, Novice, darrelljs), 1 for A (plako) and 1 for B (pling).

If anyone else wants to vote, please do so. I'll probably post the results later today.

Now that's some celebration. Of course you're still you, who else would [strike]be you[/strike] you be?

For forum access, I vote for A). So we don't get global lurkers laughing at our in a thread we can't read

Why did all the subforums get locked?
So global lurkers all could be blocked!
They laugh at our weed
In threads we can't read
And we'd prefer not to be mocked

Darrell, time to make some executive decisions.

TEAM request for a vote

Can we please ban: Declare War (on a non-member), Force Peace (between two members), and Assign City AP resolutions?

Agree with this.

I suggest each team captain fills out this form before we proceed to getting our snake pick order. I am hoping that this will be quick and not require a full polling of every player, as there is a strong default listed for each case.

[COLOR="LemonChiffon"]
[ ] Our team is unsatisfied with the settings listed here and thinks ____ should be discussed further.

[ ] Our team objects to one of the following minor or assumed settings which were not included in the original ballot:
___ Vassal states off
___ Random events and huts off
___ Normal game speed
___ Difficulty/wrap/world size at mapmaker's discretion, to be announced before the pick
___ Water-ness of map at mapmaker's discretion, to be announced before the pick
___ Diplo victory enabled so as not to remove AP/UN, but using the victory vote in-game is banned
___ Communication with other teams is not permitted without in-game contact, including public communication
___ Turn order will be random and independent of pick order
___ Starting screenshots will be shown to us by Commodore before the snake pick
(Optional: [ ] But we withdraw our objection to any given item unless a majority of teams object to it.)

[ ] Our team has an additional proposal to make and wishes for a slight delay in finalizing the settings: _____

[ ] Our team has additional comments that do not require a holdup: _____

[ ] This form is biased and/or disenfranchising and its results should not be considered valid.

[ ] This is going to be great![/COLOR]

Sign off on this.

This shouldn't be controversial, so let's agree through apathy. If nobody objects we all agree.

As for forum access, let's go with B since it's the compromise solution, and what the other teams are doing.
