PB 59 organizing and tech thread

[superdeath]

I'll sign up for this. The only thing I feel strongly about is map size. I really don't want to be cramped.

edit: and WW off.

I hadn't planned on another one so soon, but if you need players for a big game, then ya I'M IN. Plus larger I don't have to try as hard right?

I heard something about not archaic forum voting
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing

1) I don't care a damn about what slot  you wanted. You can move yourselves around if you feel like it.
2) Wasn't sure if the random method in Charriu's signature is the same as PB38 (I agree snake wouldn't make sense for this). Plus you can blame bad decisions on whatever random method.
3) If I forgot voting options columns can be added.
4) Unlike past times I've created a google doc I'm being lazy and not adding in your vote if you've already posted. I have a book I want to read tonight.

I'm fine with starting after PB55 has ended or whenever.

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars

Got it for Christmas. Pre kids I would have been through it before New Years, but finally working on now with PB54 done.

[Amicalola]

Thanks for making the spreadsheet, it is much easier

[Charriu]

For those that already filled in their votes in the spreadsheet (Amicalola, Mr. Cairo and Mjmd). I've added columns for "No score" and "City count tied to espionage"

[Miguelito]

Thanks for the spreadsheet Mjmd. I was going to set one up, but wanted to have some players sign up first, but we're there already
Added columns for city trades and events, as we've had games the past year that had these on.
Cairo / SD, is no WW a make or break for you, or just a vote on a setting?


edit: also regarding map size, I hear you and voted for 120 tiles/player, but we should avoid falling into the trap where the map is so big that the players who make successful conquests then have unmanageably large empires and the game is abandoned. What happened in PB46, also (I think?) 13 and probably several others. PB18 has been the biggest game thus far and went all the way to the (double!) win condition, so maybe that was the sweet spot?

The advantage of making the spreadsheet was to include no score as the default to get Ramk in!!! Seriously I just hate having to care about PBSPY. I would be up for city count not being tied to espionage with so many people.

[Charriu]

Sorry I missed that detail

[Mr. Cairo]

I'm not going to not play if we have WW, I just don't know why anyone would ever want WW in the game.
