Okay so next turn we're going to have to settle our capital and pick a name. What's going to be the name of our capital? The boring preset name?

On one hard we could name it after something in these guys' honor, which was the first thing to pop up from the google search.

Or perhaps Versailles or something related to our name like that. I dunno, my knowledge of crazy french words doesn't go much further than wikipedia.

So I created a team email address for diplo communications. We can do a lot of things with filters to organize things, and we can also set up forwarding for anyone who would like to get incoming messages forwarded onto them instantly. I'm going to reserve 4 posts under this to serve as our dossier on each team, and those will gradually be filled in and detailed. It should contain info such as team captain, roster list, diplomat, current deals, intel gathered, etc.

Apparently rbgillette was already taken - go figure. Did one of you guys do that by any chance ? If so, I kind of like that better. If not, gilletterb should be fine. If someone is really opposed to that for some reason and can register something better, we can switch.

After posting this thread, I'm going to reserve 4 posts - one for each team. There's a 30 second throttle that regoarrarr knows ALL about, so I do ask that you give me 2 minutes to reserve them.

After that, if you want me to set up forwarding from the diplo account to your own email account, either post your email address here or PM/email it to me, and I'll hook you up so as soon as we get an email you'll get a copy.

Also, if you're interested in working on the diplo team, sign up here. I think it's best if we get several people interested in helping on this front and then go from there. This is not an urgent priority as it'll likely be a couple weeks minimum before we meet anyone.

And so it begins....



I moved the scout and warrior, revealing nothing of interest. We have 18 hours to figure out where to settle.

My impulse is that we settle the riverside grassland hill. It picks up all the crucial tiles, secures a nice amount of riverside grassland for cottaging later, and allows us to settle our second city 1E of the spices.

I noticed we don't have nearly enough threads yet, have another one! Gaspar suggested elsewhere that each member get to pick one thing that angers you and we name cities after that. Similarly, workers can be named after people that anger you, RB or not. I decree that there can only be one Catwalk worker, though.

Should we do it first come first served with names, or go with the best ones first? Or even better, have lots of polls about it?

Also, how controversial/political can we get? I guess with our team theme, we should get in each other's faces as much as possible and worry about the consequences later? I think we should make an effort not to go overboard antagonizing our enemies. For example, picking all 3 of 2metraninja + Sommerswerd + CFC ISDG would be a bit much, I'd say 2 at most.

Please use this thread for turn reports only, after the turn has finished. One post per report, no discussion. Turn reports should also be copied to the Game Thread, unless there already are other posts to the same effect.

I will post all correspondence in this thread, however if you just can't wait let me know and I will add you to the rbtropicaltroll auto-forward list .

Basically I am thinking of investing in this for the upcoming season. In the UK we don't get many games to watch and it seems one of my brothers has managed to lock me out of the Sky Go account so I wouldn't even be able to watch the few that are on.

I've really got into NFL in the last couple of years and I saw the price for this and thought it quite reasonable. I'll have a very strong internet connection at Uni from October so I should be able to watch games live with little trouble.

So what I want to know is, before I spend £99, whether anyone can see any thing wrong with this offer or if anyone else uses it and can tell me how good/bad it is?

Also, hope you guys are up for Fantasy Football again!
