Now Accepting Landlubbers - Team Pirate Organizing Thread

[waterbat]

Team Gilette, they're being the most annoying.

[SIZE="1"]And probably have the best chance of winning this shin dig.[/SIZE]

OK, we have their main thread, but a couple of the smaller ones got their sails up and made away before we could get em.

We also went back and raided their capitol:

Maybe we should save that one for posting each city we capture/raze

[pindicator]

This thing needs a banter thread. You guys think we should suggest adding a banter thread to the full diplo?

I'm honestly not sure how well that would go over - antagonistic banter and full diplo are at odds with each other. However, it wouldn't hurt to suggest it.

Yeah, that's why I brought it up here first

[thestick]

I'll vote YES/YES/NO.

So, how do we plan on winning this? Constant warfare or peaceful expansion?

We parley until it is advantageous to backstab, of course. :aar:

Parlay?

So, we're coming in on the home stretch of getting this game off the ground. At this point, we're waiting on Forum Access votes from TEAM and the Tropical Trolls. We still have a bit of house-cleaning to do around here though. First off, Pindicator already posted it upthread, but I'll repost Seven's form here:

[ ] 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!

So far, the major source of contention seems to be whether or not we want to see the starts before the game. The current votes are as follows:

Oledavy - Yes
Pindicator - Yes
Shoot the Moon - Indifferent
WarriorKnight - NOT VOTED
Luddite - NOT VOTED
Mardoc - NOT VOTED
Waterbat - Yes
KP - NOT VOTED
SleepingMoogle - NOT VOTED
Jkaen - NOT VOTED
Nakor - No
Xanes - NOT VOTED
thestick - Yes

Fwiw, it doesn't really matter either as our starts will probably have no influence whatsoever on Civ picks, snake picking with no restrictions. However, it might be nice to get something to look at some our micro fiends can start breaking the start ASAP.

So, copy the text, and mark any applicable box - particularly if you have a strong opinion on whether or not we should see our starts before the game begins. I'll tally the votes tonight before I go to bed (~14 hours). That will hopefully be the end of our contributions to the setup process for this game.

After you do that, swing by the Leader/Civilization Selection Thread to start figuring out who we want to take into this game.

Lastly, can we get some more thread spam going? We're losing the post count war already!

[pindicator]

I'd encourage our C&D and Diplomacy leaders to start up respective threads as well. Good idea to get some ideas flowing and some good habits started as far as checking and updating those threads.

As for Seven's checklist, I have no objections to the settings he put forward. I also agree that starting screenshots will have very little bearing on our leader / civ choice but that it would be nice for sandboxing.
