So, Which Boring Leader And Civ Do We Pick?

[pindicator]

Yeah, Peter would be different. We'd be throwing all our eggs in one basket from the start of the game: Oracle and hope your forge GE gets Pyramids. Or bust.

If we're thinking non-FIN leaders, Bismark would be safer: you get to choose between building Pyramids, GLH, or Oracle. With Oracle you go for Metal Casting and quick Forges - having half priced granaries and forges would be a huge step up in the infra department. Any of those 3 wonders will work, we just would need to make sure we land the one we go after.

I'm going to vote Bismark. But that is not a final vote, by any means.

[WarriorKnight]

Change my vote to Mansa. As much as I don't like giving up EXP terraces I think we need FIN to ensure we don't need to race for GLH/Mids.

Actually, I dunno anymore.

If I can vote twice, I vote for Mansa and Bismarck. Otherwise, just put me down for Bismarck.

Current Votes:

Oledavy - Mansa
Pindicator - Peter (Bismark #2)
Shoot the Moon - Mansa
WarriorKnight - Bismark (Mansa #2)
Luddite - Darius
Mardoc - Mansa (Bismark #2)
Waterbat - Darius
KP - Darius (Elizabeth #2)
SleepingMoogle -

Xanes -
thestick -

Tally is:
Mansa - 5
Darius - 3
Bismark - 1


I think that's all of them. I'm going to let it go until the morning (for me), so another 10 hours. So roughly 1500 GMT

[Nakor]

I'll vote Mansu.

[Jkaen]

I would vote death or glory Peter myself, but out of the 3 leading choices I would say Mansa. I thinkBismark is a bit too much of a compromise in all directions

[pindicator]

Fuck it, death or glory is a true pirate's motto.

I'll vote Peter.

[Jkaen]

In that case change me to Peter too

[luddite]

Hmm do we get an "instant runoff" vote?
I'd like to vote for Darius/Peter.

[SleepingMoogle]

Torn between Mansa and Darius here.. though if we're not going for a coastal plant Mansa would win out.

Besides, he wishes for gold which after rum is the best thing a pirate could wish for.

[Jkaen]

Hmm didnt expect the vikings
