I like Seven's proposal, even though I'll probably break my head trying to decide what to pick.

I prefer mapmaker's choice to wonder bans. There's a map thread up, so this is going to have input from lurkers too.

I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.

Oh, can someone flesh out the proposed picking scheme. I am familiar with a snake pick but not much else. Do we need to know play order before we can start picking?

Sorry for holding things up - the end of PB5 and the launch of this were both really bad timing for me. Home now.
I'm on board with Seven's pick method - that looks perfect. I'd also prefer mapmaker choice on wonder bans. If I'm reading it right, that makes it the consensus on both of those things which were to be decided. We should also talk about turn order - by that I mean consecutive order not necessarily who starts. I think it's a given that Ichabod is first and Pindicator is last given time zones, that just leaves myself/Regoarrarr/Ruff to order, as I think we're all in the eastern time zone. Perhaps Ichabod-Ruff-Regoarrarr-scooter-Pindicator should be our order? I'd probably prefer to be last of the trio given that I'm often up fairly late should the turn come in later than usual. Ruff/Regoarrarr, you guys have a preference on who goes before who? (October 22nd, 2012, 18:21)Catwalk Wrote: How about PRO being -1? It's far weaker than the other 0-point traits, at -1 it might get some love for a change. Maybe put a couple junk civs at -1? In fact, PRO would be just fine at -∞ (and probably AGG too). However, look at what effect that has. It essentially allows the following pairings: EXP/ORG + India/Inca FIN + Vikings/Dutch ... and that's it. So instead of people picking only the top traits and civs if we didn't have any restrictions, now (if anyone thinks it's worthwhile) you have someone picking only top traits and civs except they only get one trait! Is that really more interesting? I think it's less interesting. The simple fact is I think PRO is really boring. It's effectively almost blank. I can't think of a compelling reason to encourage people to pick it, because it adds nothing to the game, unlike other traits. And if the benefit you get for allowing it is people picking the top stuff even more, that's doubly undesirable. |
