( No Players )[Lurker Thread] CIV VI PBEM19 Beginner

The solution for the Maori is to take a page out of that one Civ 4 game and put a barbarian nuclear sub in the ocean. Of course you'd need to hope that no one realizes what is going on and uses Boudica..

Here is the edited Player 1 starting screenshot.
I currently experience some internet issues, so please post these into the Player's thread if they choose so and I do not get it done quickly enough

Ioan76 continues to be non-responsive.  August 27th continues to be his last forum visit.  Frankly, this has me nod about relegating him to dedluker in PBEM 18 and has me wondering if we should put an over/under on Archduke rage quitting the game due to slow turn pace or setup.

I just send him another PM asking him to check in here.

I just hope he manages to get his daily window once the game rolls.
Did TAD answer somewhere regarding his preference for the starting screenshot question?

Not that I've seen. He hasn't been on RB since the 28th.

What do you guys think?
He definitely locks his pick that way. Was there ever a CIV VI PBEM with starting screenshots?

Without showing the starting position, maybe make sure they understand that the starts are fixed and won't be Civ dependent (as no guarantee for specific like jungle for Brasil no toundra for Russia or not coastal for England /phenicia etc...).

I don't recall there being a Civ VI PBEM in which we got the start positions prior to the civs being selected. However, I think only the last two or three used completely custom maps rather than finding a "good one" from the map gen scripts.

I don't see the harm in providing screen shots here.

I mostly do not want to take the decision from the players, in the end it is their game and they need to decide how they want to play it. I certainly am eager to see how the screenshots will influence their decision making process.

I really want Ioan to be pro screenshot as well, sadly I do not understand why his responsiveness here is so bad/slow.
Hopefully he gets around to it and then keeps the game rolling, this certainly is a worry for this game.

If someone isn't routinely checking in before the game even starts, that's a terrible sign in terms of reliability and the group should consider replacing them. It's easy to be enthusiastic when a game is kicking off, the tough part is motivating yourself when a game's been going on for six months and your civ has no chance of winning any longer. Ioan might have things going on in his life which don't allow time for Civ MP, which is totally fine but again a poor sign for this game's health. At this point the group should be seriously thinking about finding a replacement.

I'm most interested to see how thrawn will do in this game. He's put up fantastic results using early aggression in Master of Orion and I'm curious to see how that will translate here to Multiplayer. Some Single Player folks have done extremely well at MP and some have flopped badly because they play so differently. I'm skeptical of what I've seen posted in his spoiler thread thus far but I'm willing to be proven wrong. Should be fun to watch either way.
