SG competition

Hi all,

Was just wondering if anyone would like to play some serious SG.
Two teams of 5 are given a goal. The team that completes this wins.

Type1a:Conquer the world first person to do it wins.(game time i.e. 1500AD)

Type1b:The same but in real time i.e. 3 days 14 hours 7 minutes after bothe teams start playing.

Type2: Most points by 2300AD.

Type3:Achieve diplomatic victory, do not take over any opponent cities.

You get the message, think of your own or say which one of these you like.
Game starts Saturday next 1am GMT.

I see a problem with this.

Assume 2 teams, team 1 and team 2.

Team 1 play faster and get further ahead.
Team 2 see team 1's map/chronicle and know where foreign civs are.
Team 2 now have no need to spend 2000 years exploring.

See, its not going to work

The simple answer is that we dont make reports on the game, but just post like CTP PBEM ie. "game to player X"

I'll play, but from next week, I'll be unable to play real-time, due to my exams.
The other problem is that of 22 people currently interested in SGing, I think only about 12 post here really regularly, and at least 10 would only be interested in playing one game at a time. It could be hard to get 10 people playing.

What I found fun with my friend was CivDoubles, like a succession game with just two players.

Yeah we might have to wait until Game threes finished. I mightn't actually be able to play much myself. I'm already playing two SG games and have exams coming up wednesday week.

I'll play, Darkknight!

You'll supervise it, right?

It will be great to just sit back and play for a change.
