Order please!
FM, can I suggest you to re-post the order (the one in the other thread) we should follow?
Who's playing first?
You or STYOM?
Never did a deity game but I've tried King w/out big problems so, since we are playing with LaFayette and the Gits... I won't bet a $ on the AI...

...waiting for my turn with patience

I'm in!
Count me in.

I believe the order thus far was:

Fearless Mage
La Fayette
STYOM
Scouse Gits (one or more??)
Messer Niccolo

Any of the settings are fine with me. Fearless, since you set this up, you can choose the civ and the titles...

Play some turns, upload the save here, and I'm sure La Fayette or whoever will jump in. Standard etiquette dictates that if you can't play your turn, to post a message saying so so that the game doesn't get bogged down.

Gentlemen - have we not forgotten the Lady Mercatia?
I'm in SG[1] - (2) has yet to express any interest...

SG[1]


p.s. (in edit) Fearless_Mage it would help if you could edit your first post to show the play order once it has been established...

My Macchiavellian friend, please be my guest...

On a more serious note, can we clarify the ground rules. both La Fayette and myself are Uni Lecturers (Lecherers) by occupation and (at least in my case) interfering old farts by preference - thus we enjoy partaking in inter-regnum banter of the sort, "Which certifiable moron is building a Factory on a one square island with only 1 shield/turn production!?" We think of this as being 'instructive' and 'constructive criticism' - others see it as flaming - such is most decidedly NOT our intention -- I got the impression from the previous thread that most here would like to view this game as a fun learning experience - in which case our interregnum banter might be of some use -- but if the general consensus is that we should shut up - so be it -- I'll PM LaFayette with my whinges instead

Oh and a small point of SG (succession game not scouse git) etiquette - please save at the end of a turn before hitting the end-of-turn switch - this allows your successor to re-arrange cities/production/revolutions etc before he/she start their turn properly ...

Let the battle commence - when's my turn!!

SG[1]

1) I am definitely open to constructive criticism (both giving and receiving ).
2) I think that you shouldn't close the list of players before Mercatia has said yes or no (remember that she chose the vet spy for her avatar).

Count me in too
Is it 2.42 or MGE
(doesn't matter : I've got both of them)
We should invent a civ rather than take an existing one and found cities with great names, like in our best succession games. Gits, do you remember the big city "Julius the Moan" It was London that you renamed that way

I remember it well ...
We cursed MGE - since you cannot (as you can in 2.42) rename a city once it has been investigated - we were going to gift you Berne

SG[1]

p.s. (in edit) and this game is to be 2.42

Unfortunately my Nordic bride couldn't care less since we got a divorce 30 years ago .
Goo-goo eyes I make at all the vet spies I meet when playing civ2, and - believe me - I meet a lot (except in the Rome scenario where I meet Roman legions...: no goo-goo eyes then )

Also, if you decide to include Mercatia, Straybow and Julius B, who are pounding on the door of this succession game , we may not want to take too many turns each. (8 players x 10 turns= 5 plays each, assuming the game doesn't end by early conquest)

IIRC No

Fearless: I really think that it would be of benefit to include the other supplicants.

Wow, I see that the things are going on!
I agree with STYOM, 10 turns should be ok - at least I can't do much damage (except in case I should try to raze Rhodes ) - and, FearlessMage, could you please edit your first post with the exact order plus a little sign near the name of who is playing?

I propose that this venture becomes the antidote to the Democracy Game. The following conditions apply to a commie succession game:

1) There is a ruling Politburo of "Old Farts" (Thinks…we need some older players )
2) If Julius moans then he's sent to a Gulag for some "retraining".
3) Cities are frequently renamed by the Presidium to reflect who is in/out of favour with the Central Committee. (Could be confusing with everywhere called Scouse Farts)
4) Any defectors who go over to the Democracy Game will be hunted and eliminated.
5) Comrade La Fayette runs the KGB...but one of his spies will always report to me
6) Gits are allowed to drink wine instead of vodka.

----------------------
