Teams Groups starting to form! everyone read!

MarkG · November 11, 2002, 05:13

the first team for which i had an icon has been created
http://apolyton.net/forums/civgroups.php
members should be able to join and be in pending mode, which means that the leader should authorize them before being accepted as members

trip(and the rest of the team leaders) should pm me for the team administration url

team leaders should state their team's name, related thread, and post their icons here

ixnay · November 11, 2002, 05:14

Yes. Very cool.

notyoueither · November 11, 2002, 05:34

Why are we not there?

There was an icon, a name, and a leader posted.

Are we not allowed to change anything once implemented?

MarkG · November 11, 2002, 05:49

i thought TTA was discussing changing the name?

notyoueither · November 11, 2002, 05:56

Yes, we are. That is why I asked if it would be allowed to change after the forum starts.

We really do need a private forum, but we also need to change that name. A conundrum...

MarkG · November 11, 2002, 06:01

well if you're going to change the name you're also going to change the icon, and probably the thread as well
so why should i go into the trouble of doing the job twice?

notyoueither · November 11, 2002, 06:05

I apologise for asking you to inconvenience yourself, however one of my esteemed colleagues has protested at the spam present in the thread we launched to rename ourselves. He will not vote.

I implore you to aid us in our beseeching of you.

Our own forum would be ever so helpful in sorting ourselves out.

And besides, I don't spell like an American.

MarkG · November 11, 2002, 06:09

the private forum feature is not done yet.
i'm sure you could sort the name process in a couple of thread right here....

notyoueither · November 11, 2002, 06:15

*Sigh* I have failed.

I have gone to the mountain and the g0dz have spurned me. I shall return to my people with this tablet upon which is written 'Thou shalt name your team'.

I really hope they have not fashioned any golden calves yet... excuse me, I better hurry.

notyoueither · November 11, 2002, 06:26

Back again.

You mean the forums are not yet? That means all that is at stake is an icon?

/me readies to rush back to his people

MarkG · November 11, 2002, 06:35

what is at stake is the official forming of each team with a specific leader and registered members

notyoueither · November 11, 2002, 06:41

We are official.

We have 13 members, all registered.

I have tried to avoid it, but they keep insisting I am their leader. I have accepted my fate. Why can't you?

MarkG · November 11, 2002, 06:47

you're not an official team until you have a set name and icon

unless you want to be the TTTABSWWHARN! (Temporarily TTA, But Soon We Will Have A Real Name!" team

notyoueither · November 11, 2002, 07:16

Ok. I understand the program.

MarkG · November 11, 2002, 07:22

i have this list from arnelos

Quote:

TEAM LUX INVICTA

Name Final: Yes
Icon Final: Yes

TRASH TRIP'S ASS
Leader: notyoueither

Name Final: No
Icon Final: No

ROLE-PLAY TEAM

GLORY OF WAR

as soon as each leader confirms the name of each team in this thread, i'll create the group
i can live without having icons, but i'd like at least he name and leader to be finalized

thanks

Arnelos · November 11, 2002, 07:23

As do we (role-play team).

Markos,

We have something of a problem, however...

Our name may remain "Role-Play Team" at least on the Apolyton Boards (for purpose of civ groups and forum naming) just for simplicity and advertisement purposes, but that hasn't been finalized yet. We'll let you know whent it has.

However, our major problem is with finalizing the team icon. There's a wish on the "role-play" team to have our icon reflect the civilization we will be playing. Since teams were given until December 1st (by Trip's original post) to finalize their civ choices, we won't know for sure which civilization we get until AT LEAST December 1st.

Do you have to completely re-form the group if you switch the icon? If so, I completely understand the difficulty and it would be wholly pointless you to even form the group the first time if the icon is going to change later. We'll just have to wait.

However, if you are somehow able to change the icon without having to start the civ group from scratch (as long as the name stays the same), we might be able to get you our required information far sooner.

Thanks.

MarkG · November 11, 2002, 07:26

cross-posting...

as i added in my post above, i can live without having the icons

Ok, I've let Togas know that.

Thanks.

Spiffor · November 11, 2002, 08:59

Our Civ's choice is now definitive :
1st choice, Carthage
2nd Choice, Egypt.

We have to establish a rendezvous for the RPS contest

Jon Shafer · November 11, 2002, 11:22

Awesome Markos, I knew you were working on them even when everyone was skeptical.

PM is off.

Meshelic · November 11, 2002, 14:42

Markos looking good in here!

nye don't worry I'm fully confident our issues with our team (and the spies sent against us) will resolve itself very soon. Markos is right about us needing to resolve our name before we pick an icon....since we shouldn't use a TTA icon if we are a different name....don't worry it'll clear up soon.

Togas · November 11, 2002, 15:50

I am the official leader of the Roleplay Team. For forum purposes, our name will be "Roleplay team"

Our icon will be finalized once we beat those lousy builders who challange us for Carthage.

Bring on the Rock, Scissor, Paper contest! I will challange the your best fist warrior!

We are ready and anxious to get into our own forum and begin our strange roleplaying style.

--Togas

MarkG · November 11, 2002, 17:37

roleplay team added

waiting for builders and tta

notyoueither · November 12, 2002, 13:03

TTA (old name).

Gathering Storm (new name)
Leader: notyoueither
Icon:

MarkG · November 12, 2002, 14:36

done

btw, there is currently no check if someone is in two teams at the same time. the leaders are responsible for authorizing anyone into their teams

MarkG · November 12, 2002, 14:39

what's missing

- Roleplay logo
- Gathering Storm threadid
- Builder's team name and threadid (logo is here

, leader is Jack_www)

Jack_www · November 12, 2002, 15:05

MarkG I think we came up with a new name now, most of our team wants Legoland as our team name, but the other two members have not voted or said anthing yet but I am pretty sure it will be Legoland.

MarkG · November 12, 2002, 15:18

if "legoland" already has a majority i'll move forward. does it?

notyoueither · November 12, 2002, 16:02

Thread for Gathering Storm

Jack_www · November 12, 2002, 16:13

so far we have three votes for Legoland, the other two members of the team have not voted on it yet. So it does have a majority vote.
