NewZupdate - Wed 20 November

Spiffor · November 20, 2002, 04:23

OK, here's the NewZupdate I'd like to send to Markos in about 12 hours. If you want to add / correct anything, please do it, it is the purpose of this thread

Quote:

The PtW Democracy Game is setting up smoothly. If you want to know what the Democracy Game is about, you might want to check Spiffor's FAQ.

5 teams are now stable :

- The Roleplay Team has 21 members, and focuses on replaying history in a roleplay manner. They are ruled by Togas.
- The Gathering Storm focuses on winning the game by using the most optimal strategy. Their 15 members are coordinated by Notyoueither.
- The Glory of War wants to spill the blood of everybody. These 11 bloodthirsty generals are led by Donegeal.
- The Lux Invicta are 13 worshippers of Trip, and intend to spread their religion by using a diverse policy.
- The Legoland is dedicated to building their infrastructure in relative peace. The overmind of these 11 yellow architects is Jack_www.

Also, 2 new teams are forming, but do not have 5 players yet, which is the minimum requirement for the team to be accepted: the Cuthroats founded by flash9286, and the yet unnamed New Team founded by Jon Miller.

Each stable team has now a private forum, that only team members can access. To apply for membership, you have to declare yourself interested in one of the above links, and join one of these Civgroups. The team leader will then accept you or not, depending on wether the team is still open to new members.

Also, we now know how the game will be started :
Difficulty : Monarch
Random Barbarians
Standard map size
Random landmass
Normal - Temperate climate.
Random age of the planet.
All classic victory conditions ON, new victory conditions like regicide OFF.

Some grammar issues. Self-profread it once on your own and you should catch most of it. If there are still problems, I'm sure someone will point it out (I'm going to bed right now

).

FrustratedPoet · November 20, 2002, 04:39

Change the difficulty name from King to Monarch. This ain't Civ2.

Spiffor · November 20, 2002, 04:44

uh right

Arnelos · November 20, 2002, 04:55

ok, here's a list of typos/other errors (since I'm staying up for another 30 minutes...):

- it's roleplay, not rollplay
- bloodthirsty, not bloodthistry
- "Legoland is decidated to building their infrastructure in relative peace", not "Legoland is dedicated to build their infrastructure in a relative peace"
- "depending on whether the team is still open for new members", not "depending if the team is still open for new members"

And here's an issue we should bring up to Trip and others... You CAN'T have random planet age if you select a specific temperature and climate. All three of those have to be random together or all individually selected. If you doubt that, go start a game

Spiffor · November 20, 2002, 05:01

Thanks for the corrections, I couldn't do it myself

But I'm waiting for the Roleplayers and Flash to tell me about the spelling of their team: I've seen several times people refering to the team as "Rollplay", and the name of the Cutthroat thread is "Cuthroat".

As for the random age, I assume we'll just have to throw a die

FrustratedPoet · November 20, 2002, 05:08

a couple more things:

Do you want to leave 'crap' in there?

flash9286's name doesn't have a space in it.

Tiberius · November 20, 2002, 05:21

Spiffor, "in relative peace" not "in a relative peace".
Also in the Legoland civgroup are listed 11 members (including myself

), not 8.

alva · November 20, 2002, 05:24

There allready 11 of you

, d*mned, it seems you do more then just building

Spiffor · November 20, 2002, 05:29

Updated.
I changed the numbers to match the exact number of people in the member lists, rather than the # of people displayed in the general Civgroups screen.
It appears that the Civgroups screen only displays the memberships acknowledged by the team leader. That's why there are only "8" members in Legoland : Tiberius, Darkness Edge and Imtoops must have not been integrated by Jack_www yet (there are technical problems)

This makes the Glory of War the least populated team around. Warning, there was a defection at some time guys

Actually, you can in MP setup. Not SP setup, but you control each setting individually in MP setup.

sorry i was slepping

yeah you got the spelling right. Good job

Was there? Who?

Togas · November 20, 2002, 13:44

Arnelos is right. Our official name is "Roleplay Team"

--Togas

Spiffor · November 20, 2002, 14:04

sorry. When I wrote the NewZupdate this moring, I forgot Arnelos was a Roleplayer too

Corrected now.

FP : I don't know who, as I didn't keep track precisely on the Warmongers' members, but 'poly tells us there are 11 members in the team, while only 10 people are registered in the memberlist.

I assumed someone left the team, without acknowledgment from the leader (by the same pattern that only acnowledged memberships increase the member's numbers)
Maybe it's just a bug though...
