If you start it's ok for me, but as a previous poll told to randomize, I guess the best solution would be a real randomizer so no one can't complain about anything. Shiber told he could do it in a previous thread, I could do it too, or let's ask to MarkG.

It is random, it was just the order of each team's first post in a random thread. And its done so we won't have to sit around for another week waiting for someone to come up with a program and prove that it actually was the results of their random program and not them just writing down an order.

[Spiffor]

I have no prob with starting the game now, but I can't talk on behalf of my team. Jack_www is our boss, and will play the game for the Legoland. The suggested order is as good as any other, as long at it gets things done.
Unfortunately, if Jack_www is unavailable, there is currently no one to replace him in our team

[punkbass2000]

Can two civs have the same colour?

[alva]

Why use a randomiser??

Take 7 pieces of paper , write the names of the team on them, put them in a "hat",..........et voila

That's okay, you were the last team to post in the thread so if any team was to not have someone who could play right away your team would be the best one as you would go last anyway.

Yeah, but how are you going to prove it was random? Post an mpeg of you pulling out the pieces of paper? How would we know you didn't do it 6 times and go with the order you liked the best?

[notyoueither]

Yes, but do you want to start with that proposed order?

Or do we want to stand around looking at each other for another couple of days?

[notyoueither]

No two teams are using the same colour.

[punkbass2000]

I also agree that, despite the hassle, we really should randomize the order. I realize that the order is random in some sense, but it is not arbitrary enough, IMO. Also, the reasoning behind it presumes that anyone who saw the thread would have posted and that whoever was here first necessarily started the thread.

[alva]

start !!!

I say go ahead, as I don't see a huge difference the play order is going to make but I wish some more people would raise their hands.

Both Lux Invicta and Vox Xontroli want Roman Red. Not only that but our civs have the same traits too... who'll be able to tell us apart when there's no immortals or sipahi?

I believe the best way to solve this 'problem' is to simply do RPS online. Quick, effective, fair and, uh, conspicuous.

Lux should get it first as they posted it days before Vox. They can choose another color or go with Persian standard.

This is taking forever, and I have to go mow my lawn.

[punkbass2000]

Alright! Too much cross-posting! If you've got something to 'say' or want to 'listen' go to the chatroom! I promise to post a report of the chat, barring any unforeseen and unfortunate events.

[Zero]

Ur absoultely right GF! I told them to at least announce which colour they were gonna use, and they stubbornly refused to tell us the status of their team. No soup for you guys! No sympathy even if you guys come to us whinign why your units are pink!

Well That would be too harsh. Come up with a different colour. If not we'll give you a 'reasonable' alternative color at our discretion.

What chat? There's no chat, its PBEM. And not everyone can access the chatroom. Already the elitists are dictating who can play............

[OliverFA]

This is the RolePlay group situation:

We have all our available members in a chatroom at irc. We would like to prefer to wait for GodKing (our great leader's subtitute) but we'll play in behalf of the team if we have to.

[notyoueither]

When did Vox post in the gathering thread about a team colour? All I saw was Persia.

[nbarclay]

According to GhengisFarb's post, both Lux Invicta and Vox Controli are listed as Roman Red. Is that a misprint or a conflict that needs worked out?

And do we really distrust each other so much that we think someone would cheat in choosing a random start order? If so, it bodes ill for the integrity of the rest of the game.

Of course the elitists are dictating who can play! Requiring access to this forum is elitist.

By chat I mean the Apolyton chatroom. Geez. And it's not 'official' and I am not trying to start the game with it, I just want to be able to communicate more efficiently than this.

[GhengisFarb™]

I just copied each team's final post I'll go double check.

Yep, they wanted Roman Red, but I think they'll be okay with something else as they pretty much understood we were leaning towards a first come first served sort of thing.

Besides they're Canadians, they NEVER get angry.

[Shiber]

Dammit people, if you really don't trust each other then ask MarkG to randomize the order (or pull pieces of lego, I mean paper out of a hat or something).

[notyoueither]

OK. Thanks GF, I had not found that info. Must need new glasses. I can give them Japanese red.

[punkbass2000]

I say RPS still! It's fun and random

But the Rural Postal Service takes weeks...............

[punkbass2000]

Maybe you should just give our team Japanese red. You should have seen the vote. It was decided by one voter, who voted arbitrarily. I'm sure we'd be just as happy with Japanese red. I would have voted for Japanese if I knew it was going to lose

[Zero]

Give who Japanese red? We had a poll about our whether to go with japanese red or roman red... I personally voted for japanese red and still favor it. However due to majority request that I honor, I must insist we keep roman red for us if possible.

EDIT: Nevermind. information was on previous post.
