New member anyone?

bongo · July 15, 2003, 08:47

I've been told(by bigfree) that it's still possible to join PTWDG 1. Is someone interested in having me in their team?

What's happening here anyway, who are you and what is your goal/politics etc?

That's not exactly a simple question.

Here is MY version of each of the teams:

Legoland: the builders. Have their own continent (which they just recently decided to share with another team, more on that later). Home of the Pyramids. Carthage.

Glory of War: the name speaks for itself, though they haven't done much fighting yet. Then again, they just recently got Riders. GoW resides on a huge continent known by its inhabitants as "Bob." China.

Neu Demogyptica: the only non-Apolyton team in the game. They are from a German civ site. Dunno if they have a particular theme. They are the middle civ on Bob. Arabs.

Roleplay: again, the name says it all. They're playing up the whole Spanish thing, with the Inquisition and choice of Monarchy for government. They own the southern portion of Bob. Spain.

Vox Controli: my team's former northern neighors, they have worked out an exodus to "Legos Minor" after a minor disagreement with us. Legoland was kind enought to provide them with their new home. Persia.

Gathering Storm: my team. The closest thing we have to a "theme" is our code of honor, which we take pretty seriously. Early on we decided we would not break treaties, lie to get our way, and other things like that. We have just recently concluded our scuffle with Vox, and now control our small island continent, to the east of Bob. We have the Colossus, Great Lighthouse, and Sun Tzu. Egypt.

There was another team, Lux Invicta, that once lived on Bob, but was destroyed (oddly enough, on our continent by Vox) very early on. Their former leader, Trip, is now PTWDemogame historian, and has access to everyone's forums for that purpose. Beware the all-seeing eye!

Vox & GS have used their Golden Ages already. No one else has.

That's about all.

I don't think RP are a Monarchy any more, btw.

UnOrthOdOx · July 15, 2003, 09:15

Yep, RP recently went Republic.

Name a war we have not fought in. We are mercenaries who can be bought.

Arrian · July 15, 2003, 09:22

Depends on your definition of "fought" UnO.

I didn't know about RP's government change... somehow I managed to miss that. Interesting.

bongo · July 15, 2003, 09:30

Wow, interesting stuff. There's a lot of things happening here that wouldn't happen in SP

So, which teams are open? I guess lux invicta and Neu Demogyptica are out of the question as lux invicta are even less active than PTWDG II and my german isn't good enough to participate in a meaningful way in Neu Demogyptica.

UnOrthOdOx · July 15, 2003, 09:34

I admit it was difficult to 'fight' Lux as they disbanded all before us.

We HAVE been in each war to date, though.

Each team has their own qualifying terms.

GS and GoW you would apply and the members vote on whether to allow you in. RP, Vox, and Lego seem far more open to allowing people in upon applying. In any case, it is best to PM one of the members when you apply to be on a team. Preferably a leader...

notyoueither for Gathering Storm
Panzer32 for Glory of War
Togas for Roleplay
Jon Miller for Vox
vondrack for Lego
and Darekill if you want to try your hand at German.
Oh, and Trip if you REALLY want to join Lux Invicta

bongo · July 15, 2003, 09:46

Hm, several of the teams has qualities I like, I will give it some serious thought(and maybe a nights sleep

) before I apply.

Thanks.

Darekill · July 15, 2003, 09:47

*g* Bongo you don't need to write in german to contact me. But you should at least read german fluently if you want to join ND.
We are always looking for some people that can read and write the funny language the teams are using here and which they call english

bongo · July 15, 2003, 09:51

It could give me an opportunity(and incentive) to freshen up my german....I'm not too bad, I just need practice, lots of practice.

Can you give me a link to you site? Just so I can take a peek and see if I understand anything.

UnOrthOdOx · July 15, 2003, 09:57

Here's the one they gave us in the old SPDG:

http://www.civ2-forum.gamigo.de/for...p?s=&forumid=36

looks like things may have moved, though.

Ah, my pathetic german found a civ3 forum...http://civ2-forum.gamigo.de/

I remember I tried to register there back in the SPDG days, but couldn't for some reason...the E-mail came back to me as pure nonsense, not even german.

bongo · July 15, 2003, 10:00

I got a german 404

but understodd most of it

UnOrthOdOx · July 15, 2003, 10:02

Yeah, so did I.

I found the real place, now. Editted in.

Darekill · July 15, 2003, 10:11

This is a link that should leed you to your destination safely.

Hier ein Link der dich direkt zum Ziel führen sollte.

UnOrthOdOx · July 15, 2003, 10:16

That's a private forum is it not? Won't let me in at any rate...

Darekill · July 15, 2003, 11:24

Oh, you are right you have to be registered to enter that area. But getting registered isn't that hard to do. just an email.
Mainpage of the Webringforum

UnOrthOdOx · July 15, 2003, 11:28

I tried way back during the SPDG when you guys first contacted us. I just got jibberish back in the confirmation mail....Now, I just don't have time to be checking yet another forum.

bongo · July 16, 2003, 04:16

Got it now

I can feel small pieces of rust falling of the german part of my brain

Darekill · July 16, 2003, 04:48

fine!

bongo · July 16, 2003, 07:13

Application sent, I even included a german sentence

Darekill · July 16, 2003, 08:04

I've read it and it was well written.
I have told Arne to let you enter our privat Forum so it is only a matter of a few days now. Arne is a little slow sometimes

I'm sorry but we have no civgroup icon for you. Ah thats not quite right we have one but since we have no private forum here in Apolyton we do not get it.

Welcome to Neu Demogyptica bongo

Shiber · July 16, 2003, 08:15

I see no reason why ND shouldn't have a civgroup on Apolyton nonetheless. I think you should contact MarkG to set up a civgroup with no forum for you, so that you'd have an ND icon here in 'Poly.

bongo · July 16, 2003, 08:37

Darekill, as a fresh member I agree to that. Icons are cool (in a slightly nerdish kind of way but this not the place to yell at others because of nerdish behaviour

)

I agree, I think it would be nice for ND to have a civgroup icon so we can easily tell their posts by the icon.

UnOrthOdOx · July 16, 2003, 10:08

Just want to say Congratulations Bongo, welcome to the game. Hope you have fun. Looks like ND has plans to keep you busy if you want too.

Darekill · July 16, 2003, 11:04

of course we need a new chiefdiplomat

Bongo can do what he feels he is fit for in our Team just like any member of our team maybe he'll be consul one day. Why not?
