Would there be any interest in four captains alternatively drafting/selecting players for their four teams so that we get to know different players and perhaps make the outcome less predictable?

Is there a count of the number of players interested?

Encouraged that another game is even a possibility. Hope it happens.

Different strokes...

Thanks, Fippy. Where is your summary?

Interested in having the discussion, but have been waiting for the summary RRR refers to. Is it posted? Also, please explain this: "Bulbing Mass Media on turn of victory vote and rushing Broadcasting Tower is Genius. That is a game changer."

Game was fun and challenging. Appreciative that I had the opportunity to join the team. Many thanks NZ. Hope you'll consider another one. Unfortunately, COVID isn't going away tomorrow. I'd be interested to know what you two perceive to be reason the faster teams beat us.

I can, but not for about 10 hours, so will be pushed by the deadline. If RRR wants to finish it sooner, that would be fine, if he'll just post his intentions. Sorry you're feeling bad. These days anytime anyone is sick, I think COVID. Hope it's just something you ate.

Looks like RRR has set us up well, and I can't find flaws in the plan, so proceed with all deliberate speed.

Looks good. Awaiting report. What happened to the GGeneral? I see that we have gotten his benefits, but can't find his unit. I have some time tomorrow morning (in about 9 hours), if needed, but not sure I can get in 9 turns. RL in the afternoon. I have some anxiety about how the AP vote works...

I don't have much discretionary time today, so pleased that RRR can play. Don't we also need a factory in TC? Given all the movement of missionaries and a GGeneral at the end of the game, perhaps we should consider upgrading a galley. Certainly the existing ones should be pre-positioned. Is...

Got back home late, but have looked at thread and save. Gather the plan is to complete Refrigeration and research to Industrialism and Fascism before Superconductors. Understand the logic of gifting Refrig. Wondering if trading for, and gifting, Rifling would be worth a try, as well. (Believe...

We can get back into Slavery at end of second GA. It's an elaborate plan. Go for it, and play on. I will not be available during the day tomorrow. BTW, it doesn't show, but Bis has researched Mil Trad.

We would only need one, but waiting for two would protect against the unlikely Great Priest or Artist. We have little to build or whip right now, so do we want to stay in Caste and Pacifism and perhaps even switch to Merc this turn? Would Peter's research benefit from a gift of gold? I will...

Wish you had mentioned Mercantilism, because I switched to Free Trade and that made life difficult. (Should have been obvious, but never crossed my mind.) Here is report and will post at Central momentarily. T185 (1250 AD): Trade Education to Peter for 150 gold; trade Bis Divine Right for 10...
