We have only 6 turns to make a final decision on where to place our 2nd city. There was some good discussion earlier on making it a general settlement plan decision. What we need for that is dotmaps along with analysis of what each city in the proposed arrangement gets in terms of tiles and...

Shortly, we will need to start making tech and build choices to support a general strategy. Military, financial, wonders, expansion, espionage, diplomacy -- what style of play do we want to pursue? Of course it's not a choice between these elements, rather a balance of them that leans toward...

We don't have contact yet, but we should be prepared for it anyway. How do we want to handle contact with another team? Does it matter who the other team are? Does it matter if they find us, we find them, or our explorers meet in neutral territory? I'm in favor of having a plan in advance...

I guess I'll get things started for turns 1-50. Turn 1 We still need a final decision on where to settle. Do we care the exact move the warrior makes? If so please specify so a turnplayer can do that and get the updated screenshot. Have we decided first build and first tech? If not...

Here is a thread to discuss ideas for possible naming schemes. I'll toss out some ideas to start with. Possibly a little too crazy, maybe not... Lawyers A theme based on different legal concepts, terms, etc, like "Objection", "Sustained", "Overruled", "Prosecutor", "Pro Bono", etc. This...

I'm having a connection problem (with the MTDG mod test game) where it initially connects OK, I choose civ and enter password. It starts downloading the save, but stops partway through and says the connection was lost. On the pitboss side it logs an error message. After several tries (as few...

There are a couple of pitboss games noted in the main MTDG forum which are open to any team members, and that's fine. But one of the things I've seen work very well is to have a pitboss just for members of our team, to get to know each other's MP skills and keep each other interested. Anyone...

The US Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that a sex discrimination lawsuit against Wal-Mart does not meet the conditions for class action status. Link to story I think the Justices got this one exactly right, even the liberals joined in on the overall decision. I'm all for equality and...

Amazon have posted an invitation for refugees from Merlot and Mavs to join them. Do we want to do the same?

Should we set a really high timer for the holidays? Merlot suggested 999 hours. I think yes.

It appears the current proposal is to have Merlot's team play both their and Mav's civ. IMO it gives them the advantage of full control without any of the penalties they would get from assimilating the cities. The other main idea that had been discussed was sending some players over as a...

After 90 turns in the pitboss BTS Multi-Team Demogame II, the teams have finally pieced together the world map. Each team has an England-style starting island, separated from the main continent by a narrow channel. The six teams played a variety of openings: Philosophical Team Mavericks...

After some rather heated discussion in the warmup game, I'm concerned that some of our allies might reconsider their treaty positions. Any ideas on how we can feel that out without making it worse?
