For all your questions about the team and the demogame that don't merit their own thread. Get help from those who have played the demogame before

I'll start; if the defense minister is in charge of all units, does that mean he is alos in charge of exploration?

classical_hero · Jul 27, 2005

I would say Yes.

Black_Hole · Jul 27, 2005

Unless you can somehow explore without units

peter grimes · Jul 27, 2005

But the defense minister will not control settlers or workers, as I read the [unratified] constitution.

classical_hero · Jul 27, 2005

You generally do not explore with settlers or workers.

It just doesn't seem to me the type of thing the military would handle- that's why I asked

About the start of the gaem: If we are player #3, does that mean we should get the save 2 days after player#1 starts?

It seems as if the game is to start as early as today.

ybbor · Jul 27, 2005

Well, we don't know the order yet

WRT the second question. It will take as long it is will to get to us, within the 24 hour time frame that each team has. Often you can get much shorter periods of time.

Is this the first multi-team DemoGame? I'm much more interested in this one than DGVII. I'm wondering what some of the veteran DG players think.

In lieu of my recent phopah (sp?) ... i have some questions regarding this ...

1. MIA has it's own folder ... I assume that all other teams have one as well ... the reason I cannot see it is that I am not a member of their team?
2. If the above is correct, does that then mean that all other team's citizens cannot see our folder?
3. It then follows that they cannot view what our latest posting was?
4. If the above are correct, does that then mean that the only way for the oposing teams to discover our starting position is if they regularly monitor and open all the graphics files posted in the CFC upload area?
5. If all are correct then we should be al right ... however I do appologize again and will use attach in future ...

I have also been using the CFC for the Victory Point screen saves ... my thoughts were that this should be OK as all teams have this information ... However I will change to using attach option ... because if they do stumble across these jpgs then that tells them that another team is at least analysing this information ... and we don't want that ...

Correct.

Correct. While you see Team M.I.A.'s subforum, Whomp will only see Team K.I.S.S.' subforum and DaveShack will only see Team Doughnut's subforum, for example.

fe3333au said:

Correct. They don't even see that your subforum exists, just like you can't see theirs.

If you upload a picture, then that is a possibility. But that would most definately violate the spirit of the rules.

@RegentMan:

Thanks for chiming in on these things. For those of us who have are new to this, your comments have been very helpful.

BUT, every time I see a comment from you I think I've accidently stumbled into a different team's forum. 'RegentMan, who's that? Not on my team! Oh Crap. I've seen somthing I shouldn't be able to!.... no, no,.... there's ybbor, and CivGeneral. It's Okay.'

what if someone has 2 accounts and the sign up with two teams? how would the mods know?

there are safgaurds to prevent users from having DL's at CFC. besides, it would be hard to share the information unless you do it by PM, in which case, the mods might notice a bit of a gap in logic between what they know and what they do. plus; we can trust someone would alert the mods

We'd know ...
But if you do suspect someone being a member of more than 1 team (or similar things); PM me and don't post it anywhere. The only thing that accomplishes is an atmosphere of distrust, killing the game. Usually the suspicions are easily proven wrong.

If there really is someone with 2 accounts, registered in 2 teams we'll discover it quickly enough.

Question regarding Orders ...
if the previous minister (with a majority poll) has decided on a city placement ocation ... and it just so happens that 1 turn prior to founding the city an election has changed ministers ... can the new minister change these orders?

A minister does not have to listen to polls ... it is ultimately their decision ...

Chamnix · Aug 20, 2005

I would think that new ministers can change any orders given by the previous ministers - however, if a minister ignores a clear majority of citizens, he will probably have a very difficult time getting elected to any other position later.

yes, they can change an order, considering they now represent have a mandate and the old minister's has 'run out' so to speak.
