Civilization Choices

Ginger_Ale · Nov 15, 2006

OK, now that we have determined that we will use the Civ3 MTDG I style of civilization selection, let's do just that.

UN Representatives, please copy this post into your forums so that your team members can discuss the following:

As a team, decide on the top 5 civilizations you would like to be. Order them, by order of preference with #1 being most preferred and #5 being least preferred out of those 5 choices. Send them via PRIVATE MESSAGE to RegentMan and Ginger_Ale (both).

We will then assign civilizations based on your lists, and use a RNG in the case of a tie for a certain civilization.

It would be nice if you could get this done by around the weekend, but this is probably one of the most important things to discuss, so make sure you weigh your options carefully!

I am thinking, wouldn't it be better for it to be first come first served. So that would mean that the team that sent in their choices first gets to have their first pick and then if there is a tie, the team that came in later would then have to go to their next choice, if both teams chose the the same first team. Thi is just a thought though.

You guys voted MTDG I style, and this is MTDG I style, so I'm not sure what you're asking for.

Let's just go with it this way now that it has been chosen.

CAn we wait until the map has been decided or should we send the list as soon as possible?

Daghdha · Nov 16, 2006

I'll join my fellow Idiot Tubs in this question. Team GONG is ok with either map first, civ choise then or civ choise first, map then. Important thing is all teams are well informed on what'll be. As I stated elsewhere, we're fine with admins deciding this.
We're leaning towards Rik deciding the map style. If others agree Rik could give us a rough outline of map style, we could make our 5 choises asap based on that, then the Great Meleet could work on the map design while teams settle on the remaining issues.
Thanks for listening gents :hatsoff:

RegentMan · Nov 16, 2006

Well, you can always submit a new list if the map changes on you.

Ginger_Ale · Nov 16, 2006

(The reason I did it this way was because, just judging from discussion in the map thread, I thought most people wanted to just leave the map, apart from difficulty, size and civs up to Rik. If you don't know what the map is like, it won't affect your selections.

)

Like Rik said, though, you can always change them.

And here's the result! If you just want to skim it, read the bolded parts.

For reference, here are the teams' choices:

TEAM GONG said:
1.Ottomans
2.Sumeria
3.Iro's
4.Celts
5.Byzan's
5.Chinese

The Council said:
1. Ottomans
2. Sumeria
3. Korea
4. France
5. Greece

TEAM BABE said:
1. Ottomans
2. Iroquois
3. China
4. Japan
5. France

TEAM FREE said:
1. Sumeria
2. Netherlands
3. China
4. Byzantines
5. Iroquois

TEAM SABER said:
1. Ottoman
2. China
3. Sumeria
4. Scandinavia
5. Babylon

So, TEAM FREE is automatically assigned Sumeria - they were the only team that had that as their #1 choice, and that trumps the #2 choices by GONG and The Council.

I used a RNG to determine a number between 1-4 (one number per team, as listed above): it was 4. TEAM SABER will be the Ottomans.

Now to GONG, Council, and BABE's second choices. Team BABE is the only one with Iroquois, so TEAM BABE will be the Iroquois.

That leaves GONG and the Council - both have Ottomans and Sumeria as #1 and #2 picks - both are gone, so to their 3rd picks. The Council has Korea, not chosen so far, so The Council will be Korea.

Only poor little TEAM GONG left - their first, second, and third choices are taken! We will go with #4, and TEAM GONG will be the Celts!

Sounds ok?

azzaman333 · Nov 28, 2006

Cool, never would've expected to see Korea in the MTDG.

Tubby Rower · Nov 28, 2006

I guess everyone will gang up on team SABER since they took everyone's choice

Excellent work GA!!

Robi D · Nov 28, 2006

I can't believe 4 teams went for Ottomans :lol:

In fact all the choices were very similar. Anyway good luck to everyone

Edit- On a side note it interesting that all 5 teams had China yet no one ended up with them

peter grimes · Nov 28, 2006

I hope you're not confusing Korea with China... I know some people who would take offence

Great system. It seems to have worked

Tubby Rower · Nov 28, 2006

No he meant China.. it's just that the council didn't have them.

Since I'm a nerd, I decided to figure out the most popular choices. I gave the teams' #1 5 points, #2 4 points......#5 1 point

1. Ottomans (20) <- Team SABER
2. Sumeria (16) <- Team FREE
3. Chinese (11)
4. Iroquois (8) <- Team BABE
5. Netherlands (4)
6. Korea (3) <- the Council
6. Byzantines (3)
6. France (3)
9. Celts (2) <- Team GONG
9. Japan (2)
9. Scandinavia (2)
12. Babylon(1)
12. Greece (1)

- Did anyone even put the Ottomans on their list in the first MTDG??

Thanks GA and Regentman!

dutchfire · Nov 28, 2006

Lucky us! I think people appreciate scientific more after MIA's display in MTDG1.

Tubby Rower · Nov 28, 2006

What about TNT's display?? :rolleyes:

they were scientific too.

I was a mememeber of KISS, but I'd bet that D'nut would have been someone not to be trifled with if TNT didn't attack so early.

Just checked ... Ottomans were tied for #1 in MIA, #6 on TNT's, not on D'nuts or KISS's list

BCLG100 · Nov 28, 2006

tubby, dude. Get out more

Tubby Rower · Nov 28, 2006

I do. But while at work I need a release. I can't access Hattrick, so nerding out on civ has to do. I dare not install civ on this computer or I know that I won't work and end up getting fired.
