My, oh my, what have I done...
Ok, so to sum it up a little:
1)
Peace or battle?
Peace Only: Raiser, Jet, DaviddesJ*, Welnic, Lynxx for a total of 5 (4?)
Peace and war: me, Dr Elmer Jiggle**, patagonia, pigswill for a total of 4 (3?)
scherbchen is undecided.
PeteJ has(had?) no opinion. (subtle difference)
*seemed in favor, but I don't want to put words into anybody's mouth
**want to play or was it just an opinion?
Can we also vote on:
2)
Gandhi for Peace Only,
Monty for peace and war? Propose a leader if you don't agree. 500 words at least on why he/she would be suitable for our challenge.
3)
Continents? should prove to be more interesting: race to optics, astronomy or mind your own business back home? If so, normal number of AIs on a standard map. If Pangaea normal number of AIs or smaller? If Great Plains means that you'll get better places for cities in my opinion it will be less of a challenge. Build cities anywhere, make gold. Ugh.
4)
Prince? Otherwise we'd very likely outtech and outsettle the AIs and there will be less fun to it. State your level if not.
5)
time as only victory condition? Also, we end the challenge in 1800AD. Only Jet expressed a different opinion here. Sorry, mate.
6)
Great Merchants allowed for anything: ligthbulbing techs (yeah, right), trade missions, settling.
In case of a tie in any of these, we'll bow to scherbchen's choice.
-------
My votes:
1) battle! (d'uh)
2) yay!
3) continents, normal number of AIs
4) Prince.
5) 1800AD. time victory.
6) yay!
