Igor1, The Dawn of the Idiots

Couple things here:

First off, I'm lost on what the variant is now. It's changed so many times that I can't keep up with it. Someone want to help an idiot down the path and clarify it for me?

Second, I have no idea what score I would come in as. The last solo game I completed was probably at Monarch or Emperor, and wasn't at all recent. IIRC, I did participate in Romeo1 tho. Whatever, give me a 5 and call it a day.

Actually Sesn I would rank you as an 8 or 9. You were doing some pretty crazy diety games right before you left. (Rotten Apple was pretty dang cool)
Since there has been some layoff time, but c3c is like riding a bike I will award you an 8.
I have the following scores for picking teams
Tomoyo -8
Sesn -8
AK -6
Whomp -6
Sw -4
I have the following people at the various levels that haven't checked in yet.
Bede -10 Any doubt check the mag 7 thread.
B-E-F -4
Plarq -5
Viper -7
Daghda -4
Madviking -3
I have 11 players with the 2 captains being Daghda and Madviking.
Let me know if my roster or my ranking is in error. Not intended to hose anyone, but to make for the most balanced games possible.
 
@ romeo :worship: thanks for doing the teams. sure you don't want in? team of your choice since you're making them up. thought I had 2 teams of 5 but obviously i miscounted. :) Still say I should be counted as a 1. :crazyeye:
 
OK, so let me summarize everything up here and see if I've got it all.

Barbaric - We just can't build any culture at all, with the exception of small wonders. IIRC, captured GW's don't produce any culture, correct? Well, with the notable exception of ToA.

Opium Barons - dictates the number of wars we fight as a function of the luxuries we control at the beginning of a certain age. If we are maxed out on luxuries (native, not imported), then we may not fight a war. Does this mean we must cave to all demands? What about defensive wars? I imagine we would have to take the first peace offer we get? Can it at least be the first peace offer that we don't have to make concessions?

Crackhead research - we will apply this concept to self-research as well. So the absolute maximum number of techs we can self research would be 32 throughout the game. In reality, the number will probably be closer to 20 or 25, including the 8 in the AA. And we will probably be buying/stealing/whatever most of the techs in the Modern Age.

Did Whomp's variant completely fall by the wayside?

EDIT: Romeo, I think you may be being generous with my rank, but you're judge and jury here. Rotten Apple was really fun, I want to play that one again. Are those the actual teams? I see it's pretty even, with the scores being 32 vs 33, but I'm inclined to think not since you have both captains in the same section.
 
Those were not the teams listed above. Therefore I will play mix and shake with the authoritative formula of because I said so.
The fairest way I could do this was to have the average scores as colse as possible due to the odd numbered player
Team mad monk soX fan menegarie or MMSFM for short
Mad Viking (Captain)
Bede
Sesn
Whomp
Plarq
B-E-F

Team Anime idiots
Daghda (Captain)
Viper
AK
Tomoyo
SW

I could explain the exact mathematical formula behind this but I don't think anyone wants to hear about Bessel functions in polar coordinates. :mischief:
Good luck gents, I will be kibitzing as needed.
 
sesn & romeo have it correct per my abilties. if romeo won't commit, how bout bede PM's the player of his choice for a 12th? ok all?

but I don't think anyone wants to hear about Bessel functions in polar coordinates.

my cranium just exploded... :lol:
 
Ok that would be fine, but then I would have to redo the teams again. No problem here.
 
7 is probably good for me, although I admit I'm not entirely sure about culture and diplo wins since I rarely do them.

With the addidiont of m60 to team anime we realign the teams as follows.
Mad Viking (Captain)
Bede
Sesn
Whomp
Viper
B-E-F

Team Anime idiots
Daghda (Captain)
Plarq
AK
Tomoyo
SW
m60

I swapped Viper and plarq and added M60. This way the names still line up and the averages are still fairly comperable.
 
M60 is in as our 12th. the roster is closed (absolut, positive now)

@ M60 - rate yourself per romeo's prior post so he can redeo the teams if need be.

Tubby's map looks nice after a very short peak. ok with all if we have different civs start from the same place with the same Ai and go for the same win (space)?

edit: romeo's way too efficient :goodjob:
 
Hmm... I wanted to play with Sesn... :(

But I guess I'll have to do that in another game. :D
 
I love it when a plan comes togethor...

variants:

Barbaric - We just can't build any culture at all, with the exception of small wonders. IIRC, captured GW's don't produce any culture, correct? Well, with the notable exception of ToA. if you capture the ToA, you must raze it

Opium Barons - dictates the number of wars we fight as a function of the luxuries we control at the beginning of a certain age. If we are maxed out on luxuries (native, not imported), then we may not fight a war. Does this mean we must cave to all demands? noWhat about defensive wars? defensive wars are fineI imagine we would have to take the first peace offer we get? only if the AI is willing to give up the lux permanently

Crackhead research - we will apply this concept to self-research as well. So the absolute maximum number of techs we can self research would be 32 throughout the game. In reality, the number will probably be closer to 20 or 25, including the 8 in the AA. And we will probably be buying/stealing/whatever most of the techs in the Modern Age.correct

teams look good. anyone want a swap?

The discussion is now on what civs to have the 2 teams play. Being an idiot, I always have fun with Ugly (mongols) and Honest (abe). Discussion is welcome. Not looking to start for at least a week (more likely 2)
 
no problem with the guys in boats with big axes.

@MV, maybe you should talk to someone about your fixation with the 'zerkers? :lol:

@romeo, appreciate your calculations on the teams. IIRC, I last guessed edison on your avatar. So who is he?
 
*Ahem* There will be no trading of our franchise player.
BTW B-e-F is higher rated than 4. 6 or 7 more likely.
