Need 4 Speed

[Daghdha]

4 players
4 games: 1) The Diplomatic Koreans, 2) Ottomans in Space, 3) TBD, 4) TBD
Regent
No variants
Tiny maps
Roaming barbs ON
AI aggression medium
SGL's OFF
All random

This will be played in one take (estimate 5 hrs). Each one of the 4 players do the 20 first turns of one of the 4 games, then passes it down the roster and then buissness as usual. Only thing pre-decided is the above settings and which civ will pursue which VC, everything else must be decided on the fly. Turnlogs must be brief but informative .
So what's the catch? Well, all VC's must occur at the same date.
Date for this SG is to be decided if 3 loopey enough gamers will join me.

ROSTER:
Daghdha
Own
TimBentley
Open

Great idea Dag. I'm up for a quickie.

Own's conciense: C'mon, schools starts the day after tomorrow, you can't join another SG, you promised yourself you'd cut back.

Own: Shut up

Own's conciense: Yes sir.

I would prefer to be Babylon, domination/conquest will be easy enough.

Will all the games be on the same map?

VC's IMO should be 20k/100k (both would be too hard to time), SS, domination/conquest (both is too easy), and diplo.

Own: Shut up

Own's conciense: Yes sir.

DANG your conciense got OWNED!
well this might be super hard domination can be controlled and so can conquest SS can defidently. so those are the three id recomend. and i might sign up if noone else does by the end of the night

 

[Own]

so those are the three id recomend.

Too easy. We could time those the 20k/100k turn so those would be too easy. Timing 100k and 20k is too hard, but I think 20k and a diplo election wouldn't be.

 

[CoolioVonHoolio]

soooo the 20K would be to set the time. then the diplo and domination or conquest would be used.

 

[Own]

Yeah pretty much. And if 20k is going too fast we can always mobilize to half culture.

 

[MeteorPunch]

lurker's comment: I don't understand the variant at all. How can it be fast if there is 4 games? Wouldn't that be 4 times as long?

 

[Daghdha]

Since there is 4 players and 4 games, 4/4=1. We play simultaniously the 4 (different) games. If we keep about same pace, as soon as you've posted, you can pic up the next one. Playing on regent should not pose any bigger problems timewise.

 

[Own]

Dag, are all the games on the same map?

 

[Daghdha]

Dag, are all the games on the same map?

No, that would mean you could scout one game and use that info in the other. I'm not pickish when it comes to map settings so hitting random would be ok. That could mean you end up as Byz on a Pang or Celt on Arch. Only exception is I want tiny maps. I suggest each player choose a civ and a VC of preference (like Own Babs go conquest) and then be the one to kick that one off.

Lurker's comment: Interesting idea, Dagh. I'll be lurking around...

 

[Daghdha]

@Khan
You're welcome, and Yes, it will be interesting especially sice I have no experience of "timing" victories, ha, ha. I thought it might be fun for lurkers and ecpecially n00bies (you're excluded ) to follow the games as they evolve "live".

 

[Methos]

Lurker's comment: Definitely lurking this one.

 

[Own]

I would like Korea diplo please . What mapsize? My preference is tiny, to make it quicker, as everyone will be playing full time. Or at least small.

 

[TimBentley]

I'll sign up. Not sure what VC I want, though.

 

[Khan_Asparuh]

Dagh, I can qualify fully for the n00b category in the victory timing I would participate but I fear that I won't be able to time my game with yours... Good luck

 

[Daghdha]

@Own
Post 1 says Tiny maps and Korean diplo sounds nice. That means you will set up that game according to post 1 and play the first 20 turns, then pass it over to Tim. From me you will get "Ottomans in Space".
@Tim
Nice to have a demo-foe on deck. Welcome .

When roster is confirmed, we can start planning on date and time.
I'm at -1GMT but if we go on a weekend (likely) time differences should be no problemo, right?

 

[CoolioVonHoolio]

i cant do this one, too many sgs during school.

 

[Daghdha]

@Coolio
OK, but remember this is all in one go. We fill up with fasten the seatbelts and blast away until victory? is reached. No checking in each and every day.

 

[Own]

How about we decide on a win date now, everyone plays their own game (no save posting involved), and the challenge is timing a cultural or UN election. IIRC it's 11 turns between elections, right? Just a suggestion . So technically it's not an SG, which makes me feel better .
