News: SGOTM 12 Sign Up Thread

[ControlFreak]

Thanks, ControlFreak, I was just waiting and waiting, and finally someone noticed my pleas for acceptance (just a tinge of sarcasm.)

I have always wondered how it is even possible to win a Deity game, let alone survive until the industrial age.

Feudalism should be interesting, as I have only used the gov't once before...

I was off the forums for a few weeks when you posted originally. I'm waiting for our team thread to be opened so we can give you a crash course on playing deity. (I don't want to spoil any of the other teams. ) I've read through most of your 50 somthing posts and have a few words of advice. And as my team members will attest to, Brainy Smurkz "few words" are usually several pages....

this may be deity.... but it's not deity, too. I'm not sure if it's easier or harder - the tech pace will be murder to start with, though...

I'm really looking forward to seeing the effect of all the civs in the game. This may indeed prove harder than normal deity in terms of keeping up in techs...or much easier in terms of diluted AI power.

Skates on. Sign me up with Wacken after getting a PM from Paul. I dont know what the name of the team is.

You're kinda fast, young man... I had wanted to prompt Klarius first. Now it's a little bad style, I hope nobody feels bad about it

However:
Former team Shaka (to be renamed) found a way to start for their title defense.

I regret to withdraw from team Klarius and start a new team Thea (working title, discuss in SGotm11-thread Shaka please), consisting of:
Abegweit,
Markh,
Killercane,
WackenOpenAir and
Paul#42.

Sorry I thought I was on a quick timetable to sign up per AlanH after noticing the signup late.

 

[Abegweit]

To make it official, I wish to sign up for Team Whatever-It's-Named too.

 

[markh]

I also officially request to be put into the former Shaka team, so Smart can have my spot in the Zoo.

 

[Whomp]

AlanH if it's not too much trouble. Eldar's cat passed away today and we'd like to change our name from Team Zoo to Team Zoe if that's possible.

 

[I. Larkin]

May I ask, before game starts: Was AI moded somehow? Will they build Wonders as ususal and research Monarchy, Republic etsc.? Will they go to war with the same motivation as in normal game?

 

[AlanH]

So. After this last minute scramble by Shaka Thea Spooks, the line-up looks like:

Ivan: I. Larkin, AutomatedTeller, glenmetz, nerovats, Nitfan

klarius: klarius, Mighty Dwaarf, Northern Pike, Ronald, TimBentley, Wotan

Regular: Wardancer, archphoenix, madviking, PaperBeetle, socralynnek, Taxpayer'sMoney

Smurkz: Niklas, CommandoBob, ControlFreak, McLMan, sercer88, zyxy

Spooks: Paul#42, Abegweit, killercane, markh, WackenOpenAir, (Andronicus)

tao: tao, Furiey, ignas, MacBaldrick, Tone, wxwindmill

Team Zoe: Whomp, Beorn-eL-Feared, Bucephalus, sanabas, Smart, ThERat, zerksees, (eldar), (gmaharriet)

X-Nuts: leif erikson, AVN, bluebox, civ_steve, denyd, DJMGator13, Mathilda, (WillowBrook)

Is this the will of you all? Have I missed a twist in the plot?

@Ivan: No, the AI has not been modified. If it had been it would have been stated in the game parameters.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

gmaharriet as a lurker on team Zoe, the rest checks good

 

[leif erikson]

X-Nuts looks good to me.

Thanks as always.

 

[Whomp]

Again I'm not trying to push people off our team but we have 7 while some others have 5.

 

[Niklas]

I think some teams don't mind playing at 5.

Roster for Smurkz looks good.

 

[Abegweit]

Again I'm not trying to push people off our team but we have 7 while some others have 5.

Maybe it'll help you finish on time this go around?

 

[Whomp]

Good point though this is a different team. I have some new teammates with civ A.D.D.

 

[eldar]

Plus one or two "official lurkers" who may decide to jump in at any time?!

 

[Andronicus]

Not playing but wish to apply for job as official lurker for Team XHagar-XLiz-XShaka (? Thea)

 

[Mighty Dwaarf]

Sorry I'm a bit late, if its not too late I would like to sign up.

1> Comfortable at Monarch, above depending on start position
2> This will be my first SGOTM
3> Any team that will have me

 

[Smart]

Again I'm not trying to push people off our team but we have 7 while some others have 5.

I talked with Beorn and he said that it's ok, X-Nuts have 7 players too. But if our team leader wants to do something, please tell me plainly if there is something wrong, now I feel somehow inconveniently

Your advice is always welcome.

EDIT: Alan, could you change our team name to Spooks?
