Team 1 Starting Position

[CommandoBob]

I would say forget photobucket, just one more place to have to log into. Let's just use 10-turn chunk threads and if we start running out of space we can have the moderators delete old threads. I think our standard operating procedure should be to post screen shots in the turn thread each turn and have discussion. No point posting a save, since anyone who can play can just log into the pitboss.

I think I have confused you.

A PhotoBucket account is for a person, not the team. I've used PhotoBucket for several years and it has all the images/screenshots I've taken and used in threads in that time. I use it for the images I take in MTDG 2 in additon to the SGs and SGOTMs that I am in/have been in.

The attachment space is per person, also. I am using about 8MBs of storage and it is all from SG saved games.

I don't think we want to delete old threads. Close it, maybe, but we can also just not post into and let the thread die on its own.

We do need the saves in order to examine the past. True, anyone can log into the pitboss, but what you see is the current game state, say at Turn 100. But if you want to check something from Turn 99, well, you can't. The other MTDGs have been PBEM, with the saved game being sent from team to team. Checking into a previous turn is very easy with PBEM; open up the team email account, find the right save, download it and analyze to your heart's content.

Pitboss is different and we have to save a copy of the game manually, each turn. Otherwise, we cannot go back and examine a prior turn.

I do think that we need to agree upon a standard set of images from each turn. In Team FREE, that list sort of grew and got passed down from turn to turn. The Turn Player would think an image was important (like an advisor screen) and begin to add it into the turn log. And other times the team would ask for an image (zoomed out map, for instance) and that go added too. I know that when I became Turn Player I took the same screenshots as the previous Turn Player and then began to add in things I thought were important.

Our land looks horible....

You and I must have different ideas of "horrible", my good sir. This is horrible:

Your start is not horrible.

Well it is not a great start.

We could post some bogus images on photobucket.

We could create a new single player game putting us in jungle squares with a ton of resources and the post it photobucket. Then have one of us mistakenly post a link to it in the general forum. While asking Sulla or Ginger_Ale a question.

That has been done before on other games, so it is not that original.
