Hmm I think we should randomize teams, currently most people are hovering to their old teams

I think we should force the randomization of teams. It would distribute expierence and participation, and create more fun. otherwise this is just civ3 MTDG part II

I agree, Team KISS is all staying together, lets completely randomize it...ybbor said:
Come on guys...why would you guys want to do that? No one is forcing anyone to join Team KISS. We like each other, no egos and most of them make me laugh. There's a lot more than the MTDG's and this game that holds the team together.

No randomiztion. This is a facist ideal and will lead to NUCLEAR WAR
But seriously, Go out and campaign for your team, get members, get involved. If you want your team to rise above KISS then take the intiavtive, and go out there. I did it and look at me.... oh wait.... i only got 1 new member... but *drumroll* ITS
NOMAD BRYCE. He's worth 10 idiots and 1 million MIA's (seeing as there are missing and can't contribute )
But seriously, get out there and get your teams rolling. Together we can defeat the cookie monsters for the civ3 demogame. DOWN WITH THE COOKIE MONSTERS!!!

Yet you have as many as the next two teams combined, and you know that they're active. These also are not just run-of-the-mill CFC'rs off the street, they are some of the best players CFC has. While teams like Beta and Alpha have two players, and Delta has only 3. Odds are most of these players will not be active in a few months, and leadership will be few and far between. Now it's one thing to have this situation in a single game (![[c3c]](/images/smilies/c3c.gif "Civ3 Conquests [c3c]")
), but to have the same situation in both games is unfair. It's about having fun, and I don't know how much teams other than gamma are going to have with few active members and little leadership. You have the experience in the game of playing with your friends; now play in a game with new people. What do you gain by having the same tuype of fun twice?

I say that we wait until the game gets started, and then if after say 3 weeks there is no new influx of members, then maybe we should shuffle them. But this has only been up for 1 DAY!! Lots of people who are interested still haven't signed up yet. give it time!
Besides, those who stay are likely to be the leaders, so i doubt leadership will be lacking!

I don't see any compelling reason to force a divide between people who want to be on the same team. Their cohesiveness will elicit an equal and opposing cohesiveness from their opponents, at least if the opponents want to survive
Here's my promise. I won't ask anyone in the SG or PBEM forum, that's not already on Team KISS, to join our team. Though I'll say this is a very different game than civ3.
Here's another thought...it would be nice if we could have a notice stickied for a month in the PBEM and SG forums. There are some seriously skilled players that might be interested in this game.

I agree with Whomp ... if people have experienced and prefer the style that their previous team plays, well why not stick with that type of gaming ...
I am very comfortable with the reporting level that team MIA uses ... and due to the fact that I do not have cIV working ... I would want a similar level, that way I (and others) can at least follow the game ... and also in MIA everyone is encouraged to ask questions ... this is the environemnt that I want to play in ...
At the same time, I think MIA has proved (in UN threads) that we also enjoy the game to be played in a frivilous and sometimes role playing manner ... we even coined the worship of the great creator Meleet
and then later the counter culture of the RNG ... it was us that has published the first UN paper.If the core MIA team is available ... that is where I will firmly plant by butt
If one disallows 2 players that want to be on the same team to join the same team, you basically have 2 non-playing, not-posting members.
Whomp: See this idea. We will post an annoucement in the Civ4 forums for the MTDG.
Regarding the situation: I will not force complete randomization. As Rik said, I'd rather have 2 people active than not having those 2 at all. My first goal is to get each team at least 10 players - then I'm more apt to letting friends join a team. But Whomp, don't stop getting people to join the MTDG - if you want them to be on Team Gamma, fine. If they sign up on Team SomethingElse, that's good too - but the important part is someone signed up.
Simply, while I encourage mixing up the teams a bit, forcing it won't be a good idea.

Well dunno about the rest of Alpha but im fairly active in the civ3 MTDG so i see no reason why i cannot continue this with the civ4 MTDG, ok i'll have to take time out for exams but i dont mind about numbers it just means when we annihilate team gamma that victory shall be all the sweeter.
