These two decisions will affect everything else, so they should be debated and decided soon.
Sequential 24 hour timer vs Simultaneous 48 hour timer
Sequential
+ Absolutely no chance of double moves
Simultaneous
+ Faster
+ Can add more teams without slowing the game down
+ There are reasonable rules against double move abuse that an admin can enforce
Tech trading ON vs OFF
ON
+ Easier for small teams to cooperate against the score leader
- A losing team can screw everyone by gifting all their techs to the score leader.
- The winning strategy is to let the diplomat run your team, not a very democratic process
