as informationally(!) polled in this poll:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29875
it seems to make sense to further discuss the idea of a "turn -1" being implelented.
Now to the details of the proposal:
The "turn -1" idea is a onetime thing at the beginning of a new game. It means that the game setup itself, without any action being taken in the game, will be done offline and all necessary output will be screenshotted and the save posted on the forum.
These steps would be performed:
* The game setup will be entered as polled on, and to proove this screenshots are taken.
* The Save will be generated immediately after game setup. No action in the game is to be taken.
* The Save is to be posted in a appropriate thread for review by the community and to take screenshots of any screen needed.
Who will do this?
Thats what we could discuss. Options already mentioned were the mods and the pres of term 5 and the 1st pres of the new game. Up for discussion.
When will it be done?
To be discussed now. Options already mentioned were immediately, at the 1st of september or any other date. Up for discussion.
What are the advantages?
It will give us the possibility of having enough information to actually do things at the first real turnchat. The forum community can in total decide where to explore, where to settle instead of having a 0-turn chat at the beginning or having things to be decided at the chat.
Will it take anything away?
Well, except the excitement some people may feel when hearing the DP state: "ok, game created. I post it and by till next chat". NO. As exactly no action will be taken.
Will our rules need to be changed?
No. As the game setup does (see judical thread for detailed review) not belong to game itself and setting up the game can not be considered playing in advance nor playing at all, as the game will only be there after the creation, it is up to the administration being in command at the start of the game anyways.
Was it done before?
The 1st game was created that way i think. Any old guys left which know it exactly? I cant remember.
Now start the discussion.
After the discussion we should have a binding poll on the whole issue.
Poll options will be laid out in detail 24h before the poll and a judical review of the poll if not even a poll setup by judicacy will be requested.
