Upcoming polls

[Sommerswerd]

Please we need polls for the name of our second WB and a Runoff poll between Wheel and Masonry.

I'm thinking about how to do the pyramid building vote. I think the best way to it is to not go into the details of build orders, chops and whips, but vote on the general approach.


What will we do in Them?

A) Build the pyramids as fast as possible
B) Build the pyramids, but allow a small delay to stimulate expansion
C) Do not build the pyramids

Option A would mean that we give it all we got: we use all resources to get the pyramid asap and beat our opponents.
Option B means that we allow a delay of approximately 5-10 turns with respect to the optimal scenario. This delay is used to accelerate expansion.
Option C means we do not build the pyramids.


After we have voted on the general approach the turn-to-turn details can further be discussed in the turn thread.

Let me know what you think... is there an option missing? Should the 5-10 turns be replaced with another estimate?

I think that is a very appropriate poll. It touches on all of the options that have been discussed. Sounds good to me.

Some plans have been submitted - lets use those #s of turns as the value for the # of turns delayed. Though I think 5-10 is about right.

We will have Poly in 3 turns so we need a next tech poll up soon. While Mono for Religion makes the most sense we need to make considerations in the poll if another team gets it first etc...

So can I formally request a poll on building the GW in Them.

Yes of course. Any AMAZON can request a poll, but the way you formally request a poll is to post in this thread what you want the poll to say (poll choices, etc.)... For an example of this, see Norton I's above post...

No big deal, though for this time around. No point in needlessly obstructing the poll since I think I have a pretty good idea what you are wanting. Just remember for next time to post your suggested poll options in this thread, along with your poll request.

So for this poll I will post the following unless someone has a better choice of options before the end of the turn:

Our build in Temiscyra is currently set to The Great Wall. Shall we:

1. Continue building The Great Wall

2. Switch to a Granary

The poll will be a 24 hours, so that if we are switching we can do so before the next turn (t 53) ends. We dont have enough time to make the decision for this turn (t 52).

Thanks Sommers

How many hammers are invested in the GW as of now. Also we might as put up the poll ASAP so that if we get responses fast we don't needlessly invest hammers. I think you and I have debated this pretty well already so most of the team should know where we stand.

I can answer that. Right now we have 21/150 hammers into the Great Wall. With Them expected to produce 6 hammers this turn, with us growing in 2 turns. I plan on doing a bit of looking at our micro situation. I'll post all the starting figures so anyone can work on it.
