VQ Series Discussion thread

To know that you have trouble, Lord eektor, requires experience. And that is more than I haveeektor said:
.Since I'll be out of pocket next week, and since I don't have ANY experience on emperor, and since I don't want to have ANY VQ vets not playing because the roster is blowing up ... count me out!
Honestly I think that seven is too large. I'll gladly join in if needed. But if you're all up too this ... count me out!

lurker comment:
Emperor aye sounds tough. I am just getting used to Monarch. Just started a SG game and looking for players. It's at prince level, continents, Aztecs, with religious variants. Goal is to get as many shrines as possible and spread the word by sword or by missionary.
Dot maybe you might be interested. I am curious to try on Emperor but I think you have enough players. Enjoy the VQ vets/team and if you need a fill in at some point would be happy to join.

Don't worry about it dot. Just think of it as we are trading places from the last game SGOTM 1. I'll definitely be lurking and offering comments during the game, just like you did in the SGOTM.
We might have enough people for two emperor games though. We could always try two teams with the same start and see how we each did? I'm just saying because we might learn more about playing emperor if we did that.

Eektor,
If you're going to do two games for comparison I think that would be really cool. If you'll have me I definitely would like to play. I can take my turns right away unless it in the middle of the night. (and sometimes I am up though). I am at Eastern Daylight here same as east coast U.S. So it stays within the theme "Very Quick". That's the way I like it. I noticed some of SGotm are still screwing around in the BC. Too slow.
Emperor is tough though isn't it. I imagine though if you get a crappy start it can be a real challenge. I read up on this chap that played with the variant of no science and won. Read through his story and I was amazed at his tenacity and perseverance. I think he did that on monarch and won. Learned a few tricks from that story as well the "agressive trading" thread about exploiting the AI for cash. I think the higher levels takes an "out of the box" approach nes't pas?
Two teams sounds good..... and a new challenge

@eektor: I like the idea of having two teams playing the same game ... That's good. I'd be in for that!
@ChrTh:
@Cosmichail: I am interested. See pms. But maybe with t{edit:w}o games going ... ... I'm new to this ... 
... I can't estimate how much time it'll eat ...

Rosters should be selected at random, of course ...

Make it so ...
Good idea ... we are starting a SGOTM within VQ? I am really glad that we are attracting more players to the VQ series

hmm... VQ x 2! Sounds good to me! If we have 10 people willing to play, we can have 2 teams of 5. I would try to randomize as much as possible, although I would like to make sure a couple VQ vets are on each team. (Shouldn't be a problem, as long as the RNG god is kind!)
I'm still up for emperor, hopefully everyone else on the team is as well... hey, we may lose, but that's how we learn.
But, to make things confusing... or not too confusing... I suppose we should make two seperate threads?
As far as randomization, maybe I need to use the "Naughty Dice" from Fox02?

Maquis

Cosmichail, not sure if he wanted in? (edit: I see he did want in! great!)
That's nine already, so that would work, or we could wait for/recruit another... just to make the teams even numbers...

Well, I did just post something in trash-talking... although not related to VQ06a/b. Just put a little zing on for the mods.
