Thanks Wieder.
Yes. They are going to need a lot of luck.

I am sure this is a typo and what you meant to say is

Anyway, let's get this game started. How about March 15th. The day for settling old debts.

Thanks wieder for moving mmm2 out of our team.
mmm2 - it's a shame it took something this drastic for you to realise your moves were upsetting the rest of the team.
In a team game nuking your team mates is obviously not a good idea.

mmm was removed from our team for nuking our cities
wieder set the relationship  to peace
wieder also took away our vision of mmm's units but left him vision of our units

To go to war with mmm I had to break a treaty - in democracy this caused anarchy.
He will have vision of all my units, even inside my cities, until everyone on my team cancels shared vision.

Yes. A good change.

The game is about to start, and is currently full. But I expect there to be a lot of idlers. Very few players have logged on to any of the test games.
So. You are welcome to play on my team again.

Hopefully we can replace some of the idlers on the very first turn. It is 3*23 hours long. I think we should replace idle players 3 hours before the TC.

Team picking has slowed to a crawl because some players are hard to contact.
Can the following players confirm they are still interested and suggest a method we can contact them by.

marooned::Greek
Oleg_Olegovich::Cossacs
Zamolxis::Thracian

I am happy to be a captain. I have no problem with the idea of some players choosing the teams.
The captain does not have to have any responsibility after the choosing.
If the team want to choose a leader, they can do that after the team has been chosen.
The entire process should be transparent. Every player should know who the captains are, and what decisions have been made before the game starts.

I do not want to play in another game with secret captains.
A secret process only benefits the 'evil' players who want to keep their machinations hidden.

Well assuming this game doesn't start until after the summer. I'm in.
Although from the lack of activity on this website it looks like the game will be just the East Germans, vs the Pirates, vs a spambot called Meldcemo.

The number of teams should be an even number.
The worst decision of LT45 was to start a team game with 5 teams.
This led to an alliance of 3, one of whom was bound to win the game, before the game even started.

The second worst decision of LT45 was secret captains.

Congratulations to all on team blue, and particularly to cgalik the captain.
He defended well for the first half of the game and I wasn't able to expand my empire.

Looking at the kill ratios in the last two columns above I was top. Shame I couldn't match the production of the leading players.
Thanks to the members of my team. We played well, but were surrounded 3 against 1.

I am really surprised that team black hadn't prepared an army to take out the spaceship. I assumed they would, and went out of my way to destroy it.
If it wasn't for cgalik then presumably this army was for me. I nuked it just in time!
