I just wanted to point out two things:

1) You mentioned our last game was ~500 turns, but it wasn't on Epic speed.
2) SOOO many people skip their turns that it's highly unlikely all 280 turns will pass between tries

Last game was on epic speed actually

Yes I know a lot of people skip their turns, but I wasnt going to average out the amount of skips there are through each run of the roster and then math it out or anything :p

Heres what Ive got so far for the rosters. Could people please let me know what side you want to go on, otherwise Ill just randomly place you in one.

Seeing as Mystlord is up, this thread will become the Expansionists group

Also, it looks as if So no fek has gone and started another game for the noble people (which is looking like it will be played on prince lol) I'll give about 24 hours before I split another thread off.

If there's room for me I think I'd like to jump in this one too. I'd prefer to be on the expansionist team if possible.

@^ I'm in the same boat as this guy. If I can still play I'd like to. Don't really care where you put me to be honest.

Well, as has been mentioned by a lot of people, they're not too sure a Noble game would work. I'm sure that if everyone who wants a Noble game is capable of discussing in the thread we shouldn't have too much of a problem, and at the very least we'll have a challenge over a comp stomping. Of course we could still go with a Noble game if enough people sign up and that where we feel we should be playing.

I just figured someone should take the initiative and start the thread, because there was apparently quite a bit of interest in a lower level game, and it looks like everyone was just waiting around for someone to start it (probably you.) It's funny that there was so much posting in this thread, and yet I've only received one reply in the thread and one PM, from different people. I'll give it a few more days, and then go through the thread and PM the people who said they'd be interested in the game.

it seems like a super lack of people who want to build the pyramids, perhaps just keeping to one game would be best then?

Isn't it a highlight of this sort of event on TL where different people with different goals and idea for the game come together and play, why divide it into games where people don't have to adapt to other players decisions?

Ok then, I'll continue playing. Didn't have time recently, but I'll have time either after PL today or tomorrow morning.

One of the things about succession games is that lower-skilled players end up just doing what they're told because they don't want to mess it up for everyone else. Maybe it would be fun to have a Prince game where everyone from chieftain to immortal is welcomed and encouraged to do whatever the heck they want instead of following the collective game plan. Like last game, what if instead of space race someone just decided they wanted to invade india/japan instead and go for domination? Then again, maybe that would destroy the spirit of a succession game and take most of the fun out of it.
