There's no motivation to do so either so I guess I'll shut up until something interesting comes up. I guess I could ask people to give me tips on what civilization to choose Just to be clear there is no lynch until d1, which is not for another 74 hours. | ||

I didn't play AoE. I don't know what I'm talking about. Also if you turn me down, I get it. I'm just sad. Sorry for the triple post, got to go, I don't post much anyways, there's no secret guy, but there is, and I know, and you know, and this should have told you but it didn't... | ||

Will alliances be posted in the thread once D0 ends? As in, something like "Player X was allied to Y,Z,W and T", etc? Also, is this single ally we can get this Drafting Phase count for the Alliance stage? As in, if I ally with somebody right now, can I get 4 or 5 total allies after D0? Anyways, I think this is the ONLY part of the game were we don't want to kill each other since we have no Alliances going on, so maybe we could chat or something. Also I need to have my 20-page-filter thing by the end of this game, so I need to post about something | ||

Alliance making doesn't begin until after the drafting phase is over (once everyone has received their civilizations and once the map has been determined) During alliance phase you can pick up to THREE names to PM me. These are alliance requests. If any of your requests mutually send requests to you, you will be allied with those who did. | ||

I don't see any real benefit to a no-lynch. It makes sense to use the lynch to stop the strongest players in terms of night (armies, etc) since all the votes can get behind that, but even if we don't, it's almost always a good idea to use the lynch. | ||

So if I don't send any PM request this Drafting Phase, I still have to send 3 alliances requests on the Alliance Phase instead of 4? Also...ehmm....what was the difference between "PM request" and "Alliance request" again? >_> | ||

Secret buddy might have allied me back!). I personally think the lynch is mostly going to be a tool used by multiple alliances and stragglers against whichever alliance is the strongest, or if one player starts to run away with the game. If you think about it, in like a 4-team game where each team has 3 players, if someone starts a wagon on a guy, everyone who's not on his team might as well vote for him. I don't see any real benefit to a no-lynch. It makes sense to use the lynch to stop the strongest players in terms of night (armies, etc) since all the votes can get behind that, but even if we don't, it's almost always a good idea to use the lynch. Going for a no-lynch is risky as a single vote is enough to get someone lynched, as it is plurality vote system. So there will be a lynch every day. The hardest part of this game will actually be to decide whether the guys in your alliance is true to the alliance or if they are allied with someother who they rather would win with. There is a big chance that we end up with alot of broken alliances in this game. | ||

Also...ehmm....what was the difference between "PM request" and "Alliance request" again? >_> PM requests are just that. You can use PMs to talk to someone in PMs, whether it be about potential alliance partners, civilizations, strategies, whatever the hell you want to talk about. (this becomes more relevant when you actually have a civilization and a map) Alliance requests are completely separate. They're just an offer of an alliance. You can choose to PM with someone who you ultimately don't request for an alliance. You can only talk to a person you requested an alliance for if they request you too (and only once d1 begins) This separation is so that it's difficult to form larger alliances (you're forced to play a game of telephone or publicly advertise) but good communication skill is rewarded with the potential for more power through a four player alliance. EDIT: Also you don't have to send any alliance requests at all if you don't wish. If you wish to play alone you may do so. If you only want to request to be the ally of one other player, you may do so. You may request up to three other players. During this time you may ONLY request one player to PM with, however. This PM request is NOT a request of alliance. | ||

Black Forest map seems to be the most "chancy"; if you don't spawn near your allies, consider yourself dead. I'd recommend not voting for that unless you feel like spinning the wheel of fortune. Water maps seem to favor certain civs more through undisclosed civ specific mechanics. Once again, unless you and several of your allies manage to snag the sea nations, you could be put at a large disadvtage. Maps with both land and water, in my opinion, are the most balanced maps. Civs with strong sea or land units can take advantage of their abilities. Therefore, I will be voting for mediterranean. Am I trying to sway votes to a map choice that I would prefer? Of course, I do enjoy winning. But unless you can get a band of people you can trust to form some a wombo combo strat (all seafaring nations in an alliance), it's best for all of us to pick one of the more stable map choices. Lastly, let me have Saracen and I will gib you gold. | ||

Attacks are only revealed if they result in the destruction of a player. Even so, however, they will only reveal the destruction of the player and not the responsible attacker. The player's civilization will be revealed. (basically like a normal mafia death) "Lynches" work identically except players don't commit units, just votes.

But this game would be better with some chaos, some chance, knowing that you don't have an ally near you might force you to play more defensive, or may force you to attack a player earlier then planned to connect with an ally. The Black Forrest map provide for some epic action! Also this might leave the guys not in my alliance a chance not to get as easily stomped as on a straight forward map. I am just wondering who will be the first to want to be my PM buddy, and have me reveal my awesome strat to winning this game. Clock is ticking guys... | ||
