This is simply a final poll to make sure that the majority of players are happy with our choice of mod and faction. Please answer either yes or no to both questions.
Voted yes for ERE, and no for SS 4.1 due to CTD and other unresolved technical issues. I'm now leaning towards FH's vanilla mod.
I voted yes for the ERE, love them!
But I went with Yes and No for the mod. I'm not that fond of SS 4.1 after having tried it. Though I guess that has more to do with BC being so good in comparison. SS 6 on the other hand...
Then again SS 4.1 is alright I guess.
voted yes yes (though like lemon, I think SS6.1 is farrr better than 4.1) , is there a waiting list for avatars anywhere?
is so, put me down on it.
Econ21 will pick who gets the starting family members. And then we will just recruit enough generals in the first couple of turns for everyone to have one. :yes:Quote:

If SS has stability problems my vote for both could change (curse those ugly vanilla ERE skins! :clown: ).
econ21 hasn't logged onto the forums since the end of March. If he isn't around by the time we're ready to start the game, I will assign the starting avatars and lands. They will be assigned with the same method they were in KOTR: by number of votes that the person participated in the previous game. The more active you were in KOTR, the higher you will be on the list. Top person gets to pick whichever avatar they want, or defer for a recruitable. After the top person has picked or deferred, we move down the line until all starting avatars are assigned. After that, we keep moving down the list as recruitables become available.Quote:

Voted no for SS 4.1, would prefer vanilla mod...I might go play it now.
I expect everyone to have an avatar by the end of the first Chancellorship, even people who didn't play in KOTR at all. This will not be a repeat of the first few months of KOTR.
Doh! I participated in every vote I was aware of, but I'll be handicapped since I joined in the latter half of the game. Ah well, I'm pretty used to recruitable generals. ~:joker:
I had a family member in the first game so I will defer to a recruitable in the second no matter what my place in the order of things.
:egypt:
Bwa-Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
15!
Bwa-Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Oh. . .um. . .yes.
After the test game, I'm not even sure I want a high rank. :laugh4:
New rules + mod I haven't played before + a huge amount of landless avatars clamoring for action + undeveloped cities and small armies = Ulcer
Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to the game, but I do envision some growing pains.
Also TC's (and it seems Ramses's) noblesse oblige intent of taking a recruitable general would cast my claim to the Basileus as somewhat shallow. :sweatdrop:
I think I'm missing something. Is fifteen the number of elections you participated in?
I gave up the chance to have a FM right when I joined the last game because somebody had been grooming him as a replacement avatar. Given a choice I wouldn't mind starting with one this game, but I won't be unhappy if I get a recruitable general, either. :yes:
Yeah, econ21 and myself voted in 15 elections, putting us at the head of the queue. Other lifers like TC and GH have 14.
To quote the Simpsons, "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."
Should it frighten me that I recognize every single Simpsons and Futurama quote you use? :clown:
What is my mighty number? 5? 6? :dizzy2:

Well, someone has to do it, and we could do far worse than having a veteran like you take the FL and use the auto-Chancellorship power on the first term. Plus, starting FLs tend to be a bit on in the age stat, so they're not around forever.Quote:

So, I have no problem taking a family member if one falls down the tree that far. :clown:
There are a couple little bugs in the AI phase of an event trying to occur that can't. I came across one in my AAR I eventually gotten past it but it was a little annoying so I could only imagine the implications of a PBM and have to erase the last 5-10 turns to get past the bug and CTD to move to the next turn.Quote:

Just realized something interesting. With Tincow and Overknight taking RGBs (Ramses as well, although he's in the 2 election group with me, I believe :clown:) I guess that means starting FMs will be going mostly* to returning players who left before I joined KOTR. A whole new group of people to suck up to (or annoy, depending on what kind of traits my character has)! ~;)

There are quite a few people ahead of us. And EF is ahead of you. But not me... :clown:
*edit*
I forgot Cecil. (sorry Cecil...) ^_^
Ok, so depending on how things go I might recognize most of the starting members. About half of that list is still people I vaguely know of, but have pretty much never interacted with, though. :clown: Because I joined late in the game, right in the middle of the Cataclysm, a lot of the old guard seem to have already taken a break from the game. :yes:

It's ok, you can forget Gib, it looks like I won't be participating much :embarassed:
still having trouble getting your parents to accept a mod?Quote:

Yeah, if we're starting soon I'll have to defer as well.Quote:

Actually, instead of deferring, I could, in theory, trade spots in the list with someone, since that would not affect anyone else's position. I accept monetary bribes.
My parents are quite adamant at having software like that on their computer. They let me use FH's Kotrfix because I called it a "mini-patch." It is her work computer, and if anything happened to it we'd be boned.
