    Default Another Grand Campaign Hotseat

    Hey everyone. I've been hoping to start one of these, and some interest has been showed in the poll thread, so this is the official sign-up/OOC thread for my Grand Campaign hotseat.

    Here are the factions, and their players if assigned.

    England- Privateerkev
    France-
    Holy Roman Empire -
    Spain-
    Venice- Zim
    Byzantine Empire-
    Hungary-Cheetah
    Scotland -Ignoramus
    Denmark- deguerra
    Poland- FactionHeir
    Russia-
    Milan- Overknight
    Portugal-gibsonsg91921
    Moors-
    Egypt-Ramses II CP
    Turks-
    Sicily-Elite Ferret

    This will be version 1.3, and an admin enabled game. I'll have a longish list of rules in a bit, culled from the other hotseats (including mine ).

    I've played Egypt a bit, but as with Poland in the first MPC I've never taken her all the way through the game. Should be interesting.

    Now, where should me and the Turk draw the line, eh?

    Well, Ramses, I think that depends on whether anyone plays Turkey or not. Although I think I know someone who will want to.

    It's nice to see a Muslim faction and so many smaller factions being taken in this one.

    Hey guys, I'll probably make some kind of thread where IC public diplomacy can be done. Would you like it to be somewhat like my Britannia game one? Any ideas are welcome.

    Sure, both the council and the salon is a great idea!!!

    Also, the papal states should be kept as AI, IMO it would be too powerful in human hands.

    I agree with a council and salon. IMHO they really add to the game.

    And I agree that the papacy should be AI controlled.

    Did I put the Papacy on the list? I can't find them there.

    Ok, as soon as we have more players I'll make those threads. I just wanted to make sure that a Council, even a powerless one, didn't stretch believability too much for anyone. I think it adds a lot to my Britannia game, and will do so here as well.

    I'll be Portugal, but give this a more creative name! I'll try to be more prompt than I usually am. I don't think it will be too much.

    Sounds good, gibsonsg91921. If you have an idea for a name for the hotseat, tell me and I'll get a mod to change the title of the thread (or just have this one closed and start one there).

    I think we should call it The Inevitable Rise of Egypt.

    Or maybe Holy Hegemony: Europe under the Heirs of Ptolemy and Muhammed.

    Obviously a vote is in order. There are 12 hours left to pick a name for this game.

    Contestants:
    -The Inevitable Rise of Egypt
    -Holy Hegemony: Europe under the Heirs of Ptolemy and Muhammed
    -Medieval 2 Total Diplomacy
    -Insert snappy title here
    -we don't need a title. we just kill things
    -3D: Deguerra's Danish Domination
    -The Rising Storm
    -MTW2: The Fruit Wars
    -Medieval 2: Total Agriculture
    -We're nerdy, even for the Throne Room


    Possibly serious choices to come later.

    How about: "Oh my God, not another Hotseat..."

    Or, "Insert snappy title here"

    Or, "we don't need a title. we just kill things."

    Or, "Proof that nerds, the internet, and too much free time can produce frightening results."

    Or, "when you need something to do while your waiting for your other Hotseat savegame to come up..."

    2 of yours were too long, PK, so I cut them. And that last one mostly applies to the two of us, since we're in the largest number of these things.

    Do not underestimate the nerdiness of the Throne Room.

    That is both my reply and another nominee for a title.

    If any potential new players are reading this, we still have lots of openings. In particular, we have a big vacuum in Central/Western Europe that a strong French or HRE player could easily fill.

    More Muslim factions are also particularly welcome.

    Too long again, PK. One more like that and your choices for title will be stricken.

    That's it, away they go.

    Ok, if we actually are going to change the name, we need something that will not scare away people unused to how wierd we are.

    I don't really care, either, but gibsonsg91921 suggested that we come up with a better name.
