Stockie, think of it this way..
We're saving you money, bars are expensive.
(So are women..)

This is a mixed game of BYOC and solos-corped-together. It was a big debate throughout the entire "turn circuit game voting thread." I wonder how you missed the whole like, 6 pages of conversations about how this game is a mix of both.

The solos who signed up would have been random draw for teams if more were signing up. For example, if 8 people woulda have signed up solo, we would have run a program that would have randomly assigned those 8 people into 2 teams of 4 players.

In the case that we have now, where we have 1 BYOC team that only has 3 players and 5 solo players have signed up, one of those solos is going to end up on that team of 3 to make 2 teams of 4. It only makes sense.

1) No corp is going to come to the game one man down. Thats just askin' for trouble. If you bring 3 people to a 4 man corp game.... Your team would be automatically down, in this case, 1000 turns per day, every single day, and just would. not. stand. a. chance. In fact, you make yourself a target 'cause you are incapable of making as much money as a team that is full.

2) Why would we make the odd person out (the 5th solo player) sit this game out when there is a team that only has 3 people on it? It would not only be mean but unfair.

Umm, I'm confused. I have kept pretty good tabs on this particular thread and nowhere did I read that the "solo's" would be picked via random corp generator. If I am wrong then please excuse me.

And if there is a corp of 3 ppl why can't they choose to enter the game one man short? I never read a rule to that effect either.

Unreal

I dont recall that being discussed either. This game should be open to whoever wants to play. It is a BYOC, isnt it?

i think we should keep out randoms and solos.
the only thing that will come from them are people crying megacorping.

well, I thought originaly this whole turns circut was all gonna be random corps not byoc.  I'm not makin a fuss, but lets get over this and play a game.
 

Welp if you read the threads from the game before this it was expected that the game play would change each game to spice it up. One time would be the random corp generator and the next would be BYOC.

The settings such as; turns, corp size, sectors, time limits and such would all change each game.

Well seeing how neither of those things affect me I really don't care, All I want to know is the official bang date.

Friday at 9pm EDT

Laff they do that nomatter what

Thought it was Saterday at 10pm EDT.... 9pm EDT is only 6pm for us Westerners. Some people work..

Dude, seriously... how can we be back to this?

1) People wanted BYOC.

2) People who were solos who don't have regular corps said "F U, we want to play too."

3) So this game is a MIX of BYOC and SOLOS who signed up to play RANDOMLY CORPED.

fork and MisB... if you guys didn't know that this was a mix of BYOC and solo players corping together, then you weren't paying attention. And how else would the solos be corped together fairly unless it was done randomly? And why, do you guys even care, because you're all on your teams already and don't have to worry about it?

I must have explained 50 times between this thread and the voting thread that put this game together in the first place that this game is a mix of BYOC and solos randomly corped together. I seem to recall people telling me to "calm down" about it because I repeated myself so many times. So... how did people still miss it?

This is a TURN CIRCUIT that will do its best to include every turn player who wants to play. I'm not going to tell solos to bugger off because they don't have a permanant corp and they want to play. These games ARE about inclusion, and are NOT about exclusion.

If thats how people want to play, then we can expect the demise of TW in short order because newer players hafta learn from somewhere.

If some solo player wants to staart this game as an actual solo without a corp, I guess that is fine. I hope they don't plan on making it past day 1 though. MORE POWER TO THEM IF THEY WANT TO PLAY SOLO, they just better let me know, 'cause I'll have to adjust the player list to reflect the fact that they are CEO of their 1 man corp.

Its a simple matter of math. We have 4 man teams. We have one team of 3 and one team of 5. It makes more sense to make the teams 4 and 4 then to say "We're gonna have 1 team of 3, 1 team of 4, and odd-man out... you're SOL, go find a different game to play."

ALthough why the people who are questioning it care, I have no idea, because they have BYOC'd a full corp and don't have to worry about it.

What I don't understand is why we are re-hashing what had already been established three weeks ago, starting with the ORIGINAL post that started the voting? Go take a look at it. Yeah, it says solo AND byoc.

The games are whatever we make them to be.

Next game though, I'm totally going for another randomly generated corp game.

This mix seems to be going over heads. People are making it out to be more complicated than it is.

I though TBH had a 4th

Guess they didn't anounce it.

Sorry, didnt' mean to make this sound like I was doubting the edits or the setup.  I guess I knew the edits would change, but thought all were random corp. I like the random corps, and encourage that, but I'll play either way.  I also agree with the playing of games the players design.  Perhaps we should start forming game #3 so it will be settled by 2008 for play.
I'm still confused as to the OFFICIAL start time of the game. (#2 that is )
