Yeah UnitGen would be a lot easier to get going, both for participants and for organizers.

[Il Palazzo]

I've put this game on hold for now. We should wait for a definite decision from TempAcc whether he wants to leave, or continue with slower pace.

[Shadowgandor]

Who's going to make the new thread?

[Bluerobin]

Well, do we have more than the two of us interested? I can get things going after work today if we end up wanting to get a UnitGen game going.

[EuchreJack]

I'd probably rather hear back from TempAcc before making a decision regarding another game.  These games take time!

[Bluerobin]

Yeah, I don't think I could do two active games at once. If this one ends up going to once or twice a week, then it's more doable.

[TempAcc]

I could stay if you guys want, but a replacement player would prob keep the game more fun for you guys, atlantis is still in a decent place, I'm just having a hard time doing turns and stuff.
D: also if you guys do a unitgen game now, try to finish it before december cause I've been wanting to try one and I'll only be reasonably free by december.

[Bluerobin]

I was thinking if we did one that we should keep it small and relatively quick. My plan was to follow an idea I saw someone post and generate ten times the number of nations as we had players (60 nations for 6 players), post the basic descriptions of the nations and have people pick them on a first-come-first-served basis. Once people picked nations I'd find/generate a map that allows about 12 provinces per player to get early border-clashes and a fairly quick resolution since it's the first attempt. That was my idea at least. Also, since it's so short I might actually go back and do an AAR. I keep all of my turns for all of the games I play, so theoretically I (or someone else) could do that for this game or Round 8 too. If only I had motivation and time.

Well, what kind of turn length would you want to stay? I'd be fine with, say, setting this game to once a week turns for some time and then going for a 24-hour turn unitgen game with those that wanted to. Though I do think we'd need unanimous agreement to slow the pace of the game down even more.

[TempAcc]

I think it'd be more beneficial to you guys to get a replacement. While it can be an issue of deadlines, it would take it out of my mind so I wouldn't have to worry about submitting a turn, thats sort of the main issue since I have tons of things to keep track of until late november.
I'll likely be watching the thread from time to time if you guys make a unitgen game though, so make sure to post screenies

[EuchreJack]

Well, I guess we need two things from Il Palazzo:
1) Changing the title of the thread to look for a replacement.
2) A brief ceasefire between R'lyeh and Atlantis, at least until the replacement adjusts.

Having played as a replacement myself, I can attest that it is nice not to start in the middle of a war, and to have the luxury of forming my own links with the players.

[Il Palazzo]

Is three turns of ceasefire enough? I admit that I kinda-sorta need this war, else my economy collapses and my armies die of starvation.

[Bluerobin]

Oh question: how well does Growth-3 balance R'lyeh's domkilling? I know it doesn't even make a dent in Ermor's but I haven't seen R'lyeh's.

[EuchreJack]

Well, it all depends on what the replacement says, but that sounds reasonable.

You can always attack me, you know.  Although, the breweries of Gath probably don't mean much to a species without mouths...

[Il Palazzo]

Oh question: how well does Growth-3 balance R'lyeh's domkilling? I know it doesn't even make a dent in Ermor's but I haven't seen R'lyeh's.

IIRC, it balances out with about 3-4 candle strong dominion.
