So, was messing around with ST4x this weekend and realized that it lends itself well to a play-by-community format. I was thinking of starting up a thread in the 4x section where we all "play"a game together.
My thinking is we could all vote on courses of action every 10 (or more) rounds and then I would play them out. I think it could be fun, so ehat do you guys think?

Thulun, Javat and Cadar as Factions since they were top 3 vote getters. Go with a large map with lots of world's.  |

What about using my alpha starter code for an extra boost? So, you think people might be interested in it? |

Haha, well I'll get on making a thread and get everything set up. Hopefully I can get a thread up this afternoon, if and when I get it up I'll post an update here.

Sorry -I can't do it if it involves playing all three clans ... ... oh wait, you didn't say that I had to actually keep Steel Song alive ... I'm in if I can find the time |

Well, to flesh out what exactly I was talking about a bit, I'll post a little more detail on the idea.
My basic plan was to play a game on my phone, starting up with whatever is voted on (although to be honest I was leaning towards clans cause they're an elite perk, show 'em off a bit). I could also use my alpha start booster or not, depending on what people vote on.
After starting we all vote on a basic course of action for the first X turns, be it "expand!" or "focus on economy" or "kill xenos!" while also choosing techs/building ships by committee. Basically, set some arbitrary check point (maybe 10/20 turns?) and have a democratically chosen plan for the next term (again, 10/20 turns?). I'd stop anytime we run into a new tech that would require us to build up some kind of ship, as well as follow whatever is voted on as our military/economy options (ONLY FIGHTERS! or TORPS ONLY!).
So, it seems like we have some interest here. Should I go ahead an build the first post for the thread?

Haha, I really only have time for one at a time. I was thinking of playing a round every couple days, allowing for 24 or 48 hours of voting between rounds. If it becomes popular and people enjoy it I'd definitely consider playing another on, though |

Well, started up the game. Posted a thread over in the Refugee's Tales section of the 4x board with the basic idea as well as our first turn. Hopefully we get some good participation going and we can all have a good laugh as I crash and burn, eventually getting eaten by xenos. Head on over to the thread by clicking here, read what's the deal, and participate! Happy posting, everyone! |
