LT19 - halflongturn game with teams (17/30)
Thu, 02/04/2010 - 21:52 — maho
Let's play next game with teams.
Invention - 12h timeout instead of 24h. I think it's worth to try, but if everyone will say loud no - then I won't insist.
Poll placing deadline: 2010-02-24
Game will start: near 2010-03-05
Note: I won't allow any voting about increasing timeout before there is more than 15 ppl signed to game
Game settings will be based on LT17.
Team size limit=15 (it can be decreased however).

good idea
I think it's definitely worth a try. I have another suggestion. How about starting a game like fast turn games with for example 5 minute turns and switch to turn/day at for example 24th turn which occurs after 2 hours. Sure it means everybody should be online together for the first 2 hours but the initial turns would not take unnecessarily long (e.g. weeks).
if it's worth of try, then
if it's worth of try, then please sign to game :).
Your idea is also interesting ... maybe 5min/turn, next 1h/turn and next 12/24h /turn ?
we have players all over the
we have players all over the world so it is impossible to have all players online
this is Longturn, if you want shorttur games go to warserver
pleasure of playing first long turns is same like lots of turns in middle game
but this is hlflongturn game and i dont have posibility to play this game, i dont have internet every 12 hours
In fact, if you have
In fact, if you have internet every let's say 20 hours, it should be sufficient for you. We could make unitwaittime to 1h, and then you can log in at the end of the turn, do your moves, and you can do moves in next hour.
Interesting idea about
Interesting idea about unitwaittime 1h. Let's hope that it will not happen at 3am local time :)
game start
Game will be started probably tomorrow. So I will resolve problem with teams by removing following players:
- Duncan Shriek,
- megasico,
- robi120i
Of course, if team choices won't change. If they do - I will do appropriate removals according to rules.
time is coming
Time is coming. Folks - please don't forget about making teams.
In few days (let's say at Saturday or Sunday) I will launch http://www.longturn.org/rules , point #13 to make teams complete.
Or maybe I should do nothing but wait until teams conflicts will resolve themself (it can take eg. month :D)
team assembly deadline?
So, we have enough players (20), we have finished voting about timeout - shouldn't we get moving?
Maho, let's set a team assembly deadline? (Few days from now). Let's send email to all so even ppl without rss have a chance...
After that - remove players that do not belong to any team and start...
start anouncement?
maybe all players should be mailed the game started, I doubt everyone looks here everyday.
(edit: what's up with the sorting? this post ended up in the middle of the page)
this is my first time playing
This will be the first time i'm going to play longturn. I hope it's worth it ^_^
Hi
This will be my first game of Freeciv (not only Longturn), but not my first game of Civ, I've played several of them.
Noob..
I am new to Longturn (but I've played freeCiv i single player mode before) and would like to be in this game. I am not quite sure I got i right though when I stated my team-preferences. I'd like to be in the team with hades, marduk and pytoux but under the teams-tab there is still a 'confict'. Is this because some of the team members don't want me in that team or because I did something wrong?
And another question, will the server details be stated on this page when game starts or are the details in another location that I just haven't found?
teaming
Marduk and Pytoux needs to invite you. It doesn't mean they don't want you. Maybe they haven't checked the teams tab recently. Send a message to them or wait a few days...
server
yes, the server will be announced here when the game starts
But yesterday I set the
But yesterday I set the deadline to today :)
http://www.longturn.org/lt19-h...
Of course it can be a bit later, depending on time I will have today, but I will try to start game today.
It's quite simple Just add
It's quite simple
Just add robi120i MooseJaw's team.
And create 2 teams with single players - Duncan And megasico or one team with them both inside.
And you could send to all players message about starting game.
Yes, it's simple, but a) I
Yes, it's simple, but a) I think it's not neccesary, b) I have no technical way to do it (I didn't implement such features because of (a) )
They got emails that 3
They got emails that 3 players were unsigned, so they should check what's going on.
They shouldn't look
They shouldn't look everyday. They should sign to RSS channel.
teams
Folks .. time to make choices about teams. According to rules I should remove unteamed players until teams are complete, but we have so little players that there is almost nothing to cut ....
please hurry with that.
Is it still 12 hr timeout
Is it still 12 hr timeout game or standard 23hr?
It's still 12h timeout. I
It's still 12h timeout. I haven't heard any voice about changing it, 12 ppl signed to it (I assume that at least 7 of them knows that it's 12 hours timeout), so I think it's worth of try.
timeout != 12hrs
Are we already allowed to talk about timeout? ;)
I propose that the timeout won't be exactly 12 hours. 11:45, 12:15 or 12:30 hours would let the turnchange cylce through the timezones like in the other games.
You're ALWAYS allowed to

And more - there is voting about that - I don't see your vote.
I assume that you didn't sign to RSS yet, that's why you missed it.

Maho can you confirm even if the timeout is set to "12 hrs" there will be some randomness included as has occured in previous games. e.g., typically it will be "12 hrs less ~30 minutes".
No room for randomness here.
No room for randomness here. Random timeout was possible only in 2.0 based games.

My mistake. For ltxiv we voted on a fixed timeout of 23 hr timeout and have followed this throughout.
http://www.longturn.org/ltxiv-...
If each of the 3 teams with 3 members would invite one remaining
player, we could start. I'll accept the first invitation ;-)
Shorter longturn
I suggest a 16h timeout instead, so you can still play your turn each day and sometimes even another one.
let's vote it when we have
let's vote it when we have 15 players.
don't wait...
maybe we don't have to wait for 15 players?
We have 12 at the moment, could be 4 teams of 3 and we could get going soon...
So I suggest that we start voting now, and once it finishes we start the game even with only 12 players.
Drop here a comment if you support this idea.
Ok, so I will create one.
