New Cycle of Magic Game?

[Cloud]

I'll play.

[Hawk_]

Hawk checking in. I can act as a captain if you want me to. I would also be happy to defer to any other player if they want to be a Captain.
There are several players on the sign up list who would be great.

I have a couple of extra items-

1. I think we should agree to no individual victory by any kind. Victory will be by team regional control or by total team status points at game end. This will encourage no man left behind type of play. <Hawk later noticed Wyand had pointed this out in a previous post>

2. In game 116 we went with these teams:
SO EL GI
RA WA DW
RD GN DA
TR WI BL

Nikodemus came up with this. Each team has a natural enemy on each of the opposite teams. This kept the natural enemy rules in play because it was balanced.

If we are going to just draft whatever teams we want then I think we should turn off the natural enemy part of the game which could have some unusual impacts.

3. Will we be using just the 12 kingdoms above or will we include the UN DE AN as options?

4. Finally, captains should be aware that the team version of the SO started with a P2 instead of a P3. It also had a HP and 2 ambassadors instead of 2 governors. I am fine with this being the SO version available I just want players to understand what they are picking.

I agree on item 1 this is a team game and should be won that way. The rest we just follow the warlords drafting rules. Teams need to be careful not to take natural enemies on the same team. Part of deal is others will not know the teams.

I agree that there should be no individual victory allowed. I don't agree to turn off natural enemies - the GM has enough work as it is. And I don't want the WI/GI or SO/WA on the same team. I think all 15 kingdoms should be available to draft as it is in the current anonymous warlords games.
I did not know that about the team version of the SO - good to learn.

I don't want to heap extra work on Grasshopper either.

He did turn off the natural enemies feature in game 139 and said it was not difficult to do.

That was what I had based my thought process on.

Is this game full? I would play if a spot remains,

I am going to end up passing on this game. I was hoping to pick my own team mates and not be a " captain". I am in 4 other games presently and this will likely be more work than I can handle as configured.

Thanks and good luck to those playing.

That means Iriani is in and we need Jumpingfist to be a captain.

Ok I will take captain, I am not next in Valhalla ranking that is Mauler. So if Mauler wants to claim it before the LD starts the draft that is also fine.

Just started a new job, so I'm happy to pass on being a captain.
