Gillette- The Best a Man Can Get
|
|
So here comes the intro text.
 Personal stuff: I'm a 23-year-old university student from Helsinki, Finland. I study Industrial Engineering & Management, but I have been working at two different consulting companies since January and therefore my studies will truly continue again in September. Now I am enjoying a vacation that I have waited for a long long time.  RB: I have followed the games here already for more than a year. However, due to my hectic RL, participating in games has not been an option until now. I registered here also a while back, but since the players here are so good, it is difficult to give any value-adding comments and I have therefore been only a silent lurker. Additionally, I am always totally spoiled when I follow games. I became more active also because I desperately wanted to lurk the ISDG. I have been spamming couple of team members with PMs and I guess I keep disturbing them in the coming weeks and months as well.. Civ experience: I have always enjoyed multiplayer games and don't enjoy fighting with AIs that much. However, due to real life realities I have never played anything but single player. In my last games I have won Emperor pretty comfortably, and couple of Deity games (but under favorable settings/map), so I do not know what my level really is. I enjoy playing starts pretty carefully, but do not have much late game experience, since as soon as the win is clear I tend to skip additional warring or optimizing economy and just hit enter until the game is over. So I won't have much to add when we talk about corporations or air warfare.. This game: I am happy to join Team Gillette and I hope that you don't mind my dumb comments! I will be travelling couple of weeks in July and August so my level of presence will vary a bit. Btw, I also enjoy our picks a lot. Pacal will definitely boost our economy and I am looking forward to seeing how the Viking UB & UU can be leveraged in this game! This will be fun! regoarrarr Wrote:Yeah once the forums are officially "closed" to other teams, I'll post something saying "Join Team Gillette - you get to know the mystery behind how to pronounce regoarrarr This was what hooked me.
So it did work!
 Welcome, Zalson. Check out the various threads, especially the C&D where Cyneheard is explaining the mysteries of the dark arts.
Have we divvied up game roles yet? I don't have BTS but I do have some decent CIV experience (I played incompetently in a few RB events when civ came out). I'd like to volunteer for the diplomatic corps and state department.
With the state dept, we would try to anticipate what other players will do based on their situation in game and observable evidence (c&d aggregation/map analysis).
Welcome, Zalson!

It'll be a bit quiet for a couple weeks probably, but we'll definitely have work to do once we start making contacts.

I think our "state dept" as you describe it is what we plan to do in our metagaming thread here: http://realmsbeyond.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5938 So if that's your thing too, that's a great place to get started.
