The Dark arts - C&D Master Thread

[regoarrarr]

So obviously there's not a whole lot that can be done till the game starts, but I thought I'd start this thread so we can start getting a list of who is interested in doing C&D, and also signing up for who can do things like

* Logging in at particular times to get screenshots
* Collating the data
* Analyzing it
* Publishing it by team so we can use it in diplo

Sullla Edit:
Google Docs Master Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?...mx3eTlEQXc

[Cyneheard]

Demographics and graphs should get posted here.

Choice for storing the data:
1) Excel Spreadsheet on Dropbox or similarly shared. I generally use this in the PB2 Sullla style. I think I can make this do a better job of auto-filling what we need.
2) Google doc. Less powerful, but more open to anybody.
3) Something I haven't thought of.

I'm more than willing to have a shared folder on dropbox that I can give access to anyone who wants it.

We'd have one master doc, with:
Separate sheets for each type of data.
Separate sheets for each team, built from the data sheets.

I could build it once we know the team list.

I'm not quite as good at the numbers side of C&D (although if you make the spreadsheet I can definitely understand what to enter and how to interpret what your equations spit out), but I can definitely help out with the logging in when needed to get the info side.

Awesome. On T0 especially we'll want logins after as many foes play as possible.

Yeah, I figure just getting a corps of people to do that is smart--the more the merrier as long as they don't sit in game too long and block other people logging in.

On that note, we should recruit Dave for this as well. He was a log in fiend in PB6 and I'm sure his talents could be put to good use by our C&D department

Another reason the proposed mod would be annoying is during war you spreadsheet guys wouldn't be able to log in and watch things happen for half the turn.

Not going to be around as much during the summer, due to work; so I'm not able to be near the login fiend I was during PB6. When I return to school in the fall and back to being on my computer most of the day, I will probably be up for helping out with this.

[waterbat]

please sign me up as a member of this sub-team. I'll do whatever is needed! Just let me know what you need help with. I'd like to be able to log-in to the game to gather info and what the mastery with which the team analyzes it.

'bout time for this to actually start.
