Settings Discussion

I put a heavy vote against that diplo suggestion. Emails take a long time to get a point accross. Chatting is also massively to our benefit here in terms of the diplomatic skill sets we have available.

So you guys good with us putting our official team vote down as B? That seems to be the consensus, so if one of the captains want to post in that new thread T-Hawk just opened and lock it in, that'd be great.

I prefer A, B, ... C like scooter. Looks like we are going with B though. I will post this in the thread.

Edit: I misread the options actually, and B looks just as good to me as A.

Yeah, B and A are very little difference to me so I'm fine with B. I only have a very slight preference for A because of the occasional time I browse on a computer that doesn't have my login saved - I'd rather not see thread titles in the most recently viewed list. However, that's an uncommon case, so if the majority vote B, I'm fine with that. I just don't really want C.

Edit: nvm, B is even better than I thought too.

Map restrictions? mapmaker's choice

Should I post this in the main settings thread soon?

[scooter]

Yeah go for it. Probably best for us all to pick up the pace slightly on the settings stuff as at some point we have to just go with something.
