Alrighty, I'd like to keep discussion in one thread for now - get oriented before we start branching out into multiple threads. So let's start talking about what positions we'll need for the game.

Primary Turnplayer
Backup Turnplayer

I'd like everyone to play at least a few turns in the game - it is a team effort after all As Captain, I'll be assuming primary turnplayer roles and be the default player. I feel like we should have someone as an automatic backup if for whatever reason the person who's supposed to play the turn doesn't get it done.

C&D Master
Assistant C&D Master

With only five teams, effective C&D should be fairly easy to do. So, provided there is someone willing to do so, I would like to have someone tracking everything. Someone serving as assistant to vet all the numbers and take over in the event our main man is away would probably be a good idea too.

Chief Diplomat
Assistant Diplomat

We may end up having to appoint individual ambassadors, depending on the quantity of diplomacy with each of the other teams; however, I imagine two people should be sufficient to handle everything. Do we have anyone who is particularly good at Diplomacy?

So, six positions. That's all that I can think of at the moment, can anyone think of anymore that we need, or think that any of the ones I listed are unnecessary?

If something that jumps out at you that you'd like to do, go ahead and stake a claim to it.

[Mardoc]

I'll sign up as an assistant C&D maestro; I understand the theory, but all my practical experience is in FFH. Speaking of which - can someone point me to a resource for things like unit/building/tech power ratings?

Other roles we could use:
Banter officer? Someone to out-Ichabod Ichabod, in whatever public thread we end up with.
Sandboxer. Make and keep up to date a sandbox, to help decide between alternate courses. Probably could use an assistant.

[Shoot the Moon]

I'll sign up for backup turn player.

In regards to power rating, here: http://fastmoves.wordpress.com/2009/11/2...ographics/

If you need an excel sheet for the hammers in city build queue I think I have one somewhere with the formulas already entered, let me know.

Not sure I want to be the main sandboxer, but I'll certainly contribute in that regard.

[WarriorKnight]

I'll take C&D Master. Wouldn't mind being a backup turnplayer or assistant sandboxer though.

Also Shipwright?!?

[pindicator]

First Mate Pindicator, Reporting For Duty!

Glad to have everybody on the team and eager to take up duties. With such an able crew we'll see this ship sailed safely through whatever water Cap'n Davy has in store for us.

Man, we're getting out posted so badly. We really need Rego

Let the other teams underestimate our spamming ability while the forums are still open. That way in-game they'll underestimate us and we'll crush them

And Dave, I see what you did there. (I could've split this into 2 posts couldn't I? Oh well)

We can prepare

Or maybe this resource would also be useful.
