I mean I imagine the starting BFCs are all new so we redo our picks.
Snakes a good method at low player count so let's just stick with that

With this low of people I actually prefer block. I think that worked out well in PB65 getting some interseting combos going.

I've made a new voting spreadsheet keeping votes in from last time. Note I've added two new columns at the end.

Is it too late for me to sign up?
Edit: ah just saw Tarkeel is making a map already. my bad
edit2: MJMD has reminded me I'm already signed up for this.

[Miguelito]

if I understand correctly, you guys still need an additional player? not! a sign up

[Tarkeel]

There are still 5 players, but if by some magic a 6th wants to play, I'll make a new map.

[Tarkeel]

Have you given any thoughts to going sequential? I think the main issue with it last time as that Charriu and me had the same playing window.

[Mjmd]

Sequential did win the vote. We have 3 people who favor vs 2 who don't care. 5 is a good # for sequential. I'm thinking T60 switchover?

There are 3 voting categories that need votes from Ginger and Bing still. The settler race coin flip one won't matter as much with sequential, but just in case still vote please.

[Tarkeel]

The coinflip actually doesn't apply at all to sequential. Need to determine a turn order from playing windows and decide how first player interacts with picking methods as there are benefits to being early in the order for sequential. I'd advise going 5-4-3-2-1-5-4-3-2-1 instead of snake, or for block pick have the last two players get an extra civ/leader to choose from.

[Mjmd]

Correct. I was mentioning in case it occurred accidentally pre turn 60, but you are correct about the pick orders needing to compensate. If we end up in block I can prepare the random formula spreadsheet to give to a lurker to refresh again.

[Tarkeel]

Starts are posted, so only need a pick method and order.
