Default Re: MP game - \"Pantheons\" Preliminary invite

k, two teams then!

in order to speed up the process (if it wasn't moving fast enough already) I'd suggest having a third-party select random races for each player. Then if players don't like the race they've been randomly assigned, they can trade with their teammates. This will get the ball rolling for game hosting and start the converstations between team members reguarding playstyles and experience.

I'm all for creating "themed" teams, but we might be here till next week figuring out, post by post, what races to pick that complement our team (especially since we probably aren't experts with all the races). I personally am looking forward to playing a new race. My only request is that we decide the races soon, and then give a day to research/experiment first before uploading a pretender (so our choices are smart ones).
Yeah 2 teams for the reasons the Panther noted.

Random allocation to player was not an option - random allocation to teams looks favourite on current voting followed by intra team haggling.

I am just not in that much of a hurry to start to need to rush things. I will give it until about 12.00 GMT tomorrow to allow those people who posted in the middle of my night a chance to comment then we can probably set the thing up. Still seem pretty precipitous to me & there is still no rush to start until everyone is happy with their nation & pretender.
