Well the Lithuanians and US can do what the want but for the Canadian game my 2 cents on this is:

The first one: Boooring! This adds a huge element of luck to the game since the number of colonizable planets are few and far between. plus it cuts way down on the number of decissions you have to make. (Gee should I colonize those red planets or build warships.)

The Last 3 I think are OK

Without trade & gifts game loses many team management posibilities. Lithuanian team votes that Gifts/Trade must be in game.
I think, why remove from game things that adds more complicated management (more fun).

Because they add more comlicated management. (less fun) BTW I don't think trades are Banned since they cannot be. Only tech trades.

Ghm. IMHO More complicated game = more intresting. It will be more chalenging game, more chance to one or another team made a mistake. Teamplay mean that you must work together, coordinate your research, divide resources. Game features are built for playing with them, not for disabling.

We decided that LT Team requirements will be:

Intel ON
All trade ON
Can colonize all planets ON

Race points better 3000.

And options buttons are included so you can turn them off. I didn't mean to start an argument, to each his own. I only add my comments here for consideration for a future Team Canada game. Personally I am not interested in playing a game were tech trading is allowed as it adds an insane level of micro management. I would also not really like mines. 5 teamates getting together and adding 500 mines to a warp point just seems cheesy. (and would really bog down the game)

Game Specifications
I’m Trying to be fair here.
This started out as a challenge by the LT preferable to play against one team all from one nation. It evolved into being considered the SEIV Olympics. Within 24 hours a few of the Game Specs were issued by the LT.
To be fair I need to ask the LT if:
1) They are in favor of the SE Olympics concept
2) Prefer to go back to their original challenge to play against a single team from with all players from single nation.

In the case of going with SE Olympics then there may need to be a need to compromise on the Game Specifications
In the case of reverting to the original challenge then you have a greater chance of finding one team to accept on your terms.

In the event you prefer to go with your original challenge then we can start a new thread and pick up where we left off on organizing the SE Olympics with no hard feelings.

If you would like to discuss this privately please write to:
