By the way, is there any chance of another experiment series game running at the same time? (my other account is TW2000x)
Probably one of the ones that got 3 votes (I would prefer Westward expansion)

So far, I am only planning to do one type of experiment at a time. This way, L1s who want to participate don't have to miss out on a experiment if they have to choose between two.

huh? had to miss out on the first one because I was in another game altogether, so one experiment at a time doesn't really solve that much. Plus, you said that different experimenters could start 2 or more games soon...If what you said wasn't true I would have joined another game on my other account agggess ago.... (I've been waiting for 5 days on both my accounts now).
Also just because a L1 player misses out on something doesn't mean they won't be able to play. I guarantee you there will be demand for repeats of a particular game mode that people enjoy...

I see your point. I suppose that we could set up repeats in between a current and next experiment, for those who missed the admissions (hence also a new change - a 24 hour period to sign up). However, if you went to the extent to make two accounts, I highly recommend you get L2

well i cant get l2 because i have asian parents so....

Panda, is the list of hires going to be available for everyone in the game to see, or just the host? If only the host can see, it actually gives the host a slight advantage because they will know which hire everyone will get, where as others will not. Also, if only the host can see it, it makes it harder to prevent cheating, because the host can only confirm that people within sonar range hired according to the rules.

Good point v3xt. I suppose I will post the hires list once admissions are over. This way, hosts won't have to post the hires either, and players can look it up on the forums.

will each player be given a different number for the same hire? and btw I propose that we use a RNG before the game opens to determine all the hires (regardless of whether or not it is different for the players)

Me please

Yes, I have used a RNG to make different hires for each player, and is in a google drive spreadsheet.
I will post it on the first post.
