New-ish to the game (4 table games), but looking to learn async for my table group.
Want to see a Milty draft both for us here (later use in TTS for an online game).

Hey @mighty dome I'm up for trying 4 player if timezones aren't a problem
glad wagon
I'm game
First time doing a game. I think time zones are fine so long as you're active enough, right? Not looking to get through a game in a week lol

Yeah, join up, bud! Let's figure out this game via a platform that was never originally intended for this!
I have never run this before, so hang in there with me. I'm setting up the Milty Draft part here and not sure if it random assigns stuff to us OR if we draw.
OR if I start the game and then tell it do the Milty draft within the game. The guide, oddly enough, does not specify.

The milty draft is seperate to the discord tool. You can then imput the map tile string into discord

Great. I am going through the webapp now

Cool @glad wagon to pick first

Finally get to play the space nerds! To @slim flower

lol, the community's favourite faction, if I'm correct. Only really super deep into TI for about 3 months, despite playing 3 games before that space.
mighty dome
Haha, I've never seen em win. They suffer from same issue as Clan of Saar and Winnu - people know that the faction is strong so they slap it down early game.
Or refuse to do certain deals that they'd do with any other faction.
glad wagon
Always a problem when you're viewed as strong -before- the game begins, right? The game still needs to unfold to really see if you're strong. Your slice, pub objectives, ACs, secondaries could all bone you first two rounds.
mighty dome
Aye it's a great game for that. It's awesome to see strong factions fall to poor choices or weak ones rise through great ones.
As you say it's the balance, I've gone for a decent faction here but forgone the choice on the systems.
glad wagon
That's assuming my tiny experience with the game allows me to use those systems and not just get bullied haha
slim flower
Taking that super juicy slice, extra toppings
Ooh yeah that's a good choice
@past cave your pick

I wonder: do I make the game with the /game command before the map is made/factions are picked?

Not sure if it matters. It'll set up the server for us, but we don't need to input anything until milty is finished

@past cave you're up in the draft

You are welcome to do the draft first, but most of the time folks will organize and do the draft in the game channels that get created after the game is made. But you don't have to. The bot here doesn't care.
When you're ready, what you'll do is run this command with the game name and players, and a Bothelper will hit the last button for you 🙂
