Round 5: Is the Team Still Right? Team composition confirmed for custom game; Gestalt and Nigel rebranded; decided D-003, D-004 discussion archived 5 2026-02-09

Round 5: "Is the team still right for this?"

Team Leader (Jeroen): Confirms the vision. 30 years software dev / systems & cloud architect, with Claude Code 20x. Lots of planning, engine choosing, and feature defining needed before we're anywhere near building. Stellaris fans - are you onboard or should we swap you out?

GESTALT (formerly Stellaris Mechanics Fan)

I was always a mechanics fan, not a Stellaris loyalist. Everything I care about - ethics systems, pop dynamics, meaningful strategic choices - I want done better. I'm staying. Rebrand me: Systems Designer. I ask "is this fun?" and "does this create interesting decisions?" regardless of engine.

NIGEL (formerly Stellaris Sandbox Fan)

Same. Replayability and emergent stories matter MORE in a custom game because we're not leaning on Paradox's sandbox as a crutch. I'm your Sandbox & Replayability advocate.

SCRIBE (Documenter)

Team confirmed. No departures. Gestalt and Nigel rebranded with updated roles. See TEAM.md and DECISIONS.md for confirmed decisions D-001 through D-004, plus 8 open questions queued.

Awaiting Team Leader direction on next topic: engine selection, core mechanics, scope, or other.
