# 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.*
