View Full Version : PBEM Newb Wants to Play
mscivfan Nov 09, 2005, 02:36 PM I've been playing CIV since Windows 3.11 days, but never really had the patience for PBEM. Now, it seems like I have time only for something that takes up a limited amount of my day.
I'm looking to join or perhaps start a PBEM game with low expectations for email turnaround (36 hr max). I would love to take my turns at work, but I work on a Mac. Thus I generally can't get to the game until at least 7 or 8 in the evening.
Anyone else out there want to play a friendly/low pressure PBEM game? Let's talk. :D
Eluril Nov 10, 2005, 05:56 AM Id be up for a PBEM game, so thats 2 of us !
Thracius Nov 10, 2005, 07:41 AM I'm a PBEM newbie also. I am interested in playing as well. I'm looking forward to a new aspect of a great game!
compu4ever Nov 10, 2005, 07:44 AM I'm also in for a good game :) so I join you.
Bob_the_Silent Nov 10, 2005, 07:47 AM I'd like to join too
Duke_D Nov 10, 2005, 09:22 AM I'd be up for joining the game as well.
I am on GMT time, and a 24/36hr turnaround suits nicely.
IglooDude Nov 10, 2005, 09:27 AM Same here, and ditto with the time requirements.
SITS Nov 10, 2005, 09:31 AM I would be interested as well. I work shifts so my times are different...
Rocksteady Nov 10, 2005, 09:37 AM Room for one more?
I've never tried pbem before, but have been playing civ2 and 3 online for a long time.
[Edit] I joined Dude D's game instead.
Duke_D Nov 10, 2005, 09:41 AM I don't really mind everyone joining, but remember that this looks like it will pan out with a long delay (24 hrs +) between turns, and each player adds another day between turns... so with 7 players, you will get one turn each week :-)
I suspect we'd be better off splitting into games with 4 players in each?
Edit: thinking about it some more, I'm going to pull out of this one and set up my own thread ;)
Noida Nov 10, 2005, 08:58 PM arn't turn all done at the same time so hence u would have a turn around every 2nd day if ppl acually checked there email
NationalKato Nov 11, 2005, 09:28 AM Count me in!
StefanoDiMera Nov 12, 2005, 04:25 AM I'd like to join too, i you aren't full?
seamusjoe Nov 12, 2005, 05:08 AM Count me in if rooms are still available... or if you decide to launch a second game :)
mscivfan Nov 13, 2005, 11:28 AM I have decided to postpone starting a PBEM game until after the patch is released. It may turn out that games start before the patch would not properly function after the patch is applied. Plus, I am hoping that they make changes to the in-game email function to allow for SSL support.
Cheers
