Do you think about vanilla or BTS version?
Also, some kind of preferences- speed, size, number of turns per day...
maybe I'm interested...

I'd be interested in playing although it would have to be BTS.

Hosting a PBEM is a simple as starting it. after that no hosting required. we could surely figure that out later

I would like also to join, if there is still room for me....

May 04, 2008, 05:22 PM
yea i guess we shud start with 5? so far we have 3. we are still looking for 2-3 more

slaze
May 04, 2008, 05:58 PM
and also what map, size and type u want. we will be playing quick preferably, but if u object say so. am i missing anything?

I'd prefer normal, but Quick is ok

I'd like to try pangea, though fractal or shuffle would be ok. Archepeligo is a drag though. And other maps like arboria or rainforest or inland sea or great plains could be interesting

Tech trading is what you missing. I could go either way

And advanced start is another option, especially since pbem games tend to take a month+ to get off the ground

kbrennan7654
May 04, 2008, 06:56 PM
so does that mean u will be joining us slaze?

normal or quick is fine for me, tech trading on, no advanced start unless all of you guys want it then i cud do that.

hmmm...yea how bout we do pangea, if u have a better idea for a map plz speak up :D

pangea sounds like fun! and i my votes is for advanced start on this game. i haven't really tryed that yet and i think it would be fun. but if not i'm still down.

o yea, i forgot to add im on eastern USA time

-what time ru guys on?

May 04, 2008, 09:40 PM
Everyone else is listed in their sig

You gmt -5
Shifty gmt -5
Indovinello gmt -7
me gmt -8
burliconni gmt +1

Five makes a good number; maybe we should get this started soon. It's good that we're all near the same time zones as it increases turnaround and burliconni's a night owl so you can count on him. The trick is to set it up so the save moves across the earth like the sun; maybe you and shifty can work it out to who would usually be able to play the saves the earliest (although there's usually plenty of overlap for people in the same time zone) and set up an order like the above or close to it and get this thing going. I guess we still need some reply on who wants to be what leader though...

I'm still interested, although I can't speak for everyone else. I emailed indovinello about it and burliconni's on the boards alot, maybe he's still interested.

We still need leaders from everybody...

I'll email burliconni. still need leaders from you two and him, and emails from everybody, although I have everyone's except kbrennan so i can PM them to him. Then we can start. But interest does not look high, and as far as pace, that's not very encouraging

My vote is fractal, and I'm indifferent to tech trading. And i like choose religions.

Jao of portugal for me

Shifty189
May 13, 2008, 01:29 PM
fractal works for me. if you don't already know i'll take monti (aztec)

slaze
May 13, 2008, 02:05 PM
I went ahead and started it. Went with tech trading on, choose religions, small fractal, everything else standard (temperate, medium sea level, huts on, random events on, etc.)

The order is

Me -8: joao
burliconni +1: Ragnar
kbrennan -5: Augustus
shifty -5 : Monty
indovinello -7 :W. van Orange

Hope this gets the ball rolling. I'll enjoy playing with all you guys :)

Jun 16, 2008, 08:05 PM
Well, this doesn't seem to be getting off to a great start. Does anyone know where the save is? I have a feeling that kbrennan might have given up on this because he assumed he got eliminated. I have seen that he's been on CFC since burliconni sent him the email but he has not responded. Is this game dead? I can surely go back and play the save and take him out if that gets things rolling, but that puts me in an almost unloosable position which was why i was reluctant to do it the first place. The save in circulation is certainly playable for rome(if peace is accepted). Is kbrennan out there or we find a new player or is this :deadhorse:

burlicconi
Jun 16, 2008, 09:01 PM
Yeah, we slowed down a little bit....
Hope that the game will continue regular....

indovinello
Jun 17, 2008, 01:12 AM
I think we should continue with or without kbrennan. Send him a private message. If he doesn't respond I suggest we either look for a replacement player or have you reload your save and eliminate him.

slaze
Jun 17, 2008, 10:10 AM
I PMed him (again). I PMed him before but he didn't respond. I think we should give it a couple days and then search for a replacement player.

burlicconi
Jun 17, 2008, 11:03 AM
seems fair to me....
he got another chance, but looks like he doesn't want it ;)

kbrennan7654
Jun 19, 2008, 06:30 PM
o sry i thought i was killed off. slaze just take me out. i dont even care no more. :)

slaze
Jun 19, 2008, 06:38 PM
I made a new thread for a replacement and once that gets situated burliconni will have to send the save of to the new player and we should get rolling again.

slaze
Jun 20, 2008, 07:50 PM
sent to new player's email to burliconni. this should get rolling again

Is this game going to be patched to 3.17 ?

burlicconi
Jun 23, 2008, 04:09 AM
i don't know how the whole things will going...
I already got some files in other pbem games, and I can not open them...

Dazz_G
Jun 23, 2008, 04:34 AM
I'm no expert but the way I understand it, the game administrator needs to patch to 3.17 when he gets the turn then if we are all already on 3.17 when the turn arrives everything will be ok.

I don't believe it will work if some are on 3.13 and some on 3.17, nor can we start using the patch half way through the turn sequence ... the admin person has to start the ball rolling.

slaze
Jun 23, 2008, 09:55 PM
I started the game, so I went back and opened my last save, played it on 3.17, and sent it to burliconni. So if the save that's out there is unable to be played by some because they patched, there is another save making it's way around which should be playable for those who've patched to 3.17 (a reply of the last turn for me, burliconni, dazz and whoever else has seen the latest save).

Dazz_G
Jun 24, 2008, 04:15 AM
It might have been less confusing had you waited for the turn to arrive with you ... two versions of the same turn could get messy.

burlicconi
Jun 24, 2008, 06:16 AM
Ok I got the turn I already had played...
I sent it to kbrennan, but I'm not sure what exactly to do, who is next player?

Dazz_G
Jun 24, 2008, 08:18 AM
You need to send to me ... I replaced Brennan and what you have now is obviously the 3.17 version.

burlicconi
Jun 24, 2008, 11:19 AM

Dazz_G
Jul 19, 2008, 07:49 PM
You could be right ... I never heard from Shifty after I sent the turn.

Did anyone get the turn from him ?
