Okay guys, let's try something different.

No victory conditions, all those boxes unchecked, even time. This world will develop as many do, and completing the Utopia Project, launching a spaceship, maybe even getting voted in as World Leader Pretend, or completing multiple genocides will still be possible, but, except in that last case, the game will continue afterward. We will play it until we're all tired of playing it, and decide to start a new one.

Alternate Reailty just means it's more about the story than the win. Diplomacy will be very important, players are encouraged to pursue their own limited (or grandiose, go ahead, kill everyone!) goals. Posting about these things is encouraged, too, though not required.

Note: the start time is fixed at 8pm local time, unless modified by all players' agreement, with a minimum of 24 hours notice before any changes. The day(s) we play are flexible, based on everyone's availability. I can play pretty much any day at this time, for 2 hours or so.

Who's up for it? Looking for 6-8 reliable players.
 
In though it will need to be one week after the start of daylight savings or I will be on East Coast time which will make it untenable.
 
So at least a few days after this weekend, then, it looks like?

I'm open to weekdays, weekends, whatever. I finish my current job in three days. :D

Yes traveling and all that silliness. But things die down after that for a while so I should be good for most evenings 11pm pacific time for 2 hours.
 
Prefer weekends, but week days are fine if everyone agrees a particular day. Starting next week is better.
 
According to my fingers and easy mathematics the time in central europe will be 8 pm - 12h = 8 am. I can do this on weekends just like last time. Since I start work at 7am weekdays those are completely out for me.
If you can work around it I'll be there!
 
I knew there was someone who could only play on weekends. All good, Foffaren, I think we can work with that.

So we are four, add tab, zalta, maybe Heinage, we might get that 7-8 player game.

It's interesting and challenging to have tommy in the game :goodjob: but I'm worried about how the story line would develop except maybe rallying against the ultimate rise of a superpower. Perhaps if you and tab stuck in an eternal war, then the rest of the world can live their fantacies and dream about literature and poetry. :lol:

You're welcome to join us, Tommy, as long as you can be consistent with finishing games once they've started. A game like this would probably run at least 3-4 sessions, and maybe as many as 7-8 or more, depending on what occurs. So that would be a month or two of weekly games at the same time. I say this because last time you joined one of these, we couldn't find you for the 2nd or 3rd session, and had to abandon that game.

Also, I'm not sure how you know what anyone else thinks. :confused:

Agreed, he's a strong player.

For the record, I don't expect this type of game to necessarily be any more peaceful than any other, and anyone who plays as though it will is likely to get wiped out. :goodjob:
 
I want to say it again that up a size for the map may help delay war, ie. standard size for 6 players (still 12 CS though, or large size for 8 players (16 CS)
 
A low sea level can do the trick sometimes if lines of mountains appear in the center of the map(a bit like Banman's GMR game)
 
Large is good. And I want in please, on weekends! Also, continents please! Give us some space to get to form blocs.

Hi vra, I remember you posted before as being interested, but then I'm not sure what happened. Where do you live? Does the time work for you? If you're in America it'll be Friday or Saturday night, latish, depending on your time zone.

Hi Vra, nice to see you again. You do know that this is not a GMR game, do you? :)

What time zone you are in?
