23 looking to start a pbem with some mature players - Page 2

Craigzoot · Mar 16, 2006, 03:06 PM

hey greatkingbeef you got my stuff right well my time zone is central -6 if i forgot it.

Craigzoot · Mar 16, 2006, 03:09 PM

and i would like to be rome or japan

greatkingbeef · Mar 16, 2006, 06:39 PM

Ok. There are 9 people now so i think we should stop it at that or it may drag out a bit. So everyone above this post who has said they want to be in it is in.

I'll give you all until 7PM GMT Sunday to PM me your details and then i'll set up the game with turn order decided by timezone. If I get everyones details before then i'll start it earlier.

Does anyone have any problems with the game settings that I put in my last post if so tell me and we'll see what everyone thinks.

By the way, your SMTP server is what is used to send e-mails so entering this will mean you can send turns from within the game instead of having to send it manually. It makes things much easier so I would recommend it.

At the moment I am still waiting on details from;
Civman123
Wrangler89
Mysterio10000

Players currently in the game are;
Hairystrawberry - Napoleon
Shadowrydor - Montezuma
Sakuhnder - Qin Shi Huang
Craigzoot - Julius Cesar
Greatkingbeef - Washington
Jrocket76 - Frederick

My only suggestion would be if we have nine players to maybe bump the map size one notch larger.

greatkingbeef · Mar 16, 2006, 07:39 PM

I was thinking that as well.

I'll wait to see how many people actually send me their details first. If its 6-7 players i'll make it a standard map but it 8-9 players are playing then i'll make it large.

Is everyone happy playing a Terra map?

On another note, nobody has chosen the same leader as their first choice so far so I haven't had to turn anyone down yet

Hopefully this means we'll get a bit of variety in playing styles as well which should make for an interesting game. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that I don't start next to Monte

shadowrydor · Mar 16, 2006, 09:16 PM

All the setting sound good to me. And thanks for setting this up Greatkingbeef.

I am new to PBEM, but I have seen discussions in other PBEM posts regarding tech trading being turned off. I'm not even sure how tech trading would work in PBEM, but I thought I would mention it here in case we need to make some decision now.

wrangler89 · Mar 17, 2006, 12:49 PM

thanks for setting this up. a quick question on smtp address - how do i get this for you? thanks again.

shadowrydor · Mar 17, 2006, 12:58 PM

Wrangler,
Your email provider should be able to provide you with your outgoing SMTP server address. For example, if you were using gmail, it might be "smtp.gmail.com".

Craigzoot · Mar 17, 2006, 06:05 PM

is it the same thing as a tcp/ip

Craigzoot · Mar 17, 2006, 06:26 PM

what do i do after i am done with my turn? i have never done a pbem

Zukov · Mar 17, 2006, 08:23 PM

I'd like to play as well if its not too late. I'm a noob as well. I sent greatkingbeef my info.

The game is started and the first turn has been sent to Shadowrydor. Please post here when you recieve it so that I know things are running smoothly

shadowrydor · Mar 19, 2006, 08:12 PM

I received the game, played my turn, and sent it to Craigzoot.

Craigzoot, post when you receive the game so I know it got sent OK.

Craigzoot · Mar 20, 2006, 04:00 PM

Craigzoot · Mar 20, 2006, 04:11 PM

shadowrydor · Mar 20, 2006, 04:14 PM

Take 1 turn. After you end the turn the game should automatically prompt you to send it to the next player.

Craigzoot · Mar 20, 2006, 04:17 PM
