"Binge" PBEM game
The plan here is to try and arrange one day per week where everyone can get online at the same time and get as many turns done as time permits. 3 (possibly 4) players only, any more and getting everyone together at the same time could get too difficult.
Some form of instant messaging might be useful. (I use messenger.) I'm usually free weekdays 7-12pm GMT, + weekends Settings will be: pangaea, small map, restless barbs, regent AI. I'll be the Ottomans. Any takers? Last edited by Crazy Eddie; Dec 23, 2002 at 05:53 AM. |

OK. So it's looking like a weekend only game so far.
 (And if anyone is wondering why this is a PBEM game and not regular MP, it's because I'm stuck behind a firewall at the moment and getting things sorted is a "social engineering" problem.) |

Lol Sabo,
I can just manage an hour or two, a whole weekend is a whole party season + seeing the kids and missus, as well as not having my Sunday morning lie in!! Can we please keep this in perspective, only a game, only a game, only a game. |

Looks like we've got enough now, no more players please.
We'll try this with the 5 players we've got. I think the whole weekend would be a bit over the top Sabo (maybe some other time  ) but that's the rough idea - get the turns moving nice and quickly. I was hoping for 2 or 3 hours per session Essexloony, can you manage that or is your S.O. likely to object? At a guess, this is going to happen Sat or Sun evening. Are there any times anyone *won't* be able to join in this weekend?If you need to get in touch, E-mail or message me: crazy_eddie_@hotmail.com |

This weekend is pretty bad for me. Once every six weeks I have to do a turn of nights (I am in the Railway Engineering business) and this week-Christmas week-is it.
I may be able to get on during the day on both days though, as the missus will be at her Mothers. How would that grab ya? Say 3-5 pm GMT? |

We'll see how that works with the others.
Getting a time arranged is going to be the hard bit.

3-5 PM will be fine for me. I might have to leave 15-30 minutes earlier because dinner will be ready then. But I'll ask if we can eat a little later.
My E-mail adress is Djurre.Koopmans_AT_student.uva.nl (replace the _AT_ by @) |

Here's the latest :
The game started with only 3 players on the 28th. Myself, Djurre & Tiamat. (against 2 AI civs) This weekends sessions totaled just under 4 1/2 hours and we managed 14 turns in total, having a few problems with corrupted saves for a time. It's a standard PBEM now until saturday, then the next session. More later.
