Another Earth

Players: Calanthian, PatrolaSnova, Traks, ParadigmShifter, D!ck VII and TheOtherDaniel

A Beyond the Sword v3.19 PBEM game. Conquest is only one of the possible paths to victory. We're using the Earth2 mapscript.


Entry to this game is free but one has to be prepared to play for more than a year. Only serious players are accepted, and it is up to you to convince the game host
Those who do not receive invitations can request one by posting in this thread and fulfilling all of the following criteria.

************************************************** *************

Conditions of entry:
1. Turns will be taken every two days. If you have a job or anything else which requires that you go on frequent trips or spend a lot of time away from your home or wherever you play civ, then please do not sign up. For the game to be successful we need players who reliably take their turn during their allocated times. I do of course allow for vacations and so forth but it is absolutely imperative that if you are going to be absent from the game for more than a couple of days you let us know or take responsibility for finding a substitute player while you are gone. Players who are absent for 5 days or more and have not made any attempt to contact any of the players in the game will be replaced.

2. In your post you must also indicate two important things: (a) what timezone you are in, and (b) what times of day you are able to take your turn (remembering that you will be taking a turn roughly every two days most of the time). By requesting an invitation to this game you are also committing to potentially spending well over a year participating in this game.

Is there any interest in making a "The Chronicles of Another Earth" thread?

I sure hope others will be tempted once in a while to write stories about your civ..

Random leader sometimes kicks you in balls, but settings seem solid.
My email address is also known
And I am GMT +2.

Signing in. All my details are known.

I've put all my details in to Calanthian.

And I'm up for writing in a "chronicles of New Earth" thread. I'll just have to make sure I don't give anything away ebfore time.....

* Daniel likes to play the dutch. I am inclined to let him
Well, maybe others would like to choose as well?

* I want to start later today.. so hurry if you've got civ preferences.

* All other settings are agreed upon.

* D!ck VII: please send your emailadress..
but going to start anyway in a couple of hours (as you are later in the play order).

I'll go random.

I know Dick's email address.

Shouldn't the play order be the other way around (going East to West)?

On play order:

In the Next Empire we do it like this, and it works..
and in this manner one turn in 24 hrs should be possible (and hopefully we see that happen a lot).

PS. Paradigm:
what we can conclude is that it is better to have a lot of different timezones, and not like in the Euro game all in the same one.

Yes, but you want to go East to West then... Otherwise if I play in the evening and send it to a later timezone you are more likely to have gone to bed.

Follow the Sun!

EDIT: Order should be

* Calanthian (host), GMT +1, play in morning and evening, email adress is known
* Patrola Snova, GMT +1,
* ParadigmShifter, GMT +0, email adress is known
* D!ck VII, GMT -5
* TheOtherDaniel, GMT+10, available for turns most days between 7-10pm
* Traks, GMT +2

Well, I think you are right..

Hmm, I just sent the first turn to Patrola Snova..
OK I'll ask him not to play that one..

I'll use your order..

4000 bc to patrola snova

hmm changed from vikings to babylon..

PS check if save file is called Another Earth2

PS Remember that it is the Earth2 map:

We will all be starting in area's similar to "Europe", "Asia" or "Africa".
There will be a north and south america and a Australia without any players, waiting to be colonized..

So try to get some sense of where you are..
although it might take a while as the map is similar to the world, but not the same..

I'd be surprised if it gets to colonisation stage - MP games tend to be quite violent

I also expect quick blood, and colonizing not before 1492

Small warning - next week I am on vacation so my turns can be slightly erratic. I will try my best though.
After that week, I am fine with quick schedule.

4000BC to ParadigmShifter

Onwards.

Justinian huh. Only ever played 1 game with him - my first Immortal win (cheese AP victory!).

I may never know what my original starting location was like. Oh, the humanity!

Looking forward to playing my first turn this afternoon.

OK, I've had my turn. Now I'm ready to post my 500 word epic about how the wandering Dutch tribes banded together to forge a new nation. They sent their boldest and bravest out into the forests: young men seeking adventure and fortune in the world, settling the continent and taming the land....

Daniel,

the chronicles are up

Sent turn on.
