AM4- PBEM/SG Sign Up Thread

[amirsan]

Yeah! I thought that makingit Demogame also would make it too complicated but if all of you agree to add it on too then we will. I personally haven't seen Bootstoot's thread, so I realy didnt know how that works. About other's looking in each other's thread. We have to trust each other and if the only way you could win is by cheating then you dont know how to play Civ3 and are wack.

I'll put this is the SG Registry. If any team has a question about the game they have to post here and we will answer it.

Here's bootstoots thread

I really don't see the need for nominating, we could vote (voting time undecided), and then if a person declines or doesn't accept within 24 hours then we goto second highest person or do a revote.

 

[amirsan]

Ok, I like the idea. But we still need one more person to continue with it.

 

[Bacon King]

I belive we should consider changing the difficulty down to emporor, if we don't get the last person in a couple of days.

If not, atleast PM the people you did and see if they'd play on emporor

(btw, if you ever go on vacation, you'd better let me replace you, because its the least you could do after all the suggestions/help/ect. i've done )

 

[amirsan]

Dont worry, your my runner up for replacements . About changing difficulty to Emperor, I was thinking the same. It would be the game mostley against the AI as you know the game on Diety depends on them so changing it to Emperor will allow us to focus on the other team also. This is only if everyone else agree's.

BTW, I still cant believe we cant get just one more person!

 

[Bacon King]

ok, i've updated my sig.

btw, good site

 

[amirsan]

BTW, thanks!

I'd join if there are enough deity players in my team, or we move down to emporer.

only problem:
This happened with amirsan before, when I tried to play a PBEM. Never worked. I am GMT +10, so I doubt anybody would match up in times.

This may be a double post, the site isn't working again.

Oh, and by the way, there is a link to GBM01 Anzac PBEM in my sig (I think). around post 40-something, there is a timetable I compiled. I was wondering whether you would like something like this, to see if I can participate.

Wow!! Triple post!! I never seen that!

Ok! Gingerbread Man!!! Glad to have you join, the PBEM was pretty unsuccesful becuase that reason so I guess we'll have to work something out. We are considering changing difficulty to Emperor. Diety is just a little too hard to think about you Human Opponent and AI on your back. Emperor is a little the same but not as much so thats were the game is!

We should start to split the teams now, I dont realy know how I should do it, but any suggestions from you guys would help. I'll PM the other sign ups so they all come.



This is the New Roster;
(in the order of the sign up times)
Amirsan-
Earp-
Gengis Khan-
kryszcztov-
Bacon King-
Gingerbread Man-

You guys just tell me how to split the teams.

 

[Bacon King]

we could pick randomly

btw im going out of town from now to the 6th.
i wont have internet acsess were i'm going.

 

[amirsan]

What you mean "random"?? How will we do that???

 

[amirsan]

Ok, I guess we cant start until then.

Here is an example of my timetable:

		Wednesday
|   Person   |4-6am|6-8am|8-10 |10-12|12-2|2-4 |4-6 |6-7 |7-8 |8-9 |9-10|10-11|
|    GBM     |	   |     |     |     |    |    | XXX|XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|XXXX |
|  Checkmate |     |     |     |     |    |    |XXXX|    |    |    |    |     |

|  Sir Eric  |     |     |     |     |    |    |    |    |    |   X|X   |     |

What we could do is post our times, then people with corresponding times will go on opposite teams, and play each other during the SG.

so in this example:

		Monday
|   Person   |4-6am|6-8am|8-10 |10-12|12-2|2-4 |4-6 |6-7 |7-8 |8-9 |9-10|10-11|
|    X       |	   |     |     |     |    |    |    |XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|    |     |
|    Y       |     |     |     |     |    |XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|    |    |     |
|    Z       |     |     |     |     |    |    |    |    |XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|XXXX |
|    A       |     |     |     |     |XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|    |    |    |     |

		Tuesday
|   Person   |4-6am|6-8am|8-10 |10-12|12-2|2-4 |4-6 |6-7 |7-8 |8-9 |9-10|10-11|
|    X       |	   |     |     |     |XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|XXXX |
|    Y       |     |     |     |     |    |XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|    |    |     |
|    Z       |     |     |     |     |    |    |    |    |XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|XXXX |
|    A       |     |     |     |     |XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|XXXX|    |    |    |     |

We know that Z and A can never play against each other. Y and Z would not have much time to play against each other. But X and Z have 2-4 hours to play, Y and A have 3hrs to play together. So X and Z are on opposite teams, as are Y and A.

However, what if a team member is missing? Well the idea is to be able to play against as many people on the other team as possible.

 

[amirsan]

Ok, that sounds good. Can someone that knows how to work with the GMTs make the timetable???

 

[Gengis Khan]

Wish I could.

We could always get someone completly impartial to draw the names out of a hat.

 

[amirsan]

Times::

Gengis Khan- Eastern (US) -5 GMT

kryszcztov- Paris (Euro) +1 GMT

Earp- Texas (US) -6 GMT

bacon king- Eastern (US) -5 GMT

Gingerbread Man- +10 GMT

So those are the times for the roster. GBM, sinse you did the chart before, can you do it for us?? I tried and it came out terribly .

 

[Bacon King]

im back, and by picking teams randomly, i mean someone draws names out of a hat or something.

 

[Gingerbread Man]

I'll do it for you. By the way, none of these times will be in daylight savings. Please add one hour if you are in daylight savings.

Watch this space for updates! please post your times, in your timezone, in non-daylight savings times.
