Big and Small Free For All

[fizikis]

Well, I would like to be the sixth player of the game, but unfortunately I have a condition that makes it hard for me to participate: I can not play on Saturdays and Sundays. If no one objects to me stalling the game over weekends I would be happy to join. But I will understand if you say no.

 

[DMOC]

I certainly don't object. As long as you can play during the weekdays and let us know if you can't play for an extended amount of time, it's cool with me.

Please send me your email along with preferred civ and time zone.

So right now we have 5 .... 6 if ruff joins.

 

[ruff_hi]

I'm in. Did you send me a test game because I got your email but no attachment.

 

[DMOC]

Stupid mistake, resending.

Also I've sent GyroLeader the test save.

 

[ruff_hi]

save works for me.

@DMOC - you still having difficulty opening the save I sent you for that other pbem?

 

[DMOC]

Ruff - yes I still have difficulty with the other PBEM.

Also what civ are you going to pick, assuming you want to play in this game.

It seems like the only save games I can properly play are the ones I create.

 

[ruff_hi]

@DMOC - upload that file - would love to look at what is going on. Just rename it to 'blah.txt' and you should be good.

I'd like to play in this game as Isabella of Spain.

 

[GyroLeader]

Okey, DMOC i tested the save you send me and worked fine, i sent it back to you.

 

[DMOC]

Attention

We now have 5 official players.

1. DMOC - Kublai Khan/Mongolia GMT -5
2. xracrossx - Huayna Capac/Inca GMT -5
3. mc-red - Mansa Musa/Mali GMT -0
4. Ruff hi - Isabella/Spain GMT -5
5. GyroLeader Tokugawa/Japan GMT+2


We could start the game right now actually but I would wait until fizikis replies again with his preferred civ, time zone, etc. What do you think?

My current turn order proposal:

1. DMOC
2. Ruff hi
3. xracrossx
4. GyroLeader
5. mc_red

Does this make sense?

 

[ruff_hi]

looking good - play order is fine.

 

[mc-red]

wouldn't I be a 4 as -5->0->+2

 

[ruff_hi]

wouldn't I be a 4 as -5->0->+2

No. Best option is to have the game heading West as much as possible and to only head East once.

so ... -5 -> -5 -> -5 -> +2 -> 0 -> -5 etc

 

[mc-red]

I'll take your word for it
I lose early religion either way

 

[mc-red]

Actually, now I think about it can I change my leader as starting with myst isn't worth it with this order?

edit:
Mansa of Mali if possible

 

[DMOC]

Okay mc-red, you'll be Mansa. Hopefully your skirmishers won't prove to be too much of a hassle.

So if fizikis doesn't reply by tomorrow, I'll probably start the game.

 

[mc-red]

Much appreciated
Can't promise too much on the skirmishers

 

[fizikis]

My time zone is GMT+2 and I would like to play as Napoleon of France. I'll send you my e-mail through PM.

My CIV black-out time is from Friday evening till Sunday late night (GMT+2). So if I get the save on Friday afternoon I should not be slowing things down too much. I am also offline most of this time.

 

[DMOC]

OK, good to know that.

Attention! The Game Has Started!

Players (in turn order):

1. DMOC - Kublai Khan
2. Ruff hi - Isabella
3. xracrossx - Huayna Capac
4. fizikis - Napoleon
5. GyroLeader - Tokugawa
6. mc_red - Mansa Musa

Please be sure to send your email to the person who is behind you in the turn order. Also, out of courtesy, please post here saying that you have played the turn date and passed it on. Not mandatory, but it's just nice to see who has the save at which point.

I'll start up a game now and send it to ruff_hi.

 

[DMOC]

4000 BC sent to ruff hi

(This was the first map I generated.)

(Good luck everyone!)

By the way, remember no wars until turn 25 ... after that, you're free to do whatever you please.

 

[ruff_hi]
