[BTS] New game?

[AutomatedTeller]

I like events in single player - I used to think they should be on in multi player, but they really don't even out over time. Either way is fine, though.

I'm on the east coast of the US - GMT -5, I think.

I would like Mansa.

 

[Traks]

I also vote for random events.
While it is true that they can screw you, they still are fun.

In evening I will make player list, request emails sent to my PM and other small administrative tasks. As almost all are MP newbies here, should be pretty interesting game without "most optimised" game.

 

[Leise]

I´ll choose Catherin of Russia if that is ok.. I go with the flow on rules and map.. =)

 

[Traks]

Traks
ParadigmShifter
Ben09
mcaber
Leise
AutomatedTeller

All except Ben send emails to my PM box, timezone and time when you can play (if any specific times). For me, mostly no weekend turns. This will also show who is still interested in game.

Rules:
Standard map
Snaky continents with low water level
Era - Ancient? My vote is for Ancient.
Barbarians? No Barbarians, Standard, Raging? I would prefer no Barbarians myself.
Choose religions
No technology brokering
As for leader... I will take Frederick.
No Romans, and Darius probably?
Random events - still voting. Right now votes are in favour for having them in.

 

[AutomatedTeller]

I'd prefer barbs on, but certainly not raging barbs.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Yeah barbs on (not raging) for me too.

Noble level presumably? Barb cities are easy to take then

 

[mcaber]

Second barbs. I feel lonely without them barbs.

 

[Leise]

Buy some at the barber shop.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Swedish humour! We love it!

Swedish chemist joke:

"I would like some deodorant please"

"Certainly, ball, or aerosol?"

"Neither, I want it for my armpits".

 

[(Pro)Peanut_P]

I would love to play this aswell, it will be my first PBEM. Been playing MP for years though.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

PMing Traks would be the best move for you then. The game hasn't started yet.

 

[mcaber]

Swedish humour? Not much to speak about, as we are net importers of humour. Mostly from you guys actually.

But the chemist joke most definitely fits in with foreign understanding of our humour as one mostly consisting of ribaldry. Anyhow, I know it cheered up Leise immensely since he thought the joke was on me

As I grew up with Monthy Python, Fawlty Towers and Black Adder, I in turn would like to salute british comedy!

 

[Traks]

Okay, barbs are in. Now we will meet annoying peasants when exploring countryside.
I will turn vassals off, as it was told to make diplomatic victory too easy.

Game turns out to be pretty eurocentric. So list of players will be in following order:
Automated Teller
ParadigmShifter
Leise
mcaber
Traks
Ben09? (no leader picked, no GMT availability told)
Pro(Peanut) - need email and GMT availability.

List may change depending on Ben09 and Pro(Peanut) timezones.
Automated Teller is only one with minus zone so far

Leaders:
Automated Teller - Mansa
ParadigmShifter - Saladin
Leise - Catherin
mcaber - Louis
Traks - Frederick
Ben09 - ?
Pro(Peanut) - ?

 

[(Pro)Peanut_P]

My time zone is GMT+0 (UK), Email Kms_Badboyz@hotmail.com
Leader Lizzy please.

 

[(Pro)Peanut_P]

Oh and i vote no events

 

[Ben-09]

Okay I'm GMT +12, and I wanna be Hepsetsut (Is that the right name? Its the Egyptian woman)

And I vote no events.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

It's Hatshepsut, wondered when someone was gonna claim her, one of the best MP civs.

 

[mcaber]

Bless you.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Ahh Tishu is coming out in the next expansion.

 

[Traks]

Leaders and order:
Automated Teller - Mansa
ParadigmShifter - Saladin
Pro(Peanut) -Elizabeth
Leise - Catherin
mcaber - Louis
Traks - Frederick
Ben09 - Hatsepsut

No events then.
On Monday I will probably make the game, and let it roll.
Should I set master password and share with other player, just in case?
