Fantasy PBEM - Interested?

[fe3333au]

Greeting All

I am eager to get a fantasy pbem game happening ... so this thread is firstly a place where we can meet and discuss the issues and to garner expressions of interest in the concept ...

Questions
> Is anyone interested ?
> What mod - WH, MoM, other ?
> What rules ?
> How many playing ?
> Any AI's ?
> Other topics ?

Now let me get some things straight up front ... I have not organised a game before so any assistance in this process would be appreciated ...

Initial Thoughts

The primary aim is to have an enjoyable fantasy gaming experience ... however I would require dedication to ensure a fast turn cycle ... and out of game contact is encouraged when formulating stratergy and deals ...

Being new to the process I was trully amazed at the number of lurker hits ... therefore i would see posting information about game turns to be important ... stay away from a lonely GPS comment ... be creative and the posting of screenies or flavour pics would be encouraged ... at the same time don't overwhelm the thread with irrelivant pics and always resize to fit the screen if possible ...

Also generally I would trust all those concerned to play fair ... so I was thinking that maybe occasionally you could post information or screenies in the spoiler (pull down mode) which would be accessible to lurkers ... the players would have an agreement not to peek ... info on strategies and secret deals and double crosses ... could be interesting

In addition to having fun, I also see us in a 'testing of the mod role' ... and therefore any problems encountered or frustrations felt should be clearly stated in a post on the thread ... These observations will then be forwarded onto the relevant mod thread for feedback ...


We have some time to nut these issues out as we are awaiting the imminent release of newer versions of the 2 named mods ... and I'd prefer to wait because of the plethora of new units (mostly spawned by the genius of aaglo) to be incorporated ...

OK thread is open

looks kinda empty so far...
but I might be interested, my last PBEM was some time back, which makes me almost a noob again in that regard...
what version are you playing with?
can't say anything to the mods yet but I'm gonna read those threads...

SephirothXIII

[EDIT] just saw that you're playing with c3c 1.22...

 

[fe3333au]

Hi SephirothXIII

Welcome to CFC ... yeah I am lonely in this thread

I assume that either ... no-one who pbems is into scifi/fantasy or they are waiting for the new mods to be launched and existing ones to be updated ...

I'm actually in no rush ... however am eager to eventually play one ... I think it would add another dimension to the game and with appropriate screenies attached to the thread, it would be fun for lurkers ...

I would be playing C3C with the latest patch 1.22 ...

I just thought to start the thread to discuss rules, etc and to get expressions of interest ... when the mods have been released I will post an invite on the relevant threads ...

A Mod based on Lord of the Rings is being tested at the moment so that is another option ...

If you want a pbem I suggest that you post your details in the Player Registry = Click
Also subscribe to the Game Registry = Click to keep informed about new games looking for players ...

Cheers

I am interested. I just started playing PBEM about two weeks ago. I like it and want to find two more to play in so i can at least play a turn a day in at least one of my PBEMs. I have not played either of those two scenarios but when u folks choose one i will practice on it. Since I am new at PBEMs i dont know what rules are good and bad but i think a description of miltary combat is good for folks to know how they lost their units. I live in california so i think it is like -8 GMT?? i am taking a guess. and maybe like 6:00pm to 12:00 pm??? GPS comment??? what is that?

 

[fe3333au]

Well Heeeellooo Sailer ... sorry could resist welcome to CFC

The games will have to be modified so that only 8 civilizations are present ... can I suggest that you DL the mods and have a play and see what you think ... that way when the next versions are released you can choose which you would prefer ...

GPS is an abbreviation for Game P Sent ... damn I forgot what P stands for ... thinking about it Global Positioning Satelite works as well ... It acts as a receipt ... and tells everyone exactly where the game is upto ... I usually use my game thread entry as a GPS ...

This is good for pbem noobie to read : click

But while waiting, join up on some more games ...

Thankyou for posting a note ... and have fun

 

[GreyBeard]

GPS Got, Played, Sent.

 

[classical_hero]

For awhile I thought this game had started because of Greybeard's comments. You should have mad a quote or reference to Sailor's post.

 

[fe3333au]

Thanks Greybeard for the correction ...

@ Sailer ... as you can see classical_hero made the mistake that a game was processing ... because this sort of message is often is posted ...

If this fantasy game ever does occur ... I for one would discourage this type of post ... imagine pages and pages of them ... they tell you nothing ...

your gmt-11

@fe3333au, I might be interested

 

[JG99_Korab]

I'll play with master of MYrror 2.0

 

[fe3333au]

@ JG99 Korab ... I will keep everyone who has expressed interest informed ... and eagerly await the releases of the mods ...

 

[JG99_Korab]

hmm. Do you know the approxomite time it is supposed to be released?

 

[fe3333au]

@ JG99 Korab ...

>War Hammer ... Embyodead has not been sighted for some time ... however it was mentioned that RL ... university study was his focus ...
>MoM ... Drift is teasing us with a change in game play options ...
>MoM Sorcerors ... waiting for MoM release ...
>LotM ... is in a private beta testing phase ...
>Mysteria (AD&D mod) ... not sure

So we wait until the release ... and then wait again until these have been tested and little bugs ironed out ...

However ... the postings have shown that there is at least some interest

I suspect I'll get a fun B-grade Horror Flick happening sooner ... click for Zombie

Regards

what would be the problem to play with WH 2.0 ?
I would also mention Pentagenesis, but maybe it's not very balanced.

 

[fe3333au]

@onedreamer
I would like to play with the sexy new units that aaglo has created

 

[Michellin]

Heya!

I'm interested in joining!
What mod - WH, MoM, other ?
Doesn't matter.
What rules ?
I'm new to this kind of games and so I have nothing to say about the rules, yet..
How many playing ?
I cannot decide that since I'm new. The more the merrier (is that how you spell it?)!

I am a dedicated player!

I live in the GMT +1 zone, in the beatiful country Sweden where the sun hasn't shown for a week and the environmental party keeps nagging about that Sweden should leave the EU.

[fe3333au]

Hi Michellin ... as mentioned above I am waiting for the new versions to be released ... I guess I got over excited and thought they would have been released by now ... anyway I will contact everyone when we are ready ... thanks for your interest ...

 

[onedreamer]

I didn't like the first release of MoM... but you can contact me for WH.
