player 5 is still ok for me. ^^
Could you also add ICQ and Genghis, can you redistribute the complete list via PM so that we can work out our mischievious diplomacy? ^^
Btw, Russia isn't my kind of pivo, thats even worse then the so called american beer.
Ok i talked to Bastian. He is fine with drawing over the day. But i would like to split the german evening time between me and ace. because i cannot draw each day in the early morning.
Any way to do like this:
Player 1 (GMT 1300 - 1800) - Genghis Kai
Player 2 (GMT 1800 - xxxx) - borgg/Ace of Spades
Player 4 (GMT xxxx - 2300) - borgg/Ace of Spades
Player 3 (GMT 2300 - 0330) - Joshua67
Player 5 (GMT 0830 - 1300) - Bastian-Bux
(yes i know the civs might be changed due this. But...)
I can accept this (also to play Russia). I think i can find a way to split this 9 hour period with Ace.
Further (from my point of view) this time schedule is very compressed. If you _very_ strictly demand each day a turn i should point out that i cannot guarantee that. Also with these more comfortable timings for me. Apart from holydays ( will be from august 8th for 5-10 days) i can make a move each 2nd day for sure. Mostly i can hold the dayly rhythm. And maybe sometimes i wont get it in the evening and than do it in the morning. Compared to other PBEM this turns will take really time and you cannot do this briefly in 5 minutes.
In short: this schedule should be a general advisory that is referred in most days. But i dont want to have serious discussion if someone is failing the timetable from time to time. I think this should be for advantage for everyone here. Goal should be to hold the deadlines, but in end i am also happy if we make it 1 turn in 2 days as long game is not going to sleep in.
Another suggestion : Maybe it's more efficient to setup a pitboss server with a 24h clock-timer. So we are more free in the timing. Just a suggestion, if anyone has the oppertunity to setup such.
Any news from Josh? Or are we back down to 4 players again?
Agree. I guess the schedule is only a
I don't how the pitboss works. Can you tell us a bit more?
Generally it is like a synchron multiplayer civ. There is anywhere in the world a server runing civ all the time. Anytime any player can login into the game and make his move. After each 24h the turn is ended. All the same if all players have drawn after 5 minutes yet. The turn-clock ticks in a hard intervall ( like 24h).
yes it is possible to make doublemove in form of following:
1400 player A draws
2200 player B draws
2359 -> next turn
0100 player B draws
0300 player A draws
you can say its ok and can happen, or you say as long a and b are in war the should confirm they draw i fixed turnset. ( like a before b ).
But e.g. In our szenario usa could draw whenever it wants due its not involved to any war yet. in this pbem we are very fixed to any (whatever) order.
a pitboss server needs following condition: a 24h online pc. must not be any hardcore machine. i read aboud normal pc's running like 12 pitboss games the same time simultanously. most of cpu-usage is caused be the client we use. this pitboss is only a backend without any graphic engine.
