New Conquests PBEM

Hey, I like Simcity! :p

I just really enjoy the evolutionary and diplomatic aspects of the game also, but if people are just sending armies and tearing up land all the time I guess I'll just have to follow suit ;)
 
personally, I prefer to wait for war until the middle ages when I play the AI, like to build up my civ ... oops, that's a lie, I always take out the nearest civ as soon as I discover ironworking.

you really dont know what you're asking, but I might try it in the morning, but if I don't have a turn waiting ...

Ironduck, I tried that au pair thing with those barbs I popped out of the hut ... not a good idea, they didnt eat my children, but while I was sleeping they kidnapped half of my harem. Most of my eunuchs were subsequently executed.
 
Hmm, two minutes earlier should suffice ;)

Your harem consist of eunuchs? That makes no sense ;)
 
Okay, this ideally should have been discussed before the game started, but I wanted to get it going. What limitations should we have in the game regarding illegal strategies? If you know of one and you think it should be illegal we need to discuss it while the game is still young, not when the game is just going good and somebody realizes someone else did something they don't think is fair. Obviously, anything that is cheating (reloading / replaying your turn, using a cheat to view the whole map, etc) needs to not be done, but are there any specific strategies anyone feels should be kept out of the game?
 
I don't know of any cheats, but for anyone that does, please don't ;) - I don't see what the fun would be anyway.. Sometimes my mouse goes all weird and places a unit in the wrong position, I assume reloading on accidents like that is ok?

On a slightly different note, I guess it would be mighty nice if people don't do rate of passage rape or some such thing, but that might just be me :)
 
The number 1 no-no is: Don't kill off RJ!!! ;)
Other than that, I would like a totally honorable game where everybody doesn't break active Peace treaties or trade agreements. (and most especially ROP agreements!)
 
I'm all for the honourable play, don't think I would want to play any other way. I have a problem sometimes remembering the deals though.. when playing the AI I forget stuff like a war alliance and make peace before the 20 turns run out simply because I forget and there's no reminder.. I wish there was a way to set warnings for all deals when you're about to break them.
 
actually, it should be okay to break deals, IMO, all part of the game, there's always a risk when you enter a deal w/ another player, adds a certain element. but that's open for discussion. obviously the penalty for breaking a deal is none of the players will ever trust you again.

yeah, that's different, or if you forgot to do something, like you got a city about to go into disorder & you were going to move your slider, but then forgot, i was referring to things like attacking a unit, but your unit loses, so yuo reload and either dont attack, or attack in a different order / way to try to get the victory. of course, we're all on the honor system because we have no moderator monitoring us.
 
I suppose if everyone agrees to use the patch, we all need to get the patch.

BTW, was up earlier this morning, no turn waiting, guess the timezones / availability are such that the turn wont get back to me b4 i go to work, so i'll sleep in tomorrow an extra 15 minutes.

no more thoughts regarding rules? i think im outvoted regarding deals, so looks like we'll be going the high road and play a 'totally honorable game'
 
The patch is only a beta. Why not keep this version until they actually release it?

Rules? Hmm. Well, another player one these forums has crafted a fine set of rules, which I modified further. I'll dig them out and post them if you like.
 
1.12 is also a beta, although an 'official' one at that.. Either way I agree on waiting since few people are using it yet. Terribly complicated if running several PBEMs not all being the same version!

I don't think honourability is something that can be voted on anyway, as long as reputation hits for breaking deals can be made public like they would with the AI I'm cool with it..

Sorry you didn't get a turn in the morning, too hard to predict the rounds.. sometimes they'll be there, others they won't. I'll keep trying to take my turns the moment I see them, best I can do :)
 
no big deal about the turn, just want to use that as an excuse not to get up early every morning :D

we're still doing real good keeping the game moving, i had 3 turns yesterday, 2 so far today, just do what you can there are going to be some slow days, everyone is going to cause a delay at some point or another

yeah, i think if a deal is broken you should be able to email or pm the other players about it, or even post it in this thread

wait on patch is fine w/ me

Yeah, go ahead and post them.
 
Hmm.. it seems our game has stalled a bit.. Last I sent was 24 hours ago to predesad and he sent me a notice 16 hours ago that he had played and sent on - which must be to rubberjello.. so does rubber or playboy have it now?

Just trying to keep it going at the nice pace we've had so far :)
 
:o I screwed up. I sent the wrong save on to Playboy.

But the long delay is not entirely all my fault, as I was checking online for over 10 hours after I sent the game on (only - I might add - half an hour after predasad sent it to me), and I didn't get Playboy's message about my screwup until giving up, going to bed, and finding Playboy's message 5 hours later.

Sorry!
 
No prob, just wanted to know if it accidentally had gotten stuck :)

I've seen some other pbem threads where everyone goes 'who has the turn?' and no one seems to know.. I guess they forgot if they got it or not after a while..

Btw, what is that quote about in your sig, rubber?
 
That quote would be from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", of course.

I had to work yesterday (something I have to do once in a while), and went to bed right after I got home. I checked in the middle of the night and saw the wrong turn, sent a note, and passed the new turn this morning.

I agree with not wanting the game to get stuck, ironduck, which is why I send confirms to the player ahead of me.
