New PBEM - 8 players!

[Genghis_Kai]

Obviously, there are many options if we restart. I didn't want to discuss them yet, however, unless there are signs that the majority wants to.

I don't really mind, but potentially it's probably quite likely that someone will drop out before the game is completed.

At this rate the game is going to take more than a year... And if we play until a time victory, although unlikely, our game would take about 5 years on that projection. So in that sense, the game is far too long if we want to be likely to reach a victory conclusion.

The experience from our first approach shows, that the next turns will be faster.

 

[Dazz_G]

I agree with Borgg ... once you get a couple of turns out of the way, things speed up a fair bit.

Whats the alternatives ... a game with quite a few AI positions or, as suggested, countries combined into supernations which may mean fewer people but also means each player's turn would take considerably longer to play which may rule out a lot of potential players, especially with the problem that a PBEM turn cannot be saved mid turn - you gotta play it all in one go

 

[borgg]

where we are actually? Who is making his turn currently? Just want to schedule when i could be over my next turn

 

[MarkyParky]

I am making my first turn (China, France, Netherlands, Greece). I am in the middle of France turn, I expect to finish it this afternoon.

 

[Genghis_Kai]

Seems like most of you are more patient than I do. Well then this is my chance to learn

Well, your next turns will be shorter. You will have less units and cities to handle.

Well then, Filip and I will try our best to ensure you to have the same luxury too

 

[Bastian-Bux]

Hmm, I could declare war on Canada and Mexico ... thereby reducing the number of civs to play.

I am really scared what you come up with. But iirc the british options for counter-strike in first turn are very limited.

@bastian: haha.

 

[MarkyParky]

So finaly my first turns are done and sent. Sorry for delay, next time there will be less things to setup (and forgot) and I will be faster definitely

Don't worry, I won't take Berlin in my first turn, haha

 

[Genghis_Kai]

Moverred, could you please confirm that you have received the game and taking your turn witout problem? It happened a few times that we thought the game was already send and later realize it actually didn't.

Otherwise, please take your time to play it

 

[Dazz_G]

Any word from Moverred ?

 

[borgg]

maybe we should start the search for replacement if he does not responds.

 

[Genghis_Kai]

Moverred sent me an email. He said he was out of town and just came back yesterday.

 

[borgg]

Nice. You checked the files i sent you once more Kai?

 

[Genghis_Kai]

Received your latest password this morning at work. Will try tonight.

 

[Genghis_Kai]

Hey borgg, I can reproduce the double movement phenomena using your save game. Weird...
