New PBEM game - All humans

[Quillan]

Hey, lets start a new PBEM game.

I figure maybe 5 people, no AI's. Hopefully it won't take too long to run the thing back and forth... maybe we can pick a day to send it back and forth for a few hours straight to get things going, then go to a more normal schedule.

So, EMAIL me :

Name you use
Civ you prefer
When you will probably play your turns

Also, what country you want to represent... (if you're renamed for example, Canada!) And, lastly, which preferences and options you'd like, we can go by majority for most things.

Looking for happy, relaxed players.

Hiya,

email: jamescorkin@yahoo.com

Civ preferences: 1) Perisans 2) Carthagians 3) Ottomans

I check my email all the time so I can play any time pretty much.

I think small maps are best (not tiny) and I'm happy with any other options you want.

 

[Hobbes]

Sign me up.

email gkiselis@peoplepc.com

Greg
Civ's : Celts, Carthagians, Jap's
Nights and weekends.

 

[Tiamat]

I am also interested on playing as well.

email: tiamatciv@shaw.ca

Civ Preferences: Vikings, Celts, Japanese

I work from home, so I am available pretty much anytime.

 

[Quillan]

Alright we need one more person and i will start it up. If everyone is available tonight we can maybe run a few turns, otherwise we'll try to get a couple hours soon to dedicate to the early going!

Here is the situation so far:

Player One: Essex
- Persia

Player Two: Hobbes
- Celts

Player Three: Tiamat
- Scandinavia (vikings)

Player Four: Quillan
- India

Player Five: Open

5 Players, 0 AI, Small, Archipelago, Warm, Wet, 4 Billion.

RULES:
No contact (trading information etc) with other civs until you've actually discovered them. No reloading. You must be able to play at LEAST one turn a day, especially at the beginning when they are quick. If you are high strung, please don't fill the last spot!

Post here, or email qnagel@yahoo.com to get the last spot, or with any questions / comments.

Yup, when you send me the rest of the info so i can pick my civ , pls don't post back in this thread about your game though, email me.
Thanks

 

[stalin006]

oh........well it is random civs check ur PM and the thread...sorry.
well back to ur thread topic

 

[Quillan]

Ok, i've started with the 4 of us, please check your email, good luck, we'll chat more soon

 

[Essex]

Shall we use this thread for turn tracking for this game?

After a slightly rocky start, the game has come to me and been sent on to Hobbes.

Good Luck All.

 

[Quillan]

Sure we can use the thread, but i am hoping with just 4 it won't be necessary. Everyone seems to be available at night, so we should be able to run a few turns, just do it and pass it along as soon as you're able
good luck all

Sorry, i was eager to get the game going, if there is a drop out or something i will contact you. Hopefully we can play another time!

 

[Hobbes]

I just sent the game on a little while ago. I did not know that we would be starting so soon.

Any info on the game??

Looks like we are playing regicide.

I thought we'd get it going ASAP, the people who replied seemed able to play frequently! Yes, regicide, all victory except diplomatic, standard world (i was going to do small, but misclicked), archipelago, 80% h20, warm, wet, 4 bil... Regicide because i like having a king, and to counterbalance the emperor difficulty (a mil unit for happiness).

Thats all off the top of my head, any other questions? Hopefully tiamat will be on the ball and i'll get the game back soon. If so, i'll do my next turn early on monday morning (EST).

 

[Hobbes]

If all members of the group are up for it, how if we designate a night where we will all be at our computers for a few hours?

Sure, i'm good either tonight (mon) or tomorrow (tue). I just got the game back and will send it back to essex ASAP.

 

[Quillan]

Everyone please remember, end your turn, THEN save and exit. Then send that file along.
Thanks

Hmm it's been over 3 hours since you posted Quillan and I don't have the game yet. Couldn't find the enter key?

I'm just posting this in case you DID send it, because if you did its lost in the electronic wasteland somewhere.

As for nights, I'm pretty much free between 5PM and 10PM PST every night except Wednesday.
