Noob looking for noob gaming buddies

[Tyrghen]

Hello,

I'm pretty new to these boards, I mostly read the strategy guides and all, though I've been following this site since Civ2 and like it a lot.

Since I'm pretty addicted to multi-player gaming experience, I wanted to try out the PBEM with some other newish players (I started Civ4 not long ago). My hectic schedules and online activities kinda prevent other types of MP.

So I'm looking to start a team game with one or two players to see a bit how it goes. So if you haven't done PBEMs and want to discover them, let's discover it together

I can play on a daily basis, so I should be able to do between 7 and 12 turns per weeks (vacations excluded)
I have msn, icq, aim if you want to contact me. And I read my e-mails all day and evening long.
You can of course PM me here aswell.

I was thinking of a deity game with raging barbarians, maps and number of enemy civs to be determined. Human players being in the same team.
Regular game (though I have BtS and Warlord)

On a side note, I hope I didn't break any forum rules

Just wanted to add... I might make a Pitboss server if people show more interest for that
I have a computer to run it and I don't use my connection as much as I used to anyway

Just trying to find out if the problems of lost bandwidth are solved. (when someone disconnects improperly)

alright, I don't quite know what im supposed to do since i've never done one of these but my email is deadeye435@yahoo.com let me know the settings and lets see if we can get another new player or 2 in here.

 

[Tyrghen]

I'll send you a message now, we'll discuss what type of game you'd like

 

[Shifty189]

i'll be happy to join you guys. but this won't be my first PBEM game, it will be my second. (my first being a game i'm playing now i'm on the 3rd move ) normaly people say some things about game setting when trying to set up a new game. speed, age, things like that. are we doing random leaders?

p.s. i'll send my email address in a PM

 

[Tyrghen]

Hello mate, yes, indeed, I've seen that in other threads. Though I'm totally open on this one, I'll send you a proposal through mail and we'll discuss it.

 

[Tyrghen]

I was thinking of moving to a Pitboss game, didn't realised what it is and now have a server set up and it's really nice

Way easier than having to mail the latest version to the next player.

Which version of Civ are you using? Myself I got the 1.7.4 (from what the file says)

 

[XdeadeyeX]

Do you guys know anyone else new who would doa pitboss game? I've sent out pm's to everyone i know thats new and am currently waiting for responses.

 

[Tyrghen]

I joined like 3 days ago, still need to learn a bit about the forum and the people here

 

[bsecem]

I would love to learn and play with you guys. been playing civ on and off all my life! not very good tho...

let me know if you guys have an extra spot

 

[Tyrghen]

Hello mate, we might start a new game, I'll PM you.

 

[Giraflorens]

Hi, i'd like playing a PBEM too. I'm playing one already and I can handle one more.

I prefer a BTS game at prince/monarch level. I think that 4 to 6 players is ideal for not waiting too much for emails.

I wait for your answers.

 

[Tyrghen]

Hello, currently I'm a bit overworked, so I have to slow down on my online/gaming activities. But I'll let you know if that changes.
Though I opted for Pitboss games now as it is the easier to handle/setup as people just need to connect and if they don't, the turns keep ticking for the others.
It has some drawbacks though, but nothing's perfect

I haven't ever played a PBEM game and I'm definitely up for the challenge.

Id be down. But Diety is out of my league.

 

[whitewolf199]

I'd be interested in a vanilla pbem game, but i also am not sure about playing on deity... also I'd like to do first game where human players team against the AI.

If you have room for another player, email me: dconk199@yahoo.com

 

[Elros]

I'd be up for one. It'd be my first multiplayer game, although I've been playing against the AI for a while now. I'll send my email in a PM

 

[snowgod]

sarge, may day, white wolf and elros
I've had great success so far with my first pbem game so I'm going to start another
vanilla or warlords only( no BTS yet)
It'll be 2 or 3 games simultaneously, 5 human / 5 AI
Probably Noble level, all other options to be discussed once roster is full
I'll PM each to see if you're interested
