PBEM Game Concept -- Tag Teams

If this is okay with everyone, we could schedule a date when everyone is free, and do this PBEM for six straight hours. We could complete three or four turns in six hours if all of us were available, don't you guys think it so?

I could do this for certain on Fridays and Sundays (GMT -5).

It's OK for me.

That would not work for me Myzenium

So sorry that you can't do it, WildFire. I guess we have to scrap my idea until everyone is available.

Game has been sent to Isildurs Heir.

 

[Reagan]

got, played, sent

 

[Reagan]

hell-low????? anyone home?

 

[WildFire]

Yes.

But the game isnt in my inbox. I saw it a few days ago, IIRC.

 

[DogBoy]

But game isn't in my box.

 

[Isildurs Heir]

I'm here also...

Not in my box...
Last turn I show was on Sat night about 7:30p (US/PST).

Just to confirm something...when we meet another civ, we're supposed to make contact. If that civ hasn't already paired up with someone else, then that civ becomes your team partner, right?

 

[Sashaddin]

Last turn I got was Friday.

 

[Lt. 'Killer' M.]

I sent to meli on Feb 3. he got that one.

 

[Melifluous]

Though these posts are out of order, the rational conclusion is:

The game was somehow lost between WildFire444 and Sashaddin. If this seems reasonable to Reagan, I suggest that WildFire resend it.

 

[Reagan]

that's fine. the last turn I saw was the third one. i presume wildfire444 has played the 4th turn (3800)?

 

[Isildurs Heir]

You'll all love this....

So far we've been averaging a turn every 5 days.
The average amt of turns to complete a full game is 540.
5*540=2700 days
2700 days/365 = 7.4 years

So, according to the averages, we should be finishing this game sometime in June 2010.

Think Civ 4 will be out by then? (hopefully we can convert this game)

 

[Reagan]

7.4 years? windows will be osbsolete by then. what'll we do?!

on the bright side, if we can cut our turn time in half we'll be done in 3.7 years.

Yikes! We should have activated the elimination victory condition!

Maybe some of us should call it quits so the others can have a chance to finish this game in a reasonable amount of time...

 

[Isildurs Heir]

OK..just got a turn from Myzenium and sent it on.

Looks like we're redoing the 3900 BC game?
Is that just to get it going again or some other reason?

 

[Reagan]

@Isildurs - The game got lost somewhere along the line, so we are picking it up where we last could trace it.

 

[Reagan]

The version I got from DogBoy has the Russians (not me) up next and listed Isildurs Heir as having been the last player to take a turn. DogBoy, did you send me the wrong .sav file?

 

[Reagan]

I just sent the 3850 BC file to Killer.

 

[Reagan]

Is this game officially DOA already?
