PBEM New Concept: Two Headed Giants

[Sultan Bhargash]

I thought up a cool idea for a more fun variant of PBEM, "Two Headed Giants";

Four players play, each player picks a culture area and takes two civs from that area, only one of which can be expansionist.

The players two civs turns are back to back, so that each person gets two turns before having to email their game along. Double the fun, and of course your civs would start nearer each other and be able to share techs, cash, etc. and a common aim of getting your player to win somehow. It might be most fun with elimination...

So anybody interested in this?

Great idea SB! I'd be interested.

 

[joespaniel]

I would play, but I'm already doing two PBEMs.

Good idea, though.

 

[cgannon64]

I'm in! I call Carthaginians and Ottomans.

Okay well let me figure this out: the culture areas are:

Mid East, Mediteranean, European, Asian, New World (?)

So it is a matter of picking the areas. I am happy to defer to the next three people who claim areas and choose last.

So, Plexus and the next three people interested, pick your culture area and two civs, please only one of them expansionist. When I have three players I will add myself and make up the game in the order me, Plexus, next, next. You have to pm me your email, also. I would prefer we don't get hyper with this one (ie trying to plan long sessions instead of just passing the game on whenever you get the chance). That's why we are playing two civs, anyway.....

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

Okay cgannon! Plexus picks and we get one more player...

 

[Plexus]

I call Japan and Mongolia (they have to be from the same culture, Cgannon).

 

[cgannon64]

Wait: I just realized, Carthaginians and Ottomans aren't from the same culture group...so what is another Mediterrian civ? I definetly want Carthaginians, and then another expansionist Mediterrian (note: thre is a difference between Med. and European) civ.

Well, the Med civs are

Rome
Greece
Egypt
Carthage

(personally, I'd go Carthage and Egypt)

[edit] there are no expansionist Meds [/edit]

 

[KaNick]

i'm in just give me a sec to pick my civs.

 

[KaNick]

I'll take mid east. How about the Arabs and Persians.

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

Okay, I need emails from Plexus and Grandmasta, I have your email I think- those are_underscores?_in your name?

Gannon went to bed without picking his civs for this. Might stick him with Carthage and Egypt.

 

[Plexus]

mine is Enemysoldier88@yahoo.com

 

[KaNick]

Yes they are understores.

 

[KaNick]

How about getting through 1 round tonite.

 

[Plexus]

yea, i'm game

 

[Sultan Bhargash]

Okay here we go. I will set it up so that Gannon goes last. The order will be me-plexus-grandmasta-gannon, so he can start us again in the morning.

I will email you soon plexus and post here when I have picked my civs and done my turns.

 

[Plexus]

ok

 

[KaNick]

CGannon's email is conorg@ny.rr.com, right?

 

[KaNick]

Plexus, you already have my email, right?
