The game has started. First turn sent to Hercules90. The guy that put the map together rolled a '3'.

Play order is ...
- Hercules90 (London?: UTC +0)
- ruff (NYC: UTC -5)
- Tachywaxon (NYC or similar: UTC -5)
- methinkso (NYC or similar: UTC -5)
- Mîtiu Ioan (Romania: UTC +2?)
- bathsheba (London!: UTC +0)

Leaders / Civ combo is ...
Hercules - Qin Shi Huang (Ind / Pro) of Japan
Ruff - Frederick (Phi / Org) of Korea
Tachywaxon - Elizabeth (Phi / Fin) of Greece
methingso - Tokugawa (Agg / Pro) of England
Mitiu Iona - Ramesses (Spi / Ind) of Holy Rome
bathsheba - Napoleon (Org / Chm) of Zululand

That looks like a pretty horrible group of leaders. The map is 'small' - I should have changed that request when we increased to 6 players. This will be an interesting game.

I've started a game at http://pbemtracker.com/ - it is called 'StraightUp' so join that game so that we can use the tracker (password is 'aa').

Pardon my ignorance, but what does that mean he rolled a 3?

Pardon my ignorance, but what does that mean he rolled a 3?

Play sequence is ...

1. Mîtiu Ioan (Romania: UTC +2?)
2. bathsheba (London!: UTC +0)
3. Hercules90 (London?: UTC +0)
4. ruff (NYC: UTC -5)
5. Tachywaxon (NYC or similar: UTC -5)
6. methinkso (NYC or similar: UTC -5)

The person going first would be randomly selected from the above. The map guy rolled a '3' and so the 3rd person in the above sequence goes first. Thus the play order is ...

3. Hercules90 (London?: UTC +0)
4. ruff (NYC: UTC -5)
5. Tachywaxon (NYC or similar: UTC -5)
6. methinkso (NYC or similar: UTC -5)
1. Mîtiu Ioan (Romania: UTC +2?)
2. bathsheba (London!: UTC +0)

 

[ruff_hi]

Probably the first of many ... but where is this game at?

@Mîtiu Ioan - pls join the tracker for this game so that we can start that process running.

 

[Mîtiu Ioan]

Ok - which is the name of the game on PBEM Tracker ?

 

[methinkso]

I haven't seen a turn yet so it must still be with Tachywaxon.

[Mîtiu Ioan]

Done.

 

[Manco Capac]

Of course, it has to be Tachywaxon! Pffftt...

 

[ruff_hi]

tracker is started. Let me know if I need to change the in-game IDs.

 

[methinkso]

Um... yes?

Ruff_hi sent a GPS e-mail to everyone saying he sent the turn to you so you should have it unless it didn't get to you for some reason. Check your spam filter.

 

[Manco Capac]

Wait? Are you saying the game is already launched? I waited in the PBEMtracker to be set up. Yeah, I don't look my emails quite often. More often PBEMtracker than my email. I'll look at it.

 

[Manco Capac]

Ok, I just realized the deal. Am I forced into using the applet? For now, I can't get the save, thus I suppose the applet is obligatory.

I am rather taken aback because it's been 3 PBEMs I follow and no one used that applet to my knowledge (for I can see).

 

[Manco Capac]

Ok, it's a problem with my email. Will try a bit later hoping stuff will repair itself.

It isn't. I just find it much easier to forward multiple pbem saves using it than the tracker. I will always do this so it will always go to the next players email instead of the tracker.

Should we swap tachy and methinkso in the play order?

[Manco Capac]

Not at all! I just played my turn yesterday. Been perhaps 8 hours ago...on PBEMtracker.

Let's hope I'll survive. Hunting start is worst for MP. I would have preferred Mining just like Lizzie. Nonetheless, despite having no experience in MP at all, don't expect me to be soft. I'm not naive haha. Just settled on a nice hill. Will start warrior, thus don't expect me doing very rookie errors.

 

[methinkso]

GPS via e-mail since Mîtiu Ioan's tracker name doesn't match his in-game name yet.

 

[Mîtiu Ioan]

Played my turn and manually sent the save further.
