The Gauntlet of Eight

To be honest, I am kid of looking forward to this, and kind of dreading it.

Looking forward to: Being able to spend as much time as I want on the single turn. Should let me do every little thing that I sometimes omit.

Dreading: The amount of time this will take to finish, and going up against you guys.
 
I don't think it'll take long to finish once we get rolling, and we may be able to have a day here and there where we're all on, and we can pound out a few turns at once. We'll probably need to work out a time, but it won't take as long as you think... as soon as smackster gets to Cavs we're all dead, so we better make sure to take him out before he gets there.:p:p

Did I say that aloud?
 
Knights is enough I think. Anyway you shouldn't be trying to get people against me, anyone want a alliance :)

Maybe we don't need to actually post the save here, rather just say who's got it, and I have it right now.

I've moved it on to SirBugsy.

Strange when I loaded it I got the message to Save and Exit or Continue, I hit Continue and it wanted ScoutsOut's password, which I did not know of course, so I just cancelled.
Then I tried again and loaded it, and it asked for my password.

I think we may find a few strange bugs with PBEM.

Yes, after I loaded it for what was essentially the second time, I did play my turn, entered the password I typed in first time (I'm quite suprised I remembered it, after three other attempts :)), and also saved it.

Don't worry Smackster, since I'm the one who started the game, I'm the first obvious target. The next obvious is who ever declares on me, because they're going to be very weak after that. (tries to make himself look all big, so y'all leave him be, to have a nice quiet builder game like the good old days when I played a Warlord game, and was proud when I won.) Other then that, I don't have any alliences planned... until I know who my neighbors are.:p
 
The game is off to MB.

Welcome aboard GRS.

Actually if we knew about the game before we started, we could have set up the rotation around the world. Right now the game goes from California to Florida to Boston to Spokane to England then Cape Cod back across the ocean to Germany then back to Boston.
 
No, but I just completed my 15 unit warrior to sword upgrade and I'm hunting for Sesn. :D
 
You'll never find my one tile island. :mischief:
 
One way of speeding the game up is to play the save as soon as you recieve it. I know Conquest is a pain to load, but play it and post it, instead of waiting on it.

Another thing that would help would be setting up times when we can post our saves, so the next person knows about when they'll be able ot get it.
 
Ah, np really. I was not complaining. I just don't use enough smilies. We all have lives to live and while I could post pretty much all of the day, it's is quite hard for me to tell when I could play and when not - even if it is just some minutes.

Play as soon as received is fine, but it is har for me to tell you a scedule when I could play and I guess it is kind of that for others too.
 
The problem is that we're spread out all over the world. Alerum and I are on Pacific time (-7 gmt) GRS is on CET (+2 gmt) (I think) mad-bax is at +1 and then we have a whole bunch of folks on EDT (-4)
 
We're still early in the game... we can always reroll... I'm sure we'll get a few people (who have great starts) who won't like this idea, but it's about the only thing that can fix it. If we did this, any suggestions on turn order to keep things running smoothest?
 
I'd go east to west

GRS
mad-bax
East Coast group: smackster, scout, Bede, Sesn
West Coast: Alerum, Bugsy

If you really will take that start from me :( we should go east to west, all else is nonsense.

Ditto :shrug:
 
Y'all sure about restarting? Once it's done, I won't reroll. And I'll take the first thing that pops up.

Here's the turn order:

Alerum
GRS
smackster
scout
Bede
Sesn
Sir Bugsy

As soon as of you aggree to it, I'll post it and we'll go from there.
