PBEM: Heart of Fire GM needed, and rules discussions

[Minute Mirage]

Standard or large map, average planet settings (I don't mind too much about these), transcend difficulty, flexible start, directed research, no tech stag.

No password preference

No permanent pacts sounds good to me.

[Jamski]

Me too, in which case, disallow joint victory

Please check the edited player list and preferences to make sure everything is spiffy .

Are other players interested? (Frankychan and Kody)

[Jamski]

Looks spiffy to me

No pods? Hmmm. I'd rather have pods for my worms. What do others think?

[Snowflake]

Suggestions for exploits allowed and not allowed?

[Hercules]

Waiting in the wings if Frankychan or Kody don't show. And PKs

[Snowflake]

Captain Hercules, I'm thinking we can always have one more person. The pace of the game is not going to be too fast anyway. I'm thinking except for the early games it might be good if I can play the game on a fixed day every week.

So I say we let Captain Hercules in. What do others think?

[Hercules]

Thank you M'mselle Honghu. This is good company

[Barinthus]

Yep indeed, Hercules .

HongHu is right - 'yes' to no scatter means no pods scattered. If you want pods all over, 'no' is the correct response.

Players list and perferences has been updated...

I also encourage you guys to give me your GMT so I can set the turn order based on GMT to help keep the game going. It's up to you folks although.

[Frankychan]

ARgh! Sorry for not checking in for so long!

I'm still up for it, if it's ok.

I'm new at PBEM so forgive me if I have no idea on what to do.

[Barinthus]

Welcome, Frankychan .

Right now what I really need from you is your preferred password to open your turn once you've received it. PM me your password or I can just assign one to you.

Please review the preferences and restrictions to see if you agree or not.

[Hercules]

Agree with most preferences, but would like flexible start. Also no Co-op victory or permapact.

Gaians need average native life

email xxxxxcathal.mullaghan@ntlworld.comxxxxxx.

No pwd preference

I think Stockpile after facilities is ok but does this lessen Morgans FM advantage. Didn't Rubin discuss this in the Gufnork game set up

GMT = 0

[Jamski]

Allow stockpile, since there's no way to police it, allow crawler upgrades ditto, but no interceptors on auto or "hyper-forming"

Happy to have Herc play - so long as he keeps up with the other game we're playing too. (Which is about to get interesting)

GMT+1 for me (well, actually +2 since its summertime, and Herc is actually +1 for the same reason )

The reasoning behind less pods is the removal of the "luck" factor for the sake of being a fair challenge between the players.

Hercules, I tried to PM you your password and it said that your PM account is full.
