    [pbem] Play time - start after November 6th

    Welcome one and all to a new adventure into new lands.

    This be a game of discovery, a game of fun, a game to see what we can learn as we each step out into the dark.

    So pack your swag, grab a torch, do not forget your sword and shield.

    Personally not bothered how many players we have in this game, as long as all understand that is they go awol (that is away with no explanation) then their civ will be retired so that the game keeps some momentum. In other games I dare say the numbers should be only 4 - 5 players. In this lets try for the max

    If you in for some fun, and enjoy civ, then feel free to join up.

    Oh yeah, the start date is due to the release dates here in Oz. Seems the Wiz used all his magic up on a balloon for some Babe from Kansas... not sure what that means...

    Well it is good that Civ IV is finally so close.. closer than Hell freezing over one could say.

    Who wants to play
    Which Civs
    Turn order
    Game specifics such as map size

    Many a fine point to be discussed by those looking to play.

    H Tower, are you looking to play?

    I agree with H Tower, this forum is now officially cluttered by all these pbem threads...
    Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. -Isaiah 41:10

    Chill out Nik

    Mark approves, and they will be moved to the new Civ IV pbem forum when he sets it up. That is why we have started the titles with [PBEM].

    Nik, you may not be a pbem player, but there are a few of us around, and we have been very patient in our waiting to discuss how the various pbem games will operate.

    These discussions are a major part of the game play, so chill out matey.

    So far I see only a few threads. Last I looked there were near 100 active Civ III pbem games at this time. I expect that number to be surpassed in the coming 2 - 3 months with the arrival of Civ IV.

    Nik, are you going to play?

    I may not be a pbem player as for now, but I do consider if I should join the succession game. I doubt I'll play much MP, one because I don't like the idea much, but also because if I were to play MP I'd like to play peacefully with the other human civs, and it seems like that's not how most people play(being warmongers and not builders as me). A succession game might be it for me though. Or a MP game where the players agree to not go to war with each others all the time but rather cooperate. But then I'd need people from the same time zone, so who knows.

    EDIT: BTW, I still think you should have your own forum for this already now.

    Nik,

    not sure you understand the concept of PBEM - Play By E-Mail

    in this players do not need to be in the same timezones old chap

    And as posted, Mark has the forum issue sorted.

    Oh, I do understand that. That remark was directed to MP in general. Should have made that clearer...

    I'll (provisionally) write in as well. But can't guarantee that I'll have the game available at Nov 6.

    Although i have my own threads (for 10/24 or close recipients ... nudge nudge ...) I wanted to address this here for HTower and Nikolai.

    I indeed asked for a PBEM forum, and was told we should do it this way until release day. I apologize for the clutter, but such is life If there's adequate demand/clutter, i'm sure the Admins will take that into account in determining precise details and times for things.
