Dual games

[Earthworm]

I tried this back with PTW but everyone was on to Conquests by then so it didn't take. So I will try again.

I would like to start 2 PBEM games simultaneously with the same players.

The turns would be carried out together so both saves would be sent at the same time to the same player. I think it would be interesting to see the differences between the two games based soly on the map type.

What do you all think?

UPDATE
Players:
Earthworm - Kublai Kahn/Mongols (earthworm ta gmail dot com)
Grandpa Troll - Catherine/Russians (On-File )
Platypus Rex - Cyrus/Persian (platrex ta gmail dot com)

Duality - Islands
Small Arcipelago (Tiny Islands)

Duality - Lakes
Small Lakes - Normal Ocean

The Rules would be:
Noble skill level
Standard game speed
Temperate
Default Barbarians
No Tech Trades
All Victory conditions

[Gargamel]

I'd be interested in playing as the Russians, Catherine.

My only question.. quick, standard, or epic? If it's epic I may have to pass, but otherwise I'm in.

I'm new to these forums, but am in it for the long haul.

My timezone's pacific standard. I work from 1pm to 9:30pm, can play after 9:30 or before 1 each day. On weekends more.

[Gargamel]

Is this still going to happen?

[Earthworm]

Sorry for the late update, yes I am still planning it. I will post again in a couple of hours with more information.

[Earthworm]

It looks like we are mostly Pacific Time. Since I don't know Platypus's Time Zone I will place him last in the turn order.

OK so the Players are:

Earthworm - Kublai Kahn/Mongols
Emperor_V - Mansa Munsa/Mail
Gargamel - Catherine/Russians
Platypus Rex - Cyrus/Persian

The Games are:
Duality-Islands
Small Archipelago - Tiny Islands

Duality-Lakes
Small Lakes - Normal Sea Level

Both:
Standard Game Speed
Temperate
Default Barbarians
All Victory conditions
No Technology trading (All other trade types acceptable)

Does this sound acceptable to everyone? If So, Please post your Civ specific atributes you would like.

[Gargamel]

I'm not sure what you mean by civ-specific attributes.. I think you mean name, etc.

Name: Gargamel

Not sure what else needs to be posted. I must be missing something, hehe.

[Earthworm]

I was refering to Leader Name / Civ Name etc, in-case you didn't want to be the Russins, but instead the Smurfs, or whatnot. If your default civ name is fine, then I will leave them alone.

I know some people like to have custom Civ names.

[Addled Platypus]

sounds like a winner Earthworm

I will rename with Alt-D

game -on

[Emperor_V]

Ready to go!

[Earthworm]

I forgot, what skill Level do we want to play at?

Noble?

Also PRex what is your email?

I will setup the games tomorrow and get this show on the road.

[Gargamel]

Whatever skill level works works for me.

[Earthworm]

I Updated the first post to include all of the information. I should have the games created by 7:00 pm Pacific time.

I look forward to a great game with you all.

[Earthworm]

Emperor_V. I setup the first game and e-mailed from In-game. Unfortunately I didn't realize that I didn't setup my own civilization and it picked randomly. Can you ignor the first game sent. i.e. the one that was sent before this post was made. The following 2 e-mails will be the real ones.

Sorry.

[Earthworm]

4000 BC to Emperor_V for Both Games.

[Earthworm]

This isn't a promising start.

[Gargamel]

?

I just got home from work, to find the save file in my email.. I'll play it now.

How quickly are we expected to get turns done?

[Gargamel]

Okay I just checked out the files.. and they're 4 files, just named "emporer" with no .sav or anything like that after. I'll try renaming them.

[Gargamel]

I've played both.. just sent em off to Platypus.

[Earthworm]

I guess I was expecting to see the turn tracking happening here.

I just wasn't sure the turns were actually moving.

[Gargamel]

cool.. I had a hectic day at work yesterday and came home a bit frazzled.. should've realized that's what you meant.

But looks like we're rolling!

[Addled Platypus]

both to Earthworm

1 location rocks !
1 location I will have to try real hard

I am happy with both

[Earthworm]

Off to emperor_V.

[Emperor_V]

Earthworm, please resend the last two... seems I didn't receive them...?

Emperor_V

[Earthworm]

Re-sent

[Gargamel]

Save sent to Platypus

[Addled Platypus]

the save name is now Platypus Res to PAININTHEBUTT?

both sent to Earthworm

let me know if this kosher

[Earthworm]

Both games sent to Emperor_V

Apparently someone's computer is names Paininthebutt. For some reason the player name is swapped for the Computer name in CIV. Hopefully this will be fixed in the patch. Until then, we will have to live with it.
