New PBEM

DuncanK · January 22, 2003, 17:07

I would like to start a new PBEM. The number of players is not important to me. I would like to make the world size large enough so that people could build at least one granary in the early game for expansion. I like to play on Regent level, but I'm willing to go with any level but Diety.

Anyone in for a new game?

Tom Red · January 24, 2003, 13:30

Yeah - I'm in!

DuncanK · January 24, 2003, 16:08

Great! I found someone. What civ do you want. Any settings?

Tom Red · January 25, 2003, 07:16

I think standard would be good for 4 players.

Do you want to play 1 on 1 with 2 AIs?

DuncanK · January 25, 2003, 15:26

btw, I will probably take the French

Tom Red · January 25, 2003, 19:33

OK - haven't played with both Human and AI players before. I'm happy to try it.

I'll send you a private message with my email address.

Thrumble · January 25, 2003, 19:43

I would be interested in playing the Spanish.

DuncanK · January 26, 2003, 11:46

Glad to have you with us Thrumble.

Ok, so far the settings are Regent Level, standard size, and 4 players. I would like to have Pangea too.

Tom Red · January 27, 2003, 12:59

I prefer Pangea too.

DuncanK · January 27, 2003, 14:20

I need email addresses. Mine is dunkil@msn.com

DuncanK · January 28, 2003, 14:35

I got Toms email address. I sent Trumble a message to get his.

j2k · January 28, 2003, 19:01

I'd like to play if you still have room...

I'm open to any map settings and my frist choice of civs are the Egyptians.

DuncanK · January 28, 2003, 23:24

Sure jason. I need your email address though. We want to get started.

j2k · January 29, 2003, 00:59

my email is pbem1@paperrat.com

DuncanK · January 29, 2003, 11:45

It's 5 days now since we heard from Thrumble. I sent him email but he hasn't replied yet. Do you guys want to start?

j2k · January 29, 2003, 15:50

I'm ready to start any time. If you guys think 3 players is enough, then I say lets go for it.

Thrumble · January 29, 2003, 22:41

My email is Brutus_Boy@hotmail.com.

I never got a message requesting it though.

andy_hammer · January 30, 2003, 00:50

Any room for another player?

If so, great, if not, not to worry.

I'd play the Russians, my email is:

andy_hammer2001*@yahoo.com.au

take out the *

Cheers

Andy

Ok we have six interested players, because I got an email from someone who hasn't posted here. I tend to agree with Tom Red that we should go with 4 or less. With more players the turns will take a long time. What does everyone else think?

If we go with 4 it will be Tom Red, Thrumble, j2k, and me.

andy_hammer · January 30, 2003, 04:39

No problem, have to get in quicker next time

Have a good game.

Cheers

Andy

I'd be willing to allow more than 4 players but I really would advise no more than 6 at the absolute max.

DuncanK · January 30, 2003, 14:11

Ok, six then. I will start the game.

DuncanK · January 30, 2003, 15:32

I'm going with large world because of the number of players

DuncanK · January 30, 2003, 16:08

I started it and took my turn. I'll be sending it to Stephen after this post. I decided to make it standard size with only 60% ocean. That will give us more room for expansion, but we can also engage each other quicker.

Here's the order;

1)DuncanK - French -
2)Stephen Lamm - Romans -
3)Thrumble - Spanish -
4)j2k - Egyptians -
5)Tom Red - Ottomans -
6)Andy Hammer - Russians -

Here are the settings;

1)Standard Size
2)Roaming Barbarians
3)Pangea
4)60% Ocean Coverage
5)Everything else default

I'm starting a thread to track turns. After you take your turn just post there as turn sent. That's so that if something happens to the turn we can find out what quickly and keep the game moving faster. I'm just going to call it DuncanK's game.

We can also label the turn files with the name of the next player, DuncanK's_Game, and the game year.

If you can't play for more than 1 day please notify us so we don't think you dropped off the face of the earth.

Tom Red · February 1, 2003, 05:18

great - looking forward to getting started!

DuncanK · February 1, 2003, 13:00

Me too, but I think we are having trouble getting the first turn moving. We may have to start again.

DuncanK · February 2, 2003, 12:37

Stephen Lamm emailed me to tell me that he's sorry about the turn but he's having trouble with his desktop. He's using his portable and he will play the turn soon.

I'm not sure why he doesn't post here. maybe banned.

DuncanK · February 3, 2003, 11:31

Ok Stephem is not going to be in this game. I'll start a new one.

Tom Red · February 6, 2003, 07:11

Hi,
Small point DuncanK - can you take our emails off the forum by editing your message - this will prevent spamming programmes picking them up and sending us loads of junk mail !! Everyone in the game should have made a note of them by now.
thanks
