New 1x1x game LATE USA Sat nights in a month... rules discussion here

[deity]

Just chatting to Ljube and we are looking at starting a big new game in about a months time on USA Sat nights.

* 1x1x
* no alliances but full use of diplo screen
* maximum capture of 3 cities per turn (no military cooperation with other civs)
* otherwise all normal civ MP rules (no city bribe etc and Rah Rules as backstop)

These are just a few rules to get discussion started...

So far we have interest from Ljube, deity
Deity Dude and Jon.

1) No hut finder.
2) Map size? Large?
3) Start time? 9pm EST?

Definitely agree on no hut finder (never use it).

Map size dependent on number of players.
4 or 5 players will be a normal map I guess - any particular climate settings?

9pm USA EST sounds good; but everyone please note that Daylight savings ends soon in Australia and starts in USA/Europe. That'll be fine for me. Hopefully Trev can join this game too? And Makeo? And Lungchild?

I can start no earlier than midday my time (Aust CST) and also it is now the major season for tabletennis, so in about 1 in 3 weeks I will be unavailable due to a tabletennis tournament, if people are happy to invite me into a game with those conditions, that is fine but I will not force myself into the game.

[Ljube]

Also, no diploguiding.

[Deity Dude]

Sounds like a great game. Unfortunately I can not commit. When I talked to deity about this I totally forgot that this would overlap into spring and summer. From May-Sept I am usually out of town on weekends. If there is any interest in a USA weeknite game I would be interested.

[Caesar Jon]

Soooooo.... When are we starting?

[deity]

Damn DD! I want you in this game!

Starting date will be set by Ljube... in about 3 weeks time.

We got 3, need at least another one.

[deity]

Ljube... we need to know your starting date. Is it next weekend? We can still play with only 3 if you like. Hopefully we get at least another one. It might be worth working around Trev's schedule. Be great to have him in.

[Ljube]

Next week is unlikely as I have a trip out of Belgrade. But it's still not sure I'll have that trip, so I'll tell you in a couple of days. Do we have the crew? If we have 3-4 people, we can easily arrange the most suitable time for the game.

Let's play an euro-time game. I can't play right in the night!
