Mac SMAC PBeM #1

[-Ashman-]

I'm going to start a game soon. Please sign up!


Ash

[Baston]

Count me in my friend

I'll be Chairman of the Hive

[Stumpy]

I'd be into a PBeM game, I think... except of course that I've never played one. So if you don't mind coaching a newbie a bit, I'm all for it.

So far this is who we have:

-Ashman-: University, brimhall@xmission.com
Baston: Hive, mark.hunter@net.ntl.com
Dan: Gaians, kaesmayr@topmail.de
Stumpy: Spartens, bthornt@itsa.ucsf.edu

I'll start this one when Stumpy let's me know what faction he wants.

Ok, looking forward to start this game..how many turns a day shall we try to get done?

Dan

[-Ashman-]

Ok, we're all set. I'll kick it off tonight when I get home from work. I'd like to shoot for 1 turn/day. We're pretty spread out from Europe to California so that's probably the best we can do.


Goodluck!!

If it's not too late, I'd like to get into this game. I'll take the Morganites or Peacekeepers if either is available.

Upon further thought, I'd like the Morganites or the Peacekeepers if available.

Hello all!
I have started the game. Our goal is to try and get one turn in per
day if possible. For those of you who are unfamiliar with how to play
your turn I'll list the steps:

Launch SMAC
Click Multiplayer
Click Hotseat/PBeM
Click Load Multiplayer Game
Load the PBeM saved game file
Make sure it is your turn. Sometimes the wrong turn is sent.
Set your password. (Only needs to be done the first time)
Play your turn.
Save and Exit, don't set a password for the next player.
If possible, please compress the saved game file using DropStuff. This
helps out those of us on slower connections.
Email the turn the next person.
Post in this forum. Example:
Turn 2101 --> Baston
This allows us to keep track of the turn.

Here's the list:

1. Illiria(Dan), Gaians, kaesmayr@topmail.de
2. Baston, The Hive, mark.hunter@net.ntl.com
3. Rue, Morganites, classica@clear.lakes.com
4. Jon, Peacekeepers, JWight@bigfoot.com
5. Stumpy, Spartans, bthornt@itsa.ucsf.edu
6. -Ashman-, The University, brimhall@xmission.com


If your email address is wrong, please let me know.


Thanks and goodluck!!!
