Yes, but only if you donate a pint of blood to the Apolyton stores, so that we can trace you down and pluck out your eyebrows, should you vanish from the game.
(I want to finish one some day)
Cheers!
PS: I'll reserve some o' that Morganic juice.
Let's leave two more slots open, aim for 4 players (though y'know we'll get 5 at least)
If people are really anxious to finish a game then we should restrict it to 4 humans, and make it a small or tiny map. Standard at most, I've had some fun standard map games.
It appears it's SMAC, but if everyone has SMACX,
I wouldn't mind giving that a go.
(and if you don't and you're interested, send me
email, I know a place with a really good price)
We need a CMN. I know a few. Let's fill in the blanks first, then I'll approach one.
Oh yeah... what kind of rules do we want?
I'm leaning for the 'standards' and 'average', but would kinda' like to see Blind Research on. What say ye?
I'd also like to point out the PBEM Tournament Rules, which outlines the PBEM specific rules/restrictions on exploiting bugs. Standard issue.
Fill the thread, gentlemen (or ladies, it's so hard to tell on this medium... but it's pretty easy to assume)
G'night.
I'll be Gaians if anyone doens't mind!?
Any rules are ok with me. Blind research is fine!
Unfortunately I don't have alien crossfire so it'll have to be the original, and yes, finishing (which will probably involve me getting a beating!) would be good!
Since this is my first multiplayer game, is there anything else I should know etc?
Cheers!
Frank
P.S. yeah, if anyone knows where I can get Alien crossfire I'd be interested!
One comment on your intended blind research. Most PBEMS avoid it because it slows down the game ( it can take years longer to get to desired development and weapons tech and the games therefore often go much much longer)--it can also unbalance things slighty if you leave research totally to "luck . . . its not so bad if you permit the selection of research categories ( if you look into the matter you can pretty often select which tech comes next even in BLIND)
And Pbems DO finish. I have finished about 20 multiplayer and another 20 duels with maybe 7 or 8 games die out . The key is finding reliable players. Now, even if a guy disappears, we can usually find a replacement. Pretty much all the experienced folks have taken on factions as replacement players at one time or another.
And duma . . . if you want a faster game with a better chance of finishing, try a duel.
You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo
I don't mind having blind reseach on, but I do consider it a little unfair on the builder factions; IMO it makes the momentum beelines more accessible than the builder ones. Obviously, as Spartans, I'll manage if everyone else wants it on.
The email address is correct, if you convert the obvious words to their appropriate symbols. Expressing it in that way makes it slightly harder to harvest for spambots.
I haven't heard the term "sing bug" before... what is it?
