New SMAC PBEM with 4 players Classic Game :)

[Fosse]

I'd take the Peacekeepers in a second game. xxxkylebenanderson@hotmail.comxxx

[Net Warrior]

Hey guy, The PeaceKeepers are already spoken for in the 2nd game

[Fosse]

Oops, they sure were. Hive is a good second choice for me, looking (this time) at what's been taken.

Back to the first game for a sec

I was hoping in the rules we could haver CO-victory off OR have a rule that no two human players can win together ( you could team with an AI)-- I just find it ruins the game for two strong players to team up to the end . . .

I haven't played any PBEMs to that point, but that does seem plausible. As far as rules are concerned, I'd also prefer that random events were turned off.

I assume random events WILL be off-- As for CO-OP, I know that tournament rules allow as many as TWO human controlled factions to share the victory

I just find it more interesting diplomatically if everyone knows they are ultimately alone. Some of the more boring games were ones where two (of perhaps 3 evenly matched players) team up to the bitter end . . . .

OK, so in game 1, it's teaming with the AI but not a human, and random events off. Sounds good so far. I'm ready to start.

Me too-- who is responsible for setting up the game ???

[DilithiumDad]

In self-start mode, it would be the Gaian player who starts. That would be me in game 2.

[Kratylos]

Ok game start. Turn sent to Gaians

[Minute Mirage]

Should we start the second game? We have four players already:

Gaians - DilithiumDad
Hive - Fosse
University - Minute Mirage
Peacekeepers - Net Warrior

[Minute Mirage]

It seems I'm repeating myself here, but is there still interest for the second game?

[Net Warrior]

I thought the game was on but that we were still looking for someone to hold the passwords.

Hey DD, maybe you should just start the game while we're still looking.

BTW, where can I download a copy of the map?

You can download the map here.

Johndmuller has agreed to hold the passwords for the second game, if we want to start it. I'm interested in playing, but what about you others, i.e. Net Warrior, DilithiumDad and Fosse?
