[Enigma_Nova]

It's a great opportunity to learn tactics.
-siggified-

[Enigma_Nova]

Perhaps someone will explain to me what's so unpopular about this?

[Illuminatus]

Only one day has elapsed - have patience Enigma.

[Enigma_Nova]

The plan was for someone to come and post in the thread, to keep it bumped and to generate interest. (a 10 reply thread is interesting)

Interesting and basicly a learning experience I'll join!

[Enigma_Nova]

Roger that dacole, but I am looking for more players.
Where are all the Apolyton PBEMers?

[MrWhereItsAt]

I'm sort of looking for a PBEM that doesn't die (me looks at RftP and Anyone Wann PBEM? threads witheringly), but I'm not so sure as my first PBEM in SMAC this would be the best way to go about it.

[Enigma_Nova]

Well, if the passwords are open-knowledge then we'll have no probs finding a replacement.

I'll start the game now, once I get a decent map.
You guys can all explain your turns, right?

[Chaunk]

If we play on the standard map of planet, I'm game.

I'll play the spartans, since I totally suck with them!

[Enigma_Nova]

Okay, I've made something of a scenario.
It's the map of planet with Nexus included.

The Nexus, Ridge and Jungle are reserved for AI,
Unless we get a few more players.
Anyone request a starting location?

[Enigma_Nova]

(63, 29) for me.

[Chaunk]

(27,29) then please. I think I'd like to change my faction to one of:

PK's
Angels
Gaia
Sparta.

I'll play around with them all, and let you know...
