New Game for new member??

[Phobos]

You are right Flubber. In other words, we need a CMN. Interested?

And to answer your question Zulu. No I´m not refering to Ibiza. Never been there (but that will change..) I saw the text on a LP-record with Psy Trance.

[Flubber]

Since I opened up my trap, I would be willing to hold passwords etc-- If you need more let me know-- ( I'm willing . . . just not experienced in game set-up--)

[Archaic]

Well, given the scenario on offer here, I'm afraid I'll have to count myself out. It's not exactly to my tastes.

[Chett Steele]

It does seem a good idea to have a neutral 3rd party holding passwords in case of drop out....

And as for faction....

Think I might go for the Data Angels....
If that has gone by now then put me down for the University.

Ready and waiting to go..

[Footpad]

Any chance of joining? Sounds a cool game. Let me know!

Thanks

Footpad

[Footpad]

Free Drones Please......

[Phobos]

Ok thanks Flubber.

Tell us when you´r ready with the map Zulu so we can get this show on the road (nice line eh? ).

Also, my email is syrad_alien@hotmail.com.

OK the lineup looks like the following:

Zulu - Pirates
Phobos - Hive
Chet - Data Angels
Footpad - Drones

AI to play two aliens and one other faction unless taken.
Flubber to hold passwords. Many thanks Flubber.
If i can reciprocate, would be happy to.

Game will start some time tomorrow pm.

So that we all have the same information, I'll mail the world map along with the first turn as well as my password to Flubber.

Please can you mail your passwords to Flubber once you've set them.

I realized that I am unsure what the game name is . . . Is it WW4 ?? (good name and short)


Also you say "no cheats" but there are a number of practices that people differ on. Is it your intention to follow the Apolyton tourney rules re things like the stockpile energy bug, upgrades in the workshop, crawler upgrades etc ??

I only ask since games I am in differ on these points and any variation is ok as long as EVERYONE knows up front

[Phobos]

I think we should go with the Apolyton tourney rules.
They prevent "cheating" and almost everyone knows about them.
I also think it would be a good idea to post the rules on the turn tracking thread so there wont be any confusion later when the game starts.

[EZRhino]

Ahhh... Im back. Sorry guys but a long succesion of parties and other things prevented me from responding more promptly. If I may make two suggestions:
AI level trancend and if there is going to be six human players I do not think allowing aliens would be fair.
I prefer blind tech, but Im flexible.
Ill be Deidruh.
So you gonna host chet??

[Zulu_Mzulu]

WW4 is a good name.

Good point re the rules. There are a good set of rules at

http://www.planetacol.com/rules.html

Probably blasphemy in this forum but these are the rules
I've played in the past.

I'd suggest we play:

B1a, B2a, B3a and B4a in settings.

Clearly there is no CMN, so we're on trust where these things are concerned. Personally if I'm sure there's cheating going on, I just drop and it usually becomes obvious when someone is.

I'm not familiar with the Apolyton tourney rules but if you point me in the right place we can compare and iron out any differences.

Very flexible on all this so any recommendations welcome.

Zulu

[Zulu_Mzulu]

Update:

AI Transcend unless anyone objects.

Prefer directed research but what do others think?

Who's Diedruh?

We have five. Aliens are still in at the mo but again what do others think?

Flubber's going to hold passwords.

We play Apolyton tourney rules.

Start this pm

Zulu

[Zulu_Mzulu]

EZRhino - Giaia

AI - Transcend atm

Aliens still in by popular request atm.

Research still directed atm
