OCC succession game - anyone interested?

[Daddy-O]

I'd prefer a random map, but it doesn't really matter.

rosters:
MGE

1.
2.
3. kcbob (like skrobism, I might not do too much damage here.
4.
5.

2.42

1.
2.
3. skrobism
4.
5.

Caligastia, which version do you have? If you have the multi-player version you can play on gigamaps; if you have the single-player version you can't play on gigamaps.

I suggest a random 2.42 game and a gigaworld MGE game. Everyone, please let me know which of the two you want to be in if you haven't already posted that information. You can also apply for both games, but if there are too many players I may not be able to actually let you play in both games.

3. kcbob (like skrobism, I might not do too much damage here.

For the MGE : Paul, I suggest that you lead us all, as you are the number one of OCC.
1. Paul ?
2. Smash
3. Kcbob (ready to do some damage ?)
4. Julius (ready to finish it off !)
5. Scouse ?

If everyone agrees, I will send tomorrow the maxiworld map to Paul and let him start the game. It should be much faster than one with ICS anyway.

Ok I like the maxi map thing.
Will we have an edited location or will be searching?

Huts,huts,and more huts!remember to save....


JB-I pm-ed you about the chess match.Its all forced anyway.

[Paul]

Julius, that sounds good to me. So if it's also ok with SG we can get the MGE game started as the Japanese on the gigamap.

For 2.42 we have the following players:
1. Paul
2. Hueij
3. Skrobism
4. Caligastia ? ( if you have v2.42 )
5. ? ( anyone interested ? )

[Scouse Gits]

I'm happy with slot 5 on MP - gigaworld.

If there are no other takers I could take slot 5 on 2.42 - but I certainly don't want to crowd anyone out.

[shhh] I shall be playing these from work so will send my work e-mail to the preceding player(s) [/shhh]

Paul,

Once we get the rosters filled or finalized, should we start 2 different threads to ease confusion?

[kcbob]

That makes sense to me. I would also like to suggest that the very first post in those threads (and for any new succession games) list the roster complete with email addresses.

good idea. Here's my email

For 2.42 we have the following players:
1. Paul
2. Hueij
3. Skrobism - email: skrobism@address.com
4. Caligastia ? ( if you have v2.42 )
5. ? ( anyone interested ? )

Thank you for the info Paul.
Unfortunately I have never played an OCC. I still have trouble with many cities as well

[Julius Brenzaida]

I will leave Paul with the difficult decisions by simply sending him the maxiworld map. He might either start it with random locations where we probably can get as many huts as we dream and have also the pleasure to slightly discover where the hell we are or choose to play with the starting locations. In this case, I propose the Japanese with the Russians, Germans, Egyptians, Carthaginians, Chinese, and Sioux. But maybe this set up will prove too difficult to play and shall be left as a challenge, not a sucession game ! Personnaly, I would finally prefer the random start one. In this case, the tribe we play with is up to Paul, too.
In any way, Paul, please respect the special resources as they are set. I’ve made great efforts to maximize them.

Smash, thanks for the post about the chessgame. But you’d better e-mail me, cause I seldom read my private messages (unless I am told I have one, of course). Yes, it is all forced. And I think it’s mate one move later now because I didn’t accept the rook sacrifice ! As work has started again, I tried to spend less time on the game (boy if it can be addictive this postal chess !) and didn’t even look at the move you suggested. You’re probably right, but as the maneuver Qe3/Rf4 and then mate on the G or H file was very easy I went to it straight away. And I think, if my memory doesn’t betray me that it was the 1st mate that I learned. In French, it’s the “mat de l’escalier”, the mate of the stairway. Maybe that I was childishly fond of it and it helped me to overlook other moves.
By the way how is your game in the Civ Fanatic forum going. Has it ended by now ? You seemed to have a very healthy position as black in a Sozin-Najdorf against an way too aggressive opponent that was pushing forward many kingside pawns very early. But the last time I care to check, it was before move 20 …

I won that game easily although my opponent resigned a little pre-maturely.I have another going against a fella from Germany that seems to know what he is doing.I'm all cramped in in a typical French defense fashion.Pawn up, but I'm starting to dislike my position.

[Paul]

I got the mail from Julius. I just got home and have to go to bed now. I'll start the game tomorrow evening (Euro time). I'll also start a new thread where we can post our game stories and updates.

I assume you all want to use the email address in your profile unless you post a different address. Smash, you don't have an email address in your profile, so please let me know what your address is.
