Sign up for the Diplomatic Front IX....

[The Capo]

Hey, my name is Capo. I know I am not the biggest and baddest fish in the sea, but I am one of the most fiesty and proud fish in the sea, and while that may not count for a lot, it makes for a fun opponent/partner (depends on outlook) in a diplogame.

Diplogame 7 (which has yet to decide its future) so far has been pretty much a bust, diplogame 8 was a complete disorganized waste of time and effort.

What I am trying to do is get a diplogame rolling under the following circumstances:

1) Double production and single movement.
2) Minimum of one *good* post after each session.
3) Two hour sessions, once to twice a week.
4) Large World Map.
5) Predetermined Civs, colors and names, etc.
6) A set rule base.

I would like to begin play in a week, the week should be spent on actual preparation and thought process. We need to compile seven players, not necissarily the best, but guys that are not going to start trouble and realize that this is just a game, that is for fun.

So I would like to invite anyone who thinks they would fit the bill transcribed above to respond in this thread.

Thank you, and Good Hunting.

I'll join this. But I would also like to suggest those anonymous names that you suggested before Capo.

[The Capo]

By anonymous, I mean we would know who we were playing, we just wouldn't know which tribe they were, this may get hard to accomplish, especially with posts (people would need to have differant posting names) also the style of play and posts may be a give away too.

[brocher]

would need to know days of play & times before i can commit myself, im pacific time zone

[pariah6]

I am interested, it will be my first diplo game. so it would be interesting

I'm interested and this would be my first diplo game too, really. But, I understand how it's done, and I'm willing to put the time in.

Let me know the times we'll be playing before a actually commit myself to it though. I'm CDT.

Also, I'm not sure I understand the concept of anonymous. How would we post anything useful without giving away what civ we were? Unless of course, we never actually refered to our civ and refered to other civs only by their leaders??? Maybe I'm way off base anyway.

Let me know.

Okay, as far as the anonymous thing goes, I think I am going to drop that since it is not worth the trouble, I had planned on everyone making seperate names here on the boards than their normal one, but that is not going to work out good, so forget about that part.

As for the game itself, I created a world map, it is very realistic, and very big. Bigger than the normal map, a few locations have changed some of the terrain is tougher and has more growth on it (ie forests, jungles etc.)

We will try to play around 6-7 eastern time until around 9-10 eastern time depending on many things.

The days we are hoping for are Tuesday or Wednesday or both. But I can't really make a decision until everyone puts their two cents in as to the best days and times.

Here is what we need out of the players themselves:

1) Never quit no matter how angry you get at a civ.
2) Always be fair and thoughtful, no grudges please this is for fun.
3) This is not a league game, so there is NO VICTOR, no matter what the game score reads there is no winner in this game, no matter who reaches A.C. first, this game is for fun.
4) If you know you will be unable to make a certain date or time, FIND A SUB, if you do not find a sub then your sub will be my friend and yours Mr. AI.

As for playing on my created map, we can decide on that later, I already sent it to one person to look over and make suggestions, most likely it will change a bit, but it may not even be used, so we will have to wait and see.

The deadline for this to begin is in ten days, but I hope we can get it going before then and in good order.

So if you want in, please respond on this thread.

Ok, I don't like the idea of a map anyone makes themselves, plus I don't want already picked out starting posistions. It gives anyone too much of an advantage... just go with the original world map, and random posistions and resources.

No, I like his map, but we will have it on Random starts.

[hydey]

Whatever you do make sure all players have the brain capacity to post if they are unavailable unlike those in diplo VI

[Lor Ty]

your map or the game's, Capo. I really don't care, but I want 2x1x and chatting from start(Diplo 8 was really boring without it). I would like to play on the weekends the first 2 weeks and then after that anytime would be great. There, that's my 2 cents, or was it 3(maybe 4)?

[The Capo]

Here is the deal, we cannot possibly set up a time if we don't know when everyone is open to play.

So, in order to fix the situation up here, everyone who is interested in playing this to the finish, and who think they can put up intertaining and contraversial (in some cases) posts that will make sense then this is where we want you.

But in order for us to set this up as quick as we can, we need anyone who wants to play to simply post the THREE EARLIEST times and dates they can play in this game. This requires that you can play at least two hours of civ for the session you are mentioning, and please state what time zone you are in so that we can correlate everything properly, this will end up being the quickest and smoothest running diplogame ever if everything is played to a T, so that is all.

THREE EARLIEST TIMES AND DATES PLEASE, THANK YOU!
