iS THIS game still running? Anyone here thinks the new graphics look cheesy? Especially the purple sad face....

[MacUser]

Yeah, what happened to the game? the last time that I saw it was Oct 9!

[Superstar]

Did someone post it to Kengel?
I think he's on holiday and so the game should have been sent to me

Did someone post it to Kengel?

[Makeo]

I have it but not from zeebo who is the person before me. Should I play zeebo's and my turn as well?

[Superstar]

yes, It's been so long now I think it's justified

[kengel]

Hi, I am back from holiday.
Seems, I didn´t miss much of the game, although I hoped it has gone on...
Whats the actual stand? has Makeo posted it already?
I think, this is a typical case for the new rule I sent to you in the PBEM mail #6, so I also think Makeo should do his and the turn of zeebo and post it on to me.

Here is the PBEM mail #6 I sent to you already per email, just to archieve it here...

"After the reply I got for my suggestion to post the game to the next two
players I think the rule is accepted by all, at least there was nobody
protesting against it (I think some of you already practize it).
So I declare it as a new rule in our PBEM game!
Well, what does it mean in detail?

- Every player post his turn to the next two following players (lets call
them "A" and "B")

- The second next player (B) may continue the game, if he did not get the
move from the player before (A) till next day. That gives A two chances to
move: the regular move on the same day he gets the file, and a second
chance till 24h after that.

- If B continues the game, he has to do the CTRL + N press instead of player A, cause otherwise AI would do a lot of chaos to the civ of A.

Exceptions:

- If player A encounters a key situation which will heavily influence the future game play, player A may do a "veto" as soon as he is back. The game will be reset to his turn.

- If for some reason it is not the fault of player A that he missed his turn (email error, the subbing player slept or whatever), the game will be reset to this turn if A wishes so.

I hope, this is the best compromise. The exceptions are to avoid that players loose interest in the game cause of one turn they were not able tomove (perhaps, some barbs captured the capital or it is anarchy again after democracy... ). Well, all that may be discussed further if anyone of you guys do not agree to that, I do not wanna be some kind of dictatoric... "

Could everyone please post to my normal email account mywon1@student.monash.edu.au ...

I thought I might be the one holding up the game by not checking my hotmail account. Whew... lucky there was no game in my hotmail account.

Since Zeebo and Makeo seems not to be online for days now, I asked MacUser for his move and he sent it to me. If both of them will not respond today till 17.00 GMT, I will continue the game by Ctrl-N moving for Zeebo and Makeo. I think, this game is sticking long enough now, I hope it is in the consense of you all.

Makeo sent me email, he will be busy for about two weeks, and asked me for subbing him; I will do so.
Best regards

since about three weeks I didn't get any message from zeebo. Since he
seems to be not availible for a longer time now, I decided to sub him
preliminary so that the game can go on a little bit faster now.

Hope, this is in agreement to all; if not, please reply me.

PBEM MAIL #7

Hi all,

it is time for a new PBEM mail letter!

The last some weeks the game runs pretty well... Good work guys!
Thanx to all for your patience and continuity, I enjoy it! :-)


Well, this are the topics, a bad one and a good one:
1. Makeo has left the game!!!
I had a chat with him two days ago, and he told me he is doin his exam at the moment and then goin to the states, sadly not be able to play further... So he allowed me to give his civ to someone else. The last two or three weeks I subbed for him and could continue till a new player joins.
The time schedule for this move would be somewhere between 5.00 EST and 12.00 EST, thats 10.00 GMT - 17.00 GMT. I thought first on pastieman, the brother of superstar, but to my knowledge he cannot do it during this time. The next one in order should be Eddy (see Apolyton thread), I sent email to him if he is interested to join.
If anyone of you knows any player who could be interested to join, let me know!
2. A chance for diplomacy?
You know, the big problem in the PBEM game is the diplomacy. Principally it is possible to make diplomatic contacts with all the interesting things, the other diplomatic partner just needs to be online! And due to the time scheduling, this is sometimes pretty difficult...
The good news is, up to now I have two PCs and on both of them I can run the game. So if two of you wanna get diplomatic contact but cannot meet online, I offer to do it for you. In detail this means, you and your partner agree per email what you wanna xchange & trade, and then you contact me somehow and I will do the diplomatics for you on the both PCs.
Additionally, to avoid any hic hac with AI diplomatics, tune your attitude to all other leaders to either adoring (if you wanna keep peace with them) or fuming (if you wanna war with them).

Thats all!
Now I wish you all good luck and a lot of fun goin on!
