Internal PBEM Game #3 - anything goes

[GodKing]

count me as an alternate again....
If instead of a pbem, but something where whe can all sit down on a saturday or somethign and play an internet game or something - the problem I have with pbem is the god awfull long time it takes to play a game.

im just the opposite

my lifestyle doesnt guarantee i can sit down and play for a few hours straight, so PBEM fits in perfectly. I can play every 5 minutes i have free. Thats often enough. I barely ever get Saturday's with hours available to me.

Arnelos, why not make it a game that is up to 8 players?

Ok, changed the following:

- My civ is now Greece
- Temperature set to Temperate/Normal
- Climate set to Temperate/Normal
- Planet Age set to 4 Billion Year

Concerning Customization, I'm now thinking that the only thing we should customize are leader titles. Color and civname are pretty cool for each of the civs we're already playing and the most I'd do is make sure each of us got the primary color for our civ (Greece = neon green, Germany = blue, Carthage = Russian tan, Japan = rust, Egypt = yellow). If someone has a problem with that, speak up now.

As for leader names, they really should be our poster names for easy recognition.

As for leader titles, however... people can have some fun if they want to

So give me customized leader names if you want. If not, please post that you don't want them. I'll start the game once everyone's replied to that.

Let me know if you have any problems with the map settings, as I'm not particularly attached to them (just using defaults because it's most likely to be fairly reasonable that way).

It's a PBEM game and I'd like to keep it moving... but I guess we could do that.

Anyone who wants to join beyond the 5 players listed, PLEASE post here... if we have interest, we can include people.

EDIT: E_T, when I first posted this message, I accidentially hit 'edit' on your post rather than 'quote' and it tacked my wording onto the end of your message rather than creating a post of my own quoting yours (becuase I failed to note the lack of quote tags ). It's fixed now

The #1 game is starting a little slow, as Aidun is overseas. I'd be happy to play another one.

I'm interested in the Celts and Scandavians.

[astrologix]

Arnelos, astrologix and Shogun are good for me.

[OliverFA]

I think I can go with that Cleopatra pic. Let's say she represents me in all my relations with neighbour countries

The default egyptians are ok for me

[Togas]

I'm starting to warm up to this idea. I can play a turn a day and so long as this game stays secondary to our team game, I think I can manage.

I'm interested in Rome. Caesar Togas, of course.

[Arnelos]

Updated.

- Caesar Togas added (Rome)
- Astrologix will be known as the Shogun of Japan
- Arnelos will be known as the Archon of Greece

We now have 6 players. If we don't get anyone else to join, I'm in favor of a small map with 6 players.

I knew I could could on E_T to do something out of the ordinary.

[astrologix]

Arnelos,

With 6 players in, I suggest to choose a standard map. Otherwise, IMHO, it'll be a bit crowded.

[OliverFA]

Arnelos, just a bit correction. My addres is oliverfa@arrakis.es, not ex

[Hot Mustard]

I have made my choices:

Civ: Celts
Name: High Druid Tharalon
