Double Blind

[Kloreep]

Wow, I got my first pick. Wasn't expecting that.

Arabs aren't too bad, Rommel. Decent UU, and the traits are fairly solid, especially Rel.

yeh ... i'm going to have some interesting fun with russia ^^ i was guessing it to be the "safe pick but i don't really want it" for #1 for others, but am happy enough with it ^^

[Rommel2D]

Arabia was an easy #4 pick for me, well above the 5-8 group, but they aren't ag. I'm the only one who didn't get one of my top 3- let me have the Aztecs and I'll give everyone an extra restart...

[Rommel2D]

I'm proposing:
Rommel GMT15-18 and 3-6
Snoopy [GMT-6]
Con GMT 3-
Mickeyj [GMT]
Kloreep [GMT-5]
Beta 22-4

Any tweaks?

Yeah, but I'm getting sick of reading all those Apolytoners whinging about the occassional fluke where the tulip squashes the elephant...

um Beta-me-Conmcb makes more sense to me based on ... well, we have that order in other games. And that way Beta can send me one email with several saves ^^

But if you breaking up our trio makes sense that's cool too. ^^

We need to maintain the cyber integrity of the integrated Beta-SnoopDog-con network.

That is the order and that is the way IT has to be done to maintain the system stability of the entire PBEM network

It looks like Beta stops posting a couple hours before I go to bed, while you two seem to be up well after that. It'd be a shame to lose a few turns a week just because you guys can't get enough Menage-a-trois action from your other games...

As soon as I have everone's Pangaea Pancakes box tops, I'll get this one rolling... ;-)

Ok - this I do not understand at all. It looks like a combo of time zones and GMT play times. We need to use one or the other to set the rotation.

If Mickeyj is GMT - and he is playing anytime during normal waking hours (which would make him say 17 - 23 gmt) - he should be playing before all the North Americans.

And unless anyone is playing very weird hours - east to west in North America has proven to be very effective. I think Kloreep is the same time zone as me - and I only stay up until 11pm on weeknights - so if he stays up later - he should come after me.

Rommel - not sure where you are?

[Kloreep]

I should come after Beta.

[snoopy369]

Rommel, i'm rarely up after 12am CT, although sometimes. I most often play my turn in the AM (7am CT) or in the mid evening (6pm CT). Final Fantasy XI affects my playtimes somewhat (and i try to play turns both before and after the game, but you can't alt-tab from it and i don't yet have a second computer at hand...)

All i know is that Me-Beta-Conmcb play our turns quite accurately in order. ^^

[Rommel2D]

Anyone who gave an availability time has it listed- everyone else has their time zone listed. Mickeyj is GMT so he comes after the last American player (con). I did searches on the other players and Kloreep has not been posting after early evening hours, so I put him before Beta. I put myself after Beta because I'm usually up just a couple hours later. Both Snoopy and con have had alot of early morning posts this week, so I put them after me.

So snoopy, even though you've been posting at 1-2-3 AM all this week, that's not normal? 7AM and 6PM CST don't easily snap into the schedule. The rotation I suggested is Beta-Snoop-Con as suggested previously, with myself slipped in with my fellow CDTers where it seems to make the most sense. Now you're saying the holy trinity must be Snoop-Beta-Con in that order? Somebody make up their mind

Kloreep's posts seem to rarely go past 2AM GMT, which is why I put Beta with a 4AM GMT time-frame after. Beta should go before Kloreep, though? That would dilute the Triple Dip even further...

The arrangement listed above is east-west by time zones. I'll put Kloreep after Beta if Klor is usually available later. What would be the preferred order for us mid-westerners? Snoop-Con-Rommel? I'm only playing turns after midnight (6AM GMT) once or twice a week, and you guys seem to be up alot after that...
