Where should Iron Civer PBEM Tournament discussions take place

[Rommel2D]

The problem: there is too much traffic with game threads in the PBEM forum- few people notice new discussion threads because they on the second or third page within 24 hours.

What is the best method to deal with this? When making a choice in the poll, keep in mind that wherever a discussion ends up residing, it can be advertised with links in any other appropriate forum...

[Rommel2D]

So far it looks like "anything but #6" has an insurmountable lead...

[McMeadows]

I see a tie...

[sabrewolf]

2nd option sounds best (the spanish PBEMers have it like that), but who would do the work?

because of that issue i voted MP forum. it's virtually dead and could be misused for such discussions. the only problem is that not many PBEM-interested people will check that forum...

[sabrewolf]

oh, another idea would be to have a PBEM main forum and a PBEM tracker subforum (again, like the castellanos have).

after a game is set up, the players are found and the tracking posts start, the thread gets moved to the tracker subforum (similar as gramphos moves from civ3-creation to civ3-files).

i'd volunteer to do this work. people would just have to send me (and/or someone else) a PM and the thread would be moved.

how does that sound?

I like number two


so too I also like what S.Wolf is suggesting
also willing to assist in this it would be good to see some order in the chaos
also able to commit some time to such a venture

[sabrewolf]

if rommel agrees, i'll ask markos if it's possible.

[Rommel2D]

That sounds like the best solution if its doable.

[sabrewolf]

ok, i've PMed the "Grand Lord of Apolyton, Owner of all this land as far as the eye can see"


this would be a great improvement for the apolyton PBEM faction and would solve this polls issue instantaniously

we could ask for replacements without having to bump the thread ever 4 hours. finding that 4th player suddenly isn't that hard and the PBEM-forum may even be bookmarked directly by some

[Arnelos]

Here. I actually look in here.

[bongo]

sabrewolf, excellent idea

I voted for the strategy forum but your idea is better

[sabrewolf]

he read the PM, but no answer yet

EXCELLENT!

I have been thinking for sometime that we need an approach like this.

[Soltz]

Ditto.

'New game' threads seem to get lost fast.

[sabrewolf]

despite the support and markos having read both PMs, i havn't heard anything - not even a simple "no"

a bit discouraging, but i'm still hoping that he's considering and evaluating and got it on the todo-list
