Challenge WWII Pacific Poly vs CFC

[LouLong]

Hi guys,

I am at CFC and would like to organize a small challenge between some of your experienced players and one of ours (not me BTW ).

We have a "god-like" player (fast and reliable of course) for Japan in the WWII Pacific conquest and I think it would be interesting (and fun) if 2 to 4 of your main players could try to beat him (we will figure the details precisely like the number of ally players after (and if) you agree).

I have played that scenario a few times myself with either Japan or Allies winning so I think it could be a fair game. But you can disagree of course.

Of course if some of you are interested they would have to "not be" CFC players too and if possible a part of your core players team since they would represent Apolyton.

And this way we could have a common event.

The maximum number of turns is 50 but usually the game is won around turn 20, so it would last less than a month with a one-turn per day game.

Ideas, signing in, questions all welcome.

Come on, is nobody interested in such a PBEM and the challenge ?

The event will be held in both places with spoiler threads and you can choose a referee.

We just want to meet 3 or 4 players from Apolyton for the US, China, Commonwealth and maybe the Dutch (who can be played by another ally player).

I would be happy to take on CFC's "god-like" player. I am new to PBEMs, though, so perhaps not 'poly's best representative. Anyone else want to help?

I do have one condition though: If someone from CFC tells me to "READ THE FAQ" I will quit on the spot.

[LouLong]

Arghh ! I knew there were not only cowards at Apolyton !
Thanks Theseus (just hope you don't play at CFC as well ?).

If you could gather a team around you it would be even better. Godlike maybe I exaggerated a bit but he is definitely a challenge

You won't be asked to read the whole FAQ but talks will be made to agree on a common set of rules prior to the start.

[jshelr]

count me in if needed. first turn to America ? he, he.

[GodKing]

Sure, I will be happy to join in. Not one of the best, but should do in a pinch. Send me a PM or email. BTW, I am not picky, any one of the allies will work for me.

I only have 4 games going on now, so a 5th will be welcome.

[Paddy]

Thanks for the challenge

edit: The Game Order - for the record

[Rommel2D]

Hmmm, who is more the 'god-like' rep of Apolyton? GodKing, or the omnipresent Deity, Paddy?

[Paddy]

Paddy is not the one - me just a player

see Jet Li for that





and I should be omnipresent thanks be to MG and DQ

[LouLong]

Ok, sorry for the delay as we had some issues at CFC selecting the player lol

Paddy the Scot, Godking, jshelr and Theseus, would you please send me a mail a mantaray AT club-internet DOT fr, so that I get your mails. Preferably when you have decided among yourselves who plays what allied civ.
Please give me your Apolyton nicknames as well (otherwise I might not get who is who !).



We will have a thread at CFC for it and one here as well (maybe this one). Since it is a challenge between two communities, we will host a spoiler thread as well for the benefit of all (lurkers, members not playing in it). Could be nice if you did the same here.

I only need your word you won't be checking it and I give you mine our player won't look at yours.

We will use the scenario file with a simple modification where Japan plays first. Otherwise there are always problems with the Dutch not being able to play the first turn, except if you have found a way out of that problem.

I will submit the biq for you to check.

[jshelr]

Took advantage of being next to read this and elected T the captain. Ball in his court. I just don't want to be interred in a concentration camp for the whole 50 turns.

At least i've got the right avatar for this game

[Theseus]

I have to run out right now, but will address this later this evening.

History WILL repeat itself.

[Theseus]

Paddy and Godking, can you please PM me your email addresses [edit: Russ already did so]? I will forward the lot on to LouLong when we are ready.

LL, is there a thread at CFC we can read to catch up on what you all have developed thus far? Or if you have a FAQ developed, we'd be happy with that.

To be honest, I haven't played the WW2 scenario since C3C first came out... I don't even remember what allied civs are represented in this scenario.

[Theseus]

Ummm, I am a bit confused... I just opened the scenario to familiarize myself with it, and the only non-Japanese choices are the US, China, and the Commonwealth. So how are four of us supposed to play?

[Theseus]

Oh, and one more thing, LL: Knowing that he is active at CFC as well as here, I would hope that I am safe in assuming that your "god-like" player is not AESON??!!
