Challenge WWII Pacific Poly vs CFC

[Paddy]

so who is the Cfc player ?

why the silly threats earlier?

when will we see your rules that you want?

emailed LL my email address
pm'd Theseus as well as requested

ok so of us - who will play who

happy to go with the flow
also happy to play Australia - The Commonwealth

The player is Rcoutme with Eric_A as technical advisor replacement player and strategist (he and Dogboy are actually our "gods" in that game but could not commit fully to this game as intended so they will advise but another player volunteered to do the actual playing).

Silly threats ? You mean boasting ? Nothing serious, just for the fun of the challenge.

I got Paddy the Scot's e-mail but not the others.

About rules : special for this one we wish to have no city razing (except accidently when capturing a 1 pop city) since there are no settlers. On the other hand selling all the improvements of a city is perfectly allowed.
That's the first inter-site challenge I set up so I might forget a few things so don't hesitate telling me as you are part of it now.

Not much more apart for the standard list of exploits to avoid which from what I have seen is not too different at Poly and CFC. In case you can choose a non-player referee to the game with whom I can discuss would one problem arise.

@ Theseus : since it is a challenge, it is better all civs are taken by AI so it also includes Netherlands who are weak but important (warfare in Indonesia + lots of Victory Locations + lots of resources to protect ...).

And no it is not Aeson (I haven't even met that player).

When we start we will host the "private" spoiler thread. Will you have one also ?

[Theseus]

Ummm... LL, lemme get this straight... you threw down the challenge without actually having a CFC player in place??

[ChrisiusMaximus]

yes he did but thats just his way, Hi Lou chrisius here

I will happily assist you as the Poly ref Lou if you like and if thats OK with the Poly team ??

No worries if not

[LouLong]

Hi Chrisius, as far as I am concerned it is a good idea since you are at both places.

Yes, it is my way lol. You always have to get one opponent first besides I knew there was interest. Just these people could eventually not commit to that.

Organizing a new event always takes some time in the making but I hope it will be a success and other such events can take place.

[Theseus]

Chrisius is fine as a ref for me.

[Paddy]

so when do we start?

[Theseus]

Well, first, don't we at 'poly have to choose which civs we each want to play?

[LouLong]

Yes, you do then send me your e-mails telling me what civ you have (I have just Paddy's right now).

so what nations do we want to have?

[joncnunn]

I would be happy to occansionly consult with any and all allies if screen shots are placed on a private team board.

(Are the US, UK, and Dutch allowed to show each other their saves?)

[Theseus]

I'll take the US, I guess... although I am still feeling new to PBEMs, and rusty on the Conquest, so if someone else really ants it, that is fine with me.

Poly Team

Theseus - America
GodKing -
Jshelr -
Paddy -

available: China, Commonwealth, Dutch

[jshelr]

i knew i would end up in a concentration camp for the whole 50 turns.

T -- the first turns are very important in this scenario

[GodKing]

I will take whomever. Sent my email to theseus per his request. It is godking ta prodigy dot net.

I haven't played this since it came out also. Will probably play a single player jsut to refresh myself this weekend. All I remember is that the first 5 turns usually determine who will win. Also, we can mod in and allow settlers if you want. (huge benifit to japan IIRC).
