  • Guiness 2-a-day

    Okay, this is the formation thread for the Guiness 2-a-day, named in honor of our favorite WMD, Paddy. It begins with the same concept as 6p2ad started by Alexman:

    Each Player Must Play During Their Slot Every Weekday.

    What is a slot? It's a 2 hour time frame in the morning and the evening, that each player plays during - ie, 6am-8am and 6pm-8pm. You play 2 turns a day.

    In order to join this game, you MUST commit to playing in your slot almost every day. Any player who does not make at least 8 slots in which his or her turn was present at the beginning of the turn (or 80% of the times in which it was) will be put on probation, and 3 such weeks in a month will be grounds for immediate replacement. In addition, 2 weeks of less than 50% of slots will also be grounds for replacement. Slots on the weekend do not count for this rule, although we expect you to try to play the turns on the weekend as well. The expectation is to have 10-12 turns per week overall.

    Of course, we understand vacations and personal problems; if you post and let us know what's going on, we'll be understanding. We just want to make it clear that we intend to make this game fast-moving, expecting to finish in a few months rather than years.

    The Slots: (All times Eastern US, then GMT)
    Code:
    A: EST 12-2  (GMT 7-9)   
    B: EST 2-4   (GMT 9-11)  
    C: EST 4-6   (GMT 11-1)  
    D: EST 6-8   (GMT 1-3)   Snoopy369     snoopy369 ta yahoo
    E: EST 8-10  (GMT 3-5)   
    F: EST 10-12 (GMT 5-7)
    The settings:

    We should discuss them. I suggest a pangea, 70% water, raging barbs, middle of the road water/age, random civs. Anyone?

    And for Paddy, the reason for the name of this thread:

    One suggestion Moonbars already made: AU Mod rules ... any thoughts?

      I would like to join. Most of my current PBEMs are moving to slow for me, and if I am in one moving this fast I probably won't join any new ones either. I can play 9-11EST everyday no problem. Even on days when I work the most I work from 11:30am-10pm, with 15-20 minutes travel time on either end and thus feel up to making this commitment.

      EDIT: ANd I would be positively elated if we used the AU mod

        lol, that's a lot of work ...

        We'd be happy to have you join, with the caveat that Moonbars also plays that slot in the OneArmed Bandits game (that this evolved from). If he can only play this slot, and wants to play here (which I figure he probably does), he gets it first...

        I should post here that I'm more or less giving priority to folks in OneArmed Bandits first. Please post if you're interested but not in that game (particularly in C and E, which are apparently hard to fill slots). But, there are no guaranteed slots yet, as nobody's specifically said they'd like to join (as of this post).

        Also, if enough people post here, we can start a second game. Especially if the somewhat hard to fill B slot is already full

          I can probably do either E or F, though if it's E it will probably be up to half an hour late once a week in the PM.

            I am good for E or F... but only want to join in if it's with the AU Mod.

                Moon and Punk, which slot do you prefer? (Moon- do you prefer A to B? Punk, do you prefer F to B?)

                  happy with either slot B or C

                  ok here it comes, my only hassle....
                  I am on call with my work
                  so that means some days I need to drop everything and go
                  this has not caused to many problems with games
                  especially as we can sort most issues out relatively fast and be back on line in a matter of 2-3 hours

                    Uh, Paddy, I don;t think anybody is really all too worried about your participation level.

                          I firmly believe that Paddy has taken you all down a path of madness never to return.

                          (to be honest - I even gave this some consideration. )
                          Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.
