[Jonny]

I've never been in a PBEM game before, but I'd like to join in this one... that is, if you don't mind some fresh blood in your game.

[marcuspeddle]

Everyone has to start sometime so newbies are welcome. ^^ The important thing is how often you can post. Once a day? Or once every two days?

[Jonny]

I should be able to play at least once a day, probably more on weekends. Although the upcoming Christmas holiday may prevent me from playing as often as normal, but shouldn't (hopefully) be too much of an issue.

[marcuspeddle]

That's good news.
Which civ would you like to be?

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Id like to play but cant promise everyday until after the New Year.

If Im of use to you Ill take Rome

[marcuspeddle]

No doubt everyone will be busy until after the New Year. Welcome aboard!

[Paddy]

wow, pbem... looks like fun.... can I play too please

then you probably heard that I have been unreliable lately

[Jonny]

I'll take Persia.

[snoopy369]

Hmm, I'd like to try the Iroquois, if you don't mind this turning into a game of the old guard ...

[snoopy369]

Oh, and do you intend type of land (pangea/islands) and size of land (small/large) to be random as well? I suggest setting those down first, as they affect the game rather more than the others ... but I'll play either way

[marcuspeddle]

Yes, I would like random lands. And does anybody really want culture flipping? I'd prefer to turn it off.
Paddy, you're welcome to play. ^^ What civ would you like?

[snoopy369]

Hmm. I'd probably prefer culture flipping on, but it's not a big deal - happens so rarely in MP/PBEM games anyhow that it's a non-issue as far as i'm concerned, like cultural victories ...

[marcuspeddle]

It's a bit of a nuisance in another PBEM I play. One city keeps flipping to my ally even after I build improvements. When he gives the city back I have to start all over again.

[snoopy369]

Well, it's a strategic complication. But, like I said, it's not a big deal to me.

OTOH, it's generally against PBEM etiquette to gift cities to allies. But that's irrelevant to the case at hand
