Trial by Trait - Team PBEM

[MrWhereItsAt]

Apologies for my side of the delays - first the laptop was being fixed all weekend, and now the Internet has been cut off. I have Civ and its various patches installed now though, so I hope to play within 12 hours of getting the save most times until the Net is reconnected again.

Onwards to Aqualung.

By the way, what do you classify as 'slow' about the game? We DID have a slow start due to some confusions, but with the exception of right now things are going about as fast as is possible - 1.5-2 days between turns. How could we go much faster?

Sorry about that delay.

You're right of course, sorry - no offence intended to anyone. I've got a few other 4-player games that are going at well over a turn a day, so comparing to a 6-player game is a bit unfair. I'm a bit of a PBEM newbie, so I claim ignorance as my excuse

I meant no criticism, I was just a little puzzled, is all. Are those other games perchance with players around Oz/NZ, or are they as scattered as we are here?

None taken

A mixture....my Iron Civer game is moving ultra quickly because we're all within 3 hours of each other, which allows you to put in the odd super-session. But I do have a couple with players from all over the globe. It seems the main factor, not surprisingly, is number of players. Plus you all have to be reasonably vigilant.....the ability to check twice a day makes a big difference, though I recognise that's not possible with many players.

You wouldn't believe how often I can check during the day.... only to have saves turn up shortly after I go to bed!

I guess that's what you get for being one of the first in the world to see the new millenium!

Are you on the North island or South island? I drove around the South island a few years ago, but didn't have time for the North. It was just magic! Unbelievable variety of countryside for such a small landmass.

Turn off to MrWhereItsAt.

Sorry for causing another delay... I didn't get a email notification of the new posts.

[MrWhereItsAt]

I'm sure none of us mind - especially since I kept it moving so fast!

3650BC to Aqualung (who should be awake at this time, hopefully)

[Aqualung71]

My turn to cause a delay. Sorry chaps, went away for the weekend and neglected to notify you. My bad!

On to Krill

[Krill]

hey, I'll go one better: I'll be gone from thursday afternoon until early sunday morning.

And there is a very good reason that I have the highest score...
