Newbie Seeks PBeM Conquests

[snakegurl]

Sometimes I win at monarch level.

Any games out there ?

[Sixpack]

I'm probably the same level and looking for a game too.

[snakegurl]

Maybe if some others wandered by, we could start a game of our own. Which civ interests you ?.... I fancy those Panzers if I last long enough.

i'll step in, too. i'm not the greatest, though. only playing my first few pbems now.

[Sixpack]

come on let`s play

[Yamamoto]

i could be in too... what kind of game? i am new to pbem

[self biased]

seeing as this is snakegurl's show, she's got to decide how many players, what difficulty settings and whatnot. i suggest everyone find the ettiquette guide and read it.

[snakegurl]

The etiquette guide should be found as the subject :
"The PBEM Info Thread" in this forum. Sorry I tried to copy the link but couldnt.

We seem to have five people interested, so I reckon that's enough unless anyone else signs on in the meantime, in which case they would be welcome.
If anyone is up for it then maybe you should say so and also mention the civ you would prefer.
I'd prefer the Germans.
In the meantime i'll mug up on what needs to be done to get this moving.
I suggest that each person has a day to get their move done, I can only get my turns done in the evening and I live in the UK. I guess anyone else who is working is similarly constrained.
If anyone has any experience/suggestions about the play mechanics then please say so.

[Sixpack]

My brother has been playing PBEM's for a while. Normally the turn order is organised by time zones. For us that would be:

snakegurl, GMT, Germans
Yamamoto, GMT,
selfbiased, GMT-5 (allthough Poland should be GMT+2)
sixpack, GMT+1, Hittites

4 people should allow for a good paced game. Maybe 1 more for the extra fun.
Small map, temperate, 5 billion years, Pangea should
work.

[snakegurl]

Sounds good to me, Sixpack.

If we have difficulty level =, say, Monarch then anyone interested please confirm your civ and pm me your email address then we can get started.

I take it that we don't include AI civs unless anyone posts a good reason to the contrary.

[Soltz]

With more 'real' people in the game, there's potential for stalls, etc. when RL intrudes.

If you need a substitute later for somebody away on holidays, etc., I'd be available to fill in.

[snakegurl]

Soltz, you can count yourself in from the start if you want. No else has sent their email to me by way of signing on yet ! Which civ do you want ?

[Sixpack]

monarch, the hittites. `s good for my

[snakegurl]

So we have a game

so far :
Small map, temperate, 5 billion years, Pangea, Monarch

Sixpack, Hittites
Snakegurl, Germans

Who else is going for it ?

[Modo44]

Me.

I'd like the Egyptians, please.
