  • Team PBEM

    Turn Order:

    snoopy369 (username @ yahoo)
    zord (zordprime a terra dot es)
    mickeyj (mickeyj AT dsl.pipex.com)
    chrisius (chrisbennett8 a aol)
    sabre (sabrewolf TA blackhole TOD ch)
    paddy (paddythescot a vtown com au)
    aqua (akwalung71 yahoo)
    mfcamillus (ffarth verizon net)


    Alliances:
    Snoopy369 <> MFCamillus
    Zord <> Mickeyj
    Chrisius <> Paddy
    Aqua <> Sabrewolf

    Although i have a million games going ... I'd like to start another one, for fun (not money, sorry alexman).

    This is a TEAM PBEM. Not a Demo game, but a TEAM game in which eight players are on four teams, implying locked alliance (and co-victory, assuming both players survive). I think others have played this way before, but I haven't... and would like to.

    I will take *only team entries*, which means if you don't have a teammate, post here but I'm not saving you a spot if 4 full teams show up. I don't intend this to be a terribly serious game -- mostly because I don't have the brainpower to be assured I'll win.

    Rules:

    Team members may communicate anything and everything to each other, maps, screenshots, science, whatever. It'll be on a random map, so no guaranteed nearby start, but you'll find each other soon enough i don't doubt.

    Non-team members may not communicate except what's available in game -- you may communicate anything that would be technically communicable in game, so once map trading is available you can give specific directions; once mil. alliance is available you may make a military alliance; once communication is open, you may discuss scientific advances. Communication with one team member is communication with both.

    Beside that, I don't see any 'rules' we need (though post if you do). Play for fun, play fairly.

    Map will be Standard, Pangea, 80% water, to ensure we're nice and tight. Everything else up the middle.

    I'd be open to a slightly modified map, either to ensure close team starts, or to give a fast start (extra settler), and/or anything else people want.

    Oh, and anyone who wants to team with me, feel free to say so. I'm going to ask a few people, but I don't have anyone lined up yet.

            sounds cool

            to aqua - my fiercest foe in many games : i'd love to be for once on the same side


            just one thing about the map settings: 80% pangea can turn out quite crappy... ask swissy what happened in the "double the fun" game (i'll tell you: one of his civs was stuck on a medium sized island outside of suicide-curragh reach of the main continent.
            maybe 70% is better suitable for 8 players?

                Well if it's not for money, count me out.

                Seriously though, an 8-player game would probably be too slow for my taste, but thanks for the invitation!

                If I may offer a suggestion, you should probably slow down the tech rate, otherwise with research cooperation it will be too fast.

                            i think we should try and get in a turn every single day with everybody having their fixed time slots. if we have too liberal playtimes, we may risk this game to get completely stuck.

                            in the 6player-2-a-day game (actually only 5 players), we're managing the 2-a-day pace easily. so with 8 players once-a-day should be possible!

                            what do you guys think?

                              Thanks for the invite but I'm in a team game already. Not to mention I'm in too many games as it is. ^^
