Brave New World

[Zalek]

It's no problem for me to wait two weeks.
Map: regular
AI: no
GMT +01

And I want take Persian

"Ciemnosc, ciemnos widze... Ty, nasi tu byli!" Superkozi - niezla ksywka

Is that what time of day you generally play Zalek? 01:00 GMT? I'm guessing that's your timezone, what time of day are you most likely to play your turns?

[Zalek]

O sorry - it's my not to good english and sometime (often?) I don't understand what exactly you mean.
So, I usually play at 1100 - 1300 and 1600-1900 - much better for me is second because now I have no job, but if I find it, I'll be at home only at evening.
I hope you understand, what I mean

[ricketyclik]

OK, just waiting on Nuke's vote to begin...

I am happy to have a 2 week hiatus before or after we begin, as long as the other players don't mind, and as long as you're a reasonably prompt and regular player after your holiday.

OK, I think we're getting toward a game here. Personally I want 4, maximum 5 players. We'll see who's still interested at the start of game.

Please vote for the following variables:

Map size: regular/large
AI's: yes/no (If "yes" wins, we'll vote subsequently on the number)

Also, please post the time of day (GMT) that you are most likely to play.

I take it everyone's happy with middle map settings and monarch difficulty?

Map size: regular
Map Type: Archipelago
AI: Yes
Time to play 2:00 am gmt (9 pm est)

Let me know when we start!

[ricketyclik]

Oops, I was wrong. We still need superkozi's vote, as we are tied on the issue of AI's.

Are we all OK with archepelago? I am.

[superkozi]

Sorry for delays. That's great, we could wait for 2 weeks. I am leaving 1st of August and be back on 15/16 night probably. So I need a break that time. But then I promise to be prompt with my moves.
As far as my choices are concerned:
Civ: Ottomans
Map: regular
AI: well, I wouldnt like to be more than 5 civ on such map, so I vote no for AI
Time: GMT+1 and favourably I would like to play in the late evening (22.00 GMT).
Kozi (Super ofcoz, hehehehehe)

Ps. "ChodŸmy na wschód, tam musi byæ jakaœ cywilizacja.." )

And I forgot my mail:
superkozi at interia dot pl

[Snotty]

I would prefer continents are pangea as I am involved in another pbem archepelego game and would like something a bit different.

[ricketyclik]

OK, superkozi, Zalek, we need you to vote on land mass type.

[superkozi]

My vote: neither for, nor against archipelagos (I dont know how it is called in English), bcoz I just cannot make up my mind:
I would prefer continents probably although it may finish to me quite soon, when I meet somebody too early. So maybe archipelagos? But it also has many disadvantages... Is there anything in the middle?

And another proposal: maybe we start 3 games with the same rules and after let's say 25 turns we will decide by voting which one we should continue. It a little bit prevents situation when smb starts on tundra or on some other "pleasant" areas...

Or how about this variation? We start 3 games and play only the opening turn, then each vote for our preferences, with a mark out of ten for each of the games. I did that once in another game and it worked well.

25 turns is a lot of turns to then abandon a game. It's not like we're playing for money here. But I'm open to the wishes of the group, please comment everyone.

Zalek, we still need your landmass preference.

[Zalek]

Oki, Superkozi's proposition (3 games at the beginning and after few turns of each, we vote for one to continue) is good, but like ricketyclik I think 25 turns is too much. I think we should play only few turns - 3 to 6. Opening turn only is better then nothing but I think a little bit more turns (e.g. 3 to 6) will be the best way for each player to decide, which game he/she choose to continoue.

My preferences:
map size - regular
map type - continents

[Snotty]

Rather amusingly I make the votes 2 for islands and 2 against, with 1 in the middle.
As for the 3 games thing, its a good idea. 3 turns, marks out of ten.

[ricketyclik]

OK, I'll change my vote to pangea, which is in the middle. Pangea OK with everyone?
