NYE, can you play during the daytime, or do you need to be done with work?

[notyoueither]

Damn. Did not see the colour choice of BF. I will let you know soon.

I work days. Must be after work. Actually, putting me after BF would be wise, since he normally cuts out before I am home.

[notyoueither]

Give me Aztec green, then.

[Donegeal]

Ok, Aztec green it is....

And a new play order:
Anatolia
Don
SR
OPD
GF
Beta (is anyone going to bug him? I can't send PMs at work...)
BF
NYE

[Harovan]

PMd Beta

[Donegeal]

SR, Are you at work right now? would you be able to play the turn at this time? It would be about 4 more hours until I could play mine...

[Harovan]

It's Saturday, and I'm at home. I have several things to do, but at weekends I can play 'round the clock. Can't do so during the week, though.

yes kiddies, that is a real start from a real game. Started wandering from a point adjacent to the bonus grass and gold hill. That shot is 3500BC.

Thats a VERY similiar start to my Vikings in the Power Block PBEM with OPD, I started with two grassland and everything else mountain. Not a drop of water in sight.

Hi folks. I'm here. Sorry about that.

I actually had sent my information to Don shortly after he set the game up, (but I know he promises to forget it ), and then I was away for a couple of days.

My vote is two traits.

Also - I am with SR about not strating with 3 settlers, but I will go with the flow.

Monarch - OK.

Normal map - whatever. Wewt is fine too. All the mods - OK. Although to be honest - I will need a better explanation of how those hidden UU (jag warrior to cossack thing works).

And my civ:

Civilization: Atlantis
Noun: Atlanteans
Adjective: Atlantean
Title: Emperor
Name: Betazoid
Leaderhead: Xerxes (Persian)
Color: Celtic Green

Now PM'ing MZ with my details.

[Beta]

And oh yes - I am in Toronto - so GMT-5 normally, with EDT, GMT-4.

Wewt sounds interesting, can you elaborate a bit more?

Your really like this Atlantis stuff, don't you......

[BigFree]

I emailed my settings to MZ.

Of course my vote is for 3 traits. So does it need 4 or 5 votes to pass?

Everything else sounds fine. What about general rules? Like no MiniMap trades before MM; and other things that have come up in the PTWDG and the ISDG.

[marcuspeddle]

I agree with not exchanging minimaps before actual in-game contact.

[Harovan]

I propose this general rule: Only in-game diplomatic transactions

This means in particular:

- No diplomacy at all before meeting in-game. Includes no hints like "I'm in the upper right quarter of the map, go look for me there."
- No secret contact trading. Meaning, it is not allowed to say "Player X is to my southeast, look for him there". Contact trading (or gifting) after Writing is ok.
- No minimap trading whatsoever. We can trade TMs and WMs in-game.
- No hidden alliances. Alliances have to be formed by building embassies and allying in-game, visible for all. Meaning: Parties can plan attacks together, but as soon as war broke out, the alliance has to be published.

All this needs some fair play from everyone, but I think no need to worry about this.

[marcuspeddle]

I agree with Sir Ralph but I don't think we need to announce alliances. Don't nations have secret alliances in real life?
