Starting a new PBEM Conquests game

[Shogun Gunner]

Thanks Beta for the posting today.

I'm brand new at this...played Civ a bunch, been on 'Poly for some time, but never played PBEM or multiplayer mode. I'm excited to give this a try.

I was thinking of a six player game, all-random game -- even random civs, on a small map with average barb activity. However, if there is popular interest in another group of settings, I'm still interested. It would also be nice that at least one player having some experience in PBEM so I don't screw this up.

I can commit to at least one turn an evening...sometimes more. Please respond if you are interested and let's get a new game going.

Players:
1. Shogun Gunner - michaeldnelson A T msn D O T com
2. j2k -- pbem1 A T paperrat D O T com
3. Wittlich -- wittlich A T sbcglobal D O T net
4. SlightlyMadman -- benpbem0 A T slightlymad D O T net
5. ikkuh -- STILL CONFIRMING
6. Snotty -- Snotty128 A T hotmail D O T com

Beta on bench...

I'd like to play....

Random civ is okay with me... but if not, then Maya is my 1st choice.

paperrat?

[Wittlich]

Well, I'm currently in other PBEM games (both Conquests and PTW), but they are not moving along very fast...so sure. I'm up for joining one more.

The settings mentioned by Shogun are fine with me, but then again, I'm easy.

[Shogun Gunner]

Great!

Welcome j2k!!
Welcome Wittlich!!

Wittlich, glad you are aboard since you have experience in the PBEM mode.

Three more spots open...then we can get started!

[SirOsis]

Oh so tempting to start another. I'll sit this one out though. Too many games right now.

[SlightlyMadman]

You can count me in, too. I played a bit of PBEM a while ago, but haven't tried one recently.

Well next time SirOsis....

Welcome SlightlyMadman!

[Shogun Gunner]

2 more spots left..... Seems like a possibility to get this one started tonight...

What timezone is everyone in? I am GMT. Make sure the turn order follows the sunrise.

[Snotty]

If you can get an all american crew, then feel free for them to take my spot.

That's what I've heard as well.

SG - glad to see it going. Why don't you save a spot for ikkuh and send him a PM to join. He posted right before you in the directory thread and was looking to get involved in his first game as well.

And ... I can't resist - sign me up. As with Witt - I have a number of PBEM's on the go - but do NOT hold your breath regarding the pace of play.

And I am fine with random civs. It will make for an interesting game.

[Beta]

Oh - and one other thing I forgot to mention. There are a general set og guidelines for pbem games floating around. Obvious things like not re-loading a save to get better results, but also rules about no out of game contact (ie e-mail or PM) until civs have met in game.

No problem starting without it, but I will see if I can track it down. I'm sure it is buried in this forum somewhere. We wshould get it topped by a mod - or at least the guts of it included in one of the topped threads.

Searching ....

[Shogun Gunner]

Welcome Snotty...thanks for joining.

[Shogun Gunner]

I've PMed ikkuh and asked him if he's still interested....

We have seven players if ikkuh contacts me and you are still in Beta. Can I expand this list from six to seven? Any objections?
