PBEM, Anyone?

[Adagio]

If Trip/Buster doesn't respond before tomorow, should we post a link to this thread, in this thread? (Hoping others will join in their places, if they don't respond)

I sent a PM to Trip, and a couple of days ago, he did say, he was still on. He probably just forgot.

If not, I'll invite someone from the ptw demo game, or we could go ahead and just play with 4 people.

I've been waiting...

[alva]

ok, ADG, set it up

[Jon Shafer]

I'm not accustomed to waiting 2 months to start a game...

[Adagio]

Ok... starting the game in a few minutes... Here's the playing order:

ADG: GMT +1
alva848: GMT +1
FrustratedPoet: GMT
Calc II: -5
Trip: GMT -7
Tiberius (and friend ): GMT +2 (GMT +1)

Should I do that, only for the news Civs (for those want the new Civs), or should we say, ALL players should have one of the new Civs, but chosen randomly (by me, and that hat, I have to search for ) ?

But before I start, I need to know what I have to do here (if I don't get any response within an hour, I just pick random Civs for all, among the new Civs...

[Adagio]

Oh, and btw... There's no reason to set it up now, since I don't have the second players email (alva848)... When I get that email, I'll set it up...

I've asked Vondrack to play for me until I come back and he agreed! I could play myself for a few days, but there's no point in that. Please email Vondrack the save game.

So I'll kick your ass after all ! (well, first Vondrack, then me )

Hi, everybody!

The email is vondrack@jimaz.cz

I am one hour behind Tibi, that is GMT +1.

Sorry to be so brief, I am overloaded with RL duties. But I promise to play my (errr... I mean Tiberius' ) turns promptly...

[FrustratedPoet]

Thanks vondrack.

@ADG

could you write them on a piece of paper and pull them out of a hat, sort of speak.

send you a e-mail, to give you my addres

[Adagio]

And the game has been started, with this playing order:

ADG: GMT +1
alva848: GMT +1
FrustratedPoet: GMT
Calc II: -5
Trip: GMT -7
Tiberius (and friend ): GMT +2 (GMT +1)


And I went random for all players, but only for the new Civs...

[alva]

got it, turn sent to FP

ADG: could you keep a similar save name throughout the game. So that they are at least sorted in my folder.
I have another game going with FP(in wich he plays after me too , quite common when only 2 players are involved I guess )
May I suggest to wording;

your name to alva, 1111BC.

Please, keep the turnyear too, if not, errors are going to occur
thanks

[Adagio]

I don't think I can remember that, since I have one name for each game. I always save this game as FirstApolytonPBEM

This makes it much easier...

[Adagio]

And I can't see, how turnyears can avoid errors to occur... it only makes it worse...
