Looking for PBEM game

[Gasper557]

Looking for a PBEM game to join. I'll play any civ - prefer US, English, or German though.

thnx

How many players you looking for. I'd be up for a game if the number of players is low, so that the turns arrive at a reasonable rate.

I'll take any civ too, but being Welsh - I'd like to try the Celts.

Let me know

Hey, could I join this game? I just got PTW; but I have a firewall so can't play over the internet. I would like to play as the Chineese.

[Pggar]

I would like to play aswell.
Indians would be nice.

[ColDark]

4 is about as many as I want to play with, so if you four guys are up for a game we should set one up.

BTW Panzer, have you read the other threads regarding firewalls. With a little reconfiguring you should be able to play. I have a hardware Firewall and I was able to join an internet game no probs. Hosting behind a firewall is more difficult though - still haven't managed to do that on Gamespy, but I have hosted a Direct IP game.

[Panzer32]

ok I'm in. When would people be able to play their turns? About 16-22:00 on weekdays is good for me on weekdays. On weekends and during the Christmas break, anytime is good.

[Pggar]

Where's Gasper?
During Christmas break I can play at anytime.
I check my mail several times a day and it wouldn't be a problem to play at least one turn per day.

EDIT = email adddress removed

So if you can all send me your email addresses I will set up a game.

I am [email address removed by ColDark]

I will Message Gasper557 to see if he's still up for a game.

We should get hold of a moderator, ideally to start the game off for us, but also to hold our game passwords incase anyone wants to jump ship, we can then get a replacement.

For this game I suggest we stay with the default settings of:

Game Type: PBEM
Game Mode: Standard
Turn Timer: Slow
World Size: Standard
Barbarian Activity: Roaming
Land Mass: Continents
Water Coverage: 70%
Climate: Normal
Temperature: Temperate
Age: 4 Billion
Difficulty: Regent

No AI

Game Rules:

Allow Conquest Victory
Preserve Random Seed

Anyone want any changes to these rules let me know. I have just gone with the defaults, Any other preferred victory conditions can be added if required.

Send the file to me at:

dmurray5 @ cogeco.ca

(without the spaces, of course)

[Pggar]

Check your mail Col, my adress should be there.

I hope we can't get a moderator soon, otherwise we'll have to wait more.

Anyway, should we have a title to use in the mails we send and receive, so we can identify it faster?

[ColDark]

OK. Lets call it "Dawn of Time" which we can abbreviate to "DoT".

Anyone out there reading this willing to moderate?

Hope Gasper comes back to is soon. As soon as I hear from Gasper and / or a moderator we can start.

When the game starts we should set up a turn progress thread, through which we can keep each other informed of when we pass on the turn.

[ColDark]

I have PM's Gasper twice and emailed once - no reply. He / She is playing in a new PBEM game anyway.

Gasper is in this game

Wondered if you wanted a fourth player, or should we go with just the three of us?

A moderator hasn't stepped forward either, so I am prepared to setup a game. As this is my first PTW PBEM it'll be a learning curve thing for me at least.

We so far have three players I suggest the sequence (because of time zones) should be

ColDark - The English
Pggar - The Indians
Panzer 32 - The Chinese

I have set up a Turn Reporting Thread here which you should subscribe too.

[Pggar]

The three of us is fine by me.
This is my first game as well and I'm anxious to play.
I should be home in about 8h and I'll play the game as soon as I get it.
