Turn 3600 BC to JShelR.

The principle is simple - but thinking about it - we would have 4 people hanging around in a chat room while the fifth person takes his turn. In other words for a couple of hours we each would be "Hanging around" doing nothing constructive for about 80% of the time. The benefit, we would maybe get through about 10 turns each, - my question now is - is it worth doing?

Anyway, if we go for it we have to ALL be available at the same time - as if we were playing MP. We meet in a chatroom - we used the Apolyton Chat room. Then we set up a private chat room and we were off.

I think the difficult thing to arrange would be a mutually acceptable time. as an example, JSHelR's suggestion of 7:10AM to 8:15 AM NY Time is (I think) 12:10 PM - 1:15 PM GMT - sorry, I'm not available then. Probably to get the best availability I would have thought maybe a Sunday evening GMT (Sunday afternoon NY).

It might be worth trying a turn based MP session - there would be lag I think, but it might be worth a go. I know I can host Direct IP - can you all "Join" MP games?

Thanks ColDark - I could commit a couple of hours on a Sunday Afternoon or evening in a chat room (I'll be at home, with a cup of tea and so could watch telly and do other things whilst waiting for the turn).

Not sure I understood the idea of a turn based MP session - would this be a completely new game ? (or could we convert the PBEM game to Turn based for a while)

**ColDark** · January 8, 2003, 07:58

I believe, in fact I'm pretty sure, we could convert the PBEM session into turn based MP, and then revert. I will experiment by setting up a PBEM game, and then try loading it MP. I've played a few MP games now, and I'm pretty sure this would work (although because of JShelR being in Canada, may be laggy).

Good - let us know how you get on - is everyone else up for a two hour session this Sunday? - say 2-4pm GMT ?

**ColDark** · January 8, 2003, 08:14

This Sunday is not good for me (sorry to be a damp squib). I am visiting family this weekend.

This is the kind of difficulty that we are bound to get trying to tee up 5 people.

SORRY

I might well be difficult/ impossible - but lets give it a try - how about the following Sunday 19th Jan ?
