trickey's PBEM

[CerberusIV]

Standard is fine with me. I will go with whatever everyone else wants for climate and temperature. I do not want age 3 billion (I hate the idea of being stuck on an island consisting of 50 mountain tiles). I would prefer a continents map but again will go with the majority.

[StSwf]

Standard

[SpencerH]

StSwf what time zone are you ?

[SpencerH]

Since most are here now, is there any consensus on the three game start concept?

I don't mind trying it.

[SpencerH]

Damn DP

[marcuspeddle]

I'll try the three start game.

[SpencerH]

So where's trickey? Lets start!

[StSwf]

Im US Eastern. GMT -5.

[SpencerH]

this should be the best play order

anatolia (Korea)
cerebrus (UK)
trickey (PEI)
StSwf (EST)
SpencerH (CST)
Imtoops (Texas)

Wheres trickey and Imtoops? I've PMed Imtoops but trickey hasnt been to poly since the 21st.

Here I am...thanks for the PM SpencerH. I suppose we are forging ahead with or without Trickey.

I think the map size should be standard or smaller. The climate and temperature....I don't care. Please make the map 4 or 5 billions years old.

The 3 game start if fine.

My time zone is -6 GMT.

What else....

Are we playing accelerated production. In my other PBEM game, we tried accel. production, but it was accidently turned off early in the game. I'm fine with accel. prod., but there must be very clear instructions on how to open the game and what to check before proceding with your turn. If turns aren't opened and saved just right, lots of problems ensue.

We need to recruit a moderator. Someone who is copied on all turns. Someone who can play for a player temporarily (vacations, RL issues, etc.). The moderator also helps when there are problems (since they are not part of the game).

Do you think we need a moderator?

I dont have a mod in any of my other games so I'm unsure of whether its necessary or not. I think it would slow things down and I'm sure we can find someone to fill in for vacations and to arbitrate disputes.

I would like to wait for trickey but how long should we wait?

If we decide to go without him I'm willing to get the ball rolling since I've done it before.

So far we have the play rotation set, the civs we want, standard map, normal everything else (yes/no). Maybe someone wants to delineate the known PBEM cheats and glitches and how to avoid them.

Tae hell wi this.

If y'all are interested I'll start a new thread with the rules and the game.
