New PBEM

[DuncanK]

It's 5 days now since we heard from Thrumble. I sent him email but he hasn't replied yet. Do you guys want to start?

[j2k]

I'm ready to start any time. If you guys think 3 players is enough, then I say lets go for it.

[Thrumble]

My email is Brutus_Boy@hotmail.com.

I never got a message requesting it though.

[andy_hammer]

Any room for another player?

If so, great, if not, not to worry.

I'd play the Russians, my email is:

andy_hammer2001*@yahoo.com.au

take out the *

Cheers

Andy

Ok we have six interested players, because I got an email from someone who hasn't posted here. I tend to agree with Tom Red that we should go with 4 or less. With more players the turns will take a long time. What does everyone else think?

If we go with 4 it will be Tom Red, Thrumble, j2k, and me.

[andy_hammer]

No problem, have to get in quicker next time

Have a good game.

Cheers

Andy

I'd be willing to allow more than 4 players but I really would advise no more than 6 at the absolute max.

[DuncanK]

Ok, six then. I will start the game.

[DuncanK]

I'm going with large world because of the number of players

[DuncanK]

I started it and took my turn. I'll be sending it to Stephen after this post. I decided to make it standard size with only 60% ocean. That will give us more room for expansion, but we can also engage each other quicker.

Here's the order;

1)DuncanK - French -
2)Stephen Lamm - Romans -
3)Thrumble - Spanish -
4)j2k - Egyptians -
5)Tom Red - Ottomans -
6)Andy Hammer - Russians -

Here are the settings;

1)Standard Size
2)Roaming Barbarians
3)Pangea
4)60% Ocean Coverage
5)Everything else default

I'm starting a thread to track turns. After you take your turn just post there as turn sent. That's so that if something happens to the turn we can find out what quickly and keep the game moving faster. I'm just going to call it DuncanK's game.

We can also label the turn files with the name of the next player, DuncanK's_Game, and the game year.

If you can't play for more than 1 day please notify us so we don't think you dropped off the face of the earth.

[Tom Red]

great - looking forward to getting started!

[DuncanK]

Me too, but I think we are having trouble getting the first turn moving. We may have to start again.

[DuncanK]

Stephen Lamm emailed me to tell me that he's sorry about the turn but he's having trouble with his desktop. He's using his portable and he will play the turn soon.

I'm not sure why he doesn't post here. maybe banned.

[DuncanK]

Ok Stephem is not going to be in this game. I'll start a new one.

Hi,
Small point DuncanK - can you take our emails off the forum by editing your message - this will prevent spamming programmes picking them up and sending us loads of junk mail !! Everyone in the game should have made a note of them by now.
thanks
