ISDG Forum Game #5

For the next couple of weeks I will not be very available. But usually I get my turns in anytime between 9am and 11pm EST, since I am a student and can be home during the day (at my discretion).

So what I'm saying is: it really does not matter where I'm placed within my time zone.


Dominae

It's probibly best that you go first then. I can only play during those times on the weekend. But let's see what ZargonX has to say...

[BigFree]

Is this game closed?

If not put me down for:

Egypt, Germany, China

[ZargonX]

At the moment, I can take my turn almost any time between 11am EST - 2 am EST. However, my employment situation may be changing shortly (hopefully ), so to be safe I'd say I'm most likely to go between 6 PM EST and 2 am EST. Also, my ability to play turns on Saturdays is a little hit-or-miss.

So, what I'm saying is, Dominae should probably go first

Added Bigfree to the time list

It's amazing that we are all within 3 hours. A turn-chat would be great to start the game off with!

[Master Zen]

I'm usually available before 10-12am or after 9pm GMT -6 (CST)

[Dominae]

Initial post updated. We could use one more player.

alexman has agreed to set up this map for us. Thanks!

What's the reason to get someone to set up the map? To get more even starting positions? I guess after Trip's bad start in #3.......

Yes.

I changed my civ again.

We need another player. I nominate Fried-Psitalon. If no one comes forward within the next day, let's start with just 7 players.


Dominae

[Jon Shafer]

Yes, let's get F-P in on this.

We had a little bet going anyways...

[Kloreep]

I'm available somewhere between 1700-1900 CST (1800-2000 EST, 2300-0100 GMT) or later at night, like 2100-2300 CST. My schedule varies through the week, but I can usually log on long enough to play my turn sometime in the early or late evening.

[ZargonX]

Have we had any luck getting the final player? If not, I think we should probably get started on this one soon...

Agreed. He said he would keep an eye on this thread, but I'll PM him by the end of the day just to be sure.

If this is final, I will set up the game today.

alexman has volunteered to set up this game for us (assuming he will not decide to play instead). Thanks alexman! I hear he takes bribes for good start locations, but he scoffs at anything under 100USD.

For a little extra, I can even mod your civ to start with a couple ICBMs.

Yes, everything is final. Concerning the Continents/Pangea distinction, I trust you'll use your judgement to make a fun/interesting game for everyone (unlike Minitourney PBEM!).

Does 125USD net me a MA and a Transport?
