Thanksgiving Weekend Succession Game

[Random Entity]

What's this? ANOTHER succession game? Damn right.
I just found out about these things today by reading the Apolyton and CivFanatics forums, and they're probably one of the best ideas ever (and the closest to MP we're going to get for a while).
I know there are some already going on, but I was hoping to try and start one myself this coming holiday weekend (when I've got a lot more time).
The specifications would probably be the same as many of the other games on the forum:
- Regent difficulty
- Random Civ
- Normal or Large map
- 20 turns per ruler, with a 72 hour limit
- 7 or 8 opposing civilizations
- Normal/Temperate/4 Billion
- 70% Land Mass
There'll probably be a limit of 6 or 7 players total, maybe a few more depending on how many respond. Also, I was thinking of getting a site or something (maybe on Geocities) up and running that'll detail the history of our Civ in all its glory. I suppose the title of the post is a bit misleading, as the game will probably take much longer than one weekend.
So, if you're interested in taking part in yet ANOTHER CivIII succession game, respond to this post or send an e-mail to berduin@softhome.net.

Random, I would definately be interested in playing, I won't be around much of thanksgiving weekend though (except sunday night) so as long as my first turn is after that, count me in.

I hope the title of this post hasn't scared anyone away!

I'm already participating in one game.... But it seems to be dead now.

Anyway, I'd like to join too. shadowmn@netvision.net.il

Good idea.
But I think that we will have to increase the time allowed to make your turns, since it takes a while to write all the stuff that happened in a good story format with screenshots and stuff.

I'd be willing to host your game. All you guys would have to do is send me the stuff by e-mail or post it here and keep me updated. My site is hosted by the University. It's here at www.icdweb.cc.purdue.edu/~mckibbin

I'd love to play... count me in. If you can't get a site up, I would be willing to host any screenshots

Count me in, too.
Also, I already have an account on homestead. So, if need some web space for screenshots/stroies...
vovansim@yahoo.com

[jerkwaterbox]

That is six people.

[mactbone]

Sorry, if I didn't make myself clear, but right now I'm not interested in a succession game, I was just imterested in providing a place for you to proclaim your achievements.

[quinalla]

Cool, so we need at least one more person? Someone has got to be interested!

[vovan]

Actually, we don't need another person. We have:

1. Random Entity
2. quinalla
3. jerkwaterbox
4. Eli
5. Mike4879
6. Me (vovansim)

So, that is six. Unless, we want seven people, we are ready to go

[jerkwaterbox]

Technichally, vovansim, MacTbone said he wanted to be in the game BEFORE you, but i suppose we could play with 7. It is all up to Random Entity

[quinalla]

Ok, I got it now, we already have six, thanks for helping me out with my math vovansim

Oh, and jerkwaterbox, did you miss MacTbone's post?

So, Random, when are we going to start this thing?

[vovan]

Deleted.
