New PBEM: Midway

[kelvinc]

A new PBEM needs people to play!

Midway:
5 Players (all Windows: had some trouble with a Linux-Windows game... ...dunno about BeOS though)
Regular Size Earth Map
Default Map Setting (Goods, Land vs. Water, etc.)
King Level
Restless Tribes setting
No AI

These are just suggestions: any one can be changed, but this way once everyone is ready we can start without still discussing game detail.

Please post reply and email to kelvinchan@poboxes.com, stating tribe and game alias.

Personally, I'm Chinese, and my name's Kelvin (too self-centred for an alias ).

I'm in.

Let me try India - she's a lovely lady. Leadername could be Wiagra (nickname: The Rightstanding (wrong spelled on purpose)).

[Krash]

Yeah Kwlvin, I'd like to be counted among the players in this game!

Whatever settings you decide on are fine by me I'm easily pleased!

I think the Vikings sound quite appealing and I'll stick to Krash as my leaders name which may not be very original but it saves me getting too confused

[kelvinc]

Blame it on the guy that named the island. And anyway, it's easier to pronounce than "Guadalcanal", "El-Alamein", or Iwo Jima"!

[Franses]

Kelvin,

I have windows and agree with the settings. If you are still looking for more people, count me in. I already sent you an e-mail to make sure you have the right e-mail address.

3 people so far so we still need 2.

I suggest that email alerts be sent for every turn. Posting on the board is optional.

Do we want some sort of quick start? I've never considered the idea, but I might as well ask. If less than majority says so by the time we get 5, then no, but if so, would somebody please explain how may I implement it?

[Krash]

Just posting this note to keep this near the top of the forum in order to drum up some interest!

[Franses]

A simple way to "quickstart" is to start with more settlers and gold. The other way I know is to use a preset scenario. Personally, I do not have scenario's for 5 players.

[Krash]

I have a scenario that gives 5 settlers & 10000 gold to start with if you want I'll send you a copy to look at. Actually, it belongs really to Stavros as I believe he wrote it but I'm sure he won't mind us borrowing it.

We are still in need of a couple more players aren't we?

[kelvinc]

I've got the scenario but haven't tried it yet... ...I'm surfing right now and I don't feel like booting CTP... ...but I'll just believe the files are good to play with.

[Franses]

These last two players seem difficult to get. Perhaps we should start a new topic with a heading like "3 PBEM players need 2 more"?

[Sowasabauch]

Hey, don't give up to early! I, call me Sow, and my fellow french people would be very pleased to enter this game.

[Krash]

Great! Then we are 5.

Shall we get started Kelvin?

[kelvinc]

Midway initiated. Turn 0 sent to Wiagra of the Indian nation.

[Tyrannus]

If you still need a fifth then count me in!

Tyr of the Vikings (or Canadians or Russians even)
