It is not only the youngblood games

The speed of a game depends mostly on who is playing the game, secondly if the game is in a "hot" period or it is just plain move-end turns.

You can make all the rules you want, but if yo have a few players, that follows their "own" rules or no rules - or even worse have lost their interest for that game, then.....

If all did make a turnpost, if all were active and actually nexted "sinners" by themself instead of waiting for days and days until some other player lost his patience - oh sweet dreams

Watch out, bird. Don't ever mention the names .

Don't worry Solver - you are back on the track again. And you did have (at least) 2 reasonable ??? (what's the english term?? reason is not exactly the right word (reasonable reasons - stupid) more like "grunde"(dk)). Hope you can figure out the word I am thinking of .

Birdman,

I'm sure fast games are possible irrespective of experience but some of who have been around here for a while have not lost interest yet. The Island game with Solver, myself, King Thor, Kralj and Quinns is the fastest game I play. With rarely a day going by without a turn . With a fast turn rate the game gets even more fun to play.

I don't know if a good game is just luck in that the playing time of the players works well (in fact this must be a big factor but one that is not entirely in our control). The big problem with slow turn rates is that it is a downwards spiral as the slower the turn rate the less the interest and so the turn rate slows further (especially when technical problem rear their ugly head). I bet the biggest cause of lost interest and dropout among the younbloods is the slow pace of the game.

So young and old lets make the effort or leave it to those who do.

(I know I’m in danger of hypocrisy as I’ve been the cause of delay in the past, but the speed you deal with another players problem is often the biggest cause of delay)

As Birdman and I both know it gets even more painful when you have so long to wait for your inevitable execution.

I'm interested in joining Strife. Let me know which Mods I'll need.

Uhmm, ZobeZeWarrior isn't in Another World (at least not under that name). Who's leaving the game?

Ok, sign me up for the Apolyton Pack game then.

Keygen,

I thought TNT was to be an Apolyton pack game and/or a world map game It really doesn't matter though.

Birdman,

My e-mail address is NukeBoy1960@aol.com

[Keygen]

Nuke, in the new game will participate 3 new guys so I would like their first game not to use the Apolyton Pack. In some players it might not running well plus that I had heard in the past that PBEM games using the Apolyton Pack suffered from some problems, not sure though.

As for using the world map is kind time consuming to make a game using it and having several cities, units and techs. I kind avoiding making games with the world map but if you all want the world map then I guess I will do it for you .

Hi, I would like to join an PBEM game. I've never played PBEM before so am definatly a youngblood. I am willing to join a game already in progress if there is a place or start in a new game.

I've got a few questions to ask though.

I have the 1.2 patch but what is the CtP 1.21 Hack?

What is the Apolyton pack and world map that some people have mentioned?

Syoris

[Av8tor]

Keygen,

I didn't realize a world map involved more effort on your part. It really doesnt matter to me.

Keygen,

Would you mind if I join a game with these youngbloods. I want one, and since the first 15 turns are my powerful side. Anyway, I want to face some newbies, of course assuming we rate them, for I can't play in non-rated games, with the title I have.

Hi Keygen,

Thank's for the info.
If you could put me in that game it would be great . Thank's.
The length of time the game takes is not a problem as I've played PBM games which can take month's or year's to complete.

When/if you put me in the game do I need to do anything?

[Keygen]

Hi Syoris.

As you probably already know patch 1.2 is required to be able to play PBEM games. 1.21 Hack is an unofficial patch fixing some minor issues. The readme file explains what it fixes. It is not required and it won't affect your ability to play via email either you have it installed or not.

Apolyton Pack is a collection of modification, which means extra units and messages, modified messages, and some other extra stuff.

World map is a saved map representing the earth.

I must warn you that PBEM games are quite slow and takes much time, more than a year for standard or a little less for Deathmatches.

As soon as some players reply to your request to join a PBEM game a new game can start. If there is any game needing replacement will be posted probably here. In fact there is an empty position in a game currently in turn 5 or 6 using the world map. I can put you there if you'd like.

[Solver]

Syoris,
Would you like to be, like most of us, a rated PBEM player? If yes, I'll have extra interest in you, of course.
