Recruitment Center Book III

[J Bytheway]

I need someone to temporarily sub for me in Let there be rock starting from Friday (22nd) and lasting for an indefinate period, but no longer than a month. Please post at http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...&goto=lastpost

Players and moderators needed

Due to new job and family commitments, regrettably I have to resign from ALL the games I play or moderate.

So subs (players) are needed for:

• Ain't No Fun
• Fixed Game
• High Voltage
• Strife

I'm in a resonably strong position in all these games except Fixed where I inherited a very weak position and have made it a tiny bit better due to the generosity of the other players! Fixed is a diplomacy game where war appears to be banned, so it's a bit of a technology/pollution race.

Moderators are needed for:

• Chicken Run
• Face of Earth
• Three Guns

PN,

Sorry to hear about that, but I know what you mean. Best wishes!

I'm willing to moderate "Face of Earth" for you

[ZoboZeWarrior]

Nice to have played with you PN. And good luck for your new job !

[david42one]

I am happy to take over any of these games.

Yes, I am very interested! I'll need some details of course, please send me an email at david42one@yahoo.com. The most pressing details needed;

1. Do I need any mods or patches in addition to the 1.2 patch?
2. What is the game setup?
3. How do I start?

1. I don't think you need to install Keygen's fast-start mod since this game is underway.

2. Copied the following from the "Ain't No Fun" thread for your reference:

Game Settings

Skill level: Deity
Barbarian threat: Raging Hordes
Map Size: Gigantic
World Shape: Doughnut
Bloodlust: Off
Pollution: On
Map: Random

Mod: CTP PBEM Mod Lite 1.0

Other Settings

PBEM Rules
24-hour Rule

2.1. You can get rated if you wish. I wouldn't do it if I were you because the ratings are rarely updated

3. You'll be sent PN's turns.

For other details, such as diplomacy, I suggest you contact PN (dsryalls@lineone.net) and then take it from there... One bit of advice: keep your moderator happy

[jpww]

BTW, "Ain't No Fun" is an island type of game.

A very unhelpful comment- the agreed update interval is a month, the last time was March 3rd... The new Table is already prepared, over the last few months a lot of effort has gone into encouraging people to be rated, and getting new players on board, and yes I have to compromise against running and owning a business that turns over 8,000,000USD Annually... I cannot remember seeing many hands thrown skyward offering to update when Quinns Disappeared, constructive criticism is one thing comments like this are highly counterproductive.

Nice JP

Ok Ok Ok..all this hype and my reading and watching games has me wanting to have a go of it. How do I join a new game?..I cant compete with the best so pair me up as a "newbie" but i been playing a long time, lots of battlescars to show my lack of worth.

But seriously, I wanna try a pbem, can someone tell me when we play again?

I tried a little PBEM< between my emails and it was kinda kewl!

Faithfully awaiting the response!(From whomever???)

Yours In Civin

Isn't getting rated only a good idea when you're actually starting the game out? I know that I certainly don't want to be rated in R2 Islands which was on T129 at least when I started, while I know I asked to be in Bulletproof, which I started playing and will finish as long as everybody sticks around. Now in games like Eagles@War (T61), LiveWire (T17), & Chicken Run (T22) where is the recommended cut off point for getting rated? I'd think I'd still have a chance in LiveWire and Chicken Run, though looking at the map, I'm not sure. Eagles@War is too far gone in my view to be rated in that one.

I'm making note of all this BTW because I don't think (other than bulletproof) that I mentioned I wanted to be rated. Since these are the only games I'll be in for a while (unless one of them dies) what's the turn cutoff in the more experianced CtPers here for being rated?

[david42one]

I'm a little confused. How does one get rated? Is there an explanation of the rating system somewhere?

Also Troll, I'm also new to MP, would you like to start a game? I'm really looking to delve in as much as possible, and due to the long intervals between turns(I still haven't received any of PN's turns)in PBEM, I feel that I can have multiple games going at once. Email me at david42one@yahoo.com if you're interested.

Finally to Gavrushka, I'm no programmer but anything I can do to help with the workload?

Cheers,

I think being rated is a pretty big Buzz, - (ask Lung the undisputed PBEM champion ) I am rated in every game I play including the ones I subbed into.... Without exception when you take over a game, you find yourself way behind in the powergraph.... In one game I was so far behind it was embarrassing.... BUT there is a great sense of achievement taking a weak position and moving even into second last place.... It is more enjoyable for me to Struggle and Overcome than to have a massive lead.... erm chance would be a fine thing.....

[FlameFlash]

How does the rating system work though? Is there someplace I can go to find out more info on that?

I'll make it official that I might as well get rated in all the games I'm in here with this post. *shrugs* I mean, it is, after all, a comparison with how much a suck/am better than other players, though I have a feeling the first is much more likely

[Gavrushka]

Enough subbing a new game..

I propose to start a NEW game, no mods, but equalised land, I'd like to start a team game, with players in pairs, 8 players per game, possibly morre than one game if enough are interested.. IF I created the map and Zobo or Keygen would Mod start it for me then Grrrreat... otherwise a 5 settler 5000 gold start will be suggested.. Be great if people can post with their proposed team mate....
