Bulletproof Part I

[ZoboZeWarrior]

Maybe turns have to be sent to the player, his/her official sub and to the moderator ?

It is not necessary.

However I would like to receive some turns.
It would be interesting and I would advice and role play if needed

So FlameFlash, start sending turns too me as well

[FlameFlash]

*nods* I'll certainly try and remember to, Keygen... may have to yell at me a few times before I remember though... recently I've only had enough time to read my e-mail, not the forums.

Keygen - The map description says "random". What do you mean by that? Is it just a randomly-generated map based on your specifications of ocean/land, wet/dry etc? Or are all of those factors random?

Just randomly-generated.

Some games use fixed maps with most popular the world map

No worries Gav... good luck in the tourney.

Bulletproof players, since you're new like me, it may interest you to know, if you didn't already, that after questioning Gav revealed to me that it is not kosha to play each turn until you get the best outcome possible and then save and send it. Each turn may be played only once. I assume there is no way to check this, so it relies on honesty.

I must confess that I played the 1st turn about 4 times to plan good city locations, and for this I apologise. I promise it will not happen again. However, given that it was a crucial stage of the game, I'm inviting you all now to call a mis-game, and to start again. I will understand. On the other hand, if you're all prepared to forgive me and continue, I am more than happy to proceed.

Your call Bulletproof players... what do you say?

It depends on how much of an advantage you gained by scoping out more map than you deserved on the first turn. If you replayed the turn until you found the 'perfect' spots for your city, then I'm willing to start over, as I'm currently surrounded by swamp and jungle. But if this would mean too much work for Keygen to recreate a game, then don't worry about it. Hey - at least you're honest! Thanks.

[MILAMBER]

hey i'm with plogsted, but i'm cool with it. also another thing is you can look at the persons map who plays after you so that relies on honesty too. i know this cause i'm currently playing a e-mail game on my desk top with my son and daughter. we just put them in the recycle bin when we are done. we are at about turn 75, being there is only 1 computer this was the easyest way to teach them how to play. anyway we all agree on the no rush buy trick but what about pw trick, pillageing and pirateing. keygen are those rules about ready, instead of being sent to homepage.




turn 2 recived, turn 2 sent to ricketyclik and blackice



And the Empire grew and the people were happy. Julius was busy founding the priesthood preparing his government but some rebelled and were ruthlessly crushed. The LORD said to Julius you did well my son. rule wisely but crush the unbelivers, and you will have a long and fruitfull reign.

I don't think it gives that big an advantage rickety. I say we play on. But then again, I have _really_ good starting terrain and I got Agricultural Revolution from some ruins, so I'm biased.

I may get shot for this but you know what Honesty is the cure. On the other hand there is no way to check on this so...The way I personally view it is spies, spies every where... Lets face it that is what makes PBEM different. You have to play smart do not think you can do online stuff it will not work. Even if the other player does not know your move his ally might and give them the info. One thing not to do is advance the turns to see the out come. Adjust your turns yes, IMHO after all thats what special units are made for

You should start a poll and a new thread to get the over all votes on this fact of PBEM This is a democracy and we all have a say so go for it. Welcome aboard people BTW one of the fastest game starts I have seen cudos to all!!!!!!

[faded glory]

Can I offer my player advice. Off thread of course!

Turn 3 sent to Seige and Blackice.

[Keygen]

Well, partially it is my fault too.
I haven't managed to complete the second version of PBEM Rules so you can't be aware of any rule right now.
In the rules it is mentioned that multiple reload of a turn for trying different results is not permitted.

I can restart the game if all agree but in such an early stage I don't think there will ba any difference.
