Who have time to play now? I have XP

[Gavrushka]

Quinns, Milamber that is great!

Filix, apoligies, cannot host for a week or two yet.. PLUS I got work to do

[Gavrushka]

Let me try and summarise...

We have the following agreed players

Azrael
Blackice
Quinns
Filix
Rickityclick
Milamber
Mathemagician
Gavrushka

Of these we have two confirmed hosts in Blackice and Azrael. But As I understand we have two or three more hosts about to join, and I will in a couple of weeks run 98 off a new PC

Do we need a new thread for this?

[Mathemagician]

if i get this right, we cannot afford more than 1 team without a host player, so almost every 2nd player would need to be able to host.

what do you in a game where one player dies if that player was the host ?

[Gavrushka]

Yes.. for 8 players we would need 3 hosts. With me that makes 3, with filix, that makes 4. Yoda, 5, grafxfx and Atilla 6 and 7!

[Mathemagician]

but with these players we would also need more than 3 hosts.
i think one host per team is essential.
still there is a chance that if the two hosts in a 2x2 game are the first to die, the game wont be able to continue, right ?

[Gavrushka]

NO! LOLOL.. All new players are hosts.. I have not seen a game go to total annihilation. I say the game concludes and victory is granted if EITHER of an opponents civs are totally wiped out.. The mechanics of the gameplay will make allowances for this and can be discussed in detail later.

All new players are hosts.

now i have to ask again: what do you mean by that ?
i thought IPX worked only in LAN systems... ?

[Gavrushka]

Oh don't ask me Pedantic Boy! .. Ask Blackice!

[berXpert]

I can play only on friday or saturday night at my modther's home until Blackice and me solve a little problem with my wireless ADSL.

If that is not a problem please sign me up.

[Pin]

Ill sign up if theres still room, i cannot play until after 2. june as i have 5 more exams in the forthcomming 2 weeks. After that 1 hour every 2nd week should be np, but i would suggest a little more time as minimum. 1 hour around 200ad aint many turns for 4 players.
And what kinda land we talking? hope we wont play a mountain only world with max goods, i suggest a more "normal" world with less goods to prevent the very fast science. With that high science much of the game play is lost due to the fact units are absolete before you get them too the front etc.

[Mathemagician]

i agree with Mr.Pin there.

he hit the nail on the head.
