Now let's hope Dave gets his monitor back in time... New players are still welcome of course. Even if this game is 'full' (it isn't yet), we could set up a second game...

I would like to join in also no preferences

Lucutus,
I just took it for granted that you would sign me up as well.

[Locutus]

Cool guys, good to see you both join...
Let's wait a little while longer to see if more people are interested in joining and if Dave gets his monitor back anytime soon, otherwise it would seem we are good to go...

BTW, how are y'all on the settings? Cradle v1.3 (6 opponents, Regular map, Hard, Raging Hordes) good for you? Any preferences for Civ and leader and stuff? Turn lengths ok?
Of some of you I don't have an email address yet. IW, Hermann, hex (if you participate), I'll assume I can use the usual mail addresses for you guys, let me know if you want to use a different one. Gazablanca, Oerdin, you two will need to either post an address here or mail me at w.snijders@student.utwente.nl before the game starts.

Locutus,

Yes, you can use my regular email address.

Now, how many players do you want before splitting into two games? My thought is that a good "recycle rate" might be 6 to 8 players and a 72-hour rule, so if you get 12, we could split.

Other people's thoughts?

p.s. Do you suppose I should give up and start using a signature?

Yeah, about 12 sounds right. We'll have to see as I personally wouldn't mind participating in both games (would probably be a good idea since I already volunteered to host both ), others might as well. IW already indicated that he only wants to participate if there are sufficient players, so 2x6 might not be enough for him. So we'll just have to see how many people sign up and figure out the details afterwards.

I originally said 48 hours but on second thought 72 hours doesn't sound too bad either (I can be quite busy at times myself), if others don't object.

Well, if you get tired of typing your handle after every post you might want to consider that. Alternatively you could sign your posts with 'Ed', a lot shorter than '-- Hermann'

I.W.,
I counted 9 not 6. We could use a few more but nine should be enough to start with...

id prefer the greeks or the romans but any mediterranian nation would do

I personally absolutely the Egyptian city style so I propose we play with the Egyptians, if noone objects. As in previous games, I also propose we rename the leader to 'Apolyton'

Oerdin,
I think 9 is already a lot, in previous games people complained it took way too long before they got to play their turn again and that once they did get to play, so much had changed it felt like a completely different game. Therefore Hermann and I suggested to split up in 2 teams of 6 (or more) if there are 12 or so players, that's what IW was referring to.

Gazablanca, Oerdin, thanks for your addresses, I now have all the data I need.

Another issue is that some of the setitngs in our userprofile.txt need to be idential. I listed the settings which I think should be identical below with the value that I'd wish to give them. Feel free to propose changes/additions/removals:

Pollution=Yes
PlayerNumber=1
MaxPlayers=32
AlienEndGame=Yes
DebugSlic=No


We could still use more players though, don't be shy and sign up while you still can!

Sure, great

Though english is my second language,

If I counted correctly that makes 4 (or 5?) of us, so don't worry about that

I will be in too, but not just yet. Still waiting for my repaired hard drive to come back from Seagate.
