Pbem?

[Grothgar]

Oh and heres a map. I know it looks god damn awful really but cases good old strange way of this map is thwarting me. so this may have to do.

Also its easy to update

OK, thanks Grothgar. I'll remove the Chinese - Russian war events. I'll also take NATO's endless supply of AEGIS cruisers away. I'll add events to give the smaller powers (Arab League, APEC, Pakistan) extra units at random intervals.

BTW, how to you make those great maps?

edit: Afganistan should be shown as part of Pakistan

[Grothgar]

hmm honestly

good taking my advice is always good lol
and thanx for pointing out the pakistan afghanistan thing. I dont like having imperfect maps.
And as for why am i so good at making maps? i really dont know lol. i just tried to make a map one day and found i was really good at it so ive kept on making maps. i have maps for lots of scenarios now. and i make all my maps from scratch as well. and i find it easier to do it quicker now i mean i got this one out in about 2 hours. and for this one i have kep the nations borders on just so its easy for me to fill them in if someone takes that nation. also if you take part of a nation then iwont use black borders ill just fill in the part you have taken.

anyway heres the new map

Yup, they have to be <600 pixels wide to fit in the threads.

[Grothgar]

DAMN FMK i wasnt looking for an explantion i was looking for sympathy so i could rant some more i wont even say how long it took to make that map. Oh dear. and of course ive used it for loads of scenerios like 2194 and crisis.
Thanx case. and for how i do it seeing as i didnt really answer that last time. I just get a map and then draw it. not helpful at all is it
Anyway hows the pbem restructuring going? im Arab league remember

[Case]

Another question

How do you go about conducting dipolmatic negotiations in PBEM games?
I know that using the in-game negotiations is a big don't, but how do you negotiate alliances and the like? Is it OK to conduct negotiations privatly through email & PM's, or should the discussions go on message boards where everyone can see them?

Read the pbem guide attached above

Generally you can do it officially or unoficially, although I would recomend not to post your elaborate battle plans and secret pacts and such on the forums for your opponents to se

An official declaration stating that you are allied after "signing" the alliance would be nice though
