I'd like to join. I can play smac as well as smac-x. In smac I'd prefer to be UoP (my "best" faction) or Morgan (still learning the subtleties of world domination with them)
In smac-x I'd like to be consciousness, data angels or uop or morgan.

BUT, I cannot begin playing before the 8th january 2000. (My dad wants me to work for him at the ski resort back home. I'll by servicing non-artificial idiots for two weeks, quite a break from studying comp science...

So if a que forms for the "first diplomacy pbem in the new millenium" I'm in. (Though, off course, we would sneak ahead and start in 2000, even though a new millenium isn't due until 1/1 2001.

Ok, count me in. I'll mail details to Vel.

[Cthol]

i have emailed vel a day ago.

My apologies for the delay in responding....social duties called (ie, Vel had a date, and a quite promising one at that! ::grin: : ) At any rate, when I return this afternoon, I'll go over all the e-mails and begin assembling the players and games!

Vel,

Are you going to keep this running for a while? I really want to join in one of these games, but I've got all my SMAC stuff geared towards my Star Wars mod, meaning I can't play normal SMAC until I finish.

I hope to get most of it done before the new year. Will this still be going on after then?

I would like to play, but excuse my ignorance, I've never actually played an e-mail game, thinking it too long and unweildly. This thread has changed my mind on that, and I want in!

My question is, how does the e-mailing mechanics of this game work? Do we all e-mail our moves to Vel, or go a round-robin e-mailing? And is there a time limit to ensure that the game goes smoothly, like everybody has 1 day to respond, so that 1 turn takes maximum 4-5 days (depending on number of players) -- doing it this way could we even go as far as to arrange that say, Tuedays is player1's turn, Wednesdays Player2's turn, etc, or would that not work?

Thanks for your help; although I've designed a lot of modules (some soon to be released) I have spend little enough time investigating about SMAC e-mail games.

Same here Vel - mail me please.

G'morning everyone.....a quick note before I hit the sack for a few random winks before the alarm goes off for work later this morning.....yep, everyone who's ilnterested will get fit into a game, but as it stands now, with Y2k testing looming all this week, I will not be able to start any of the games til after the first....

Apologies for the delays in getting the games up and running, but I want to make sure I do the victory conditions justice and make it really interesting for all parties involved.....

I'll skip lunch tomorrow and try to get a few things hammered out on it, and will report back here with updates!

sorry i was a little unpatient...

I'd be interested in playing a game, if someone can explain PBEM to me. I don't see how the diplomacy would work, except by out-of-game messages. I'd like SMACX if possible (Drones) or the UoP in regular SMAC.

Sorry, accidental double post erased ::.
