[edit]Doh! Misread that.[/edit]
I'll take Morgan if no one else wants him, and you should probably list me as Vaniver.

I'm currently limited to only SMAC but not for long. I generally prefer large or huge maps.

will set up this weekend if you want to leave rest of the details up to me

[Vaniver]

Sounds good.

[edit]Do we want to discuss rules? Would we like to allow the stockpile energy bug (which in theory benefits both facility-builders and unit-builders) or disallow it (which in theory only benefits facility-builders)? Should there be a discussion of bugs and other things which noobs wouldn't be expected to know much about?

just good clean honest fun

this will be my 2nd pbem game
have only completed 1 SP game

I have no ideas on any buggs

what do I need to look out for

[Addled Platypus]

now I gota figure out why the game wont run

I have the xp patch installed


might just uninstall and start from scracth

[Vaniver]

I could start the game if you're having troubles that don't go away easily, but I imagine that something preventing you from starting a game might prevent you from loading a game.

its worth a shot

Alright... this is my first PBEM game, so hopefully I won't screw much up.

Size: Large
Water: 50-70
Erosive: Weak
Natives: Rare
Clouds: Dense
Difficulty: Transcend
Rules: All 4 victory methods allowed
No cooperative victory.
Don't restart eliminated players.

Nothing else- post here if you'd like to ban something, like attacking bases with helicopters or Empath Guild or whatever you dislike. If your starting location sucks, we can restart (and by sucks I mean something like you don't have any 2 nutrient squares, not that you don't have 2 rocky bonus mineral squares).

Vlad has the first turn (since he's University), so I've emailed it to him. He should email it to me (Vaniver at gmail dot com) once he's done, then I'll email it to Platy.

Good luck and have fun, all!
