This is our proposal, but we are open for new ideas:
the game will be a SMAX scenario. Thinker level. Tech stagnation. No tech trading allowed. This is the way we are usually paying so, it will be a long game and we get the chance to fight with all the weapons.

[Hercules]

I'll look in my late afternoon to see if anyone is around. Sorry can't play earlier than that.

[florin79c]

we will wait for you if you are interested. so give us a sign as soon as you are available on yahoo mess (ID: florin79c / borcea_dan)

[Qloos]

You guys already start? Or can I get in on this too?

[bdanv]

You guys already start? Or can I get in on this too?

It is already finished. But nice to see that there is someone really interested in TCP/IP.

Hours Available: 1pm-1am PST, weekends proffered

What is that in GMT hours?

[Qloos]

8pm - 8am. I can flex that back a couple hours for ya. Just tell me what hours you're lookin for.

Edit: I also might be able to drag someone else into a multiplayer game. He's a bit green if you know what I mean.

Also, im a bit confused as to how PBEM plays out. If someone were to explain in detail how that system of multiplayer works I might be less timid about trying it out. I've already had about several short and one long IP game against a single human opponent.

8pm - 8am. I can flex that back a couple hours for ya. Just tell me what hours you're lookin for.

I edited the first post in the thread and Iwill keep it up to date. So which day of the weekend?

We (me and florin79) are GMT+2 so it will be starting from 10pm local time. We'll be needing some cofee to finish the game.

@florin: Are you in?

Edit: I also might be able to drag someone else into a multiplayer game. He's a bit green if you know what I mean.

That's VERY GOOD news.

[Qloos]

That's VERY GOOD news.

He probably wont stay around longer than a game or two. I KNOW ill be available Saturday/Sunday nights and probably fridays. Im also available plenty of weekdays but its a coin toss as my job is rather. . . unpredictable.

I'm GMT -7 and this other guy who might be tagging along is GMT -4. . . I think.

my email is "the84722000 at hotmail.com" pass along the details of your next game(s)

[bdanv]

He probably wont stay around longer than a game or two.

Or maybe he will like it. That's what happened to florin too.

[Qloos]

I demand the glass be labeled "half empty."

[bdanv]

[florin79c]

hi Qloos. nice to see you. i will contact you on msn cose i have msn to and i think that will clear things up. Bdanv know my work time, so he will place the game just right.

[bdanv]

Bdanv know my work time, so he will place the game just right.

So it will be the 12th (friday) or the 14th (sunday) at 8pm GMT to ajust with Florin's working hours, if it's ok with you qloos?

@Everyone: please read the first post for the updated situation. Still waiting for game preferences from you all...
