FAST C3C PBEM game USA Evenings Remove this text

edit: Look down a ways for more current info.

Heya, looking for another player or two or three to play a FAST game. By "Fast" I mean is able to play at the same time usually each day often several turns. That time is between 1900 and 2359 Eastern Time. If you're on during the majority of that time most days then that's good enough for me. Basically I don't want this to be another slow maybe-one-turn-per-day game. I'd also like occasional "blitzes" which would be on Saturday at whatever time is convenient to all - not every saturday, just occasionally, like once a month or twice a month if convenient, where we put out 10-20 turns that day (depending on response time - did one today with as low as 1 minute response time for some turns )

Anyways, settings would be something like this:

Standard world (assuming 4-6 players)
Continents, 70% water
Monarch level
No AI's
Random other settings
Any civ is up for grabs
Accelerated Production

Any other options are open for discussion (ie I can't think of anything else at the moment, but I'm tired

I have 2 maybe 3 people right now, meaning there are 3 to 4 slots open, of which 2 are needed to start the game. I'd love to start it ASAP (Maybe tonight if enough people join in!

Please post time availability (regular), what civ you want, and your opinion on anything else I said here. Or, for that matter, your opinion on anything else period. I love off-topics.

My availability: 1900 EST to 2400 EST, and a turn 0700 EST to 0715 EST most days. All day Fri+Sat most weekneds.

Hi snoop. I e-mailed you as well. I'm up for it. But I would vote for small maps. And random geography. Personally, I think continents suck in MP. Takes a five player game and turns it into two games - one with 3 and one with 2. May as well play an on-line ladder game. Same applies with 6 or 7 civs. I find continents are OK in SP with a lot of civs, but for MP I would vote for pangaea or islands.

I have a small essay/rant written aboyt this. Maybe I should post it and see what others think.

Definitely. Anything that makes for good reading material AND a good discussion is good to me.



Random it is then, unless other people have strong(er) feelings about this. I actually like archipelago but I get the idea most people don't like that, which is why I suggest Continents.

Got spare money?

cool, i'll give it another day or so and confirm that everyone who wanted to play a few days ago still does.

We'll aim for at least a turn, possibly two, to be completed generally during the evening but sometimes in the AM as well (not whole rounds necessarily but several turns, since several of us can play in the AM).

So far who I have marked as interested:

Snoopy369 (definitely)
Swissy (definitely)
MFCamillus (definitely)
Smellymummy (maybe)
Beta (maybe)

All of you can play at least some turns during the 1800-2200 EDT time period. MFC, Beta, Swissy, and I at least sometimes also have turns in the early AM time period (likely the order for that would be Me - Beta - Swissy - MFC-SM based on estimated time in the AM).

If you're all still interested I'll start a game tomorrow sometime, I'm off all day tomorrow so I can do it whenever. I will start a game when I do with the following:

Small Map
Random geo settings
Accel. Production *
No Barbarians *
Monarch Level
No AI
Any civ (some of you have indicated preference, if you haven't email me)

C3C 1.22 will be used, since you all have that afaik (Beta, if I understand right you'll be able to fix yours, just takes time you don't have right now, yes?)

* means a setting that's up for debate and can be changed if anyone has objections. Random, small, those are pretty fixed unless we get more players (standard if six-seven maybe?)

And please email me and/or post your emails. My email for those of you who don't know it already (well, probably none of you but Swissy I guess) is:
snoopy369 (shift-2) yahooooooo (daht) com
(ok, I get way too much fun out of figuring out better antispam techniques )

Tired of ads?

k started, 4000bc on to MFCamillus.

How it works:
* Monarch Level
* Random Geo
* Small Map
* 3 players
* Sedentary Barbs
* Accel Prod.
* Greeks = snoopy369, Sumerians = MFCamillus, Byzantines = Swissy (from what I recall you all asked for); in that order.

Good luck

Yes indeed. We are zipping along. It is nice to have a game to a point where you can accompish at least a little something with the turns.
