No problem ric. Just wished you had let someone know. We will add you back in. You had indicated an optimal play time of 9:00 to 12:00 gmt, which puts you the earliest (or latest) to play. Adding you back in - and now Rhoth has to find another picture.

Final final play order:

ricketyclik - India
Longshot - Korea
Beta - Russia
GhengisFarb - China
Rommel2D - Mongols
Wittlich - Arabs
Rhothaerill - Japan

SR - here are my answers:

1. Monarch
2. I like the small, 70% water. Let's get some interaction going quickly.
3. You can start with ric now.

Once again - thanks Sir Ralph.

By the way, for 7 players I'd recommend standard 80%. Small would be a tad bit too "dense".

Well, the "silent" rule doesn't kick-in until the game actually starts...So get it out of your system now before the first player plays his turn.

Back on track with actual playing, Witt I assume you have my email address. I have ricketyclik's, though I've had a little trouble sending to it in the past. Hopefully that won't continue.

Does everyone else have the emails of the person they are sending to so we can start this game right up without any hitches?

Oh, and for the record, the movie that my Gandhi II picture referenced was called 'UHF'. It was kind of an obscure 80's comedy movie. It wasn't laugh-out-loud funny, but it had it's moments. Arnelos had posted that picture in an AAR he was doing while playing India so I swiped it from him.

Info sent to SR to set the game up - and here is a little Surprise!!

Since I am organizing this game, I have exercised my extremely limited authority in one respect. I have picked names and titles for us all. There is a decent web site, with links, that I found with historical leader names and the like.

Used it with a bit of artistic licence to come up with your name.

I like surprises.

I did roughly the same thing when setting up a map for my Tabemono teammates. Kloreep was the Food Nazi, UnO was the Evil Mercenary, ZargonX was the Swamp King (in-joke from the first Tabemono PBEM ).

Gee, I hope the game doesn't technically start until ric opens the turn...

Are we going with basic IC etiquette? The 1-2 options are not an issue with silent mode, but how about the rest? And battle reports?

IC? 1-2 Options?

I say no to battle reports. This is a silent pbem - and that is part of the fog of war.

Save is on its way to Emperor Farbu of China.

That would be the Iron Civer stuff that covers exploits- You included a link to or a quote from it in your topped thread...? (and it's in my .sig)
[edit: apparently you never ended up putting any of it in your thread, I just remember you asking if you could...]

Since the idea behind a silent PBEM is to mimic the SP experience by eliminating player discussions, I fugure combat reports would be a natural because they fill in the information you would normally see in a SP game but miss because of the PBEM game engine's design. This lost combat information was never intended to be part of the fog of war, it just would have been too much work for Firaxis to modify the original game for PBEM.
