I will gladly take Hive

My email is: sentry33@o2.pl

Except for rare unexpected occasions, i can play 1 turn/day.

As for game setup:
- I think that 4 players offer lot more opportunities for diplomacy than 3.
- Alien lifeforms i do not mind, any setup is fine
- Would be good to have undiscovered map and non-blind research

Tired of ads?

Sorry for asking a question unrelated to this thread, but since this is the first and only post sentry33 has made until now, I thought I'd ask my question here so as to make it most likely he sees it.

Sentry33, I see you have applied for membership of the Spartan Federation in the AC Democracy Game, but AFAIK you haven't been authorized in yet. IIRC Skanky Burns only allows in members who reply to a PM he sends to possible new recruitees (to ensure people won't join and then be completely inactive). That's why I'm wondering, if you're still interested in the ACDG, have you replied or sent a Private Message to Skanky Burns?

Yes, I am interested and have replied to Skanky's message.

Its just that I am not familiar with Apolyton Forums and how private messages are delivered here (I am used to phpBB forums where I get private message notification in a bit different way) - and for over week didnt see Skanky's post.

Thank you for asking, Maniac.

Please speak your preferred faction(s) so Hobbes can set up game accordingly. Or you prefer random choice?

Welcome, jlederer. if you make a faction pick we can have the game going very soon.

Unless there are objections to the settings suggested in the first post we'll go with those.

I'm completely dry on PBEMs right now and am anxious to get in some more

I'd be happy to take any faction

(I suggest that Hobbes doesn't include the Caretakers or Usurpers - smax games seem to be a lot more fun with them back on their homeworld)

It's a four seater then.

Hobbes is going to give me the crappiest faction to play PBEMs anyway (Cult or Believers, prolly - maybe Morgan) on a lousy start position, to handicap me.

I'll leave it to his discretion

Since Googlie is in, and I've played before, I volunteer to be the in between skills player. Not the Cult, I'm not as good as Googlie, but I can handle Morgan or the Spartans to keep it fair. Actually I think Domai could be interesting (I also like the Gaians, haven't done them PBEM yet either), but while I've never played him PBEM, he almost begs to be played agressively (like the Hive) and that seems out of place here unless we have a huge map, or I have a starting place where Domai isn't threatening - or Hobbes starts Google and I adjacent. An allied Morgan-Domai ready to cut each others throats, now that could be interesting.

Jlederer, you might want to try University if it's your first PBEM and the map is large or huge. Pirates are tough if it's any kind of largish map. The University really is one of the strongest factions, and not unbalanced for a first time (Unless you are an experienced single-player transcend type, in which case I will regret running my mouth). The Gaians are easiest to play, and versitale on any sized map, but can be at a disadvantage to other builder factions. Just a thought.

Thanks for the tip, hadn't noticed about the huge map...I actually haven't played the pirates before, ever :-) so probably the UoP would be a better first choice, I've played them many times in single player.

Hey, if the game isn't set up yet, and if you guys think it's OK, I think I'd like to play the Cyborgs, I do better with them than with UoP.

For Googlies info - I like Gaians and Pirates too (I didn't volunteer for Cyborgs/University ref Hobbes comment, both too powerful). Note to Sentry33 - make absolutely sure you load the Windows XP patch (even if you're in W98 or WMe) from what I understand without that the Hive cannot PopBoom.

Let's add shawn. He's a good player and can be counted on for quick turnaround. Let's stick to the five, then.
