Guiness 2-a-day Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Okay, this is the formation thread for the Guiness 2-a-day, named in honor of our favorite WMD, Paddy. It begins with the same concept as 6p2ad started by Alexman:

Each Player Must Play During Their Slot Every Weekday.

What is a slot? It's a 2 hour time frame in the morning and the evening, that each player plays during - ie, 6am-8am and 6pm-8pm. You play 2 turns a day.

In order to join this game, you MUST commit to playing in your slot almost every day. Any player who does not make at least 8 slots in which his or her turn was present at the beginning of the turn (or 80% of the times in which it was) will be put on probation, and 3 such weeks in a month will be grounds for immediate replacement. In addition, 2 weeks of less than 50% of slots will also be grounds for replacement. Slots on the weekend do not count for this rule, although we expect you to try to play the turns on the weekend as well. The expectation is to have 10-12 turns per week overall.

Of course, we understand vacations and personal problems; if you post and let us know what's going on, we'll be understanding. We just want to make it clear that we intend to make this game fast-moving, expecting to finish in a few months rather than years.

The Slots: (All times Eastern US, then GMT)

code:
A: EST 12-2 (GMT 7-9) B: EST 2-4 (GMT 9-11) C: EST 4-6 (GMT 11-1) D: EST 6-8 (GMT 1-3) Snoopy369 snoopy369 ta yahoo E: EST 8-10 (GMT 3-5) F: EST 10-12 (GMT 5-7)

The settings:

We should discuss them. I suggest a pangea, 70% water, raging barbs, middle of the road water/age, random civs. Anyone?

And for Paddy, the reason for the name of this thread:

I would like to join. Most of my current PBEMs are moving to slow for me, and if I am in one moving this fast I probably won't join any new ones either. I can play 9-11EST everyday no problem. Even on days when I work the most I work from 11:30am-10pm, with 15-20 minutes travel time on either end and thus feel up to making this commitment.

EDIT: ANd I would be positively elated if we used the AU mod

lol, that's a lot of work ...

We'd be happy to have you join, with the caveat that Moonbars also plays that slot in the OneArmed Bandits game (that this evolved from). If he can only play this slot, and wants to play here (which I figure he probably does), he gets it first...

I should post here that I'm more or less giving priority to folks in OneArmed Bandits first. Please post if you're interested but not in that game (particularly in C and E, which are apparently hard to fill slots). But, there are no guaranteed slots yet, as nobody's specifically said they'd like to join (as of this post).

Also, if enough people post here, we can start a second game. Especially if the somewhat hard to fill B slot is already full

I can't play B. I confused you with a mistake I made. In my first post, I posted 9-11EST, assuming the first set of numbers were the GMT. I then didn't clarify this mistake with my second post which was after I realized my error. If E or F ends up available I can do it.

snoop - my play times are around 7-8am and 5:30 to 10pm (est). If that works - OK. But to be honest - this format looks awfully intense.

B: EST 2-4 (GMT 9-11)

this is 10 - 12 my time

I am here most days those times day and night

edit: if I have my numbers right, then I am happy to play this spot

I could also play the C spot, but the B player would need to be on time, so I can get it done early in that spot some nights

that being the time my girl gets in from work, I like to spend time with her each day as well honest I do

Ah, random then. Perhaps we can all go random ... Always fun to have a netherlands-korean-inca-etc. game

If we can't find someone to play slot C (at least one other game they couldn't) who's reliable, we'll just have a 5p2ad game going 5 is fun sometimes, and means you never have a nice boring 3vs3 or 2v2v2 diplo setup, but always a maverick.

Guess who i'm tagging for the maverick ...

If C means playing after Paddy and before snoopy - then I can do that.

Snoop - if I play the turn at around 7:15am est and have it off to you each day around then - will that work? The evening should not be an issue.
