Hi Dcole78!
welcome aboard Apolyton, and the wonderful world of SMAC(X) PBEM! Here's another good site for PBEM games:

http://www.civgaming.net/forums/sho...s=&threadid=923

Also, if you haven't played PBEM before, Dreifels has a very good website that has screen by screen instructions as far as how to play a PBEM turn:

Hope this helps, and again, welcome aboard!

Greetings!

Looking to start a new game as well (with Apolyton as the communications hub).

I like relatively default rules, but am flexible.

Relatively loose on the Faction, but preference listed as follows: Gaians, Hive, University.

I've only SMAC, no X.

Hmm... what else? It's 5am here, brain slow, post more later if necessary. modowd724@hotmail.com

Hook set, bite, hungry players.

Psst, Darsnan: Dcole78's been around since 99-07.
Psst, Dcole78: Where y'been man!?

I could get into a new game, but I would much rather it were SMAX. FYI, you'all might be able to get SMAX at a reasonable cost not far from home if the following is accurate: Availability/Cost of SMAX according to Dreifels.

Anyway, I could Setup/CMN the game for you people if you end up doing SMAC and can get enough players together. OTOH, I might be tempted by a SMAC team game (with 2 or 3 teams), either arbitrary or "themed" partnerships.

Count me in.

After all of my CMNing duties for my new MPIP tourney, I will need some PBEMs to blow off some steam!

Open to SMAC or SMAX and any and every rule.

Faction preference (first three in order):

- RedHaired B-i-t-c-h-e-s
- Miriam's Magnificent AMAZONS
- Believers

Ooops, those are all the same one, aren't they?!?!?

Let me know when we start. Please use my new e-mail address:

Cheers ... Ted S.

I have time to play another game SMAC or SMACX. Team or not. However I don't think Johndmuller wants to be on my team (that won't rule out playing in the same game though )

lawalan@hotmail.com

anything goes for me.

Alright!

We have so far:

johndmuller - potential CMN or 'team player'
duMa - Gaians - modowd724@hotmail.com
tfs99 - Believers - tfs2k2@hotmail.com
Claw919 - Morganites - d_robinet@yahoo.com
knowhow2 - open - lawalan@hotmail.com
Dcole78 - ? - Dcole78@hotmail.com



My rules preferences are as follows (but flexible):

Map settings:
Huge (or large), random map, modified by CMN
Erosion, Native Life, Clouds, Oceans - average

Game settings:
Default.

Huh... that was easy to write... !

Once again, I say I've only SMAC, no SMAX. Also, 4 players sounds ideal to me, though I won't be bothered if there's more.

Team play might be interesting, but I'll let everyone else decide on that.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Hey, I'll jump in if you'd like one more.

Since it's SMAC, and not SMAX... I'll take Morgan.

It's been a while - I'd love to get into a game again.

Btw: Hi, Ted! Probably don't remember me - you SMACKED (pun intended) Jeff (jlnader@mindspring..) and I in a game about 2 years ago.

d_robinet@yahoo.com is my email.

Looks like we're good to go. All we need now is a CMN to come in and take the reigns.

johndmuller, are you interested?

Last chance for more specification on the settings. I will email Dcole78 to see whether or not he is "in" this game - since he started this thread, I would expect him to be, but who knows? I'm still open to playing a team game (two three-man or 3 two-man) if you all want to go that way, but if I don't see any agreement on that before I hear back from Dcole78, I'll just go ahead and set up the game.

If anyone has a password they want used, send me an email at John's email address and I will incorporate it when I run the first turn. If I hear back from Dcole78 soon I can probably have the game ready over the weekend sometime, otherwise probably on Tuesday (reserving Monday for the IRS ).

Is Directed Research by default set 'on'?

I have a preference towards Blind Research myself. It seems most people like the Directed Research though, so don't let this point hold us back at all.

Yes, it's much appreciated JohnD!

Hey all have emailed him and I am definitly in, hopefully first turns will start coming around soon. So what are we calling this for turn reporting? Also the non-human controled factions (looks to be the peacekeepers only) will still be around correct? Which level are we placing them at, I would prefer talent make them at least somewhat of a challenge . As for teams I prefer to let them develop naturaly as the game progresses, can the hive overcome their problems with the peacekeepers to ally with them when they have the believers breathing down their necks? What about the gians and the morganites? Tis just more fun that way I think.

Also have enjoyed sending in character emails to other players (only those I have located in game of course). Allows for more complicated treaties to be developed and adds a bit of roleplaying to the mix, which SMAC lends itself to so very well. Does anyone have a problem with this? Thanks a bunch this should be great!

If there's room for Arnathalon, that'd be terrific!

As for In Character emails: I was gonna mention something to that effect. I'd noticed in another game I'm playing that there's not really any in-character interaction... it's, like... here's a tech, here's my map, what do you have? Although I doubt I'd have time to go into the intimate detail that the RP1-RP4 series offers (awesome jobs there), including the fiction and all, I would appreciate some degree of role-playing as well, even if it's a few sentences in the COMMS windows.

Yep, kewl, can't wait to start

I think the peacekeepers are still open if you want them Arnathalon, oh we are keeping all the victory conditions open right...? The rp1-4 not familiar with that set of stories where can I find them? Last time I ventured into the fiction forum the spartan chronicles were still around that was a great story (sigh). Can't wait to get first turn...

another seven people PBEM......... should be interesting to see how many would last till the end (and I don't mean in smac rather real players).

	Suffering from ads?

Arnathalon, I will put you in as the Peacekeepers.

Knowhow2, there are only 6 AFAIK , but that is still a goodly number; hopefully, the sticking around rate will be better than usual.

Should still be able to get out the first turn tomorrow (the 16th) sometime.

And i totaly agree to duma:s post about roleplaying.
A game is always more fun with a bit roleplaying!

The game has been finished and the turn and passwords distributed to all players. I set up a turn tracking thread at Yang Goes Native - Turn Tracking Thread. Future postings should be made to that thread. Good luck everyone and have fun.

JEFF! Wow!

I sent you a PM about a week and a half ago - I'm not sure you got it. If not, can you fire me an email? (d_robinet@yahoo dot com). Maybe Apolyton has your old email address or something.
