	Recruitment Center Book IV Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

...continued from Recruitment Center Book III


Well... a topic about all those CTP players who have got bored playing against the AI and looking for a human opponent and... don't know how to start or join a PBEM game . We all were in that position in the one or the other way once .
So here you will be able to find or ask for valuable information about this seductive way to play against humans called PBEM or indicate your desire to play PBEM!

OK, the old farts playing PBEM games for ages can always join a couple more games as well

There are two known ways to join a PBEM game. Either start a new one or permanetaly replace another player who left on a game in progress.

Here are some basic things you should know about PBEM:

1. PBEM is the way to start a game with human opponents without having to worry about the time pressure:
"Damn I have to leave. I have an urgent job to do"
"Common harry up dude! I don't want to wait a whole life to play the next turn!"
"I am an American. I can play from 1:00AM-5:00AM (GMT). Man, I am Europian and I can only play from 6:00PM-10:00PM (GMT)."
"Is it day or night?"
You can play via email at any time you like and yes you can go to the rest room without having to worry about what excuse to find .

2. Have a question?
a) Do you want to join a PBEM? Post here or post your own topic asking to join a game.
b. Do you want to start your own game but don't know how? Post here or post your own topic asking for people to join in and how you start it.
c. Do you want info about everything except Multiplayer? Post your question to "CtP-General/Help/Strategy" forum.

3. To play PBEM you must have 1.2 patch. If you don't have it you can find it here on Apolyton or on Activision.

4. The Hack patch 1.21 is not required but you can have it installed if you like.

5. If you are thinking of getting engaged to PBEM games then you should know that we PBEM players DO NOT LIKE players who disappear without giving a reason why they did. If you are not sure whether you want or have the time to join a PBEM then DO NOT JOIN.

6. New PBEM gamers are consider people who have a little PBEM experience like just having started playing PBEM game a couple of months the most or had played one on the past but had dopped it or never played PBEM before.

7. There is no 7 point! At list I can't think of anything else right now

I would greatly appreciate any assistance from any PBEM player who is interested on helping this thread work fine! A couple of players who visit this forum often enough to be considered CTP maniacs and do read the posts on a regular basis. Preferable experienced PBEM players who can answer any (almost) question about PBEM.

Any youngblood looking for his first PBEM game experience?
Or perhaps an older player who wants to join a new game?

Milamber: How about join the Monkey game? The americans isn't that bad I can tell you for sure (I lost a whole tank-division under a short war against them).

Right now, the americans are not at war with any and the nation itself is quite strong.

In the crossfire game that has just begun I note that Keygen used the e-mail field not for e-mails but for [Leader name]_of_the_[Civ name]. This struck me as a good idea (I don't know if he's been doing it long...) but I suggest a further addition of the game name (or some abbreviation thereof) - in fact I think [Game name]_[Civ name] might be nice. I say that particularly in my current situation because I am having to load all my turns through single player/load rather than double-click and it would help to distinguish them.

Of course, it won't help me now even if such a change were made but it was just a thought.

	Put an end to popups!

That is a very good idea.

	Full PM-box? Change here!

It's the first time I do that JB
I had long time to start a new game
I though of your suggestion earlier but I put "of_the" just for effect

BTW, I originally tried spaces but CtP automatically deletes any spaces in the specific field so either you go with underscore or minus to represent spaces
