SO if I'm not wrong the time until now is:
Tilemacho: GTM + 2 Greeks
Steen : GTM + 1 Russians
Kristen : GTM + 0 English
Mobius : GTM + 0 Romans
Mog'Dug : GTM - 8 Japanese
Kel'en : Must be at -8 or something Hebrews
Douglas : Must be at -8 or something Brazilians
Emperor : (Canada) Americans
So the rest please say where you live so that we can start.

Turn sent to Douglas of the Brazillians, 3:46 pm local time.
hmmm, this is the old, pre-"lets re-start" game.
If we do restart I think we need to have an accelerated restart, otherwise, it's going to take me 200 years just to get to where I want to place my first city, think of my poor japanese people, having to trek across the desert for 200 years! Hey quite snickering over there Herbrews!

I also agree with accelerated start but Kris already said that this will be a normal game...
Kris, have you changed your mind?

I agree, that if we do not do an accelerated start we should keep playing this game.
I can see the promised land over those hills there, it looks plush and green.
wish we could do something about these long turn turn around.
The history of the Japanese people, as recorded by Mog the first:
Damn, this desert is hot, said someone. yeah, I dont much like it here, either, said someone else.
so we're trekking across this huge expanse of desert, we can see plains before us, and after that some hills, and the promise of milk and honey after them hills.
We dont have much of a culture yet, though the other day one of us killed a lizard by smashing it's head in with a rock. This caused quite a bit of excitement.
If only we knew the secret of the Red Flower, then we feel that we could really get some progress done.
hmmm, it seems that one old bearded guy here has been spouting out alot of nonsense about gods and what not. I dont fall for any of that, but it keeps the murmuring down to a minimun.
I just worry that I'll leave our camp one day to forage for food and I'll come back and everyone will be worshiping a gold giraffe or something.

I think we should start a new game, one which utalizes time zones.... Figure out what time zones everyone is, give them an hour, so we can have a garenteed one turn a day for everybody....

"give them an hour"? that wont work. well I have my doubts, i'm willing to give it a try, I personally hate having to adhere to a schedual like that.
though I thought we were organized according to time zones.
I think constant badgering of habitually late turners is in order though.
I am commited to doing a turn a day, or every other day, even, but waiting more than half a week to move my settlers one space is annoying.
what's the hold-up? is it still holiday blues? well that's an excuse, if we can look forward to a faster turn around soon.
I check my mail, pretty much all day long, most of my work is done over ther web, so I'm on alot. (here's my webpage. http://members.aol.com/sporeboy1/index.htm )
Aren't we all commited to checking our mail several times a day, and handing off the turn as soon as we get it? Anything less is disrespectful of the other players, imo.

I propose this:
1. We start a normal 1.2patch game according to GMT time. Kris would you like me to start this game? You can also create it and then send it to me to start.
Anyway please send mean email to check if something is wrong with our communication.
2. We play test the Dutcheese senario (which is an accelerated start) to see if we like it and then start. Or if someone already has an accelerated start we can try it out.
I dont think there will be a problem to play 2 PBEMs the same time if we want to. What do you think guys???

double check your email, make sure there is no problem on your end Tilemacho. I double checked the email address and have it right according to whats here on this site. I re-sent the turn 1 to you, if you get it, please let me know. Thanks, Kris.
As for your last suggestion, sounds good to me. But u might wish to at least stagger the games by a day.

Turn1 -> Kel'en
Kristen I only recieved your mail the second time. (That is 4 hours ago)
Hey guys I realy dont think that we can go on with this game!!!
Mobius(GMT+0) is after Kel'en (GMT-8) and
Steen (GMT+1) is after Emperor (GMT-8)
it will be a miracle if we complete a turn in a single day ever........so
I VOTE FOR RESTART........and you? Please let us now.....soon

To avoid any confusion, I think we need to have all times in GMT. That would make this
8:13pm GMT.
I usually check my mail several times between
GMT 8:00pm (20:00 eurotime)- 4:00am. (4:00 eurotime)
I guess we do need a re-start given that the times seem a bit messed up. I don't think we should do 2 games at the same time, that's only going to get confusing.
Lets' re-start according to when we're actually available online, everyone just post your times in GMT format and we'll make a list.
Gigantic map seems a bit large, since I'd like to meet some other players sometime before summer, How would everyone feel about using a large map instead, just to get things going?
also, I still vote for an accelerated start, but I understand why people hate them.
So my vote:
GMT 8:00pm (20:00 eurotime)- 4:00am. (4:00 eurotime)
large map
few barbarians
few resources (to make resources more important )
accelerated start
young world, with fewer diversity. I love those huge mountain ranges you get this way.

Please send me your GMT time zone for when you are most likely to check your mail, and I will place you in the game according to when u check it. That way we can get maximum play out of a day.
