Sounds really great. I know of one more that would like to participate.
Perhaps we could take the first 30-50 years using IP and then change to hotseat. My experience is that turns, upkeep and synchronising of the computers take to much time after this point. So lets find a day ( 8pm-12pm or so) and kickstart a game...

Well played guys.

Come up with a suggestion for a second game. I need a revance.

I think it worked pretty well. game speed okay. A game could easily continue as PBEM...but not this one.

try get it so we have 4-5 players, play the first 60 turns or so and continue as a PBEM.

Was a weird combo in that game, Peacekeepers and Hive dominating together and for a change zak was actually nice to me ! even gave me some techs for friendship !!!

I also completed my first ever MP ! wooo

Its the question...how do you play the faction. Is it realistic even to consider such an alliance. When playing against humans everything can happen....cause only victory counts.
Try more players next...good idea...who????????

Yes..we do..a lot

Its IP-Online gaming which means it is real time so you have to sit by the computer for some hours.
We have played the first game (yeterday) I lost...in shame...but it worked pretty well. The game was settled pretty fast, but we plan to continue some of the games as PBEM if they are not settled in reasonable time which they normaly are not.
Alternatively one could make a timelimit to settle the games instead of those endless PBEM....suggestions are welcome.

I think it would be great if we could make some kind of tournament...a number of games between the same players. The four of us is a start...if it works out I AM SURE it will attrackt others.

If you are up to it...you are more than welcome.

The next game is not planned yet...but my guess is it won´t take long.

Put an end to popups!

I agree It will not be long... Cause it was VERY funny indeed .
Well played Lazarus.
About the factions Ksev, You can't expect us to play as Yang or Lal. We all have different styles and its not possible that we all create a homemade faction...so in my oppinion : consider human factions as Randomized Faction agendas and personalities. It makes it more interesting too....
I am busy in the weekend although I believe that I can play Tuesday evening ( 8 pm GMT - 1 am ) or perhaps even Sunday ???
What do yu say guys

right now my sundays are totally free, though i am looking for a weekend job since im quite short on cash, however any evenings should be fine for me.

As for settings anything like what we played will be fine, a few more players if the game isn't decided after around 70 years or so when the upkeep takes awhile and the turns also take awhile then we could switch to PBEM

I agree with you about the PBEM-part Lazerus.

I have thought it over..If we can find one or two more players I think we should make a kind of tournament. Then when we post a new thread i think it will atrack attention and draw other players interested in IP-gaming..there must be some out there..hence rb103.

About the rules some modifications most be made of course....I personally think The Empath Guild should be a NO BUILD PROJECT from now on...its to powerfull to get that sort of information without any possibillitys to protect yourself so early in the game.
Other suggestions to rules?????

Instead of the 3 points for victory, 1 point for cooporativ victory and -1 for defeat as used on the Tau Ceti PBEM tournament I suggest another system someting about the victorypoints In-game.

ex: all players get there victory points at the end of game (winners and loosers).
A loser can get no more than 200 points.
A winner can get no more than 400 vic points but receive an extra additional 50 points for the victory.
If it is cooporative victory the extra points are reduced to 25 points each.
Only two players are allowed in cooporative victory.

What do you think?

I think it is more interesting and a fast surrender will no be as costly, and so the games will probably be setles a lot faster instead of hoping for the miracle. Also there is some kind of award for good gameplay with good tech, diplomacy and secret projects in spite of defeat or surrender.

If more players join the tounament we will just make more groups. When the group has played for a defined period of time undependant of the number of games (say 2-3 months) new groups are made.

Sounds good Ksev. I am in...

Agree with Lazerus that we should find more players. 4 or 5 would be perfect i think allthough the upkeep most likely would be longer.
With 3 players its a real disadvantage to confront the remainig two when they have made pactbrothers, but 2 human groups would be challenging....

Hi guys lets make something happen.
I suggest that we start a IP game tuesday 5/11 8 pm GMT. Anyone who wants to join in pleace write the thread.
I hope that Ksev, Lazarus and myself will be the backbone of the game but most importent I would like to invite anyone who is considering trying a IP game. It is really funny eventhough its a bit time consuming.

Write the thread or mail me and I will start a monstergame

could we start earlier or push it back to thursday ?
