	New Game, Large Map, 8 players Enter the AD-FREE zone

Looking to start an 8 player game in a couple of days, 1 or 2 turns a day. Hoping to have some fairly good role-playing and diplomacy as well. Post here,..first 7 who post with email and civ choice are in. Thanks.

I'll take the Chinese.

Btw, I would suggest that you find a name for this game and advertise it in the "Open PBEM directory" (first thread in the Civ3-PBEM forum).

I'll take Carthage; my email is miccofl@miccofl.net.

Role-playing is cool but if I lose don't expect me to take Hannibal’s course of action. Besides, it makes such a mess.

Accelerated production or not?

2 turns a day with 8 players? Hmm I'm interested, but I work and cannot access a computer for 11 straight hours.

Challenging, but possible if we arrange turn order according to time zones and everyone can play a turn in the morning and another in the evening.

Another possibility is to agree on a time slot where everyone is online. This might not be possible if the time zones are spread out too much. For example, Shamus, are you really GMT or just didn't care to set your time zone?

Very flexible, so whatever the overall desire turn-wise is cool with me,...trying to avoid a 2 to 3 day turn around is all. Got me on the time zone,...didn't notice it was set to gmt,...I'm in Kansas,...-6 I think. Accelerated production unless it's totally blown out of the water by the majority (say 5 or 6 out of 8).

....reset the time zone...

Me too. I think your time is OK. If we get an all American group, we could go play in the evenings, around 7 or 8pm Central, how is that?

And by the way, are you planning to dive into the turkey during this upcoming long weekend? I would be definitly up for an intensive session sometime between Nov 28 and Dec 1.

I work all weekend, but should be home by 6 PM EST, an intensive session or two would be a welcome change of pace.

Would be willing to run for a couple hours tommorow afternoon to get through a good number of turns early....I see that the new patch is out, so hopefully that adds to things (please, everybody make sure you've picked it up before we start.)

I won't be free before 7 PM EST, that's 4 PM on the west coast so I guess thats afternoon...

We still need more players or are we going to go with what we have?

Patched installed, ready to play tomorrow afternoon. One question though: you asked for 8 players at the beginning, do we have enough? If not, what's the plan?

I also started to organize a PBEM game (Turkey PBEM) and I got a few candidates in other places (most notably at CivFanatics) who seem to have free time during the long weekend. And actually three or four of them are from the West Coast (good timing )! Would you want me to ask them if they want to join this game?

The more the merrier...would prefer a total of 8, all human if at all possible. If the guys over at CivFanatics are up for it, would welcome them playing in this one. We have 4 open slots I think, hope to send out the first turn sometime tommorow, so whatever we have we'll go with. Right now it looks like:

	An online game Remove this text

Hi,

allow me to be slightly offtopic: a fellow civver is organizing an online (GameSpy-based) game and asked me to spread the word. Here it gos:

Start time 6:30PM PST
Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes
Password: Epic10


Map Generation: Random
Difficulty: MONARCH
Civilization: Your Choice
World Size: Small
Opponents:
Five..........................................................SIX CIV'S TOTAL
Terrain: Archipelago 80% water
Climate: NORMAL
Barbarians: Raging
Rules: Standard
Victory: Any
ACCELERATED PRODUCTION
TURN MODE

Scenario Goals: Get on your horse and add some feathers to your cap.
Scoring: Ranked by victory condition, fastest finishers listed first.
One way or the other, this should be a fairly quick game. Good luck!

Note: This scenario originated at RealmBeyond and was created by
Sirian.

yeah I should be able to do it.

If possible- the best time for me to recieve the game Friday, Sat, Sun, and Monday would be before 10:00 AM PST. That would allow me to play the turn and get it off before I go to work. And I'd be able to play a turn when I get home about 11:00 PM PST. The other 3 days of the week I am off- and I generally have no life. . Just hiking, and some Neverwinter Nights multiplayer games.

I would be interested to join this game. My timezone is GMT+1. I can play 2 turns a day, that would be somewhere around 7..8am GMT (2..3am Apolyton time) in the morning, and somewhere between 5pm..1am GMT (noon..8pm Apolyton time) in the evening. I should be either the first or the last in the turn order, if all others are Americans. And I can make it for an accelerated session during weekend at any time.

About civ choice... what are the map settings?

Ah, and my email is sirralph_at_gmx_dot_com.

I guess this means that you will explicitly set the map type (and maybe the water percentage). I like the continents/70% setting.

	Respawn Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Do we want to allow respawn of AI players (in case there will be any)? I would vote against it.

Shamus, make sure you scroll down in the Game Rules window on the right when you set up the game, it's easy to miss the settings at the bottom.

6 total, 4 active, so it seems.
