Anyone interested?

I will participate if you need one more. I am a little busy though, so I would not be able to assure quick response for this one. I can always get a turn done late in my day.

I could go for another one if you need players (and are willing to accept one of the people who "brutally kicked" you ).

That's great, i didn't think i'll attract participants...

-NYE- you shouldn't worry, i'm aiming for a relaxed game , as i probably won't have time for a quick paced one myself. I guess you'll probably be nagging me in the next few weeks...

"What is taking Zeit so long!" and "We should have organized it without him" as well as "What do say about ganging up against Zeit?, taking him out will surely speed things up" etc...

Just kidding, excuse my jewish inferiority feelings.

Hehe that would be good thing to do if someone would keep his turns always for several days, we have to remember this

you bet your ass FP wants to play!

PTW has been sitting on my desk at home all weekend while I was off staying with my g/f. I haven't even installed it yet (well, I just HAD to come here first ), but I will when the patch download finishes.

Count me in!

Also, if any of you guys want to set up a Duel or something against me sometime (I'm rubbish, I promise ) then just PM me and we'll sort something out.

Should we start already (i'm anxious to take a beating ) or shall we wait if any more of us wants to join ?

BTW what will the game settings be ? not too large map i hope.

I have no idea how to get the game set up, but i thought we should have as small map as possible, and if we have enough players, which seems so, then no AI as well, to make this quick and painless...

Oh, and i also tought that the landmass should be continents, so we won't take long to find eachother, but sea battles and the likes will be part of the game too.

So, we currently have the following players:

-Conqueror

-FrustratedPoet

-Nathan

-NYE (although we probably have enough friends, so if you feel you'd rather focus on the two games you are already playing it's no problem)

-Zeit

Anyone else?, this is the last call for all GS members boarding PBEM game no.3...

Sorry for taking some time, i was pretty busy with other stuff, but i can clear enough time for this game. So, who is still with me?
The size will be set according to the number of players, and the smallest possible is the best, since we want a quick one, don't we?

Tiny map is too tiny for us, but we might try a small map, it could turn out very interesting.

I'm still interested, although it's possible that I won't be around next week. (Something came up at work where I may need to travel, a rare event but not unheard of.)

As a point of reference regarding map size (and this may or may not be typical), in the Euro-PBM game Alexman, Alva, DeepO, and I are playing, with four civs on a small map, first contact came surprisingly quickly (about a dozen turns into the game, if that). I'd hate to even consider what four civs on a tiny map would be like.

Yes, and it was a bit too quickly if you ask me... I'm pretty sure alexman spotted my city earlier with his scout, but I too spotted his within 11 turns... we're only 8 tiles or so away.

It could be just a case of bad luck, though.

I'm still in.

A small map would be best IMHO.

Small sounds like the most reasonable size to me too, assuming 4-5 players.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Update: looks like I won't be needing to travel next week.

I hope you don't mind if I start putting my hand into trying to get this thing organized. If I have the list of players right, we have (in order of first post)

Zeit
Nathan (nbarclay)
Conqueror
FrustratedPoet
Sir Ralph

Is this list correct?

If we have our players, the next thing is probably civ choices. Conqueror suggested he could play the Vikings, but I don't remember a civ preference from anyone else. (I'm playing Egypt in two other PBEMs, so I could go for Persia or the Ottomans for a change of pace.)

Also, we're thinking in terms of a small "continents" map? What other conditions?

Nathan

	Put an end to popups!

I'd like to be Carthage please.

I'd be happy with all map prefs apart from size and landmass being Random.

Diff Level: Regent or Monarch, but remember that if we set it to Monarch there's no certainty that it'll stay there.

Barbs: Don't mind. Random?

/edit: it's a shame neither of our Belgian friends are in this game - see my sig!

Thanks Nathan, your help is more than welcomed.

As for the civ choices, what will those be?

FP wants to take Carthage, anyone objects?

please state your choice of civ?

That gives us civ choices from everyone but Zeit:

Zeit - Unknown
Nathan - Persia (or Ottomans if Zeit wants Persia)
Conqueror - Vikings
FrustratedPoet - Carthage
Sir Ralph - China

Small "continents" map. Go with maximum land since 5 players may be a bit high for a small map? Also, what about temperature, humidity, and age? Average on those, or do we want something different? And is random barbarians okay with everyone?

Conqueror is kicking my butt in our game. He did get a settler from a hut, which helped, but I've been playing like a horse's-ass (which has helped even less ).

I've lost one city to an archer rush already (we're currently at 2510 BC), if I don't get lucky in the next 5-6 turns then I'll lose my capital as well.

Alva: you'll probably beat me in our game too - not only are you a better player than me, the Aztec.vs.English matchup doesn't favour me.

That reminds me .... I'm off to play the next two turns.
