	trickey's PBEM Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

OK, I suddenly got the urge to test out PBEM. Nothing special, just a normal game, playing a few turns a night, nothing to fast, but I don't wan't to completely forget about my game by the time my next turn comes around.

8 players would be nice, but if that is too many, then just say so.

Standard settings. We can vote on map size, I want the climat to be arrid though, for a change.

In your post to sign up (please sign up ) just say what civ you want, and your world size preference.

And put down you E-Mail address.

Mine is curtis_doyle@hotmail.com

Just take out that _

	Full PM-box? Change here!

I'd like to play but because of the Lunar New Year holiday I won't be able to take my turn from about January 27th to February 5th.

If that is okay then I would like to be the Carthaginians. Standard map size is fine with me. We're not going to get a couple of turns a day with eight players but that's okay.

I hope more people sign up.

Did you tell Unorthodox about this game so he can put it in the sticky thread at the top of this forum? You might be able to attract players more quickly that way.

Whenever everyone else is ready.

Best to arrange the player order on time zones. I am on GMT and can play between 1900 and 2200hrs.

I can start now but I will be away for a few days during the Lunar New Year holiday. If that's a problem for other people I can drop out.
As for playing time, I'm in Asia (GMT +9) but I can play anytime of the day.

I'm up early so its like I'm in the EST so during weekdays I can play a turn at 1130 GMT and after 2100 GMT.

I'm not sure where stswf is

Do you want to try delmars trick of starting three games -you play one turn and score your start site from 0-10 and we continue the game with the best average score and least variance?

	Suffering from ads?

I prefer to just take whatever starting point I'm given. I would rather have a bad starting point and work from that than have a good starting point but then lose it when the game is restarted.

Depends on how extreme a map we go for. I don't mind arid. If we use normal climate and 4 billion age I would be happy just to play whatever starting position I get but if more extreme map settings are used then a chance to restart might be sensible.

If StSwf is in that makes six of us so we could go for a small map with early contact and probably ancient era wars or a standard map with more room to expand and develop and likely wars a bit later. I don't mind which but it may be an issue for players with later UU's.

EDIT: Trickey, when you start the game could you give it a title and start a new thread for turn posts please (makes it a bit easier to track which game is which if you are in more than one).

I just guessed when I saw the GMT-4 and Canada I dont remember where the time zones run Yes I do, the newfies are always 1/2 hour slower. Or was that just TV.

Since you can '0' score a game it kinda eliminates that start unless everyone else loves it. Thats what happened in my game, my gave my start a 6 or 7 and everyone else gave theirs 10 so thats what we played.

Newfoundland is 30 minutes ahead of everyone else - it gives us an edge over other Canadians. Of course, we obviously haven't taken advantage of it.
I'm okay with scoring up to three starts - in a game that will last a couple of years I suppose waiting a few extra days for the real start of the game is no big deal.

Oh yes, TV. Newfoundland doesn't have its own 'TV Timezone' so shows programmed for say 9:00 in Eastern Canada will be seen at 9:30 in Newfoundland.

It doesnt really take any longer. After all you're just opening them up and making sure you arent surrounded by mountains (as one of the players was with the original game).
