I would like to start a new 5 player PBEM
Settings:
Random Standard map with rare native lifeforms
Accelerated Start
Default for other options
Reply to this thread, or e-mail me, if you are interested. This is my first time playing a PBEM, but I will host it, it seems fairly logical.
N.B I live in Europe, just noting this incase it is a problem for anyone (Time zones et al)

Oops, forgot to mention I'll play as the UoP
Gyllius posted 06-09-99 06:57 AM ET
Count me in, I live in Europe to, so timezones are no problem. First time for me as well.
I'll play the Hive. Just let me know when it starts.
(I can't see your e-mail adress, so I'll just post on this thread...)
Dhengis Kim posted 06-09-99 07:56 AM ET
Im in. I live in Europe too.
As Hive and Uni are taken and Gaians is a dead horse with rare natives, I will play PK, Morgans, Spartans or Belivers. Preference is in above sequence.

Count me in. I'll play the Gaians (I know, this is suicidal ). Also in Europe.

LoD posted 06-10-99 09:56 AM ET
I almost forgot... Two questions:
1.Since I play the Gaians, do I have to start the game?
2. Shall we post messages related to game progress?
LoD

Ok, so we now have 5 players, as follows:
atomic94:UoP
Gyllius:Hive
Dhengis Kim:Morgan
morm:PK
LoD:Gaians
Sorry that Dhengis Kim and morm only get their second preferences but it should make it easier with timezones, PK are last in order and since only morm lives outside of Europe then he can play his turn while the rest of us are sleeping.
In reply to LoD's questions.
Yes, the gaians are first in order so you will get the game first
Don't know,but you can if you want to
atomic94 posted 06-10-99 01:52 PM ET
Forgot to mention some things, again. The skill level will be Thinker. I miss read LoD's question, i think, I will generate game etc and post it to you. Anyway one of the answers should make sense.My e-mail address is [email protected], just realised that I selected the option to not have my e-mail displayed. I will e-mail all players notifing them that the game will begin or you can save me the effort by replying to this post.
LoD posted 06-10-99 02:47 PM ET
OK.
Hehe, those Bible Thumpers are going to get their ass kicked...

Of course I'll play your game as well, Atomic. I think it's best to be in a few games at the same time, 'cause it can take a while for you can play your next turn. So it seems all players are known now, when do we start up the game?
atomic94 posted 06-10-99 05:10 PM ET
the game should begin now as I am just going to send of the first turn to LoD. You should have got my e-mail (sent to Gyllius, morm and Dhengis) unless I got the addresses wrong.
LoD posted 06-11-99 10:54 AM ET
Turn sent to the Hive. BTW, atomic, next time we play and I'd be the Gaians, please change my title .
LoD
Gyllius posted 06-11-99 01:26 PM ET
I did not get your mail atomic, but I got the game from LoD allright.
The Hive has positioned it's troops and set it's goal, University of Planet has been given word that their troops can start moving....
Happy hunting.

Euh... sorry for the last two. Been clicking to eagerly...
atomic94 posted 06-11-99 03:28 PM ET
Turn sent to CEO Dhengis. Sorry about the Gaian prob LoD but I thought about it but didn't know what gender you were or what to change it to. Also LoD send the next few Hive turns to me Gyllius is going to be away until next Sunday, the 20th, and has asked me to play his turns for him.
Mongoose posted 06-11-99 04:28 PM ET
LoD, You can change title, etc. Menu/network/edit faction... something.
LoD posted 06-11-99 05:32 PM ET
atomic94: Wilco. I wasn't mad at you about the name. From now on I'll style myself LoD (without the title - "Lord LoD" would be a tautologism )
Mongoose: Thanks! I'll try it as soon as my turn arrives.
LoD
LoD posted 06-12-99 04:22 PM ET
OK, who has the save now?
LoD
atomic94 posted 06-13-99 12:53 PM ET
morn should have the turn by now, Dhengis only got the turn yesturday, my fault I sent him the wrong turn, sorry. You should be getting the turn soon, probably today, provided morm hasn't died/forgotten/left-town, etc.
Gyllius posted 06-21-99 06:50 AM ET
Hi guys, I'm back in town, so I can play along again. Has the game progressed since last week? Maybe it's a good thing for everyone to post here when they have forwarded the game. That way we can keep track of the progress. For now, I haven't the slightest idea who's turn it is...
atomic94 posted 06-21-99 05:49 PM ET
The game has pretty much been disbanded. I have been too busy recently to keep track of everyone. Also we had some problems with the worn turn being sent, etc
If some the players read this post and wish to restart the game or start a new then that could be arranged.
Gyllius posted 06-22-99 05:44 AM ET
I'm in for a replay, it can't be that hard to send save-games, can it?
