Tides of War PBEM

[Commodore]

I believe Ichabod should be back today, so I think that's it for me here.

[Ichabod]

I'm back!

Thanks Commodore and everyone.

Turn oncoming, sorry I couldn't get to any of my games until this late tonight.

[yuris125]

so.... how about that turn?

[yuris125]

Sorry for holding the turn. Came home after a busy evening yesterday and switched off

Also, I'm going to be on holiday 31 January to 9 February. I will have my laptop with me and will keep playing, but play times will be less predictable than usual

Sorry, going to have to hold the turn until tonight.

What will reach 2050 first - real life or this game?

[NobleHelium]

Ichabod, why did you put yourself before yuris?

[SevenSpirits]

I would prefer to have at least some checking by a mapmaker - hopefully we end up testing the mod and not the map.

Based on a few things I've seen so far, I think this game is turning out more like a test of the map after all. It's also stupidly slow for a 5-player PBEM - partly because of turn playing pace but also significantly because it's on normal speed. I'm feeling kind of disappointed because it's not really accomplishing what I'd hoped, which was to test the trait balance in the mod so we can make a couple tweaks and continue on with life.

That's not to say I find the game to be screwed up. My position is interesting, in a masochistic way, and normally I'd be all over that. But my enthusiasm is muted because I'd much rather be playing in a game that's testing the mod, than in a slow, normal-speed PBEM with what seems to be a random map. I'm kind of interesting in seeking a replacement.

How's the game going for everyone else?

[Krill]

I'm not really involved too much, but yeah, I don't think this game is a good tool to evaluate the mod.
