PBEM14 Organizing Thread

[scooter]

I believe we said random events off.

We will need to give Plako our civ passwords once the game gets rolling, but since we haven't set it yet, no need to quite yet. Well if you know what you're going to use then I guess it doesn't make a difference. Several games have had people suddenly disappear, so we won't be stuck if that happens in this one if we PM our passwords.

Since it doesn't sound like the creation of a PBEM14 subforum is necessarily imminent, I have decided to create my spoiler thread in the Tournament Reports forum. It's pretty quiet right now and no games are scheduled to close for awhile, so I figured we can borrow that forum for the time being. I figured I"d mention it here to prevent other players from accidentailly clicking my thread, as well as a shameless plug to those who are going to lurk this game (all three of you).

I'll start the game within next few hours. I hope I got the turn order right i.e.

1. Lewwyn
2. Serdoa
3. Sandover
4. scooter
5. Gaspar

Scooter you won the lottery and act 1st.

Initial save have been sent to Scooter.

Have the forums been set up yet? I saw a map/lurker forum on civ general, but didn't check it.

edit: found it.

Turn 0 is off and away! Good luck guys!

[Lewwyn]

BTW are there any times we can speed play through a bunch of turns here at the beginning? I would figure a good time for that would be around midnight for me tonight. For Serdoa and Sandover it would be 4PM and for Americans the morning. Coincidentally, tonight is the only night I could stay up late to do such a session because its Saturday and my wife isn't home.

Yes, no?

In general, I'm at or near a computer very frequently, and I have many windows throughout a typical day where I could play (college student who plays on my laptop). I'll be around quite a bit tomorrow, so I should be able to play turns if we happen to get more than one in.

There's no in general for me, as I have a lousy job which doesn't allow for much regularity. The weekends in and of themselves are no different to me that weekdays, for what its worth. That said, like scooter, I'm in and around a computer reasonably frequently, so if we find a time that works I can possibly massage for it.

At this particular weekend, I'd be available anywhere for the next 12 hours. Sunday is probably out for me other than my actual turn window. Much as I'd like to get through the first 10-20 "hitting enter" turns ASAP, I suspect this is not quite enough notice to organize a blitz session. I'm open to it, however.
