PBEM6: E-MAIL & TECHNICAL ISSUES

[scooter]

Just a thought for you guys... If you're banning Fin/Phi leaders, playing no tech trading, and playing PBEM, I would recommend Quick speed. Tech-wise quick speed is probably going to feel like normal speed. Normal speed with those settings has the distinct possibility of killing enthusiasm because the pace of the game will be extra slow. You don't know (neither do I) what the map will be like, so if maintenance turns out to be high on top of all that, you're talking about a really slooooow game all of the sudden.

Usually the main drawback of quick speed is that military units obsolete quicker meaning war is less desirable, but this is basically cancelled out by no tech trading, and it is further cancelled out by getting rid of the best two teching traits.

Personally, I still prefer normal when it's all said and done...but that's just me. Again if somebody really feels stronly about quick I'm open to it.

K so it looks like Normal speed.

For the Restriction Poll we had:

A = 2
B = 1
D = 2

@The Reverand Doctor - Care to cast your vote again for either A or D?

Order to play/pick can I get some feedback there aka:

Does anybody see an issue with play order?

Shall we pick in reverse play order, or ranomize the pick order?

A.

Play order is good with me. I'd go with reverse play order for the snake pick.

K just waiting to confirm picking order than we can get started on that! Remeber no FIN/PHI Leaders is our restriction!

Still voting for randomizing the pick order, but if I had to choose from either turn order or reverse turn order, then I would of course go for turn order since I get the first pick.

Let's randomize the snake pick order.

No FIN/PHI... that will be interesting....

You're listed first in the turn order but we'll be randomizing who actually goes first in the game and follow the same above order. So if Nakor get's picked to go first, you'll go last!

Ah makes more sense now. I'm fine with reverse turn-order then, if chosen.

[athlete4life10]

K so,

Nakor and Jowy both voted for randomizing picking order so I'll throw my vote that way just so we have a majority and can get picking!

I'll get someone to randomize it!

I PM'd Sunrise (I'm hoping he won't mind) to randomize our picking order. I didn't notice any "major" RB name around so I figured since he was doing our map he won't mind. Hopefully we'll hear back soon!
