Yet Another P16 Replacement

[Ichabod]

We need a player to take over for the spot of Sutyavarman of Persia in PB16. It's a PitBoss game with 12 players, played in BTS, with the usual bans (more info can be found on the PB16 forum).

The game is currently on turn 2, but I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be a problem about restarting it. If you want to check the starting position before deciding if you want to play, contact me. Any other doubts, you can contact me too.

I'm unspoilt and could take over. But I'm not going to keep a thread going then, probably... no time for another thread...

[Ichabod]

Hey, Nakor. Thanks for volunteering. I'll wait a bit more to see if there's anyone else with less on his hands that want to play the game (not that it's a problem, but maybe there's someone that is really wanting to join a game). But if no one volunteers soon, consider the spot yours.

If you want to take a look at what'd be your Civ, it's Sury of Persia and the password is

Just check the PB16 forum to get the connection info. Game is currently paused while we sort this situation.

I can take a slot if needed.

Serdoa has offered to make the map so we will play on that. This is an idea of map:
1) Several continents, no one isolated.
2) Non-mirrored starts.
3) Due to 2: Balanced but I can't guarantee that one does not feel that the grass on the other pasture is greener.
3.1) Balanced meaning equal number of happy (but not necessarily the same), close approx. of one of copper, horse or iron - stone and marble completely random via random.org giving me a tile-number to put it and it be put on the nearest land-tile.
3.2) Check to have late game strategic resources available, but not necessarily next to your capital.
4) NO pre-placed improvements or similar stuff.
5) Relatively natural looking though I reserve the right that not all of the map will, if it is necessary for balance or simply makes for a more interesting (read strategic) game.
6) Circum-nav available.

Serdoa will set the difficulty depending on the wrap of the map.

The only thing we require for someone to join a game is that you are able to keep with the 24h turn pace. Of course, stuff may happen for time to time, so there's no problem with a pause here or there.

If you have any more doubts, just ask. Here's the forum for the game:

Feel free to create a thread there, if you want to post pictures and commentaries about what you are doing with your civ.

Maybe Nakor would agree on ded-lurking bantams?

If you agree with all this, bantams, I'll confirm you as the second replacement and we can start the game again.

So let me get this you are going to restart the game from scratch and I don't have to be a Crappy Civ combo and I actually get to pick my own?


The Rules are Fine with me Ill be away for a week in June but I should be able to use the wifi in McDonalds to play my turns

Well, we weren't planning on restarting the game. But I don't think anyone will mind if you get to pick a different civ/leader if you want. We have the following bans and picks already (no doubles allowed):

Bans: Pacal, Willem, India, Inca

Picks:

1.Sevenspirits/Krill - Montezuma of Zulu
2.ad hoc - Huanya Capac of Dutch
3.Gavagai - Darius I of Aztecs
4.2metraninja - Roosevelt of Sumeria
5.Jowy - Suryavarman II of Persia
6.Dhalphir & Hashoosh - Mansa Musa of Ottomans
7.Gaspar/Noble - Bismarck of Mali
8.Retep - Mehmed of Carthage
9.Kuro - Isabella of China
10.Mikehendi - Elizabeth of France
11.wetbandit - Hannibal of Egypt
12.Goreripper - Zara Yaqob of Greece

You are replacing Jowy. If you want to change civ/leader, you can see a picture of your start first, to make an informed decision. I'll provide you with that picture soon. And we can actually restart the game, since it's currently turn 2, I think. Better to restart it again and letting you pick your Capital placement, since that's really a big decision.

We usually start spoiler threads while playing this games, those are threads were you post some info about the game for other people (non-players) to watch, see what you are doing and comment on it (comments that are not related to possible spoiler information). A ded-lurker is a person that only visits your thread, not from the other players. He's not playing the turns with you (and you'd get final decisions on all the matters), but they are allowed to give advice and cover turns that you would, otherwise, miss (like due to travelling). Obviously, there's no need for you to actually make one of these threads and everyone will understand if you prefer to fly solo.

[bantams]

Ok I misread you're previous reply im ok with continuing wherever Jowy as started at.

I cant loggin till I get Home tonight in about 3 hours from now Due to some evil person as blocked playing Civ on works Laptop :D

at to the thread Idea I prefer to go solo in these games.

[Goreripper]

Welcome bantams. Please ignore the tech thread and you will do fine.

[Ichabod]

Ok, that's settled then. The password to your civ is

Thanks for volunteering. Any further doubts, feel free to[/spoiler] contact me.
