Offer for new game - the last man standing!

[JarlWolf]

Right, looked at the instructions, and I can give out my email, but I'll need the other people's email. Will communication be entirely by forum/email or will we have voice chats to discuss/negotiate things?

I apologize if I am a bit blind with this, just this whole concept of playing by email is entirely new to me. I'm used to playing in real time, (or with the players present rather) for the course of the game, and then we just save the map when we have played for a little bit or so.

Though I am definitely willing to try this though.

Everyone's email should be in the TTT (Turn Tracking Thread) once the game is set up, but you only need to know the email of the person after you in the turn order.  The person before emails his turn to you, you open the save and play your turn, then save it, send it to the next player and post that you have sent it in the TTT.  It's easier than that probably sounds.

[JarlWolf]

Understood. I will post my email in the turn tracking thread. I'm guessing that T-ras will pick/setup the game and map, so I will await his or other's email.

if you get to choose your factions, i think for the second game you should choose in reverse order. i mean the first player to chose his faction in the first game should chose last for the second and so on..

Sound suggestion

[t_ras]

You can choose factions.

[sisko]

ok. we have Hive for SgtSlick in the first game. anybody else?

[Earthmichael]

I am up for a game.  I have a few quick questions before I pick a faction:

1. Do you have a copy of the two maps that you can post?
2. Are there AI players, or is it just human vs. human?  If there are AI factions, which ones?
3. Is this for SMAC or SMAX?

[t_ras]

1) The map will be a surprise
2) There will be AI players, the once not taken by humans
3) SMAC

[Earthmichael]

OK, I'll take University.  On setting up the map, I suggest that the human factions be spaced apart, with the closest factions being the AI factions.

For the second game, one possibility would be to use the exact same map and factions, but each player gets the other position, so that we are both playing the exact same situation from the other viewpoint.  This would also remove the burden of having to set up a second map; the only thing different would be the passwords would be reversed.

What do you think?

[lorddragonhat]

I would like to play 

As for earthmichael suggestions, the all sound good to me.

[t_ras]

I'm preparing two maps with for different types of encouters. I think I'll eliminate the AI. only four factions.

[Earthmichael]

Are you thinking of 2 human factions on each map, 1v1 style, or 4 human factions on each map?

[t_ras]

all for faction on both maps.
As I wrote, you will play two turns each time, one on each map.
The maps are small to get to business fast
On each map you'll have a different "battle feild".
