let us play

[Yabcok]

If we decide to play with 3 HP only, I propose to play with AI (in attached settings they are off). Alternatively we can wait for more humans.

[luppolo]

i could join the game but need a quicklist of do and dont's for mp games (which version/patch/mods are required,  allowed exploits etc)

[cam91]

I'm interested in joining a PBEM game if somebody is starting one 

[Green1]

Yeah... I have 2 games that I took over for other people that dropped out. While I am okay with Deidre and am competent with Roze, I want to sic my Miriam after someone.

[t_ras]

OK, We seem to have 4 players =PBEM!
Just staue your factions and setting, so we can begin.

[Green1]

Miriam

[cam91]

How big is the map? Standard? I think I'll probably go Peacekeepers.

Hi,

Please note that I’m already engaged in Rising Sun. I would be delighted to join another game, but unfortunately I’ve got not enough time for that – the rules I follow are strict – one game at a time and no option for anything more.

Have a nice game!
Y.

Thats makes it three:
cam91
Green1
luppolo

Now settle for mapsize/preferences/factions.

[Green1]

I am okay with just about anything.

But, may I suggest we do go with directed research.

Copters are okay. My reasoning is there are counters to copters and if it goes that long, it will make everything quick work to end it.

I suggest a small to standard map.

No spoils of war.

I'd agree with that.

I'd say Standard rules but don't restart players and directed research.

[cam91]

So what do we need to start the game? Confirmation from the 3 players?

[Green1]

You are waiting on BU or one of them to light a fire under a CMN.

I think for 3, how would yall like a tiny map?

[Buster's Uncle]

I so duly light fire.  CMNs?  CMN trainees?  Somebody hook these gentlemen up.
