New PBEM

So 5 HP, no AI. Sounds great!

And what about the map? Do you vote for Standard or Large one?

My game window is 7-11 pm CET, but I'm at home (and therefore I’m able to make my turns) approximately 4 or 5 days a week – I hope it’s not a problem.

With 5 players, I think a large one will be good.

I believe Bodissey hails from France, at least from before we left the Earth. Is that true? What's your preferred time of the day, buddy?

In that case Wiglaf goes first and the other four live in the same time zone. Arma would probably go last (7-12 pm), before him Yabcok and me (I also work at home and can usually play 3pm-3am).

You guys can pick your factions, I honestly have no idea what to do yet. Yabcok scared me with his Cultists  , so maybe I'll break my own rules and go for either Yang or Domai.

[Bodissey]

Yes my time zone is GMT+1. 

I can play during the evenings if I'm not out. But I need to wait until the kids are pretending to sleep. 

My turn rate can vary between one every two days to several turns if everything runs smoothly.

I would prefer a large world and I enjoy playing either the Gaians or the Drones but I'm not too serious about that. Any faction will do.

[Yabcok]

So please correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems we have all the settings and rules already negotiated!

What we need now is someone who will be so kind to do all that work with preparing the game for us... Any ideas who to ask? T_ras seems to be very busy with all the games he has already hosted or is taking a part in, I haven’t noticed Darsnan anywhere around, so I guess he has finally retired... But maybe he hasn’t? To tell the truth, nearly all the people I still have in my mind (not only as CMN’s, but first of all, as active players), retired long time ago...

I'm afraid that's the worst part. t_ras is RLing these days, Darsnan and others are retired like you say... I hate to break it to you, but we may be on our own.

[Buster's Uncle]

Begging PMs and emails are in order...

[Yabcok]

It doesn’t sound too optimistic... I guess there is no point asking CMN’s, who have already retired, so the only rational way is to ask T_ras to add us into his queue and then patiently wait...

[Buster's Uncle]

Try everyone anyway, I say.  What's to lose?

[Kirov]

I've just PMed Darsnan, Mart and t_ras about it. I told them specifically that we don't expect any fancy stuff with cool landing points, so that they can generate a large map, find five more or less comparable starting points and call it a day. And that the passwords may be forwarded to BUncle so that they won't be hassled any more over replacements. I hope one of them will find half an hour needed for this task.

If no, I'd rather play the world map or even a random map than wait god knows how long... I can lose due to bad start or something, just let me play my turn already.

[Mart]

Hi, I can prepare the game.
I should have something to check in a day, maybe sooner if I have everything this evening.

Meanwhile, one of the players can gather all settings that you have agreed on.
If someone has a preferred password, then please write in a pm.

[Kirov]

I think every setting you need is in the attachment but we still need to choose our factions.

As far as I understand, Yabcok is playing the Cult so this is what I entered.

I'm taking Peacekeepers.

Guys, please both state your pick and update this file, then we can send it to Mart in one package.

Thanks, Mart!

[Buster's Uncle]

We love you Mart! 

[Mart]

Hi, so we need 3 more factions to decide. However, Bodissey wrote Gaians or Drones, and any is ok. Wiglaf, Uni, Gaia or Cycon.
I haven't seen any choice of Armageddon.. ?

[Yabcok]

Mart, thanks a lot for giving us a hand!

I confirm I would like to play as The Cult of Planet, so my record (in the document) is correct.

@ ALL
Please be informed that I'm out of the town at the moment and will be off-line till tomorrow evening.

[Armageddon]
