<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well, if no-one else can host easily, I guess I'll host. You guys just have to accept that there might be some delays. And the system is primitive, so you've been warned.

If it is OK with you all playing, I'll give you an URL where to find your turn files when they are processed and you email me .2h-files back. I'll send a note when the turn is hosted.

Um, everyone in PbEM1 send me their email address by the forum's Private Messages, and I'll email you for your pretender files and other administrative stuff when I've got all the addresses? Hopefully you don't have a problem with me letting you know each other's addresses (I know some people who have)?

And for the map and settings, I'd go for the easy road and say the smaller of default maps with default settings, but there's equal vote for all and I'm just being lazy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Let's aim for several turns a week, but it will depend on how often I get all the files.

Anything else? </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Thx http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif ! But if you could also send the turns via email it'll be simpler for all of us I think.
And I suppose we should determine in advance when the turns are due : let's say every 2 days at 9 pm GMT for example (daily turn are too fast for many people, weekly turns won't lead us anywhere..)
My email address is in my profile.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Arco is free in PbEM2, but we're having trouble finding someone to host it, so it may not happen.

[I was going to host if no-one else did, but my e-mail is acting up, so I don't want to take the risk.]

Seriously, done that, been there, it is a lot easier for me to put your files on net than send them via email. Not to mention all the problems with large file sizes etc. And since so many are using webmail, it shouldn't be any different for them.

Yes, I agree it would be good to have agreed times, I for one would say 8 pm UT (UT==GMT, Finland happens to be one hour earlier than France, that's why the one-hour shift http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif ) every monday, wednesday and friday. But I reserve right to delay hosting for various reasons, such as bar, kendo, afterkendo, and other important aspects of my life. And saying that makes the part of agreeing 'bout times a little hazy, so. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif But the guidelines are those. Agreed?

Izaqyos, you are the only one whose email address I don't yet have. Still around and with us?

Re: Last DOM-I PBEM party
 

Well the person I know would like to take Arco, and if nobody else can be found to host by the weekend he will host.

Re: Last DOM-I PBEM party
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That would be cool. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Last DOM-I PBEM party
 

Since no host has been found, the mystery player of Arco will be hosting a 24/7 network server for the game, assuming no problems arise.
He should register on these Boards eventually, but what game settings/map do you want?

Re: Last DOM-I PBEM party
 

I vote for desert eye, independents 6, 40 magic, rich land, and common events.

Re: Last DOM-I PBEM party
 

I second desert eye and common events, but suggest slightly lower indeps, slightly more magic, regular rather than rich land. But really I'd be ok with anything. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Last DOM-I PBEM party
 

I vote Indy 5, magic 30, regular richness.

Re: Last DOM-I PBEM party
 

What about Potatoman, Talos, and your roommate Chris (josh_f)? Not to mention our mystery host. What settings do you all want? and are you still in for the game?
