If I could vote,

large galaxy please... I like a little bit of elbow room before people blow me up :-)

Re: Newbie Game
 

36 hour turns are the ideal turn space. I'm in this situation a lot...

I come home, and play a turn early in the afternoon. I do some work. The next day, I'm busy with work until the middle of the night. I go on my PBW. Oooppppppsssssssss I missed a turn, because the turn size was 24 hours and not 36.

The turn size should be 36 hours to make up for people taking turns during different times of the day.

Large galaxy would probaby be best with this number of players.

Re: Newbie Game
 

I'm interested but it looks like I'm finding this a little too late... I don't have a custom shipset yet or really a good race designed.

I'm interested in a PBW but I know I'll be missing some turns no matter what happens; I travel a lot for work. Some weeks I'm on the east coast, some on the west... Some I'm working nights, some I'm working day. Also, on some trips a day or two can go by that I do not have internet access, even dial-up.

That said, a 36 hour clock would be better for me. As I understand it tho, if everyone turns in their moves an hour after the Last turn processed then the game will process then. If that's the way it is, and it only processes without everyone's turn every 24 or 36 or whatever hours then that could work out okay.

If it's not too late for me I'm interested.

Well, since PBW has been down and just came up I guess I might be ready in time. I've got a race designed, using the Xaiti shipset, unless someone else is already.

I guess I'd prefer mostly medium settings, except for size which should be large. Are you going to use use FQM to generate a good map? If you use the basic Version nobody needs a mod to play, still.

Sorry MoTec, didn't see your message in time. Game has already started I'm afraid. I was just coming here to post a note to everyone about that when I saw your message. Next time perhaps http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Re: Newbie Game
 

The game has begun, and I'm the first person to upload! I look forward to playing with you guys over the next several months. Good luck!

Re: Newbie Game
 

And so it begins...

Also looking forward to playing with you guys and getting to know you a bit better!

ALERT!

I just noticed that mitchmaniac's empire, Galaga something or other, is not listed in the Login screen that pops up after click Load game in SEIV. This could be due to the empire file not being added when the game was set up. However, in any case it seems that as of right now, mitchmaniac is unable to play. That's why I vote we restart the game, with the problem fixed and get it so mitchmaniac can play. What do you think Arakiel...after all it's your game, and your decision.
