Re: Casual PBEM (looking for players)
 

I am playing Rlyeh and I surely would *NOT* like Oceania to go AI. I do not want to be the unique water nation and in that way, end up having an unfair advantage.

If Oceania doesn't give a sign of life, can't we find a sub or something? Maybe a post on this forum asking for one?

It's the host's call anyway.

Unfortunatly without Oceania's password, setting Oceania to AI is the only option.

Re: Casual PBEM (looking for players)
 

11 out 16 turns in.
No sign of Oceania yet.

Re: Casual PBEM (looking for players)
 

Hmmm, forgot the password thingy.

It's a shame really - and yes, for anyone out there wondering, I'm being honest here, I'm much more interested in having a fun and challenging game than any advantage.

On the other hand, my initial position is so sucky, that ending up as the only underwater nation probably won't do me much good.

It's a shame really. Oh well.

I was thinking... I could try and find a replacement for Oceania, and give him the master password.
If I would then only send him Oceania's .trn files from now on, he wouldn't be able to check on our turns, would he?

Re: Casual PBEM (looking for players)
 

my initial reaction is that it would be safe to do so. Plus, at a certain point, you have to trust people not to cheat. The host certainly could be and no one could do much about it...I think a certain level of maturity is expected, the passwords are just an extra layer of security.

currently 14/16 turns in. Waiting for Caelum and Oceania.

I'll start recruiting.

Recruiting: Oceania slot opened up!
 

To those who came for the opened slot:

Our Oceania player has staled the last 3 turns, without giving any reasons, so we want to replace him (we are currently playing turn 6). Know that you will have a tougher time than usual, because of the time lost (well at least you'll have some gold)!
So if you like a challenge:
First to post here, gets the slot.
I'll send the map & password to you when you're accepted!

Re: Recruiting: Oceania slot opened up!
 

I'm a glutton for punishment. Sign me up!

Re: Recruiting: Oceania slot opened up!
 

Ok, Morkilus it is! Welcome to our game.

Please PM me your emailaddress and I'll send you the things you need.
I tried to attach the file to this post, hopefully it works!

Good luck!

15 out of 16 turns are sent. We'll wait a bit more for our new Oceania player to be able to get the files he needs and play&send his turn.
