Re: New Game, Utterdark: EA PBEM Newbish (forming)
 

Yomi it is then! Is Footstamp in? I saw him post for R'leyh but do not see him on the list as of yet.

I'm home now so was able to DL the 2 fixed maps and look over the PBEM file requirements.

I'm not sure about diplomacy in MP game here. I looked over Sheap's rules, but I also saw some people considering globals as 'attacks' in other MP game posts. I can see spells like Utterdark being considered as attacks, but some of the others much less so. I don't want to inadvertantly anger another player by breaking some rules I don't know about. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif

If it gives you any comfort you can relax about angering me. I see this as a game and nothing more. Losing is fun. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Footstamp is in. I edited the post earlier to add him, but it didn't take. Added him for real, this time.

Sheap's rules are a good starting point. Every game I've played so far (though, admittedly, it hasn't been that many), diplomacy has been a big part of the game. Forming alliances, etc, is tremendous fun, I think.

Oh yes. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif When I was back in Michigan we used to play Empires in Arms, a very nice Napoleonic strategic game, and diplomacy was critical to success. I'm looking forward to this! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

So, as I said above, I'm heading out of town this morning, and turns will begin either Sunday or Monday. I'll still be able to check the forum, however.

When we get our last player, I'll give you guys the info for sending me your pretenders. I guess if we DON'T get a seventh by the time I get back, we could just play with 6.

Looking forward to the game...

My pretender is ready and awaits in frozen lands...

Re: New Game, Utterdark: EA PBEM Newbish (forming)
 

Okay, guys, you can start sending your pretenders to me at:

jack.lazarus@gmail.com

This is the address all the turns should be sent and received from.

If we don't have a seventh by tomorrow when I get in, we'll start with 6 players. Hopefully, we can start our turns tomorrow night. If not, Monday for sure.

Looking forward to it...

If Vanheim is open I would like to play; this would be my first MP game, How does one email a pretender?

Thanks,

Dave

Check page 30 of your owners manual. It gives the process in remarkable detail. Much better than I can give you http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
