Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Gecko,
Thanks, will you guys be soliciting a new player?

Yah know, the more time I have to play with the map....

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, we will try to find another player.

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Gecko - check your PMs.

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Done. Tell him to post in this thread if he is interested...

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Maybe we should try decreasing the number of players http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Good idea.

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Any word on when this party gets off the ground?

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Player list seems to be full.
Gecko, do you know the 2 Last players? Are they from the USA? I think one is not.

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">USA Players

2. geckomlis (Gecko)
3. Mathias_Ice (Mathias Ice)
4. General Woundwort (Woundwort)
5. Gandalph (Gandalph)
6. open
7. open

Both Rojero and Ragnarok dropped out. I do not know anything about the Last two players on the list. I have no way of contacting them.

Gecko

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

I sent both of the Last two players an email explaining the national requirements and asking them to contact gecko here if they would like to play.

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Hey Gryphin, nice to see you again http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
News from our side - we 'may' be able to eliminate one player and have only 6 in the team as all of us are burning with desire for playing. Still it would be better having all seven.

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Hey lets get this game going. And we americans will need to find a private forum to talk strategies and such.

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It's out there. Go to PBW and sign on for the "USA Team Forum" game. It's not really a game, we're just using the forum feature.

Or... we could have two USA players run two empires each and keep looking for replacement players.

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Gryphin, kick out Dreiko 'cause he's gone for quite some time. We have 6 players now and it seems that you also have 6. Let's get this game rolling!

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Sounds good. Who is the 6th USA player... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

USA Players
1. Atrocities (Atrocities)
2. geckomlis (Gecko)
3. Mathias_Ice (Mathias Ice)
4. General Woundwort (Woundwort)
5. Gandalph (Gandalph)
6. ???

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

gamekid90 Killmaster Pending join
He's not on our side so I thought he's on yours. His e-mail is hotmail so there might be some chances he's from USA. Maybe Gryphin should drop him a line (or maybe he already did it)?

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Gecko, don't let him go!
Gryphin, we need your help here. Kick out Dreiko and approve all the pending players + accept the Last one.
Hopefully we'll start this week http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

jfp3, stay tuned and read this whole thread about the game settings or just go to the seiv.pbw.cc and find the forum of the USA players to ask question.

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Ok Gents I'm registered with the PBW system now...name is jfpOne23....

I couldn't get past the games listing though when clicking on the LithVSUsa game thread...

Am I doing something wrong or is this happening to everyone? Game says "Not Started"

Please advise as you are able Gek

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

hehe Ok I'm in...never mind Last post

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Ok, we have six players again.

3. Mathias_Ice (Mathias Ice)
4. General Woundwort (Woundwort)

I think we are ready. Somebody needs to:
- kick the players that are not on our team lists.
- accept the Pending Join players.
- update the game description in PBW, if needed.

Gecko

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Nice to see that everything is fine with the players. At Last! Now we only have to wait for the GM to get back and kick off.
Gryphin, come back fast http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Almost a pity to inflict a future "hurtin'" on the Lithuanians considering their historical bad luck.

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

What do you mean by 'historical'? Historically, Lithuania once was the biggest country in Europe covering the territory from the Baltic to the Black sea! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Every country in Europe was once the biggest country in Europe. Heck, even Albania probably had an empire once... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Yeah, probably you're right http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Yes indeed...Lithuania was once huge...once~

Hence my mention of their bad luck...

Any of you out there play Europa Universalis II?

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Gryphin, kick off this game please as all of the players are ready now.

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Indeed. The Space Dragons are hungry, and hear that Lithuanians are good eatin'... http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung...smiley-003.gif

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Yeah, but watch out for your teeth http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung...smiley-007.gif

Hate to poop on this party but you're going to have to scratch me. Sorry, the slow pace of PBW games in general drives me nuts.

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

AUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHH!!!

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Okay, I surrender. I say let a Canadian (or Commonwealth) team take up the Lithuanian challenge. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Put me in. I'll do it. I'm new, but every motly-crew plot needs the rookie.

And I'm a real smartass, too. I'll do great in the role.

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Hey people what is going on? USA surrenders before the battle? Or should we ask somebody else to be a GM as Gryphin seems to be gone? Or what??

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Surrender before a battle? Not me, friends. I'll fight on alone if I have to. The national honor is at stake. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Seriously, we can do one of several things, as has already been noted.

1) Continue to pare down the ranks on both sides until we have two even teams of people who we know will see the war through.

2) Have some Americans "double-up" on empires until new recruits show up.

So... any volunteers to replace Gecko as our Fearless Leader?

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Now the players are:
BBegemott LTU
Pablo LTU
Angeliokas LTU
nigma LTU
Executer LTU
nirtus LTU
Woundwort USA
Atrocities USA
Gandalph USA
gamekid90 USA
loser USA
jfpOne23 USA

This makes us 6 vs 6. I suggest starting the game without waiting for Gryphin as he looks like is away for long. It's a pitty as he had a surprise map for us. But waiting for one more week is too much. Or maybe there is someone that could create a map for this game today and become a GM?

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

BUMP

Any takers?

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Umm, yeah. I took. Let me in. Let me know what is needed of me. Let me know what my empire should look like.

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

hurry up guys as we have a new GM - Unknown_Enemy - and I believe the game is about to begin!

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Hi again Gents! Well we're finally getting started...sweeeet~~ This is my first pbw game and I think I've uploaded my .emp file correctly...if anyone notices I did something wrong let me know asap.

Also...maybe a stupid question but...are we all automatically allied to each other by country? Sharing Tech and all that from the get go? If so are certain of us supposed to concentrate on certain techs and such as opposed to others?

Let me know please...

Good luck everyone!

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

Okay, someone tell me who Team USA Captain is and I'll find out what my Empire should look like...

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

USA captain has abandoned the ship... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
Check out the PBW game forums - AFAIK there is a dedicated game for the sake of private forum for your team. Maybe there are some details/instructions... maybe not http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Re: Lithuania vs USA Challenge - USA Thread
 

To be honest, I am also ready to pack it in for this game.
