<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.]

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">PDF, valid counter-argument: I'm using pine for my email. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

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?

Re: Last DOM-I PBEM party
 

Chris says--"no preference on map, rich land, 5-6 independants, nor pref's on magic or events."

Re: Last DOM-I PBEM party
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Talos is pretty much ok with anything. He might prefer indeps set to about 6, regular richness, and 40% magic sites.

Re: Last DOM-I PBEM party
 

Whatever settings is ok with me. I'm a pretty poor dominions player, so my ultimate goal is just to hold on until turn 40 (or when full Version is released.)

Re: Last DOM-I PBEM party
 

King lear are those the settings for the dom2 game? looks like we're close to a consesus on settings.

How about the following set up:
Desert Eye:
40 magic, 5 indp, normal land, common events.

Re: Last DOM-I PBEM party
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Sounds good.

Re: Last DOM-I PBEM party
 

Hum.

Haven't heard from Izaqyos, and just noticed he hasn't posted for days. So, people signed for demoPbEM1: One of us is missing, presumed signal-dead. What should we do? Wait/Continue?

If memory serves, he's posted something about changing ISPs, so that might be the reason.

Re: Last DOM-I PBEM party
 

Independants 6 if no one objects. Magic 40 or 45% sounds good to me.
Dersert Eye map. World Richness either normal or rich, and of course, standard victory.

I've got the game set up, but for some reason it seems that my internet host changes my IP about twice a week. It changed Last night, and then will again on Thursday. I'll post the new one as soon as it changes, assuming i'm awake.
Currently, IP 129.116.46.17
The port number remains 2003

Lets see if this works one more time

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

Re: Last DOM-I PBEM party
 

Well, i had 3 people connect, and then someone pushed start game. For some reason unknownest to me, the game would not let me cancel and go backwards. Hence I had to exit and restart it. Sorry ulm and pythium, but you'll have to reconnect.

so, for everyones general edification, no pushing start game once you sign on, cause this Version of OSX, or this specific mac, won't every go back. So, here we go again.
