Weekly turns seems to me a long time. |
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
If one of my other PBW games ends before this starts I'd been into this. Although I'd suggest 72 hour turns and a ban on treaties between non team members. (to stop 3 teams ganging up on one)
|
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Turn times can be discused too.
Perhpas a ban on any treaties above T&R? |

What about exchange techs, gifts and population between teams?? Think should be Banned too... |

Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
If T&R treaty is the highest level 'between' other teams, then it seems only common sense that they wouldn't trade technology, planets, etc.
1 team so far. Team OZ, consisting of Baron Grazic and Princess Xanthea. Grab yourself a partner & sign up, MB. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif For someone as worthy as you Primative... No, because I would like to win the game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif I haven't set a start date yet, so grab yourself a Partner (which won't bew hard for you) and sign up.

Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
I'll sign... and Thermo will be my partner.
|
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
OK team two is on the board http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
|
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Welcome aboard. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Now, who wishes to join as Team 3??? |
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Sounds interesting. I will play if someone needs a partner.
|
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Team up with Primative, assuming everyone thinks Mid Aug is a good start time?
|
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
My two cents worth.
Anyone got change foe a twenty? 3 good starting planets Score display:- set to allies Racial points-2000 or 3000 makes racial tech less atractive. Event frequency-none Event severity-none Allow Intelligence Colonise everything in sight No trading or gifting, or all allowed between team members No treaties between teams. Make it a stand up fight between individual teams. Turns should start out a litle faster I think, then slow as the turn work load grows. |
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
I like the idea of no treaties between teams (or NA max).
We will have a vote about the other conditions. No events? I should be voting for this since in the Last game I hosted I lost an entire system when the Star blew, but I'm a sucker for disasters. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Someone want to join with Gecko for Team 3? |
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Gecko - You willing to have Dinglehopper as a Partner?
He is a good player, but like me has mostly played non-gold. |

Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Gecko - If you sign up now, I'll manually add Dinglehopper as your team mate.
Looking for Team 4 now? |

Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Welcome aboard Cybersol.
Unless someone else joins first as your Partner, we will ask Primitive after he is back from his holidays in a week or two. |
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
I always wanted a game partner with both rusty spear and pointed spear technology, so that will work for me if it works for him http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Primative - Do you want to sign up as Team 4 with Cybersol?
Are there any other teams who wish to join this game? If PBW isn't up by this time next week, we will start this game via email. Is there a map maker out there who would be willing to throw a map together for us? Tesco, Grandpa Kim? [ August 18, 2003, 00:56: Message edited by: Baron Grazic ] |
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Oups,
Forgotten all about this during the holidays http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I would be honoured to partner Cybersol. Are the specs. for the game set yet, or are things still open for discussions ? |
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
I would like to play in it. I have friend also, but he does not read the forums too often. I think his alias is "Matt Helm".

Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Welcome aboard Primative, Parasite & Matt Helm. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Does everyone wish to send me an email, so that I have your email addresses, incase we need to start via PBEmail.
You can find my email in my profile. |
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Can we change Event Severity = None? I have had some games ruined by events. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
Thanks! |
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
3 People for No Events - Done.

Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
had 2-3 systems suns go supernova in a game. small map, against ai. not all at once, but shortly. i rebuilt. but if it had been humans, i'd have probably lost.
|
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
The Last game I hosted, I had lost a good system to a sun going nova. It hurts but ultimately adds to the game, of course if it was my Home System...

Hey, that gives me an idea. How about a mod for a PBW game where all of the systems go nova eventually?! Kind of a doomsday scenario… [ August 20, 2003, 06:58: Message edited by: geckomlis ] |

Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
5 Teams now entered on PBW.
The game will start next Monday (Tuesday Oz time) If I can't find an unbiased person to create a map, I'll create one and select 'Ancient Race' unless someone objects to this. Better send your thoughts an options you wish the game to run under. Last chance for any more teams... |
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Quote:
Still we need to decide some important things: Quadrant size, Racial Points, etc. I go for FQM, Large, 3000 Racial Points (2000 would be better for me!). |
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
1 sun going nova every turn; 30 turn delay
1 sun going nova every turn; 15 turn delay 1 sun going nova every turn; 7 turn delay 1 sun going nova every turn; 3 turn delay 1 sun going nova every turn; immediatly. 255 systems. how's that for a game? |
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Some suggestions:
Both team members should have the same Atmosphere and Colony type. Trade/Gifts: On, but only between team members. Tech cost: High (if trading is on) Intel: Off Map: Anything is OK with me. |
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
After totalling the Votes via email and the Forum.
Intell is ON. Events are OFF. 3000 Racial Points. FQM Spiral Galaxy. To be made by external party or me. Teams mates will start in same system. No Religous Races!!! Any thoughts on these settings? Quadrant size? (My Vote - Medium) Tech Cost? (My Vote - Medium) Starting Resources? (My Vote - 100,000) Races must have same Atmosphere and Colony type? (My Vote - No) Colonise own Colony type only? (My Vote - ?) Does anyone want to make this Rating game for those players who are a member of the PBW Rating System? |

Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Pairs will be a "PBW System Rating" game.
This will not effect the game in any way for people who are not PBW System Rating members. If the winning team are both members, then they have to choose who the ultimate winner is. Check out the following topic for details of the "PBW System Rating" http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...;f=23;t=009770 |
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Guess you will have to kick my 5000pt no intel race I uploaded. I thought "Upload your race now" meant upload your race now. Our team is Last to sign up (so far), so I can be added back in still on the same team.
|
Re: New PBW Game - Pairs

Does anyone wish to partner with me and we can become the sixth team.... |

Re: New PBW Game - Pairs
Anything goes in atmosphere and type.
So far, 5 people have selected this game to be a rating game. I would have expected a few more, but you never know... I have now created a map for us to play in. Random generated FQM map. All I have done, is selected 1 Huge Home World for each empire, so that the team members start in the same system. The other 2 Home World will be system generated, either in the same system, or near it. Good luck to all. Edit - 5 people not 3 as a rating game.
