A new MA game
 

Hi
We are setting up a new MP game in a few days time. Curently, 3 players are ready (Machaka, Bandas Log and Pythium). We used to play with the following rules:
-at the begining, we play 3-4 turns/day
-later - 1-2 a day
-we used to play on weekends (we start usually on Sunday and play a few hours till 10-15th turn and then slow down:)
-we play "rpg" kind of game, with pacts, alliances, NAPs etc. What is important, pact once signed MUST be obeyed. Sometimes we say that there is an alliace lasting 10 turns. Or lasts until someone rejects this but with for example a 3 months notice. etc
-banned nations are nations spreading diesies and similar. Nations starting in water are allowed, but there are not many water provinces on the map, so its not the best idea to take them. But its allowed of course http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
-we play on random maps, with +-20-25 prov/player+ computer player, one per player, level mighty
-indies are at 7
-starting prov 4
-res normal, luck common, renaming allowed, HoF15
-we are thionking about playing WITHOUT graphs...but it is up to disscucion
-we are looking for a game with 4-6 experienced players
-we are located in Poland, +1GMT
-we have a server so there is no need to send emails etc
-we communicate via Skype
-we play v3.04

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at "biuro (at) mathilde.pl"

Re: A new MA game
 

I was wondering about skype. I know some people use IRC but Skype would be way cooler. You do voice and are all on the same channel?

Re: A new MA game
 

Yes it is possible but you usually negotiate only with one player at the time:)

Re: A new MA game
 

I like to join but I can´t contact you can you post other email direction ?

Re: A new MA game
 

Ramiro - check your messages:)

Re: A new MA game
 

What´s skype?

Re: A new MA game
 

I can´t see your mesaje ... please send it to
ramiromartinperez@yahoo.com.ar

Re: A new MA game
 

Im in as marignon unless you change your mind about spreading disease in which case i'll take ctis.

Re: A new MA game
 

Id like in, with Abysia.

I thought C'tis was bugged in MA anyways.

Re: A new MA game
 

It is, im just weird like that http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: A new MA game
 

Skype is a VOIP service

Re: A new MA game
 

You do realise that this might not be very helpful to lots of people (including me), don't you? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Actually I have a (very) vague idea of what skype might be, and from there I might venture an ever vaguer guess of what a VOIP service might be, but boy are there many ways to guess wrong. ( http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif²)

Re: A new MA game
 

Voice Over IP
Its a variation of using IMs to chat during a game, or using IRC for a public chat. You see people on tv using voip while they play shoot-em-up console games alot. It gives them basically a conference phone call. Everyone can talk on the same channel, or can just use voice to talk to each other individually.

All of these are alternatives to complaining about the "wait a turn for an answer" message system that Dominions has.

Re: A new MA game
 

I´d like to join the game. altrough i dont have skype

Re: A new MA game
 

All you need is a microphone. Or a webcam. or anything else that puts sound into the computer. You can get one for about $20 if you dont have one. (the skype software is free)

I feel that I should make a recommendation here for "Team Speak" www.goteamspeak.com which is an older and more stable version for gamers.

Re: A new MA game
 

Hello again!
We will start our next game in a week or maybe 10 days time. We are at the moment in turn 52nd fighting with one of the players;) SC are showing up so the game will end soon...

You can take cits but Im sure you will be first to be anihilated so think twice:)

Skype is not neccesarry but is quite helpful. We mainly use it as a chat service (not everybody speaks fluent english) - it just makes our lifes and negotations easier.

Please, send me your emails so Ill let you know when we are finished.

Ramiro: email send

Re: A new MA game
 

Hey everyone , I will be play in this game Shinuyama.

Re: A new MA game
 

I´m not sure if I´m in this game. Sent a mail but didn´t get any response.

Re: A new MA game
 

Manuk: email has been already sent.

Re: A new MA game
 

At the moment we have:

1). Manuk: ???????
2). Zolharm: Shinuyama
3). Kojusoki: Machaka
4). FAj: Abbysia or Cits
5). Shovah32: marignon or cits
6). ramiro:???
7). Blofeld:????
8). Pawel:?????

I think it is enough - even when 2 players will change their minds it will be still fine.

Please, send me your emails addresses at biuro(at)mathilde.pl so Ill let you all know when we are starting

Re: A new MA game

As far as now we have 7-8 players. There will be 15 prov/player, no AI, Indy9, res probably easy. Any suggestions?
