Default Re: calling all players

TCP/IP works!

I went to visit a friend today, and took my USB 512 Mb memory stick with me. That thing is all-around useful, and can run Dominions. I tested it, and it worked. I could connect to the test game I had my computer hosting. We can start.

Almost.
Is everyone comfortable with the settings? I think we agreed on not having Rich, as that would go overboard with 6 players on a map where 6 is minimum amount. Independents 6, renaming allowed, others at default. Picture of the settings is attached for easy viewing. And we will also need a master password, just in case someone forgets theirs. Hopefully everyone still remembers their password.

Did we ever decide on a name? And when shall we start?

I can leave my computer on from 5.00 to 20.00 GMT at least on weekdays, but as I can't sleep with my computer humming it will be off the other time. This also means the hosting won't happen at midnight, but probably at about 18.00 GMT. This means that you have until 18.00 GMT to edit your turns. The hosting days will probably be Monday, Wednesday and Friday when we get longer into the game. Of course, if everyone has played their turn, my computer will host the new turn and, if you were the last one, you will see your next turn just as soon as my computer finishes.

If you don't have any earlier MP experience, READ THIS:
My computer will 'host' when all players have played their turns. Checking your turn and leaving will be counted as "playing one's turn"! To see your turn without the turn registering as "played" press Esc and choose "exit without saving". This means that your orders of nothing will NOT register as having played your turn! If you just want to see your turn and not play it, choose Esc - Exit without saving!
