Recruiting players for a Newbies game (finished)

[parcelt]

Ich, thanks for hosting.

This will be PBEM, right? (can't do direct connect because of firewall)

[Zeldor]

Nah, wanted to make one newbie game too where I could play. If anyone is interested I can make new PBEM game for new people, MA with choosing nations.

No, these will be network games, I am afraid. PBEM is too much of a hassle for both host and players IMHO. Are you 100% positive that your firewall doesn't let you connect? I think I can come up with something so that you can play in any case.

[parcelt]

Too bad. I tried it before, its a strict firewall that for some reason prevents Dominions from making the connection.

It's ok, I'll keep looking for a PBEM game.

[parcelt]

Zeldor, I only now look at your post. I'd be interested in that.

Ich:

I am afraid there is a huge amount of people that have problems with both hosting and playing on network games for reasons that cannot be understood.

[lch]

Hosting network games, that I can understand. To have trouble when playing in network games is rare, unless you are on some ultra-restrictive network. But since I don't expect that somebody tries to play from work, that shouldn't be the case. If you have your own ISP account you should have no problem.

Ich:

I think it is quite common still. Shared networks, playing from work [yeah, many people do that], playing on universities and so on. Not many people have that but it still happens.

Well, in any case, I guess parcelt's spot is free then, if somebody else still wants to join the game...

[Zeldor]

All good nations in MA are taken. And parcelt had the weakest one so he would die very fast anyway.
