Oh, and if anyone else happens to want to join, just mention it. I'll bump up the # of players (right now it's at 4, and full)

I think I want to join too (unless you already started of course)
I think I am still a newbie... I started my first PBW game 3 days ago (so we're still on turn 3) and it's going a bit slow..one turn a day, I figure I can play 2 or 3 PBW games in parallel.

Can you up the max to 5 or 6 players?

It's not letting me do it. It says the game has already started, even though it hasn't.

Keep watching here though, as the two people that joined after me are being a little slow to upload. I may have to boot them to get the game running.

Phoenix-D - I'm so excited to play my first game and those other two are taking forever!

Boot them and add two new and faster players!

I think I've got this figured out now.

I kicked the slow player that hadn't posted here. BUT now the control system thinks the game hasn't started, so I can change the max players!

So if the game goes to x/x (eg: 4/4, 5/5, etc), AND the players are approved, it is marked as "started" regardless of whether the empires are actually in or not.

In the future, I simply won't approve myself until everyone else has an empire in, so this problem doesn't show up.

Dragon has joined and uploaded his empire. Waiting on you, Saxon.

OK, does anyone ELSE want to join? We've got a slowpoke, and personally I'm not the most patient admin in the world

spoogy: Dragon is using a custom shipset. Make sure you have it (it's listed in the game, under his name).

I just sent you an e-mail requesting you to boot Saxon - he's just too slow. I'm really eager to get slaughtered!

How fast is the turn over supposed to be?

If it's not too fast I'll take his place.

It's 24 hours - so just one turn a day...join please!

Of course, it's Phoenix-D's game but I'm just so desperate to try the game against other real players!
