Hey all,

Since PBW is down with no ETA, is there somewhere else one can go to start a game of SEIV with others Online?

If not, is anyone interested in starting a new game? I would be willing to host a simultaneous game and do regular (24 hrs) turn processing on my own...

There's a Yahoo email group that predated PBW. You can sign up HERE.

The Last message posted was in October. I guess they have all been playing PBW, but there are still 77 members.

I contacted everyone in the game I am hosting, and we are continuing to play through email. I had participated in a game before the PBW site was operating, and I didn't see a reason for the game to stop when we could play on like this.

I am admin for DiVersionary Strategems game and don't have all the players emails... actually none becuase i intelligently deleted all the mail from them as it was old (and i dl my turns from the actual site usually) so if you were in that game (my pbw name is chocolatefro) just email me with your name (EDIT: email adress actually i don't need to know your name) so we can get going again.

I wasn't in that game... I was in A Little Roleplaying. If any of you are out there, maybe we should try to reorganize.

However, I am interested in starting another game anyway. I already have one other person who'd like to play. Anyone else interested? Just email me at chrislperry@mindspring.com

The settings are debatable, but here's what I was thinking:

Large, Galactic Edge Map
Event Frequency: Medium
Tech cost: Medium (default)
Home Planet Value: Good
Starting Resources: 20000 (default)
Starting Planet: 1 (default)
Racial Points: 3000 (Medium)
Victory Conditions (after 5 years): 80% tech tree and/or peace for 2 years
Simultaneous Movement

I've left everything else at default. If you're interested, send me an empire file. Try to be complete with your race/empire concept. For example: I've played games with people who have specified a primarily mercantile race, yet they are warmongers in the way they play. I don't expect roleplaying (although it's fun) but at least be consistant.

Also I'm open for suggestions regarding the settings.

large is too.. hmm... large lets make it medium and i am in
i mean i don't want 2-3 years game

Medium it is, then.

I wish there were some other takers, though. There are only three players so far, including myself.

Anyway, send me your emp file. And I'll see if I can round another player or two up.

Q) Is this game going to be played in the Gold Demo? It has TCP/IP enabled!
