I'm pretty sure they run one after the other.

Chrisp- I leave tomorrow for vacation, so you should probably recruit 1 more person

Also, when you pick a map can you let us know? I like to try out my builds on the map itself to get a feel for them.

Also, please link to it as there are TWO world of geometries :*(

Well, I was hoping to run them all concurrently; to avoid bias due to people learning about the nations and the map.

Remember the games will all end on turn 50; so hopefully we avoid a lot of endgame madness

Also, we will give everyone enough time to get turns in.

With those considerations, what do you think Jazz/Frozen I'd like to try to do these concurrently. But I'm not inflexible.

Ideally, if you can spend 3 hours on a turn, it should matter whether it was one game or 6. We just have to extend the turn deadlines appropriately.

I can't reasonably take on the responsibility of 6 games at once. I could probably swing 2, since they have a 50 turn limit cap, but 6 is too many. I tend to do a lot of research for my builds, and I usually draw up scenarios in practice games when I'm trying to figure out how someone else's units will fair against my own.

I must have misunderstood...

I thought we would play one game at a time and then rotate to the next Nation. We would in effect play 6 games but one right after the other.

From what I am reading here we are playing 6 games at one time. There is no way I can devote that much time in a bloc to D3.

I have a business to run and I am out of town on weekends playing ball.

Let me know if I am misunderstanding the setup.

However, my take on this is that we shouldn't know the map until we start the game. Why would I want to play someone who has already mastered that particular map and thier nation. But then I am not that good a player soI wouldn't know what I was doing anyway!!

well this is not good.....

6 games at once is pretty intense. I mean, if we have like a 72h timer on all of them, and give a ton of delays i suppose we could probably do it. I can do them at once, maybe, but i agree, that's a LOT of work. i also thought we rotated.

unfortunatly, i see this game dissolving realy quick. maybe we could compromise at like 2 or 3 games?

This isn't a problem - I can go with whatever everyone ones whether its one - or six.

Why don't we all just say the maximum number of games we can do -And whoever is the lowest, we'll just peg it at that?

Doesn't matter to me! So when do we pick our other nations?

If you gowith max two games at same time, then I would be interested in this If that would be the case and you have room for me, then I think one MA nation would be in order. Instead of my usual Pangaea ( ) I would in that case like to suggest MA Marignon
