Re: MA newbie PBEM game
Right, the game is started!
The first turn has 48 hours on the clock in case of problems, but you shouldn't even nearly need that much time. Subsequent turns will have 24 hours.
You should have got an e-mail with your first turn in it, which explains how to take your turns. If that's not clear take a look at the LlamaServer FAQ, linked below.
And finally, some tips from me on making it a fun game:
- Engage in lots of diplomacy. It's fun. Send messages to your neighbours, preferably in the character of your nation. Make threats, deals and alliances. One thing though - if you actually agree to a deal (such as peace for n turns, or exchanging items), do stick to it, otherwise you are likely to upset other players and make the game unfun.
- Post in-character stuff on this thread. See Tuidjy's posts on the "Neo Xekinima" thread for an excellent example of this. I really enjoy reading that thread.
People always say the most fun games are the ones with lots of messages flying around and posts on the forum. Silent games are fun too, but miss out on one cool element of multiplayer play - they're a bit more like single player versus very competent AIs.
Enjoy the game!
