Default Re: PBW \"newbie game\"

Got my Dragon shipset set up and sent it to PBW. Am ready to rock.


As for our newbie game 1: I wouldn't mind either way (to continue it or not). I am in three PBW games now, and with Newbie II it will be four games. Though two of the 3 games now only take me 5-10 minutes a day, the third one (starting with 5 planets and 20 races) is already taking me over an hour a day. So I'm worried that as we get further ahead in the other PBW games, SE will really occupy my whole day, and I'll be shot by my girlfriend.

So I guess on second thought all in all I'd prefer cancelling Newbie I and playing quickly through the initial stages of Newbie II. But since we don't have exactly the same players in both games that would be unfair to those left out in Newbie I. Perhaps Phoenix can up the limit on Newbie II to 5-6 players so they can join too...if only Capt. Spoogy sent in his turns faster !

Yeah, for all his impatience before the game, Capt. seems to be rather tardy now

In any case, if you need to drop out I can just kick ya and let the AI bungle it's way through the rest of the game. Or you could abandon all your planets, same deal.

I work 12hr shifts TUE-THUR 7pm-7am, so I don't get home till 7.30am and then sleep for a few hours...

I'll try for two turns now...

Starting tomorrow, I'll be able to play an unlimited amount of turns! I promise!

The few hours I'm home I try to get more than 1 turn in, but it keeps having bad turn execution, and then it's not fixed until I'm at work and I can't do anything about there...

Aha, I've already played two turns in the Last five minutes, see...but I guess that this game is toast - since everyone went to play in Newbie Practice II...

Nah. I've in three so far, and am playing all three, soo..

Just make sure to TELL me if you stop playing, so I can tell the system not to wait for you.

I really, really want to play! It's just that turn execution error stopped me from getting multiple turns in before I had to go to work, but tonight is my Last night, so I'll have lots of free time during the weekend (It's a long weekend in Canada, HAPPY CANADA DAY!)

I was getting into my one planet start - I've already colonized another planet!
