ummmm. I know zero about PBW and am still trying to develop a basic strategy for the game. To be honenst, 7/19 sounds intimidating. Like if I lose, they will say "you really snatched defeat from the jaws of victory". and if I win they will say it's only because i had the other person's start. hmmm. not that I care what they say.

I have not applied the patch yet, tho i have it DLed.

I have a lot of questions about PBW also. anyplace i can read up on that? maybe a bit premature for my SE4Gold game skill.

questions like how many turns a day are expected, who is time differences handled, ect..
My only MP experiences with other games, is PBEM-smac, IP-deadlock2 and hotseat-smac.

Got to the PBW site, registered and am reading the info screen. i got to section2

eplay, but have to stop. getting tired, and going to bed. be back in 12 or so.

my email is on my profile, or pm. or pick another person. at this point, only the pillow matters.

Standard SE IV Gold 1.78 (I e patch 2). Played at 48 hours.

It's played at PBW, all shipsets are availible in one zip file.
Generous support about PBW and the game is promised.

So 48 hours per turn. Many newbies in the game. Good opportunity to learn about PBW, and you won't win/loose atleast before the summer, maybe later.
As the Nyrans stand now it would take atleast 20-40 turns to wipe them out (my approximation, worst case scenario). And to win the game will take propably more than a year from now for anyone (Also an approximation)
