MP Game - Newbie Game (by Aku)

[Lex]

i wonder if we could get everyone on for a few hours and do a few turns in a night..

[Aku]

It is very difficult to arrange that. We could get close but I doubt we could get all of us especially with all the varying time zones. If everyone did check the game a lot though we could maybe get a few turns a day.

I noticed that T'ien Chi moved immediately after the forced host, which means he is now computer controlled. At least the AI will spend money now on troops and not sit there doing nothing.

Your doing a fine job as host, Klatu.

[Aku]

Well Klatu checked if he could. He didnt turn Tien Chi into computer controlled yet but will do so tomorrow if we do not hear from drool.

[The Panther]

Hmm.... Then why did Tien Chi move immediately after hosting?

[Aku]

Klatu went into Tien Chi to check if he could turn him into AI and Klatu can. We are probably like 99% chance going to have to turn Tien Chi into AI but Klatu is going to give Drool some more time to respond.

Perhaps this was as a result of Klatu opening it up?

I am glad we might have an AI rather than a forced host - both are distorting but AI is probably more fair to those not nearby - it will lose but willl fight.


Oh and since the game is 24 hour host people are entitled to take 24hrs. Of course staling canels this right.

It would be nice to play a game with a blitz phase - several turns on one day every so often but it proved hard to arrange with our other newb game. I guess it would be easier to manage if you start one up with that as a criteria then everyone knows in advance & commits to it. eg 168 hour quick host except on thursdays 2100 until 0000 GMT when its 20 minute quick host.
This would be like a regular weekly FTF game rather than a PBEM!

A problem is time zones of course.


Hmm anyone intereseted in something like that?
