OK all:

I have gone ahead and created both games on the PBW site, with the settings as discussed so far.

Step up and join !

Things are going well. We need only one more player for the "War and Diplomacy" game , and three more players for "Isolation Breakout".

Twenty-four hour turns? Any way that can be bumped up to, say, 48 hours, at least on W&D? When I complete my Quest For Gainful Employment, I may not be able to post every single day (though I'd still try my damnedest).

If the consensus says keep 24 hours, then I'll deal with it. If need be, I can always let someone else deal with the mess that the AI would make of my little commune....

Quikn,
I prefer to leave it on 24 hours, unless many people object. On the other hand, I am on the same Quest for Employment as you are, so maybe in a few weeks things will change and we'll see if we can still manage the 24-hour turnaround.

All: invite your friends, find us that Last player we need to get started !

Well, I just joined another 24-hour game, so I probably should just quit my bellyaching.... (This makes eight games I'm in! Am I a glutton for punishment, or just a hopeless addict?)

Yep, we are in the Ancient game together, 24 hour turns. Will be my first time in an ancient galaxy.

All: we now have the full set of 9 players for the W&D game. We still need 3 players for the "Isolation Breakout" game though.
I guess that one takes a special kind of player to appreciate

We are almost ready to start with the War & Diplomacy game. Do you think I should create a discussion thread for the game here on Shrapnel?
That worked great for the Newbie games, but response to the Spiralus thread has been so-so.. guess it depends on the players.
