PBEM game: The first step (Running)

[sushiboat]

I hope that we can play these early turns relatively quickly. Later, things will get complicated, but there's no in-game reason at the moment to wait until the 48-hour deadline.

He cranks out the turns as soon as the last person gets it in. The deadline is just to avoid stale turns and whatnot.

Yes, I understand that. I was speaking to the players, who I hope will not sit on their turns for the full 48 hours.

Yes, I'm hoping we get a few turns done this weekend, if at all possible, just to get this started. Though I have yet to submit my 2nd turn (still at work, argh!!) But in a few hours, it will be completed.

Now wouldn't it be an interesting twist for a game to be started by all players, but at turn 15 or so the host "switched" the players/races up, so for the rest of the game each would be in charge of a different race/pretender than they created? An interesting little twist, wouldn't you think, makes for a "different" approach to starting out, research and scouting-wise.

Just thinking out loud...

I am missing turns for Arcoscephale, Marignon and Machaka. Status mails will be sent once all mail-related problems are solved; until then, I will post on this thread instead.

To Machaka: you might wish to use my dominions2@yahoo.fr too, as that one will let you know when your mail is delivered (it will send a mail with a subject "Yahoo - Message d'absence" and a body of "Your mail has been received"). Using another mail account should do the trick too, or forwarding me a copy of your instructions in private, or a combination of the above.

speaking of delinquent turns...my turn is now sent

[Shmonk]

Ditto for me, just sent mine.
