Newbie PBEM - looking for players. Possibly RP.

[CelestialGoblyn]

Hello, I'm a new Dom3 players looking for other beginners to play together. I'm playing in one game already, and I want to try another.

I'm interestend in a game for 5-7 players, with default settings, whatever era everyone likes the best.
I'd ask for only new or semi-new players for this game, not those that consider themselves 'veterans'.

We can decide the details democratically. Everyone that wishes to join, please post:

Era you'd prefer to play.
Factions you are willing to play, you can choose more than one.
Do you want to 'roleplay' or not.

Me:
I'd vote for late era.
I'd play Ulm, or if I can't, then Man or R'lyeh.
(if we play middle era, i'd play Agharta, Man or Vahneim)
(if we play early era i'd play Marverni, Ulm or R'lyeh)

I'm fine with roleplaying and writing a report from the game.

Hi, I would like to join.
Late era will suit me too, I am not bothered to be honest.
I can pick any nation apart from ermor, arco and water ones... anyway, I am still flexible.
And I would enjoy roleplay as well.
I never played mp game like this, just some games with my mates on LAN... I am rather a new player.

*cries*

Why are all the new games newbie games?

I'm new, honest. Never played a single Dom3 MP past turn 12.

Well, if you'll accept me I'd like to play.
I'm not really a newb, but having played only one MP game (that is, I'm still playing it. And doing quite badly), I would definitely not consider myself a veteran.
If you'll agree to accept me then my votes are:
Middle Era - I'm a bit sick of Early Era, and Late Era is not newb friendly.
RP is great, as long as we decide on some rules in advance, like is metagaming allowed? (For example, one player could RP a battle another player would otherwise not know about, would you consider it fair for that other player to attack the first player knowing he is weak from that battle?)
Either way, I think I'd like to play Pangaea, as I have almost never played them

[Hullu]

This would be my first multiplayer so count me in.

I'd vote for early era (but anything goes) since I mostly have experience on it.

If it's late era I have close to zero experience so 'anything goes'. Tho I'd guess Ulm would be closest to having experience there. But I can decide later (or try a SP game before this starts). I don't care for roleplaying as such, though it's doable if majority wants it.

Early era: Ulm, Kailasa
Med era: anything goes
Late era: anything goes

[CelestialGoblyn]

Okay! I'm fine with players that are a bit more advanced, Teraswaerto and Agrajag.
There's five of us already, but I'll wait if we can get a sixth player perhaps.

[Teraswaerto]

I would very much like to play, but so that there is no misunderstanding: I did play several Dom2 MP games two years ago, although not with great success. I wouldn't consider myself a veteran like several people on these boards are.

If that is ok, I vote:

A resounding YES to RP, if you mean in character diplomacy and such.
Middle or Late era, preference Middle.
Anything goes as far nations, I'll pick something no-one else wants.

[WSzaboPeter]

Count me in as a 6th... I love role playing, so that's a definite yes.
Era... Anything but early... I'm in two games, both early. I would like to try some late era nations.
If late era my priority will be: Man if not available, then Arcoscephale.
If middle... Caelum, then Man.

[CelestialGoblyn]

Well, if you say that late era is not newb-friendly, I am willing to switch my vote to middle.
Hullu, would I count you as voting for Middle? WSzaboPeter?

And we are agreed to roleplay, that's good. No one has to write reports or such, but we assume we play the roles of the nations rulers. The extent of roleplay is up to choice.

If we're agreed on Med, then I'll pick Aghartha.
So far it looks:
CelestialGoblyn-Agharta
Hako-undecided
Agrajag-Pangea
Hullu-undecided
Teraswaerto-undecided
WSzaboPeter-undecided
MindElemental-Man
Saarud-Abysia

Pick your nations. After I added you to the list, create a pretended with 'game tools' and send him/her/it to me.

wilf@oliwa.multicon.pl is my main e-mail. If it fails, please use gobly4001@yahoo.com

[Mind Elemental]

I'll be 7th, if there's a slot still open!

I'd prefer Late, but my second choice would be for Early.

My choice of nations would be:

Early: Arco
Mid: Man
Late: Man

I'm fine with RP.
