"Home coming 2" is coming this december to PBW

[Shoujo]

Hmmm... Alright I understand the no quitting rule. However, if I need an extended break (a few days to a week or two) for real-life business, would you be willing to pause the game?

What about e-mail communication? Is it allowed?

Bottom line- we want to keep breaks in the game to a minimum so as not to inconvenience all the other players. But as PBW players and Admins realize, there is real life out there... (I've heard of it at least). Often, if a player has to go away for the weekend it is perfectly understandable and acceptable. Also, the holidays cause a delay for some as well. Be courteous, give advance notice, and most of all, don't abuse the policy by doing it all the time. If you feel that you will be missing a bunch of turns and will be away from your computer often, perhaps the timing isn't right for you right now to get in a game.

As for email communications, they are allowed as long as you encounter the race in the game. The best part about that is that there can be no pre-collaboration whatsoever, because you won't know who your partner is until you actually meet them and read their description!

Sparhawk; this is just my 2 cents, add anything if I am off.

No Stone Mill perfect, that just what I would give as an answer:

So away for a couple of days is ok, but for >4-5 days is a problem. Then you have to find someone else to do your turns.

This game with also start half januari(you know christmas etc.)

Ah alright. Thanks for clearing things up. I don't plan on letting real life business interfere, but now and then it rears its ugly head Can't think of anymore questions. Would love to join the game if you'll let me

I am wondering about this because I am wavering over my choice of homeworld type/atmosphere. Will those (along with this clue line in my species description/history/society) be modified by the host to link it with my as-yet-unknown partner?

[sparhawk]

No they will not.
So its a little simple but you can end up with a partner having different atmosphere or ice/gas/rock combination than your.
altought your both homeworld is going to have on of your atmosphere.

How can the emp file be changed? Should I send the password?
