My roommate-- chris-- would like to play Pythium (he is unable to post right now.).

Talos and josh_f's roommate chris: Great! now only Arco is left without a player...

Dom2PbEM2 current status:

Potatoman: Jotunheim
Saber Cherry: Abysia
Josh_f: C'Tis
st.patrik: Ulm
talos: Machaka
chris: Pythium

Once again, can any of you guys (or girls [Saber]) host? If you haven't done it it's not hard - just a matter of processing turns and then sending out the .trn file to each player.

Would this be a good time to ask for a Laser Squad Nemesis-like auto-PBEM-hosting system?

Seriously, though, I could host, but I REALLY don't want to, as I use web-email. Sorry...

Well, since the demo is out...

PbEM1: If no-one else is able, I can do the hosting. You just have to live with the fact that there might be some (so far max 8 hours, might be longer in days to come) lag with my email during the daytime EET. Pocus volunteered his system, which sounded very good, but I didn't catch whether it was Dom1-specific or not.

Well, 66% downloaded. Still some time to eat something before such needs are forgotten.

What are the settings going to be for PbEM1?

I don't think we should allow any end-game alliances, since there aren't that many players.

st.patrik · #96 October 28th, 2003, 07:18 AM

PbEM2 still has a spot open for Arco, if anyone wants to try it out.

Also someone to host would be good [like I said I'll do it if no-one else will, but that may lead to no turns certain days because my e-mail is acting up]. Personal message me by the end of tomorrow if you can help out, otherwise I'll go ahead and host and you'll just have to put up with it if the system goes haywire [once I couldn't send for a week!]

Well, if no-one else can host easily, I guess I'll host. You guys just have to accept that there might be some delays. And the system is primitive, so you've been warned.

If it is OK with you all playing, I'll give you an URL where to find your turn files when they are processed and you email me .2h-files back. I'll send a note when the turn is hosted.

Um, everyone in PbEM1 send me their email address by the forum's Private Messages, and I'll email you for your pretender files and other administrative stuff when I've got all the addresses? Hopefully you don't have a problem with me letting you know each other's addresses (I know some people who have)?

And for the map and settings, I'd go for the easy road and say the smaller of default maps with default settings, but there's equal vote for all and I'm just being lazy.

Let's aim for several turns a week, but it will depend on how often I get all the files.

Anything else?

And in case people have already forgotten, I think the following was final (not sure, please feel free to correct):

PbEM1:
Atul - C'Tis
Catquiet - Jotunheim
Nerfix - Machaka
Saber - Ulm
PDF - Arco
izaqyos - Pythium

Are there any spaces still open in any dom2 demo pbem games? If so I know someone who wants to join.
