US central time zone here. Not that I necessarily act like it, I tend to be around more later in the day than early. From 7 am-4 in the afternoon, for example, is pretty much the worst possible time to try and reach me.

Edit: I also want to have a little bit of a discussion with Team Noob™ before we get going to get an overall feeling of what each player is going to try to do. Again, I'm not going to try to completely plan a cohesive strategy for us. I don't know enough about all the nations for one thing, and I think it would probably be less fun for everyone. But I have a specific idea in mind about how I'm going to play, and I'd like to see if anyone else has specific intentions so hopefully we can figure out ways to support each other.

Just thought of it...
Probably the best option for you will be organizing a temporary forum board. There're plenty of free board services available nowadays. It was very useful for cooperation in times I played another PBEM-game, Mafia and I'm sure it will be more convenient for you than both e-mail and chat because you will have full message history easily available and won't have to be online at the same time to talk.

That's a great idea. Any suggestions for something that would be super easy to set up?

Well, nevermind about the Ermor thing. I forgot that I am an alternate, so it doesn't really matter.

Well, I am Russian and I always used russian free board services such as www.borda.ru. Probably you want English as the language of your forum so it won't suit you. But I'm sure there're such services

Here are some of the options I found:

http://www.createforum.com/tos.html
http://www.forumer.com/

and many others - just ask Google

I would like Jomon please

In regards to communication, I'm fine with forums or email or IM software for that sort of thing (I have AIM and MSN and ICQ), but... and not implying that any of the vets would stoop so LOW as to do such a thing... *grin* if you go for forums, a passworded one might make sense, if we're going to be putting details of strategy and such on it.

What are the teams after all? And which CBM version are we using?

Trumanator · #**100** January 31st, 2009, 05:56 PM

Sorry for the lateness, but I'm just not feeling too motivated for this. I would like to withdraw. Hopefully since I'm an "alternate" this isn't a problem. I think though that being in 3 team games at once might be more than even a history major has time for.
