Schmoe, I did bounce you (and managed to do it w/o bouncing YellowCactus and Yvelina at the same time), so you can re-upload your pretender now.

Anyone up for knocking out a bunch of the easy turns tomorrow? If we're all watching for turn processing, I'd guess we could get through several turns in a 2-3 hr time slot.

I'll be in all day tomorrow, so can work in to most anyone's schedule. I'm located in the US, California (PDT - GMT-8, or does daylight savings throw that off by 1hr?)

Do we have any European players in our game? I'd imagine that can still work if you're playing for a while in the afternoon/evening. For today, I'll be in for another 4 hrs (till 4pm PDT) and then I'll be able to get in one more turn late in the evening.

Sounds like you registered on mosehansen (which is good), but what I'm asking for is that you play non-anonymous in our game. that means when you go to the Browse Live_and_Learn page, check the box that labeled "That's me!" on the Mictlan line.

Not a big deal, but it's a convenience for me in administration of the game, and it makes the browse page look nicer.

I can knock another one out tonight if desired, but tomorrow might be a little rough - may not get a chance to sit down at the computer until night time (and I'm on PST - left coast time)...

I'm on left coast time as well, so that'll work for me, but that might be a problem if we have any east coast or European players. But no worries, if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.

Right now we're waiting on Cheezeninja, so if he gets his turn in today, it'd be great to get in another turn tonight.

A tip from a fellow newbie. My first mp game finished but I am in the middle of my 2nd and 3rd mp games. From what I have seen it is like almost impossible to blitz turns in a mp game until you get down to 3-4 players. In my first mp game we had 7 of us and you always have 1 or 2 people who can't be there because of varying time zones and work schedules. When the game got down to 3-4 of us we were able to get like 3-4 turns in a day so I guess it is like a semi blitz.

Just a tip so you don't waste a lot of time trying to arrange blitz sessions. And mp is so much better than sp that you cant wait for the game to host to do another turn. I just signed up for my 4th mp game since my 1st one ended(not going to do more than 3 at a time) and it is a team one of 6vs6 so it should be interesting.

I notice a lot of us new players talk a lot in our game threads while the veteran games are kind of really quiet I have noticed. I find the talking in the game thread makes the game a lot more interesting.

But good luck to you guys in your game. Take care.

Aku
