Ryan Eye MP Game (thread name changed)

[Gandalf Parker]

Looks like we are starting again. Someone needs to pick a new game name (8 character limit please) and repost a who-has-what list. So if anyone wants in they can read down on who has what nations, then turn in a wishlist of 3 nations in the order you would like them.

(is Dessert Eye getting too small?)

Since this is PBEM, I am assuming that this will be about one turn a day or so. That is all I can commit to since my only copy of the game is at home.

My Favorites: (1) Pythium, (2) Ulm, (3) Ctis. I've never played MP, so it's going to be fun I'm sure.

Well I seem to have flubbed things up, my abject apologies

I'd still like to play if there's a slot available, mebbe Caelum or Abysia.

At this point I should mention it'd be another eight hours before I could log on

Oops I see mine were already chosen.. I could go for 1) Abysia 2) Ctis 3) Tien Chi. Want to move to Orania or something if there are a full 13?

Happy New Year in about 10 hrs

Would I be able to jump in with Vanheim?

Alright.. its looking like this so far:

RyanZA: Pythium
Wendigo: R'lyeh
Teraswaerto: Machaka
rabelais: Ulm
Saber Cherry: Marignon
Hana: Ermor
alexti: Jotunheim
Karacan: Man
Gandalf Parker: Pangaea
izaqyos: Arcoscephale
aldin: Caelum
Orlanth: Abysia
SurvivalistMerc: Ctis

Stats for game:
map = Desert Eye
rich = default
sites = 45%
indep = 7
research = normal
victory = none
scores = viewable
events = common

Desert Eye has a maximum players of 13, so it should still be fine - just very crowded. Crowded does lead to more wars though, so it should be a pretty fast paced game. Inland would be the next choice as that has 25 more provinces to go around. Might be better as Desert eye has alot of water.. and we only have one water race. Would solve the name issue too... Ill leave it up to Gandalf to choose which map he prefers.

Heehee. Its just that I keep hearing java script, perl, php, xml, /etc /etc and Im just an old BASIC programmer. Nearly all the random map generation stuff I have on there was done in BASIC. If I cracked down and learned the quirks of CGI enough to write one Id probably write it in BASIC also.

PHP is just alot easier than CGI for small things like this. You dont have to go cludging around with all the file operations and so on, it does it all for you.

Kewl. Let me know when its ready.

Well.. I could probably try make something. It would just need to get the pretender files uploaded to it and drop them in the right directory?

And Happy New Year All!

OK login and only take the nation you are given on the list then logoff. I will start the game when everyone is in and announce that start here so you can go back in for your first turns

The IP of the server is 63.199.8.158 and the port is 7011
The game name is RyanEye

[aldin]

Yay! (I think)

[Gandalf Parker]

Game is up. Come in, pick up YOUR race, do your turns. For now the game is set to process immeadiately whenever all the turns are done.

We should rename this thread now to "RyanEye MP game" or something. Otherwise everytime someone Posts it will make everyone jump in seeing
"DomII PBEM game starting up! All welcome "

I tried to log on, but there was no Abysia on the list?
