Hey LP--

It seems that this took a little bit to get going, but you're really cranking them out pretty quick now. If have not said it already--thanks a bunch for dooing this. I only wish I could play in more games!

Any thoughts on maybe starting a MASSIVE game as opposed to those with 6-8 players?

You're welcome.

But massive games? I've previously figured I'd let people spawn those on their own. Llamabeasts willing to let people use his server, and those often seem an event to organize and get started. I'd be happy to advise where I can, but people like Gandalf and Velusion probably have the most experience.

Anyways, no, I hadn't considered MASSIVE games, at all. I wouldn't object to hearing other, more experience multiplayers' thoughts on MASSIVE games. I might become willing to do it.

Current opinion? Keep it medium-small and wait for problems to arise. Already we've put quite a bit of polish on introducing people to PBEM, and me remembering what details need to be shared and where. I'd planned on later mixing up some game settings, but I hadn't thought far beyond maybe switching to EA at the end of the Alphabet and going Celtic.

I'd certainly be willing to organize two games at once. One 8 player one and one full packed one- the only problem is I'm not really interested in watching over such a game all the way into eternity, especially since I haven't paid too much attention to the great big ones to see their potential pitfalls. I'd be happy to get a little advice, and then organize those massive games, especially if I could then hand the reins of power over to some megalomaniac.

WEEEE!!!! WEEEE!!!! TO MUCH ENERGY IS CONTAINED IN A TWO LITER BOTTLE OF CHERRY COKE!!! WEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Okay, so where wwawwadasss I? YARRRR!!!!

Talk amongst yourselves, whilst I regain my sanities. As if I have more than one anyways. The voices in my eyes tell the feet in my fingers otherwise.

Anyways... pretend that didn't happen.

Aethyr - The next game this thread is going to spawn is going to be a large one. Single era only, though. Nice big map, as many nations as possible.

Jazzepi - You want to pick settings/map for this new game (large) or the one after that (medium, 8 players max)?

General Announcement 1: Shortly, Llamabeast will be traveling abroad for a week or so. So, no new games can start. Now, just because we can't start them doesn't mean we can't recruit and organize them.

General Announcement 2:
I'm now recruiting for [placeholder name]Big Arse Game[/placeholder name]. BAG will kick off in around two to three weeks. Ideally, we'll have someone playing every nation. Era not yet decided, will NOT BE EA. There's already a game recruiting all the way up to a full house for that era. I recommend joining the not yet named game first, and only signing up here if someone already took all the nations you're comfortable with.

Maybe you should spin off a separate thread if you want to organise a BAG and continue to organise small games here - having a constant source of smallish games is a really good setup I think.

(I prefer smallish games myself since the big ones go on forever, although that doesn't actually matter since I won't be joining a game soon - but other people might feel similarly)

Well, since you're going off for week, I figure I'll just hijack this thread and take the extra time to figure out what the heck to do. Maybe in the future... but these are my testing grounds where I hammer (like thor) out the details, and any small game I organized, I couldn't start.
