The New Game: The Revenge

[Norfleet]

Welp, that Last game went over pretty well. So I'm thinking of starting another game. As always, something along the neighborhood of 4-5 hours a day, to run on a fairly consistent schedule, barring intermittent emergencies for somebody, to the death!

Who's in? Navrunner? Condors? Want some revenge?

not ready for a rematch yet, looking at other races

I keep being tempted by one of these epics. Post details, and perhaps I'll lay in plenty of supplies and join one

I may be up for a game sometime in the near future to test my skills and see how they work in a MP game. It would be a good test as you seem to be quite a formidable player, Norfleet.

However, it will have to wait a few weeks at least until I can get 4-5 hours at a time to commit to play. Even then, I would only be available from 5pm-10pm Eastern on weekdays and most anytime during the morning and afternoon on the weekends.

One question I do have is about how long does it take for each turn normally? I know it must vary widely depending on how far into the game and other factors, but what is it by average? I am just curious as to the pace and whether I would be able to plan/think fast enough to keep up .

Heh. Maybe. It's only my second game against other forumites.

Works for me. Maybe you'll be able to catch the game or two after the one I'm trying to organize now, then.

How long....well, an early game turn, is primarily bounded by others. I've seen people take up to 5 minutes on turn 2, which I think is rather unusually long, given that turn 2 takes *ME* about 15 seconds.

As a good rule of thumb, turn N will take (N+5)/2 minutes to complete, on average.

Yes I would be interested. I am not sure if "revenge" would be the goal.

You don't want revenge for the second time I've beaten you now?

What side do you want to call this time? Me? I'm Ermor again. Maybe I'll take Soul Gate for a spin, though.

Mostly, I just called it that because "The Revenge" sounds cool. I already have a game running called "The New Game: Ultimate Death", so I figured "The New Game: The Revenge" would sound nice.

Ooohohoho, ermor!? >:}

I don't get it though. Can you give me some info on how this is going to work? I don't want to do PBEM. and it looks like this is a network game, so how is this going to work?

It looks like we will take turns when we are all Online like a blitz.

Good, because I hate PBEM. I don't even have email.

And yes, it's a network game. It works exactly like a blitz. We may even PLAY it as a Marathon-blitz, if nobody has any impinging time issues.

Basically, we start the game at the appointed time, and we play until somebody has to go. Then we pick up again the next day. And so on, until only one man remains standing. And be warned that I fight to the bitter end.

Oooh, good. Better for me when I have Undead Mastery researched.
