Default Play The World

Welp, it's been awhile since I've had the opportunity to play the World map.

Who's up for a standard issue 24h/quickhost game on The World? Hopefully we can get a lot of players, since this won't be like my early psychomarathons.

Tempting, but ... Especially with the World map I'm going to pass. June 3 I'll be moving crosscountry, probably without internet for a week or two at least, which would kinda screw up any games I was in.

(Although, I -might- be able to borrow someone else'se dialup for brief blips. Am I correct in believing that I can connect to a hosted game, get the .trn file downloaded, quit the game without saving, then play the turn as if it was single player, and connect again to upload the .2h file?)

That's right. Although you'd have to be able to blip in regularly.

Yeh, once I got settled I could blip in pretty easily. But I'd definately be off for 2.5-5 days - my friend thinks he can drive from Tampa to Albuquerque New Mexico in 36 hours, counting breaks, stops, etc.

So - think I'll sit out new games. Unless maybe some interesting 48 hour hostings come up, where I could almost certainly not shaft the game.

Any pretender allowed? Any house rules?

I'll play if there's agreement to use the no wish mod.

Otherwise HUGE games devolve into wishwars, which somehow manage to be simultaneously chaotic and tedious.

No house rules. No mods. I detest both.

Our current list of victims:

Me: Undecided
Rev. Zombie: Marignon
Vynd: Pangaea
Argitoth: C'tis

It's a start. Not quite enough to declare it a game yet and begin sign-in, but we're definitely getting somewhere. Keep those sign-ins coming in.
