8 PLAYER GAME - ALMOST READY TO START

digger760 · 19-05-2003, 17:06

Is anybody interested in starting an 8 player match. Most people here seem fairly committed to PBEM so i reckon we could start one that should go some sort of distance (hopefully to the end).

And we can have somebody generate a decent map for us all.

EDIT Players in no particular order...yet

Player (Playing time)

1. digger760 (07:30-09:30GMT) (voted for backup player)
2. Lt Killer (09:00-12:00 GMT)
3. Melifluous (12:00-13:00 GMT)
4. Matrix (16:00-17:00 GMT) (voted against backup player)
5. Cruise (17:00-18:30 GMT)
6. Erikk (18:30 GMT-19:30 GMT)
7. Annares (19:00-20-00 GMT) (voted against backup player)
8. Wildfire (20:30-03:00 GMT) (15:30 -22:00 EST)

not bad looks like we will actually get this started

In my experience, these games die fast...

but I'd be up for another try

WildFire · 19-05-2003, 20:35

I'd want another go. What patch? Or wait for that world wide release?

digger760 · 19-05-2003, 21:27

Well i'll be screening for reliable players. Well hopefully we can play on the newest patch, but i'm still stuck on 1.14. Lets see if we get enough players first, i'm already in 2 - 4 player games, so i wont bother if we can't get the full 8.

PS you 2 are reliable enough.

Save a spot for Matrix, he's been dying for another 8 player game. I won't join, these things dont tend to work in my experience.

I was thinking we should recuit 1 or more players for back up purposes ie play out turns if we can't for what ever reason.

Not to sure if we should get just one or two and they play to our specific orders or we each have 1 back up player each and they can have free reign of our turns when we can't play.

If backup players, play under specific orders, then i think its ok for back up players to read spoiler threads...but not if they have free reign of out turns.

I think we might be ok with just a few backup players under specific orders

Any opinions from anyone???

I won't join this one, although I'm around a lot for turns right now I refuse to guarantee myself!! and I would hate to be the reason a game drops or slows.

I could probably be a 'backup player' if needed (it would be subject to availability, so if you get a better offer take it). I could even restrain myself from reading the spoilers if I know from the outset

*notices Meli has signed up to play* I can offer to sort the map too
