Please can someone introduce me and hold my hand through my first E-Mail Game? These are the details I think I am being asked for

stevebunn50@hotmail.com
SMACX
1 Game
No Map Prefs
Any Human Faction
Easiest difficulty allowed
Apolyton Alias = Steven Bunn

Please let me know if I got this right.
What do I do next?

Thanks
Steve.

Steve, in case you want, I can help you, like I've done many times in CtP, and set up the game for you, if you find at least 2 more people to play the game, I'd like it then.
As I've done many work at CtP PBEM, I'm now also taking part in the SMAC/X MP world.
Welcome!

Hi Steven

Good offer from Solver, hope you get a game going

If you don't have other people lined up to play, though, recommend that you post your details to the game sign-up thread, which you can find by clicking on this link

Best of luck

I too am interested in an email game, but I also need someone to guide me through the process. Hopefully Solver's offer will extend to me also.

As far as my prefs...

email = niteowl@bwwonline.com
version = SMAC only
activity level = 1 Game
Maps = No Map Prefs
Faction = no believers. spartans / univ both ok (will take others if necessary)
difficulty = Easiest difficulty allowed

Niteowl, I would surely like to take you in the game, but I only have SMAX running and up, I just can't start a SMAC PBEM, as I don't have the patch. Next, I think we need 1 or 2 more. Niteowl, please think about what to do with you

Well, if someone sends me the patch that would allow SMAC to PBEM, I could start a SMAC PBEM, then.
Then we need to decide about the difficulty level, it's quite important. Many games tend to start at Talent, just because it's the standard level, I will agree to Talent, for sure. I like Large map with water, but I will appreciate other opinions here, for sure.
I am almost sure, however, we will get a game up.
Waiting for more posts

Solver, let me know what I need to do next to join a game under your instructions and I will join yours as well.

Greetings
Steve.

Get SMAX, or give me the patch for SMAC, and state what faction and settings you want.
Also, I'd like you to read the Ladder topics, perhaps a first rated game in AC?
