sounds good, but medium map?

thanks for linking me here, I'm definitely interested. haven't played for ages, and never in a dilp game, but that should be fine

6 pm GMT daylight saving would be 7 pm for me, just perfdt. I should have up to 4 hours each night, would that be enough?

atawa · April 28, 2002, 06:52

Count me in

Species8472 · April 28, 2002, 07:41

i am in to. but if it is a random map, I would like to suggest:

wet, warm, 3 billion years,
archipelago
small landmass

And why no unit bribe? or no wonders? wonders make the game interesting, and unit bribe makes war interesting, with doubling up units.

DrSpike · April 28, 2002, 08:04

I'm with Woke; the less things disallowed the better, except city bribe. Also (and remember I'm a diplogame virgin also

) shouldn't alliances be allowed in a diplogame?

Anyway I'm in at that time. 4 hours sounds about right.

atawa · April 28, 2002, 10:34

off course alliences should be allowed, after all its a diplogame

Species8472 · April 28, 2002, 11:17

please count me in

winzity · April 28, 2002, 11:24

Great Species8472. I have MSN Messenger: winzity@hotmail.com

winzity · April 28, 2002, 11:50

Species8472: What is your MSN Messenger address?

And I wonder why you prefer warm instead of cool, my experience is that it gives to much swamp and cool gives VERY fertile land.

But if it is important to you I can use warm as setting in the game if the other players agree to it. But in such case I want you to give good arguments for it.

Glohithia · April 28, 2002, 14:14

Id like to play, assuming there will be room. Id definetly be available for the whole game.

My preferences would be the same as Winzity posted with the following exceptions:

Varied Landform would be Continent
No Bribing would be Unit Bribing
No Wonders would be All Wonders Allowed
No Alliances would be All Alliances Allowed

Also wanted to note that I think cold, wet, and 3 billion give the best terrain, but thats just my opinion.

And I think that if we have more than 4 players, a medium map might be too small. Perhaps a custom map between medium and large could be made. Just a suggestion, no big deal. And it really depends on how many people who posted here will actually play

winzity · April 28, 2002, 14:16

If 7 players are going to start in the game we will of course use a large map. Or somebody disagree with it?

We need at least to adjust the map size to number of players.

DrSpike · April 28, 2002, 14:42

My 2 cents:

Cool not warm.
Unit bribe should be allowed.
Alliances should be allowed, otherwise what's the point of playing a diplogame?
Wonders should be allowed.
Large varied landmass on a large map should suit all.

C you all Thursday.

atawa · April 28, 2002, 18:22

I agree, only i would prefer warm and arch

deity · April 28, 2002, 18:26

If I can wake up at 3am Friday morning I'll play!

Don't hold a spot but I don't work Friday so I'll probably be OK to play.... any settings are fine by me.

DrSpike · April 28, 2002, 18:27

Bloody hell deity you are keen!

markusf · May 1, 2002, 02:32

Ecthy · May 2, 2002, 14:04

Just been called a Nazi on kingchat for correcting spelling... are all MPers like that?

winzity · May 2, 2002, 14:57

Please be nice!

winzity · May 2, 2002, 15:19

You can see the game settings and rules there.
It also informs about which players are in the game and who that want to subs in the game, if you need a sub some Thursday.

Please note: It's your responsibility to fix a sub if you can't play, but I can help with tip of interested players.

Ecthy · May 2, 2002, 15:20

DrSpike and Ecthy bullsh!tting the kingchat most of the time, apart from that not a lot happening

I seem to be muted by many, how so?
