However, since I have no idea of how much time this might gobble up, I'm just not sure if I dare make a commitment for another two weeks or so. Still tons of work that has to be done, and I'm not sure if I could summon the self-discipline needed for having the game on the same computer for the time being... So, what do you guys think - how many hours/week would a full pbem set take, with all major powers as players?

I'll stick with a game, even if I am getting my rear end handed to me, because I want to learn how to play it well.

I am glad the game is finally here.

If you email me, please put EiA in the subject somewhere or my filter will delete it.

I’m available to arbitrate one or more PBEM games should any of you be interested and ready to try a PBEM game. Just send me a PM when your seven-member playgroup is formed and I’ll get your game up and running.

Enjoy!

Richard

So far we have five; myself, hardcoremtnbiker, khormsh, qtheblizz and richard123456789. A possible would be odysseus.

I would like to thank Monadman (Richard) for offering to be the arbitrator and, speaking for myself, would like to take you up on your offer.

Odysseus,

To answer your question about time, a lot depends on what country you play, the time of year during the game, etc. Usually, the very begining takes the bulk of time to set up, diplomacy and then the first non-winter month might see a lot of dow's on minors. But there can be slow periods in the game.

I have not approached everybody about how often they would like to turn around their turns. In my opinion the quicker the better so as to hold individual attentions and to lower player losses over the course of the game.

Thanks,
Thomas

I take it that you will be the host of the game? If so, after the group is established and decides which game options will be in play, PM me with everyone’s email address and I’ll get this game started for you all.

I’m here when you’re ready.

Richard

Sure I will host, just a very small way in giving back to the snail-mail EIA games that were GM'ed by dedicated individuals. Once we get the final group in place I will pm you with the particulars.

Thanks,
Thomas

I understand your situation and would like to see this game up and running ASAP, to take care of the long-term desire to finally play!

Thanks,

Looks like we have our seven: myself, hardcoremtnbiker, khormsh, qtheblizz, javajoe, therockyfroggy and richard123456789.

I will email this group in a short time to have us vote on the options and general turn turn-around idea. If, for some reason a member does not feel comfortable with the options or the time committment then we will look to find a new replacement(s).

Thanks,
Thomas

Status: offline 		The game that I originally started is full and thanks for your interest. I would suggest that individuals post seperate threads for offers to start games like Durass has done in his thread LFG and somebody take the initiative in starting a game up. It was not too much work and pretty easy, just go to the front part of the instructions for a list of the options and have everybody vote or just state what the options are before people sign up so they can determine if they are interested or not, we settled on a 48 hour game turn-around time and a few days for starting diplomacy and then decide if you would want to have an arbitrator or not. I am sure there will be some people that would be willing to be an arbitrator.

Thanks,
Thomas
