Kevan -> v1.2 PBEM opponents wanted - Testing new game setup (12/6/2005 12:59:02 AM)

Okay, in anticipation of the upcoming v1.2 patch, I've decided to take one more stab at starting up a PBEM game. I want to thank everyone who participated in the now aborted v1.2.14, but I think the general concensus was that everyone wants to upgrade with the new patch.
This time I'm proposing to do it with a bit of a twist though. Or two twist actually:
1. 8 players. That's right, 8 live, flesh and blood human beings. No computer controlled canon fodder.
2. Time zone determined turn order.
So, to explain, I would really like to get a full game. To compensate for the increased potential for things to lag as the turn gets sent from player to player, I propose we randomly select someone willing to play France and take on the responsibility of setting up the game. Then, moving westward from that person's time zone, the next person gets GB, then Sweden, then Prussia, and so on. It's my hope that this will increase the likelihood of multiple players completing their turns in one evening.
Now of course there is one negative. You don't get to pick your nation. Doesn't bother me, but I understand it might turn other people off.
So I'll give this until v1.2 gets released and see how we're doing for sign-ups. If everyone thinks this idea is nuts, we can just start up a regular PBEM where everyone picks their favourite nations.
