bimbo1555 -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/12/2005 7:39:48 PM)
Hi all. I was up late last night playing a campaign and would love to join in the noobie game if any nations are left. I am in the Pacific time zone, USA and can do a turn every night or morning before work. Let me know... bimbo_15_63@yahoo.com Thanks, James.

munited18 -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/12/2005 7:43:59 PM)
James, I think Sweden and Spain are still open. Contact Marcel to make sure..

bimbo1555 -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/12/2005 7:51:14 PM)
Okay, Thanks! James.

Guenter -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/12/2005 8:54:59 PM)
Hi all, I would say we try to get 8 players and restart the game. Paul, if you are still interested you can take Austria and I play Sweden instead.

MarcelJV -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/12/2005 9:17:46 PM)
Oh, how little you know. I happen to have experience with Gary Grigbys World at war and the opponents wanted section and trying to coordinate games of many people around the world.[:)] samthesham: So we have one more, Spain or Sweden? Email address needed as well. bimbo1555: Ok, which will it be, first one to respond get there choice. munited18: I have been playing on normal and getting my butt kicked so unless you are doing great against normal I would say we leave it for this go around. Have we confirmed the MAC85 is taking France? quote: ORIGINAL: Jordan Sorry...I would post your desire to play here as well as e-mailing him directly (click on his name to get his e-mail address). He seems to be the one among us who knows what he's doing!!!

munited18 -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/12/2005 9:43:33 PM)
Normal it is! Marcel please post the parameters to start the game so MAC will be ready to go as soon as he has access to the computer. He will then send it to me and I will get to Jordan tonight and so on.. I have on thing to say to all of you... WOODEN WALLS BABY![:-]

Hi, Just let me know which I'm playing and I'm ready. OH, this is bimbo1555 but I tried to re-register using my home email and it said it sent a confirmation there but I haven't seen it so I re-registered again and am now TheRockSal. So, again, I am in the Pacific time zone, USA and can play whichever country no one wants! My home email is bimbo_15_63@yahoo.com Looking forward to trying this out...played many Matrix games but never PBEM, so I'm looking forward to it. James.

What if it is so relaxed for you then how come you do not have the game on your computer? quote: ORIGINAL: munited18 quote: ORIGINAL: Jordan quote: WOODEN WALLS BABY! You're killin' me. I'm not supposed to be laughing at work. WHat? Do you work in East Prussia? Sure are strict...

OUCH!! Good point Marcel. However, there is realxed and there is R-E-L-A-X-E-D! I am only at the relaxed stage of my career..[;)] Now, if I had the BIG corner office YOU KNOW I would have the game up and running, but I am dreaming again...[8D]

Below is the turn order and the players.

TheRockSal -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/12/2005 10:35:09 PM)
Sweet....Spain it is.. Good luck! James.

TheRockSal -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/13/2005 12:00:12 AM)
Hi. Just to clarify something since I wasn't in the first practice turn go around yesterday. We all do our turns and then the creator runs the full turn, I assume. Is there a report generated to each player giving them info from the turn, such as provinces won/lost, men killed/enemies killed, diplomatic agreements/denials. OR, do we just find that out when it gets to our turn again? That's pretty much it...I understand the loading, saving, zipping, sending part. It seems like when you load a game, it would automatically load the game parameters but if we have to do it manually, that's fine. I have 3 more hours here at work and really want to be home studying Spain as I've not played them before....really, I need to work on a lot of stuff so I don't look too noobish! James.

munited18 -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/13/2005 12:21:43 AM)
I believe that you will see the EVENTS page, or whatever it is called, when you open your turn after the first go around. However, that is total speculation on my part..

Jordan -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/13/2005 12:22:40 AM)
Holy Imperial Guard! We've got a full boat. Looks like I need to slip out of work early to go practice, er, to attend a parent/teacher conference. I haven't played PBEM before so I don't know if you get a report or not.

TheRockSal -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/13/2005 12:28:11 AM)
Well, however the info. is presented......looking forward to it. I have to play racquetball after work......I do value my health but I'm very antsy to begin my plotting.....unfortunately, with the alt-tab thingy not working for me, I can't play around here at work...[;)]

munited18 -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/13/2005 12:31:53 AM)
Are there rules about talking to players about the game, outside of the game? I mean emailing each other about alliances etc. Just asking not plotting.....much[;)]

Jordan -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/13/2005 12:42:28 AM)
It's too bad there's not a notes attachment in the diplomacy/new treaties section.

MarcelJV -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/13/2005 1:54:53 AM)
Who said anything about playing the game. I just start it to figure out the turn order and print the manual. I have a cube so no luck on the playing part. quote: ORIGINAL: munited18 OUCH!!

There is a replay feature but I have heard it does not work with PBEM, it may be that people are not sending both the save and the rep file. Check the manual on how to use the replay function as I have not tried it. I might do a practice PBEM and see how it works. With regard to plotting feel free to begin. Any plotting is allowed by me.

Check the manual on how to use the replay function as I have not tried it. There is no replay feature. It aint in the manual and it aint in the game. Neat idea though. The rep file is used for the event report - open it in notepad and have a look. (And yes, Alice, you do need to send both files.) If you guys need a fillerinnerer for someone who goes on holidays or something, use me. Best of luck, and may the politics begin!

mac85 -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/13/2005 1:33:40 PM)
I'm in England and will send a turn at 5pm GMT tonight. As I understand it, all settings default except victory conditions which will be the maximum allowed. Will check in here to make sure before I send. Good luck everyone! Neil

munited18 -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/13/2005 3:30:59 PM)
Alright Mac, I will play the turn when I get home at about 630pm Central Standard. It will then go to Guenter, who is in Europe, and then back to California. These are going to be very interesting turn sequences! LET'S GET IT ON!

samthesham -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/13/2005 8:02:47 PM)
I am Austria and my e-mail address is paul@bolmeremove.com Death to the Corsican ogre!

munited18 -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/13/2005 8:59:38 PM)
UPDATE: Mac has emailed me the turn and I will jump on it as soon as I make it home! The game is under way! Also, check out Mac's AAR in the AAR section. I hope we can all maybe contribute, without giving any clues away. If you want to that is. Finally, I have already received a great email from one our number, and it really helped to "set the mood" for the game. I encourage everyone to do this to help keep us thinking about the game between games. Good fun! Good Luck to everyone and...... PREPARE FOR BRITISH DOMINANCE! Oh wait, you don't have to "prepare" for it because it's already here![:-]

TheRockSal -> RE: PBEM NEWBIE (7/13/2005 9:35:34 PM)
Just a little warning, England. Spain has made preparations so any hasty fleet transport landings, and any help with your Portugal brethren will be foolish, as you will be focused on one front and not prepared for the other front which could materialize when you least expect it...be very careful in your endevors.
