larrywrose@yahoo.com

Trent
ecn1 Erik
Kayuucee Kenneth Crist
Larrywrose Larry W. Rose

The only problem with bidding is that several players are new and could eaisly overbid. On the other hand it looks like it is going to be a learning game anyway. Denis are you going to host? If not I will volunteer. This looks like a first for all of us. Looking forward to having some fun here.

Larry since you volunteered to host your it.. as long as all agree I have no problem with it.

I do think we need to take a vote on bidding. I would like to try bidding as it adds another layer of decision making to the game but it is not a big point with me either.

As its stands now on bidding looks like the current votes are.

Y bid - N no bidding


Leopoldo - ?
denxis1 Denis - Y
Trent - N
ecn1 Erik - Y
Kayuucee Kenneth Crist - ?
Larrywrose Larry W. Rose - ?
Agt4533 - ?


If we end up not bidding I would like Russia or Turkey but I am agreeable to just about any country.

As this is a first time for some people, I suggest that we try a simple bid system. When bidding use the numbers 1 through 7. 7 being for the country you most want, 1 for the least. You cannot use the same number more than once.

This will prevent over bidding.

http://myfreeforum.org/

Let me add.....It's like a real forum and the creator can add private threads, host files, etc like a normal board.

Status: offline 		Two Things

1. I recommend google groups for a game forum and we share our pbem files....I set one up for the eia game I am hosting now and it works great...happy to set one up for this game...

see http://groups.google.com/group/eia_ezra?hl=en as example of what you can do

2. Lets use the official game bidding system, none of this 1-7 bs. It matters to use the suggested bidding system for victory pts etc. Its incredibly easy to use...just download the program and make your bids. I have done this once already, and happy to host the bidding, just send your bid files to me and I will run the program

Looks like bidding with a majority vote of 5 for bidding . Kenneth's bid idea is a good one but I think it better to use the bidding program supplied with the game for continuity.

Wow some really great ideas! I like Trent's idea of putting together a forum for the game. Both suggestions are good but I think a Google forum would be best as I looked at both and the Google site had a much faster response time when I was clicking on links. I just hate to wait.

1. who is hosting the game? I can host if you want, doing it now for another game and have done it befort e

2. what do you want to call this game? let me know, and I will set up a google group

3. In addition, to set up the google group, I need to have your email address that you wish to use for game correspondence

otherwise, you are literally talking about playing this game for about 5 years

Send an email with your Matrix name and your email that you are using for this game to ecn1@cornell.edu.

OK if you have not done so already download the GAP here:
http://www.matrixgames.com/games/downloads.asp?gid=285
Please read this handy post before you start the GAP and put in your bids
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1641790

I would suggest we call our game remake (it needs to be short and one word).

After using GAP save your file as remake_yourname and send it to ecn1@cornell.edu

I would also suggest the following for optional rules unless there is great dissent:

Winter Land Movement +
Guard Commit +
Allow PBEM Host +
Allow Option Changes during the game -
Third Party battle resolution -
PBEM passwords +
Econ Manip +
GB/FR War +
Leader Cas +
Priv -
PBEM Quick -

Also, i suggest a house rule that GB and FR may only have an unconditional surrender, - that GB must remove Nappy and FR must remove two fleets. Several PBEM games have instituted this rule and I am playing with it now in a game. It keeps GB and France from resolving their differences without consequence and just ganging up, etc.

Let me know what you all think.

No Privateers.

No Options Change.
No Third Party Resolution.

And no opinion on the last rule, it doesnt matter to me.
