I haven't played them, there seemed no point.

I'm not sure but I think my PTW says all PBEM's are Regent yet the one I looked at seemed to be Chieftain from the number of content citizens.

I suggest we carry on with the set that are doing the rounds. As I commented earlier it is the same for all of us.

Play the four games and then send them to ormuzd. The e-mail address is in the first post of the thread.

Then cast your votes by sending a private message to alva (you have 40 points which you can give to the games).

ormuzd · March 22, 2003, 12:32

played and sent to Tiberius
and I'll PM alva after few minutes

edit:

deleted on BC sound advice

Dauphin · March 22, 2003, 13:28

alva, I wish you hadn't posted that, it gives Tiberius information about how to vote that he shouldn't have had.

Tiberius · March 22, 2003, 14:09

I've got the saves. Why did I get the russians?

I specifically asked for the germans a long time ago, (somewhere in the first pages of this thread).

I'll PM Alva a bit later (in a few hours). I was just leaving when I checked my mail.

Edit: Nevermind. I just realized that I have different civs in all of the saves. I didn't know it was going to be a random civ choice.

FrustratedPoet · March 22, 2003, 14:37

Yep, I managed to get Spain (once) and Korea (twice!!) in my four saves. Hooray!

Dauphin · March 22, 2003, 14:51

I'm happy with any of my civs, its just the land that looks a bit dodgy.

I just hope y'all didn't vote for the one where I have jungle fever and arctic frostbite.

CerberusIV · March 22, 2003, 17:05

As long as I don't get the one where I have woolly mammoths instead of elephants I'm not too bothered.

Yes, I know that is a giveaway but I really don't want that game, any of the other three are OK.

Tiberius · March 22, 2003, 17:51

OK. I've sent my votes to Alva. Now all we have to do is wait

I suppose that since I'm the last player, there's no need to send the saves until we decide which game to play.

Good luck to all of you

Game C = 90
Game D = 53

Please check your own scores to make sure they are correct.

FrustratedPoet · March 22, 2003, 19:03

I voted 40 points for game C, didn't I?

/edit: I just double-checked the PM I sent you and I definitely voted for C

Dauphin · March 22, 2003, 19:24

I see D and think, "Great, my third choice wins

"; then I see FP's post.

alva · March 22, 2003, 19:36

&

Can't say I mind, Game D would have ment me being in alot of trouble ...

Dauphin · March 22, 2003, 19:46

Should I be expecting the game turn from you in the next few minutes?

alva · March 22, 2003, 19:59

nope, Tiberius still has it.

I was still planning to have it checked out btw (won't take long).

Dauphin · March 22, 2003, 20:33

/me hopes and prays there is a problem and we have to play game B for some reason that alva concocts.

ormuzd · March 23, 2003, 02:15

It's really strange why alva decided to make random civs. Everyone (except zeit) has specified his favorite civ. I had in one save zulu and in another the americans. I don't like both of them. But if it seems I'll have to play with zulu. Interesting choice for a peaceful player

CerberusIV · March 23, 2003, 07:26

I am a bit torn really. I am having trouble coming to terms with the fact that I voted to play the English but they did really have a superb starting position. As it is it looks like I will have the Aztecs. Not one of my favourite civs so I will look to take that out on someone.

Tiberius · March 23, 2003, 07:36

Turn sent to the alvmericans

Dauphin · March 23, 2003, 11:51

I'm going to be pistol whipped in this game.

FrustratedPoet · March 23, 2003, 12:02

That partly depends on whether your team-mate (whoever that turns out to be) is any better off than you are.

alva · March 23, 2003, 12:33

Anyone already have any idea on how we are going to decide teams?

we could use points I guess. IE, combining the lowest and the highest by a certain date.

(map is currently being checked out, game will resume soon)

Dauphin · March 23, 2003, 12:41

There is more to it than points. If you are on a peninsular you may, or alternatively may not, want to ally with your only border nation for example. A vote for who we want to be with would be difficult as most will want to be with the strongest player.

So I suggest that we each assign a value to a player on how good we think their position is. As we did with the maps.

Automatically from that the #5, #6 and #7 are put together, #1 goes with #4 and #2 goes with #3 (as an example). Or we could arrange it so that all teams have similar points score per the tally vote.
