Nope, it causes a fatal system error and can't be corrected because its hard-coded.

Gotta use Large.

Random Vanilla is fine with me.

Beta · December 9, 2003, 12:27

Ya, right.

Have you played a large map game with 6-8 civs?

That is all I have to say on the matter.

GhengisFarb™ · December 9, 2003, 12:28

No it isn't, you'll say something else in a little bit.

Otherwise you wouldn't belong in this PBEM.

GodKing · December 9, 2003, 18:30

Random everything, oh smelly ones.

and please, the smaller the map, the better. A single 20 square island with all of us starting on it would be great!

A man after my own heart.

Beta · December 9, 2003, 22:59

Ok - lets get the locations and time zones right,

Darekill is Germany.

Beta is Toronto.

GK is Detroit.

Arrnelos is Virginia???

GF???

ZargonX????

I have two other inquiries out. We will start soon. Random civs, and random settings - except for landmass. Pangaea.

Standard size map. Maybe even small if there is only six of us.

Difficulty - regent?

conmcb25 · December 10, 2003, 00:08

GF lives in a swamp

Zargon is an east coast liberal elitist

Arnelos is in AZ but visits VA occassionally

What is going on here is this PtW or Conquests?

Map size and number of civs?

What if I cant think of propoganda on a turn?

Does the propoganda HAVE to relate to the game or could I just slam liberals?

(Zargon, I hope you know this is in all good fun and I fully expect to get it back with BOTH barrels)

Im Indiana so right now (in winter) Im EST and in summer Im CST.

Dont know if I can do this or not, I need some answers first!

GhengisFarb™ · December 10, 2003, 12:34

Anyone ever see The Waterboy with Adam Sandler? That's where I'm at. Deep in a Lousiana swamp which is suddenly not so bad as I am just a few hours from two NCAA Bowl Games.

I have no problem with conmcb25 joining but I am concerned with having too many players and slowing the pace down. So what if conmcb25's a little to liberal in his political views than I care for, this IS the Balderdash PBEM.

Rhothaerill · December 10, 2003, 13:48

Beta asked me to join yesterday and I originally said no, but would like to reconsider that if you still have room.

I guess I'll have to get better at my Ghengis bashing...err balderdashing.

Arnelos · December 10, 2003, 14:05

I'm moving back to the DC area in the next 2 weeks. So I'll be a conservative living in the capital of the free world (assuming you can still call it "free" after the Supreme Court voted to restrict free speech, of course

).

Conquests.

Small and 8. But that won't last long.

No problem. Just come up with a doubly good one the next turn.

Anything goes - but game related is preferable. And watch it - I am a very liberal Canadian, which from what I can etll, would be put right of the scale on the American political spectrum.

My American hero is Michael Moore.

So - are you in you gun toten' redneck? Or are you going to wuss out and leave all your fighting up to the American Military?

And Rhoth - welcome - great to have you on board.

conmcb25 · December 10, 2003, 14:26

Wow, you guys are pretty good!

Dont worry, Im an equal oppurtunity liberal basher!

I got an idea since Ghengis is afraid too many will slow down the PBEM lets just throw him out of it.!

If you guys need me fine Ill play but if its too crowded Ill pass.

Up to you guys just let me know.

Rhothaerill · December 10, 2003, 14:30

Oh, by the way, I'm a moderate conservative living in California so I'll probably get bashed a bit by the liberals in here (and supported by Arnelos and con if he plays)...but you liberals backed AL GORE!

GhengisFarb™ · December 10, 2003, 14:47

So with me booted out that gives you seven people, any idea when its going to get started?

So far:
Beta
ZargonX
Arnelos
Darekill
GodKing
conmcb25
Rhothaerill

conmcb25 · December 10, 2003, 14:54

We cant start without you GF, it wouldn't be as much fun unless we had you to bash around!

GodKing · December 10, 2003, 18:01

Besides, the heretics that promised me my own copy of C3C for helping out with the beta still have not come through... so I STILL only have my beta disk which playes, but isn't the same as the final version and so on and so forth. Worse comes to worse I guess I can always buy a copy for the $25 and then give the signed version away as a Hon-i-mas gift.

Arnelos · December 10, 2003, 18:15

7 or 8 players on a small map with random civs works.

conmcb25 · December 10, 2003, 23:21

Rhothaerill · December 10, 2003, 23:42

conmcb25 · December 10, 2003, 23:58

Darekill · December 11, 2003, 04:12

Yes Beta! You will pay for something I don't know yet

Btw. My e-mail is darekillatgmxdotde you know what to do with the at and the dot part....

Arnelos · December 11, 2003, 04:16

ZargonX apparently already has my e-mail courtesy of other PBEMs, since he just sent me the save

I need GodKing's addy.

Arnelos · December 11, 2003, 04:43

Save sent to GodKing (thanks to E_T for giving me the e-mail addy).

btw, for those of you curious about what civs you got:

Beta - Dutch (orange)
ZargonX - Greeks (green)
Arnelos - Carthage (brown)
GodKing - America (cyan)
GhengisFarb - France (pink)
conmcb25 - Zulus (black)
Rhothaerill - Portugal (purple)
Darekill - Korea (blue)

Looks like everyone will be quite happy.

Darekill · December 11, 2003, 06:19

Korea!

You don't mean the Korea with the incredibly strong Artilleryunit as UU,do you?

Nah, can't be true.
Korea
would be blue. And I'm not blue.....

Arnelos · December 11, 2003, 07:59

btw... I'm not exactly happy with my start, but I'll soldier on as best I can. Numidian Mercs should help, I suppose.

Random is random.

And sorry Rhoth - I had just finished a bottle of wine when I set the game up. And I checked all the names twice.

But in the spirit of this game:

"Cry me a river, build me a bridge, and get over it!"

(my sister is a school teacher and uses that line with her students.

)
