Any "newer" players out there want to play "Noobz in space"

[LonghornXtreme]

You smurfing Gandalf?

Well lets start deciding what settings we want...

If its not that big a deal to be a host and play in the same game then I don't mind being responsible at all... Not trying to shift any of the time committment or anything hehhe...

Oh theres no need for a FTP buddy... We'll use the PBW server to keep things nice and autmoated as much as possible... If you haven't already do as Fyron says and go register a player name on the PBW website and as soon as we agree on settings for the game I'll creat the game up there...

Anyone got any ideas for a title?

I just went and registered at PBW - may take me a day or two to get familiar with the site. There's a lot there.

As for a game title, "n00bz killing n00bz" will probably be appropriate. "n00bz in Space", "N00bz: This Time It's War", or "OMFG THE N00BZ R FITING!!11one". You know. Something with n00bz.

Nice welcome for the new guy(s), Fyron .

Hi!
is the game still open???, what's the time limit for the turn?

[kerensky]

How does a PBW game work??? The only games I've played with humans have been email games and those didn't do well.

I have created the game "n00bz in Space." Sign up!

Kerensky, go to www.pbw.cc and register. Then, go to the Currently Open Games section and find the game in the list. Click on it's link. There will be a Join Game button (lightning bolt in the graphics mode). Then, the host (me) will approve you to be in the game.

PBW works by waiting until either all .plr files are uploaded or the time limit for the turn runs out. Then, it process the turn and emails it out to all players (you can disable the mailing if you want). You play the turn, upload your .plr file, and wait for the next one.

These settings need to be determined...

Hosting takes very little time once the game is started. PBW does everything for you.

Basically, all the turn management is handled by PBW. You submit turns to PBW by uploading or emailing and get the back by downloading or email.

It's just a robot to handle the turn management.

I'd say lets bump up the amount of units and ships allowed...

But the tech seems fine and so does the start....

Thanks a bunch Fyron for helping us out....
