Halls of Valhalla: Forseti Middle Era Open

What particular is the problem? Is it the PBEM, or the time settings? I can change the latter.

[FAJ]

Its the former.

Question for non-interested people who've read the thread.
If you've looked at this proposal, and decided its not for you, what turned you off of the idea?

RE:FAJ
It's hardly that much hassle, my blather aside. Or at least I hope to convince you so. If I can't, well, sorry to see you go. It means we're further from getting the game up.

The pretenders a minor hassle, but only setup once. Its a matter of taking the pretender with the most recent timestamp and sending that one it.

With a good email program/website, it remembers where you've saved last, saving you quite a few clicks. It also remembers the 'subject' after a few letters, so you don't need to type up Chupacabra every time. I send my turn to jaguar and chupacabra with about four keystrokes.

On the plus side, this system results naturally in a backup of every turn in case something goes wrong.

There seems to be a fairly wide-ranging antipathy towards PBEM which I can't really understand - I'm pretty sure that if people tried it they would find it much less annoying than they imagine. I would say that for me it adds maybe 10 seconds on to either side of taking the turn. Ah well.

Incidentally LP, you don't need to type "Chupacabra" every time anyway - you don't need to put anything in the subject line (except for when you send your pretender in).

Wouldyou be up for setting up a epic heroes mod (Map: no preference)?


By the way, I like PBEM better, (for one, sometimes the reminder of the email file is good so I don't miss a turn!)

Personally, I just prefer games larger than this.

Sign me up!!!!

can I be Machaka??

my emails juzzaman(at)gmail(dot)com

[llamabeast]

Juzza man, you should mung your e-mail address so it doesn't get harvested by spam bots! Change it to juzzaman[at]gmail[dot]com or something.

I had the llamaserver address up for a bit un-munged, and you wouldn't believe how much spam it gets now! Happily the server reads it for me, establishes there are no 2h files attached and throws it away (having sent the spammers a no doubt confusing error message), so no work for me!

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Correct me if I'm wrong, llamabeast, but Juzza, there's no need to post your email here. Once the games set up, you simply need to send in the pretender, and the server will remember to send the turns to the same place.

As regards the rest- I'll deal with that after a full nights sleep, but yes Machaka, Epic Heroes - maybe - I'm not the one to convince, fellow players are. Why not? will suffice for assent. Game can grow larger if people join fast enough - then we'll switch to Aran (which is a 6-10 player map I'll cap at 8 players max to keep things from being too crowded.) - I'll decide fast enough later, but provisionally, if have 5 players and thread is inactive for 48 hours, game starts- new one opens. Will pick middle-road map between Aran and whatchamacalit.
Oh, and whatchamalit map- prefer wrap-no-wrap?

[Juzza]

oh, sry only been in one multiplayer game, huh, that makes it a lot easier, cool, can't wait till it starts!!
