PBW "newbie game"

[Baal]

I've got my 2400.4 turn uploaded so you guys don't have to wait on me again. See all ya in the morning.

10 Am will be hard for me. I would rather have everybody reserve say an hour a day (9 PM to 10 PM EST?) to be at his PC, send in his turn, send in the next turn 10 minutes later, etc.
What I do is have my email program running at all times, and then I play solo SE4. When I hear the little ding dong (you got mail) I save my game, play the PBW turn, upload it, and go back to my solo game. Ensures a fast turnaround on incoming emailed turns.

9:00 pm - 10:00 pm EST (7:00 - 8:00) would be fine for me for now I suppose. I may work through to 10:00 though sometimes. How about an hour later? 10:00 pm - 11:00 pm? I never work past 8:00 MST.

No more work for the weekend, so it looks like I'll be able to get lots of turns in...

Personally, I finding the simultaneous movement is throwing me off a bit, but I think I'm getting more used to it pretty quickly.

Yeah, it's throwing me off a bit too. OTOH, it does prevent things like: open WP, send in star destroyer, blow star, close WP. You'd have to do it in two turns now, instead of the one-turn instant blow in turn-based mode.

Oh, and on the timeframes: sorry to throw a wrench in the works guys, but we'd have to it on a day-by-day basis. I can't plot out a set time I can be there every day. Probably should take that to the game forum, as well.

Hey we're doing well on the newbie games today. Across the two newbie games I got in 3 turns within an hour.

As for timeframes. I'm here in the afternoons, but can dedicate more time to gaming in the evening/night. (less distractions). But since Phoenix doesn't have a fixed time window per day that he's available, the point is moot I guess.

This seems to be progressing fairly quickly now. Of course, this is just a shameless post as I could claim it to be #27000 on the board!

I'm glad I started to play all my games in SiMov mode, it acclimated me to the format.

Indeed, it is moving quite fast now.

The Terran Federation has just encountered their first alien race. Unfortunately their a neutral empire of violent renegades.

Perhaps, they can learn of alternatives to their violent and savage ways and established peaceful relations with me...

Well, that's bad for the rest of us. Someone is soon to have a slave race. I'm going to have to work harder to find a little slave race to call my own now.
