New casual game

[Owen]

OK, keep them coming. The idea will be to come back to this thread when organising the next session.

Pacifist, please accept my ICQ request.

Smn, agreed. Archduke and I both have the save, so it should be reasonably easy to organise. I'm toying with the idea of this Thursday night coming, but I'm not yet sure I'll be around.

 

[Lord Ederon]

I'm interested in this game

possible times for me: Wed (from 20GMT), Thu, Fri - best after 19GMT

 

[TheArchduke]

So how about a session on Tuesday, or Wednesday if Red doesn´t come again?

 

[unmerged(3158)]

Yeah I can be there.

Duma

Tuesday, at least two of the players are in Mach2, and I'm probably out. Wednesday, we will play if DU isn't on, but Red has said that it should be. How about Thursday, about 1900 to 2230 GMT?

Lord Ederon, I'm looking forward to it.

Duma, got you, I'll add you to the list.

Slugo, we'd love to have you, but I'm afraid midnight EST is 0500 GMT. We almost finish early enough for you to play before you go to work. There are several North American games going on, and you might be able to fit in one that runs in US West Coast evenings or something. Have a look at the sticky MP schedule in this forum for some ideas.

Excellent

The time, mentioned above by Owen, is fine with me. Btw my
intenet conn is pretty good. So, if you need a stable host,
I'd be glad to help you.

It's perfect!

how many people can your connection handle owen?

Also, how many of the original group are needed for playing?

I'm not sure, but it's a fast machine with 400 kb/s upstream speed, so it should be quite a lot. I have a feeling that Slargos's cutoff of 13 maximum may be due to his machine, not connection. Mowers did run stably with 20 in Tsunami.

Also, how many of the original group are needed for playing?

It doesn't matter exactly, though I'd prefer to choose the day in any given week when we can have as many as possible.

Sounds good

 

[unmerged(18425)]

Owen, can you perhaps give a list of the players next thursday with the countries?

 

[Owen]

OK. Last session, we had:

Owen - France (host, for tonight, anyway)
Archduke - OE
Duma - Spain
Inri - Brandenburg then Austria
smn - Austria then Brandenburg then Sweden
PJL - Muscowy
FAL _ England

This Thursday we have:

France - Owen
OE -
Spain - Duma (I think. Duma can you confirm Thursday is OK too?)
Austria - Inri
Sweden
Muscowy
England - FAL

Unknown - Archduke, smn

Free to play - Mulliman, UncleJ (Portugal, as long as we have enough people to justify it), Pacifist, Lord Ederon

Not around - PJL

Others are welcome and the current date means plenty of nations are still viable. I'll try to ICQ most of my ICQ list before DU tonight. Archduke and others might want to do the same. If anyone wants to get the save from me tonight, I should be on between 1830 and 1900 GMT before DU.

 

[Owen]

Oh, and we need a better name. Maybe we can discuss it tomorrow evening then I'll PM a mod to change the thread title.

So, can I play for Portugal?

 

[unmerged(21612)]

I am going to play too. What nation is available for me?

 

[Owen]

If we have enough players, we will play all of the listed countries, plus as many of Brandenburg, Poland, Portugal, Denmark and Mughals as we can manage. I hope to discuss with Archduke which of those nations are most important, though he may be a bit biased.

Pacifist, the only nation of the original ones that is definitely available tomorrow is Muscowy. I should have a better idea tonight though.
