Saturday game

[Agent SMith]

Assuming that the game will arrive soon...

Right now there is a topic for Sunday game(which I already signed up for) but I figured it is not gonna hurt us to have another topic for Sat, demand for games seems to be greater than supply.


1453

France - ??
Russia - ??
Austria - ??
Spain - ??
England - ??
OE - ??
Brandenburg - ??
Sweden - ??
Poland - ??
Portugal - ??
Bohemia -??

Let's start the body count...who is in???

PS Please put down a country that you would like even if you just want to sub.

 

[FJ!]

I'd very much like to join, but playing on sundays is preferable. The fact is that there are alot of people playing in Slargos game, so we can simply split that one and start our own.

I'll take OE, and I might be able to host. We should get a few potential hosts, and try them out a day before gaming though, so the first session goes as smoothly as possible.


And on another note, I hope everyone is reliable... My wish is that the Danielness of EU2-MP transpants into EU3-MP farily soon .

 

[unmerged(64704)]

I might like to play, but I can't commit myself to I know for sure when we are playing.

 

[FJ!]

...And yeah, if we DO play saturday we should play early in the day, to avoid conflicting schedules . 10-14 for example, nothing bad about playing with a bit of a hangover

yeah, hangovers and Paradox are a winning combination! :rofl:

but I can't play at that time. maybe if it was 14-18?

 

[FJ!]

argh, I have my weekly game of football at that time... though I won't rule out a bit of eu-priority

Let's see if more people sign up first though, and then decide on time and day. Also it's pretty important that people are reliable, from my experience games in eu2 MP fell apart rather quickly if participants weren't serious enought. Being on time, behaving honorably and playing longterm should be basic requirements for participating in any MP-game.

EDIT: and yeah, we're talking about Central European Time right?

 

[Axel]

I'll sign up for sweden then

 

[FJ!]

On second note, I'll take any land-oriented country with potential for lots of challenging wars I'd prefere the OE of course, but Russia(Muscowy since we start in 1453), Poland etc is good aswell

I'd say we aim for 8-10 players, can't be too hard if we take some from the slargos game.


Yeah I know, a shameless bump before heading off to bed

 

[FJ!]

Wow, this really sank fast in 10 hours... I'll do another shameless bump then.

Come on, we need about 5 more players, possibly 6 if we're to play as 10. If it's alright with Agent Smith I'll co-GM the game.

EDIT: We REALLY need a seperate forum for MP, and fast...

 

[Flooper X]

i'll be brandenburg, but i'd like some more information, for example, at what hours in what time zone, etc. (i'm in sweden, which would be central european time)

 

[Axel]

FJ, I think maybe u should be gm since we havn't seen any sign of agent smith.
I agree with u that we need a MP forum for EU3. Either on the paradox forums or if someone can create a new forum like "blood and iron" forum for victoria mp games.

 

[FJ!]

Right, then since Mr Smith hasn't posted in a while, I'll take the freedom of making a summary.

Preliminary time: SUNDAYS 18-22 CET or SATURDAYS 12-16

This is the scenario:

start 1453

We need about 5 more.

I suggest we use Central European Time(CET i.e GMT+1).

Game is currently scheduled on Saturday with no specific time, however I would like each participant to post three things:

1. Prefered country (post three for better flexibility)
2. Prefered Time and day (Post it in CET, usually Mp-games are played for four hours. You can also suggest a different day of the week if you want to)
3. Your ICQ #. This is for conducting diplomacy inbetween sessions, and an easy way to get in touch.

 

[unmerged(49182)]

Can you host FJ?

 

[FJ!]

Can you host FJ?

Yupp, I've done so on occation, and now both my computer and my connection is upgraded and more stable.

I suspect EU3 doesn't need more than 2GB RAM and 15Mbit

EDIT: though just to be absolutely sure, I suggest we do a pre-start test.

 

[unmerged(49182)]

Nice.

I might consider joining, it all depends on the time when you play though so Ill wait a bit until I can confirm. Id definately prefer to play during the day (not after 18:00 CET). Not before 12:00 either, I need my sleep.

 

[FJ!]

Then I'll be the good GM and post my preferences first

1. Prefered country: OE, Muscowy, Poland. All eastern
2. Prefered Time and day: Anytime between 10:00 and 17:00 is fine with me(might be able to stretch that till 18:00 if enought people want to). I can also play on Sundays.
3. ICQ #: 211-547-342

 

[Flooper X]

ok
1. Brandenburg, Sweden, Ottoman Empire

2. anytime on a saturday, but sundays are fine too, although not preferrable

3. I don't have ICQ, will I have to get it in order to participate?

 

[FJ!]

3. I don't have ICQ, will I have to get it in order to participate?

It's highly preferable. It's easy to download and install anyway, and for some reason eu-mp has always used ICQ. You can't argue with ignorant tradition

 

[Flooper X]

ök then, my number is 486-451-673

 

[Agent SMith]

Couple of things..

FJ thanks for organizing things.

Normally any time works for me on Sat. I live in EST. ICQ 31019860

I have a pretty good connection during non-pick hours, so if something doesn't work out with FJ I can be a secondary host.

Also, please don't laugh but I just realized that next Saturday is my birthday and I am having a party LOL - so please mark me down as a sub/player for Saturday Feb 2rd - I will take any country that is still in fairly good shape and available, since I can't play next Sat :wacko:

Thanks
