spcwrnglr Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 First off, thanks everyone for the feedback in regards to my initial thread "Thinking of returning to the CM series." It sounds like everyone still has the love of the game, here. I've been doing more forum browsing the past couple of days, and I'm wondering, what is everyone playing, these days? When I was playing CM1, my favorite was PBEM double-blind scenarios. Are people still PBEMing? I ask because the Opponent Finder forum is totally blank! If I am a double-blind PBEMer, will I be able to find a game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endymion Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 If you're looking for PBEM opponents I can recommend you Few Good Men forum: http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/thefgmforum/ It's very easy to find an opponent there, both for CMBN and CMFI, scenarios, QBs etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMotion Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 And CMx2 games aren't really well suited for file transfers as mail attachments. Because files are much larger than in CMx1. Most active players use Dropbox instead. And almost as many H2HH utility to automate this file copying between Dropbox and CM's Input/Output folders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I am playing one of the games within the game—modding CMFI right now. As far as when I really play the game, I'd say 90% of my games have been PBEM (which have been mostly QBs). Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't run into any problems yet with file transfers being too large, but maybe I'm just playing smaller scenarios. What I don't like about using Dropbox is that it tends to stifle email interaction between opponents. There's much more back and forth from each opponent when you're forced to send the file through email. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An in game chat window is the cure for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

togi Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I don't use H2HHelper but IIRC there is a message capability there. there is a message box in H2HH program. it's very good tool to warn opponents for late turns 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eniced73 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I don't use H2HHelper but IIRC there is a message capability there. Correct. DB and H2HH go together like peanut butter and jelly. The chat function will do exactly what you want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 When I was playing CM1, my favorite was PBEM double-blind scenarios. Are people still PBEMing? I ask because the Opponent Finder forum is totally blank! If I am a double-blind PBEMer, will I be able to find a game? My favorite way to play as well. My self and several others on this list play on the ladder at the blitz. Over there I am "A Canadian Cat" hope to see you there if you join up.
