Blue Macs Posted August 9, 2000 Share Posted August 9, 2000 maybe the setup should just be left as it is for the 1st round village mod trees mod hills time date and weather are already set in the rules BM ------------------ "If you see a white plane it's American, if you see a black plane it's the RAF.

Ted Posted August 9, 2000 Share Posted August 9, 2000 OK 82 emails total for a 20 turn game. Playing people in the same time zone would help. What if we tried to schedule emails at say 6pm and 8pm for one side and 7pm and 9pm for the other (for those of us who work days), maybe a couple extra on the weekends. Plan on a minimum of 4 to 6 weeks to finish a 20 turn game. Multiply that by three games per round and that’s some Banzai game playing. Of course not all the games will go 20 turns.

Melloj Posted August 9, 2000 Share Posted August 9, 2000 Have you sent out the email with the rules yet? All i got was the email to look at the board for discussion about the tourney. Cant wait for the Fun! adamw66@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Macs Posted August 9, 2000 Share Posted August 9, 2000 i say you just send the files whenever you can. that way its done as quick as possible and you dont have to worry who is in what timezone + you know everyone is doing what they can to keep it moving BM ------------------ "If you see a white plane it's American, if you see a black plane it's the RAF.

Ted Posted August 9, 2000 Share Posted August 9, 2000 Von Shrad is looking for a time frame for the 1st round to be completed. I don’t care how many or when emails are sent. I just brought up the timing idea because I don’t see myself logging on and checking my email every couple of hours to see if I’ve received a turn. I’ll discuss whatever emailing routine or lack there of with my opponents. The question still remains, how long should a 20 turn (82 email) game take.

Blue Macs Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 3 simultaneous games reqiures sending 6 and recieving 6 emails for each turn. so if you send 6 emails a day the first round will take nearly 3 months.............is that right ...........yes it is. wow thats a long time, getting into the second round by christmas, hmmmm. so to get the 1st round done inside a month ( amore reasonable timescale) we're talking sending 18 emails a day ( and recieving that many aswell) and thats a hell of a lot and i am sure that some will not be able to do this, but those are the figures . iknew the a-level maths would be useful oneday. so what do you all think about that then, what do you reckon is the best trade-off between emails per day and time taken to finish. and.....GO ------------------ "If you see a white plane it's American, if you see a black plane it's the RAF.

Stuka Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 Don't beat yourselves up over the time to finish a game fellas. It finishes when it finishes. I've got 6 Pbems on the trot at the moment and my procedure is this: Get home from work/uni and check e-mail, movies take roughly 5 min to watch from whatever angle, plots take 10-15 min depending on how fussy I feel at the time so we're talking maybe 1/2 hr to 45 min to play all games. I then forget all about it until 1/2 hr or so before bed when I do it all again. This keeps things moving along nicely and if someone misses a day here and there its no big deal. I figure a 20 turn game on average should take 2 weeks (min) to 3 weeks (max) I'm patient (ie. not in a hurry to die) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaffertape Posted August 15, 2000 Share Posted August 15, 2000 The rules sound good to me. I'm fairly certain that I'll be eliminated in round one, but I'm looking forward to the arse kicking. Even dying is fun in CM. Cheers GAFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
