Greetings;
I'll put together my race tonight. I had to work this weekend, which was quite a surprise. Naturally that demonstration of how much I am needed was followed by notice that I'm being included in a layoff... should be interesting, since a lot of engineers that are to be kept rely on my work. I foresee big bucks to be made when management figures out that they need me after all.
Marduk
Edit: race file sent.

Which time zone does each player live in ? I live in Denmark, which is GMT+1 (after we end daylight savings time tomorrow night, and until the last weekend in march when we change back to daylight savings time).
What are the rules (if any) on contact between players after the game starts ? Are in-game messaging the only method of contact allowed, must first contact be made through in-game mesaging with further contact by e-mail or instant messaging (such as ICQ, or Windows Messenger from Micro$oft) allowed, or is any method allowed at any time ? I think that detail should be discussed, and a ruling decided, before the game starts.

I notice no one has answered your questions yet. I live in the eastern US, which I believe is GMT-5 now.
As far as contact goes, all I've noticed that can be connected to that is the 'no pre-game alliances' clause. My preference would be no email until in-game contact has been made.

I have one suggestion. When Ron sets up the game it will IIRC be on hold. I suggest that you at first set the max. time before generating a turn to a high value (a week is 168 hours) to ensure that all players know the game has started and can upload turns, then you change it to the normal max. time before generating a turn of 24 hours. That way noone will miss their first turn because they don't know the game has started or cannot upload their turn for some reason, but the game will still generate a turn when all players have submitted their first turn orders.
|
"normal" procedure is to leave the game on hold until all players have submitted thier first turn and then begin the regular schedule.

I am in Ontario Canada - which should be GMT - 6 with daylight savings time, I think.

One winner only.
Winner by vote (active players only).
|
The above mentioned clause seems imprecise therefore it should be discussed more since it is the only one winning condition. We should decide what majority of players designate the winner. Will it be unanimouse vote or perhaps certain majority for instance: 3/4 of players?
I opt for unanimouse vote.
With regard to communication - I opt for no restrictions in this respect, since even though restrictions would be applied, it will not be respected by players who would play as pre-game alliance. I hope that one winner condition is enough to prevent before such situations. Sooner or later allies will have to fight each other.
If you need to know I am playing from Poland what is GMT + 1 hour.

Ron usually does things like setting up the games and private forums over the week-end. He will certainly get to it.
Once the private game forum is set up I will ask to get this topic locked since the game has already started.

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.Report message to a moderator
