Send that. Sorry for the delay (timezones).

Also, my email is listed in my forum profile.

I knew that.

Also, just to get an idea of when people will be able to play, what time zones are you in?  I'm GMT -8 PST.

[10ebbor10]

GMT: +1

[Twiggie]

GMT.

thought it'd be fast than this :<

[PTTG??]

PBEM is really, really slow.

Consider it chess by mail.

[Twiggie]

Ah, that reminds me, please gimme a shout if you dont know who to forward to.

[10ebbor10]

Yeah, I think we have a timezone problem here. Meaning that getting more than one turn will be rather hard.

[Twiggie]

maybe we should restart and order players by timezone :p

[Karlito]

I'm EST (GMT -5), though I keep odd hours. Ordering people by timezone (or whenever they have freetime) is a decent idea, though I think we wouldn't be able to choose our factions then. With 7 players, doing 1 turn every 48 hours would be a good pace, 1 turn every 24 will be a miracle.

[Un67]

I'm also EST as well. Also, could someone post the faction order, or change the one on the front page to the correct one? It would really be helpful to see and prepare.

[Karlito]

I agree that it should be in the OP, but it goes
Gaians
Hive
University
Morganites
Spartans
Believers
Peacekeeprs

Apparently we can change that order if we edit the .ini file, though I'm not sure of the optimal time zone arrangement.

EDIT: I extrapolated GlyphGryph and PTTG??'s timezone from profile information. We could go Gaians, Peacekeepers, Hive, Believers, Spartans, Morganites, University, which would put us roughly in ascending timezone order.Definitely having all the Europeans on one or the other end of the turn order could make it possible to do 24-hour turns.

[Twiggie]

oh thanks karl, saves me the trouble.

i definitely think it's worth doing. if we're going to play for 3 months and it saves us one day every five turns (35 player turns), which i think is a low estimate of what it will save, that's.... a whole lot more turns!

i'll just do a quick playtest to check if it will work if only i change the ini file, then I'll make the change

[Un67]

OK, so should I hold off on doing my turn for now, then?
