I'm hosting a PBEM 3 player, 5 day forced hosting game (called Shrapnel) on the Reemergence of Urgaia map. Independent strength 6, info on other nations disabled, and renaming allowed. Everything else is default. This is my first attempt at hosting a game (of any kind) so bear with me. Also, I'm not a very good player, so keep that in mind before you decide to join. I will play as the third nation after the other two have been picked. Mention the name of the game (Shrapnel) when you send the pretender. Send pretenders to singleman5[AT]hotmail[DOT]com. Thanks!

Why 5-day forced host? That seems like an unusually long time.

My work schedule sometimes doesn't allow me to play a turn more often than that. Most times though I can do a turn within 1 to 3 days.

I'll try ermor, if that is ok.

I'm not that great, either.

Come on! I know one of you out there can fit this into your schedule. With a small map and 5 day hosting won't take up much of your time at all. Plus you know I'm playing ermor, so pick marignon and beat the stuffing out of me. Then again, you could pick raptors or barbarian kings and probabl still beat the stuffing out of me.

You all should just play 1-1. 3 players always devolve into two on one and thats no fun. Plus that last sentence rhymes.

Especially with 2 players and Ermor. However, I think that's probably a fair matchup... I could probably *compete* with 2 players as Ermor, winning against two weak players, and losing against two strong players. And I'm not particularly good as Ermor, or very experienced in MP.

OK, since there appears to be little interest in this game, how about we play a 2 player game, Oversway?

If this is still open, I would like to play. I have not played MP before, so I am sure that I have developed some bad habits that you folks could cure, heh heh....

Cool! Glad it started. What did Shane_S pick?

Yeah I guess this may become 2 on 1. Oh well.

Shane is Ulm. Next time I'm starting a 4 player game in an attempt to head off the 2 on 1 griping. If I do that, though, people will probably complain the game could devolve into a 3 on 1 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif
