Hello !

The purpose of this post is to regroup noobs who want to do some directplay.

Please don t forget to mention your GMT time.

************************************************** ************************************
Noobies interested in directplay :

Bullock (GMT+2)
Mojo the Avenger (GMT+5)
Mightypeon (GMT??)
Agelian (GMT+10)

[Mojo the Avenger]

I'd be interested. GMT +5

Were you going to host it?

If you are then great. We can use more hosts. If not then there are the always-open games here...

(but NOT the Chaos games if its for newbies)

Or if you have any special settings you can request it be put on the server

A first player nice =)
In fact in think i m GMT +2 (maybe summer/winter change of time)

@gandalf
i haven t digged much about directplay hosting. But i knew your website so i was sure i could at least host trough it.

But if it s easy to host directly i will do that way.

btw thank you for your help and your site !

[Bullock]

Ok so it seems directplay isnt that popular.
I think we can start by reserving some time depending on our availability.
I suggest we do our game on saturday 9th of july at 10Am GMT (which means noon for me at GMT+2 and 3Pm for you Mojo).
Btw i ve lot of freetime in july so don't hesitate to make proposal for another rendez-vous.

Tell me if this can feet your schedule Mojo.
And i hope one or 2 others players will join our feast =)

I dont know if its the direct play as much as the blitz. Getting together to try and get many turns in a game in the same hour is hard unless you do it in one of the chatrooms. IRC channels tend to do blitzes best. But for one-turn-a-day games, direct or pbem seem to be about the same

[Bullock]

i was planing to do this almost one shot, taking the blitz mode with 50 territories. (i guess it d take like 3-4hours?), depending of my opponents will.

I also had in mind to regroup all participants in a Mirc chatroom to ease the playing.

I m waiting mojo's and others potential players wishes.

[Mojo the Avenger]

Yeah that sounds good. 11pm GMT would work a little better for me, but I can do 10 if necessary.

[Bullock]

Ok we lock 11am GMT this next saturday.

If any1 want to join but can t at this time give us your own availability.

[llamabeast]

It is sometimes easier to organise this kind of thing via the #dominions irc channel. See the sticky in the main forum.

[Bullock]

Yeah i gave it a try but i don t expect to find noob on mirc.
Btw i ll give it another try if we are short of people by saturday

[Gandalf Parker]

Have them all meet you in the Chat here (the link marked chat at the top of this page)
Then if you dont get enough you can hit the other channels for a game

[Bullock]

We are still looking for 1 or 2 noobies to join for a game played the 9th of july at 11am GMT.

Or maybe an experienced people who think he can handle 2 noobs =):hurt:

[Mightypeon]

Well, I am certainly a noob, and to make things more nooby, ill try to use MA Ulm ;)

[Bullock]

well it was this afternoon ^^
but i keep ur name as interested !

[agelian]

I would have loved to join but I think my GMT+10 might throw things off a little.. though atm I do tend to be awake till 3-4am on average.

[Bullock]

Guys i have started a blitz session on gandalf's server.
Any noobs with some freetime in daytime are welcome.
