Lightbulb The rise of a noob god (Running)

i haven't choose the settings yet. Atm, The 1rt purpose of this post is to determine if we can get enough players to a new kind of play which will be compound of some partial pbem and partial directplay. (hosted on gandalf's server)

Directplay & pbem:

The game would start by a directplay session of few hours on a Sunday. Reaching turn 40-50 or so would be a nice objective so i think we should count for 3hrs to be fine. After this session of directplay the game go back to the traditional pbem (in fact still directplay but game going like pbem) with turns rate to be dicussed (48h?). The game could also switch again to directplay if everyone want to.


The game itself


Noobs only(<10games).
Motivated (No AI until really screwed)
4-7 Players
Small to mid map

Players:
Ermor> Bullock
Bogarus> Agelian
patala> sil (DEAD)
Atlantis_> KillerClowns
Ulm_> Umsolfunolanis
Utgard> licker

The Poll

The purpose of the poll is to determine which clock range fit the best the schedule of our potential pretenders for this 3hours play estimation.
Therefore you can vote several times, the sum of your votes represent your personal clock range.
Since people can be available a sunday but not the next one i will pick the Sunday 24th of July for a first try.
If you are interested by this kind of game but can t play this sunday 24th then don't vote and mention it by posting here.
************************************************** **********************************
Edit 24/07

All the chatting stuff will be on the shrapnel chat.
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/misc....ashchat&room=1

A timer will be set at this adress:
http://rowling.freenode.net/
Nick = Your nation
Chan = #Dom3

A sound alert (not very loud) should pop 1 min before the end of the turn and when the turn is done.
Turn timer start as soon as we have access to it.
A 5-10 min break will be made at turn 15,25,35,43,50 unless everyone is rdy to go forward.

The 15 first turns will have a 7 min timer.
11 min timer above and until most of the players want more.

Each player can lenghten turn 2 times in the game by 5 min

2nd Edit:
The first Directplay has been made the next one will be on sunday the 31rt at 6Pm GMT.
Until then the hosting will be 48h/turn.
Thanks to everybody for this smooth start.

This is as good away to start facing off actual human beings as any other. If this gets any tractions, I call dibs on Atlantis. Let's see what sort of hilarity ensues.

I'd be very interested in this format. I'd be inclined to play Caelum or Agartha in that order of preference

I am interested in this kind of a game. I don't care what era or nation, though I'm not a huge fan of the many ages mod myself.

Oh, and might I suggest that everyone get on the chat during the game time? Diplo is the thing that will suffer most, as will trading.

Unless the goal is not to have much of either

I also don't think it's reasonable to think we'd get to turn 40 in 3h, but that's one of those 'we'll see' items.
