.com.unity Forums - MP 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.

A sound alert (not very loud) should pop 1 min before the end of the turn and when the turn is done.
