PBEM game: The first step (Running)

[Alneyan]

I have all Pretenders except for Bigdaddy's (Pythium).

Alneyan -
Any chance there's room for one more? I've been "lurking" for months now on the boards, and only play SP so far. Figured I'd give MP a try. Let me know if one more is okay. I'd be willing to select an available race and start a pretender (using 2.01 zen mod, I believe).

Let me know, otherwise I'll just keep watching and get in another game. Thanks!

Welcome aboard Shmonk!

Eight players should fit quite well on Inland (about 18 provinces per nation), and the game hasn't started yet. Please select a land nation (there are very few sea provinces on Inland), create a Pretender using Pretenders 2.01, and send the Pretender file to me (it can be found in the newlords directory).

Ok, I choose Marignon, and have just created a pretender. It's on it's way via email. Thanks!

On average, how long do newbie games last, would you say, 30-50 turns, or not even that long? Just curious to get your impressions.

[Alneyan]

I am not sure if a newbie game has a different length compared to other games; usually, games seem to last 60 turns or so, but that depends a lot on the aggressiveness of all the involved parties.

Another map on Inland with 6 teams of 2 players is already nearing its end (I think) at turn 40, while I am hosting a Karan game already past the "turn 100" mark, with no end in clear sight.

Thanks for the info.

Valent => I have replied to your mail, rather than here. But in short, I'm afraid we already have a full house here: eight players for Inland is fine for a beginner game, and more may make the game overcrowded.

I am thinking there would be interest in this sort of game on the French boards, but I could be wrong on that one (I haven't been paying much attention there in the past couple of weeks).
