PBEM game: The first step (Running)

[Shmonk]

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).

I put a border around the edges of the tga of inland to help me orientate myself, because wrap around maps give me a headache.

[Alneyan]

The game won't mind, so long as the .tga file is still called inland. At least, I *think* the game won't mind.

The first turn has just been sent; please let me know as soon as possible if there is any problem.
