Casual PBEM (Full & playing)

[Micah]

yeah, and the last thing I want to have to worry about while being casual is consensus-building over how long is too long =)

Caelum pretender sent.

How about it just hosts whenever the host gets all the files; with 3 days being the max for a stale without an excuse/notification?

[RicoRico]

We can start the game.
As it's my first time, just to be sure:
Which files should I send you now, and then each turn?
I have:
- ftherlnd
- both map files (.rgb and .map)
- all .trn files
- all .2h files

[Sorlakind]

You must send the .rgb and .map files so that players have the map. You must also send the .trn files (the *turn* files) to all players. We, the players, after making our moves will send you the .2h files which you put in the game folder (by the way tell us the name of the game also). You host, and then send us the .trn files.

Rinse and repeat.

[RicoRico]

Thx Sorlakind.

I am sending the files to all of your email addresses in a 5 MB ZIP file.
The game name is:
CasualPBEMGame1

Let me know if you did not receive it!

Have fun!

[FAJ]

I don't know, my thought is for nice casual game a 10 day break (or whatever) should be fine, no big deal. The idea of having a set hosting schedule is to keep the game moving along at a reasonable pace whenever there is not a reason not to, but we can be pretty flexible as long as we're not just wondering if we're ever gonna hear back from somebody. FWIW, I second the suggestion for a 3 day max turn window without an excuse/reason. I'd also suggest that everbody try to take their turns as fast as they comfortably can whenever they don't have a reason not to...which is to say it'd be nice if some turns took less than 3 days.
