I'll have to sit this one out. I'm already over-extended. |

Admiral et. al.:I'd be happy to join a game.
I'm new to this sort of play -- but I'm smart, quick to learn, and have spent, in toto, about a year of my life playing SMAC and SMAX. How does this sort of multiplayer game work? Is it turn-based by email? Thanks much -- I know, nobody likes a newbie, but trust me... a little guidance would go a LONG way, in this case... Best! (and happy SMACing!)-

Pangloss,
this would be a PBEM game. However, this is also my first multiplayer game, so I am not the MOST qualified person to ask guidance from. |

It is turn-based. You take your turn and e-mail it to the next player. Someone needs to set it up, so typically we have been choosing faction prefernces here (and settings) and the one person sets it up and mails it to the first player. It seems to be a good thing if people try to post in this thread when they send the turn to the next player as well as which turn # it was because then people can see when problems occur. If you are going to play SMAC only (no Alien X-fire) don't open the file with SMAC-AX (else the file gets converted somehow to AX).Have fun, **F** |

Thanks for the guidance, Admiral and Flomper.
Please count me in, Admiral, assuming we get enough players -- I prefer the SMAX factions, but if this is a SMAC-only game, I'd be happy to be the Hive or the University. Do you (Admiral) or does Rue have any faction preference? And do we have a volunteer -- hopefully someone who's done this sort of thing before -- to set-up?Otherwise -- regarding the rules -- everything looks fine to me, Admiral; I fully support Directed Research and Thinker, and using the Map of Chiron (although I've kind of memorized it by now) would be okay. Best!-
