'lo all. So, dedlurking from the sidelines has made me realize that I'd love to play in something similar to PB7 myself, and I'm reasonably sure some others might be interested too. I'm not overly burdened with time, but a light, fun game on a large scale would be right up my alley. Basically, looking at it set up like a fun SP game, but in Pitboss format. Anyone interested?
Settings we're looking at:
Quote:RB Mod
Big and Small script, with islands amidst continents, low sea level.
Large, ideally 10 or so players)
Random leader/civs
Random events on
Huts on
Barbs on
CTON (AI diplo only)
Quick speed
Tech trading ON (PBEM 20-esque)
Prince or Monarch difficulty
Map checked to ensure iron/copper/horse within ~12 tiles of start
Map checked, at least 4-food land tile added to capital(plains deer, dry rice, etc)
Double moves are okay, but wait 2 hours in between turns (al la PB7)
Player list:
Quote:Commodore
Krill
Cyneheard
Ceiliazul
Dazed/Scooter
Pindicator/Rego
Azza
BrickAstley
Yuri
Plako
We'd also need a mapchecker and a host, should a volunteer step forward. I'd really hope an admin wouldn't be needed, but that might be overly optimistic.

Use the RB mod and I'll play...I'd even agree to TT then

I'm interested, but not if there are as many players as there are in Pb7.

Oh, yeah. For a large Big and Small, 10 or 11 are about ideal, and I doubt there are 18 interested anyway, so yeah, much smaller scale.

It sounds fun, but again it will depend on having a reasonable amount of people, and time constraints in regards to playing myself. Though it'd be fun to play a game on a team as well

I strongly think that if you want tech trading, you have to use RB mod. Tech trading worked in PBEM20 because it didn't come into play too early, as it does in the original game

I'm keen, especially since PB7 ended so early for me.

In all seriousness, I'd play if it were RB mod with all those settings, though I'd not be that happy about the events (which I frankly just don't find fun). Vanilla BtS though...eeek, that sounds like torture.

On the plus side, if it were played in RB Mod, we could call it Pitboss 5!
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

Actually, you've uncovered my secret plan...I was going to ask T-hawk to reactivate the forum
