PBEM42 Planning/Organizing Thread

[Catwalk]

I'd like to suggest double snake pick: Roll turn order first, then in reverse turn order each player picks his position in the snake pick. Gives a tiny advantage to those who are disadvantaged in the turn order.

[AutomatedTeller]

I'm fine with catwalk's snake pick idea.

I'm fine with no bans on leaders.

[Commodore]

Okay, seems reasonable. I've got to get time slots down before I can roll turn order if we're doing it that way. What else do you guys need?

[kjn]

I'm all in favour of keeping things simple.

I'm pretty flexible in time, but mornings and days CET (+1 GMT) fits me well.

[AutomatedTeller]

EDT (-5 GMT). Evening is probably better for me.

[Catwalk]

I'm CET too. kjn, I'm pretty sure CET is currently GMT+2. I'd prefer playing morning or early afternoon if possible. kjn, who do you think should go first of the two of us? Suggestion:

Catwalk
kjn
thestick (assuming he's US and that slot works for him)
AutomatedTeller

[kjn]

Daylight saving time makes no practical difference here.

Anyway, I have no real preference on going mornings or early afternoons, but mornings will be a little easier to schedule for me.

[Catwalk]

If mornings are reliable for you, that's fine by me. I'd prefer to have it around 12:00 or so if I go after you, does that sound realistic?

[kjn]

Yes, or at least before 1300 CET.

[Catwalk]

13:00 should be fine too, I generally play my turn in PBEM38 a little bit after that. So you before me sounds good. thestick and AutomatedTeller, when do you want to play?
