So I got bored of whining about ancient starts and decided I'd do something about it....
I have lots of time, excellent computer and internet connection so I thought I'd host 1-3 ladder games daily that will definetely not be your average ladder games.
Here's what I thought:
Starting Era: Reneissance(however it's spelled)
Turns: 150-200t depending on the time ppl can afford but a longer than average game definetely.
Maps: Inland sea, lakes, balanced, team_bg and pangaea WILL NOT be played under any circumstances.
Both teamers and cton would be played and otherwise standard rules 2 city elimination etc. Propably all games would be 'No city razing' games as well. Except teamers maybe.
I will password protect every game with the password: 'Cool'
This is so there will be no misconception and angry ppl complaining about the rules and all that participate in the game already know that it will be different. Game name will be ICBM ladder.
What I want to know from you guys is that would you be willing to participate in the game and most important part, what time is the most likely time you are available? If possible, could you give me the time in GMT since I'm European so I'd have better concept of when to host the games.
I was also thinking that I will post in this thread a few hours or so before a new game starts. Please spread the password to my game only through PMs to the ppl you have played with, if any newbies want in, they need to sign up to these forums which means that they will most likely read Fried's strategy posts and be newbies no longer....
Too many newbies ruin games not with their gaming skills but the complete lack of any knowledge about rules or problems or bugs ppl are suffering from and then drop out of the game when somebody's game crashes and we don't continue it immediately, of course get pissed about it when ladder ppl will tell them they need to report and then start talking crap about ladder. Those ppl are not welcome to my games
Huh what a long post but got it done finally, please comment and if majority wants some small tweaking done to the rules perhaps I can show flexibility but starting era will only be changed to Industrial maybe in the 150t games.
