Britannia Hotseat Campaign:OOC thread

[Zim]

1. England-Zim
2. Ireland-Phonicsmonkey
3. Wales-Roadkill
4. Scotland-deguerra
5. Norway-Cheetah

Rules:
-I'll be setting up a console enabled game, allowing me to change passwords if something happens, but I'm hoping not to have to.
-Regardless, I will need everyone's passwords (pm them to me) in case a turn must be skipped or played by a subtitute.
-I'd like players to complete their turns within 48 hours of it being uploaded by the player before them, or to notify me if circumstances require them to have more time.
-Behind the scenes negotiation and diplomacy is encouraged. However, If you want to make a public ingame pronouncement, doing it in this thread is fine. If enough people want to negotiate in the open, or just threaten eachother or gloat over victories, I can start an in character thread.

Save naming convention:
Britannia-1-1

Britannia for the campaign name, first 1 for the turn number, and the second number signifies which player is up.

e.g. England goes first, when I finish my turn I will save and upload as Britannia-1-2. Britannia, first turn, second player.

[Zim]

First order of business: Would anyone like an In Character thread to make proclamations, public negotiations, brag about victories, etc.?

[Privateerkev]

Sure, I just wouldn't expect anyone to use it for a few turns so it could wait.

[Zim]

I'll wait a bit then. It just occurred to me that A. at least one of the older Roman hotseats was full of public diplomacy as well as secret pm diplomacy, and B. In real history, many alliances and deals were open, as well as many being secret. I figure it might add a bit to the roleplaying of the game, especially if players could taunt eachother over battles and such.

[_Tristan_]

Why, oh why did I have to be offline yesterday evening ?

I would have joined... only too late...


Good luck on that PBM, have fun...



PS : Sorry for the hijack...

[Zim]

Sorry, Tristran. If it makes you feel better, I'm the faction with all the bullseyes on his back this time.

After our current round of Kingdoms hotseat games ends, I'm hoping we'll start another playing different factions. Another Britannia one will definately be on my list.

[Privateerkev]

I would definitely be up for playing the same campaigns over again but I'd prefer a different faction each time where possible.

[gibsonsg91921]

have a world council, like the diet of kotr but more like united nations. you can mock each other, etc. all the diplomats go to rome or something

[phonicsmonkey]

Gentlemen, I will be ready to play the first turn this evening after work, in about 8 hours or so..

I'm really excited, like a child before Xmas

[Zim]

I should be able to play either as soon as Roadkill posts in this thread saying he's ready to start, or after the 24 hour period ends, about 4ish your time. Let's see how quickly we can get the first two faction's turns in.

[RoadKill]

I'm ready.

[phonicsmonkey]

Damn I wish I had Kingdoms installed on my work computer

[Privateerkev]

Me too. But I work for an IT department at my university and they are pretty picky about what goes on their computers.

But I'm glad we're going to be under-way soon!

[phonicsmonkey]

lol - I think attempting to install M2TW or any computer game on my work PC would be a certain way to get myself fired pretty quickly....much like spending all day surfing computer game forums....erm

[Zim]

Ok, I'm going to set up the game and start playing.

[Zim]

My turn is done.

Phonicsmonkey, you're next.
Roadkill, I still need your password in case you need someone to sub for you some time.

[phonicsmonkey]

I should be able to get to it in the next couple hours...

[Zim]

Sounds good. Looks like we'll get at least two factions' turns in a few hours, maybe three if Roadkill does his, too. :D

[phonicsmonkey]

done and done

http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/Britannia-1-3.zip

[Zim]

We did it! Two turns in a couple hours. Depending on where in Canada he is, it might be too late for Roadkill to do his tonight, but that's still pretty good just starting out.

[Cheetah]

Away till saturday afternoon.

[Shahed]

Hey guys ! Thanks for the headsup Zim. Keep me in mind if you need a sub.

[RoadKill]

Where do i unzip the save to? I can't find my britannia folder.

EDIt: NVM FOUND IT. I should be done.

But i'm confused after I'm done all my stuff do i just click next turn and save it? or what.

[Zim]

Yeah, it took me a while to find the kingdoms folders the first time I did one of these games, . I guess you noticed they're in the "mods" folder.

The best thing to do is hit end turn, then when the screen asking for the next player's password comes up, hit escape and save the game. That way, the next person doesn't have a chance to see what you're up to.

[RoadKill]

How do I upload the save?

[RoadKill]

http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/?C=M;O=D

I don't know how to upload the direct link to the save, but I uploaded it into the PBM directory just sort the dates and its at the top.

[Zim]

You can upload it here in the filespace the ORG is kind enough to provide.

[Privateerkev]

I have the save but I'm beat and I drank a lot. I'll get to it when I wake up tomorrow. Since Cheetah is out till saturday anyways, I figure it's not a big deal.

[Zim]

No big deal at all, although I wish I'd been drinking tonight.

[Shahed]

I'm torn between going to a Pilsner Urquell pub or to a sushi bar for some Swanotsuru ! ...








Well... SAKE IT IS !!! BANZAI !!!
