Hehe, at least we're all on a level playing fieldI know X-Danger was an award winning MPer, so its a shame he's not here to help up out.
I am quite happy to try and play a few trial games with folks to see how things work etc. My MSN thingy should be below if you want to contact me and try and arrange a game
"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

Mount,
I "think" I've managed to send you an IM.

Re: The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV
Well, I obviously want this PBM to end with a bang, and I'd like to help build up that bang. But MP doesn't quite sound that attractive seeing my internet speeds aren't great, which is the understatment of the year by the way. So, if there would be an other way (I think I've seen a couple of such ideas in this thread) then I'd be interested.
As said, I won't be watching this one out - I may even pick a side

Dutch - I think what we're going to go with is a mix of the methods Econ21 has thought of.
Personally, I like the hands on approach of MP battles (though never played any) and if connection speed is an issue then I think it'll be a matter of negotiation at the time with whomever you're up against.

Ok, that sounds good.Originally Posted by Braden
Well, obviously the hands on approach is a fitting one to end our PBM in, but as said, I'd be playing at frame rates which would take all the excitement out of the MP battle.

As others, I'm all for it, but I cannot play multiplayer battles, so I guess the custom battle option is the better one... On the other hand, i'd like to see the results somehow trascend to the campaign map....

Re: The Will of the Senate PBM - out of character thread IV
Perhaps for those of us with poor connections or other issues, we can mix the methods.
Have the two opposing players draw up a general battleplan after a battlefield is chosen, then give those plans to players with better connections to have the battles fought out, but they'd have to follow the plans exactly and the plan would have to be fairly well detailed and explained.
