Name of Game: Waterways and Wizards
Description:
A game being ruled by all-powerful wizards and great armies on earth, air and sea.
A well-balanced scenario created by myself. Every side starts with a city capable of producing wizards and waterways are
a vital mean of transport. (not too vital, don't worry)

Directions for Interested Players:
For I created the scenario myself, I will send it to all players as soon as the game starts. The city and army set are
standard, but I will send them to u too, if u haven't got them for one reason or another (just tell me)
If u are interrested in this game, u should mail me:
- Your Name
- Your EMail Address (just to be sure...)
- Your Country Name
- Your Color (give subtitutes)
- Your Level of Play (Beginner, Intermediate, ...)
- If u want QUESTS or not
- What should be done if the "3 Days and out Rule" applies (see below), if u don't like the deafult procedure.
- If u need scenario installation instructions
- maybe some personal information or anything else u want to tell me
Additional Comments, Thoughts, Suggestions:
As mentioned before, I'd like to have a smooth and fast game, so the max File Turnaround Time
has been set to 2 days.
To prevent the game file being kept by one player for weeks I suggest the "3 Days and out"
Rule:
That means, that if you pass on the game file to the next player, and don't get a message
that he made his turn within three days (end of third day, so if Monday the file is sent,
Tuesday would be day one and Thursday evening is deadline) then you should take one of the
following actions:
- Default: Computerize the slacker and send the file to the next player
- Alternative: If the lost player has given specific standing instructions what to do in this
case (like "Start my turn, hire any heroes, end my turn" or "Pass the game to my substitute
somebody@somewhere.com") that would override the default.
- OR: If the lost player knew he would be unreachable for a certain time, he should
announce this to all players and give instructions on what to do or assign a substitute. This
of course overrides all.
Hollydays and such do not count, but since they aren't necessarily the same in each country, there should be a short mail about what's going on.
A short note at the end: whenever you mail anything to me or one of the other players, put "(W2 WW&W) " as a prefix in front of the subject (standing for Waterways and Wizards).
So everybody knows it's about this Warlords 2 PBEM Game. Else it can get really confusing if u play in more than one game at a time.
Have a nice War!
