Send name, location, E-mail address, phone #, list of colors in preferred
order and country name. Please include any possible changes of status
(vacations, changing jobs, leaving school, or moving to Bali-Bali) within
the next year so we can coordinate our
absences/substitutions/resignations.
Additional Comments, Thoughts, Suggestions:
This will hopefully be a fast turnaround game. Perhaps I'm being a
little
overly optimistic. :) I am limiting turn turnaround to 3 days, including
weekends. In other words, if you don't have E-mail access 7 days a week,
then this is not the game for you (unless of course if you don't mind
going AI). This will be tracked by having each person send out a group
E-mail as they send their turn to the next person so that everyone
involved
will know where the most recent version of the game is and can anticipate
how soon they will be able to take their next turn.
This is my first PBEM game, but with the guidelines set out by Bob, I
think
it will go OK. If we find we need some more, we can always make them up
as
we go along. If anyone has any suggestions or comments, please send them
along. Note that the color preference is on a first-come first-served
basis.
I will be taking the first turn by default so don't bother picking White.
However, if Yellow is still open, then I'll probably switch to that. In
any
case, I won't even be generating the map until all sides are
determined.
