Rookie looking for pbw game to join

Submitted by ernesto79 on Wed, 2007-06-06 17:17. Space Empires V Multiplayer

Hi, i would really like to join a (new) pbw game but i am hestitant, fearing being overwhelmed by multiplayer veterans ^^

anyone starting a more 'relaxed' game (ie easy on a multiplayer noob)
or a game i could join as a replacement thats still in the starting stages?

any mod or stock 1.35 onwards

thanks for reading this ^^

I have only started single stuff so would be easy kill also.

I will PBW with you.

Make a game at the pbw site and in the description put in some thing to make the game a learning game.

Help! I have been assimilated

If we can get 4 noops that want to learn first then I can make a game.

So far we have:

We have the 4 so ernesto79 make a game and accept only us in it.

You could call it the "4 noobs Game".

As far as settings go with the defaults you see in Single player.

The game will list the settings then we upload our empire files.

I would like to get in a game with other new players.
I realize you may not have room but if you find yourself in need of another player (a real noob at multiplayer) I would like to get in a game.

If you don't have room I'll try to catch the next game.

Now I'm looking around for my rule book on how to set up and play multiplayer games.

Good Luck all

I have never set one up either so this will be a new experience for me if someone does not grab at the chance of a lifetime before me.

To anyone interested. Remember this will be a learning game so patience is a must.

Looks like Blue Templar was a fly by night comment so will start the game without him.

I did send him a PM and no answer.

I got a few of errors -

Two flag sets errors - I downloaded the ship sets and poof I'm OK there now

But this is the error I get now.

"
The Data files currently being used do not match the data files that were used
when this game was started. Please check with your host to get the correct data
files.
"

One other question - the email stated this

You can submit your turn by replying to this e-mail (do NOT change the subject!) and attaching your turn (using MIME)

What is MIME???

- This is not important.
- AFAIK it's what most e-mail clients use to attach messages.

Also, I never said I wanted to join this game. Smiling
