NEW SUNDAY GAME PROPOSAL

With Animal Farm being finished, I would like to set up a new sunday game.

The timeslot would be 18:00-22:00 OR 19:00-23:00 CET

At the moment, I am fairly open minded towards the setup of map, scenario and so on, but admit I am actually leaning towards the old vanilla map again, due to balance reasons :D
But I can imagine the majority of the players still being interested in a new map game, so I am fairly open to this.

Since I am quite busy with other things, I would like to make the stress for the GM (IE me) minimal and thus keep it restricted to a casual setting. IE, no special things as in DU 1.5 or a RPG heavy game with missions and such as I did in destiny. I know some players really would like to do a RPG game again, but I simply don't self have the required time to make it a quality RPG game.

So, if you can and want to play at the timeslot, please say here with which setup:
  • AoD mod with 1492 scenario
  • WatK3v1 mod with 1419 scenario
  • Vanilla, 1520 scenario
  • Vanilla with the AoI mod, 1568 scenario

I can play and even later if that suits people better. I dont mind any type of map
 
I am of course up for it.

I really really insist we play with AOD map though. Balance can be sorted pre game via edits.

I would propose some kind of limits on early expansion into HRE and italy though.

Countrys im interested in

england
OE
sweden
france
 
I'd love to say I could play, but my schedule till mid may is pretty unknown, as anyone playing AF has found out. Put me down as a sub, and after a certain point we'll see if I need to take over as a perm anywhere.
 
BTW, if any guys wants to join a CK-EU2-Vicky(-HoI2) game, then consider it, we are restarting our Grand Game, check us out here which will be played in the said timeslot.
Again making some advertisment ;) I hope it is okey with you FAL...

Click to expand...
Whoa, finally :). Im more than willing to join. Dont care that much for which scenario or map is used.
 
I would say we should put the most reliable players in major positions.

Id love a big game on the new map if we could handle it though.
 
I should be able to host 14 players, but indeed would like to have a core group of only 10 countries, with other countries immediately being dropped if players fail to show up or have other troubles.

This would mean that only an effort to get subs for those 10 countries would be really made, but there's still room for relative new players like RappaR :)
 
I´m in of course! :)

And I also volunteer to help you out GMwise, FAL. (Getting subs, hollering at people and just generaly misbehaving :D )

My prefered countries are :

1. Brandenburg
2. Russia
3. Austria

Ah....and I second Daniel´s proposition about the game time & the evening meal - problematic. 17.00 - 22.00 CET would be just über-swell. And not having to postpone wars just because some **** is slobbering mush into himself would be so cool it would induce me to dance naked infront of the Reichstag, making Whale-Noises. :D

As for the map I would suggest R.yoken´s AOD 1.4, 1492

I'm in. I prefer long campaigns. That means starting in 1419.

I strongly believe you should only get reliable players and one or at most two newbies who have not yet shown whether they are reliable or not. Attendence percentage (which includes the abiliy to get their own subs) is the most important qualification there is and at maximum half of the community matches my demands in that regard. Next comes being a nice and funny guy to play with and last the skill which really is not that important - there will always be a blend of skilled and less skilled.

I like to play these long Sunday sessions starting at 17 locally (CEST) which means 16.00 CET and 15.00 GMT. And then play until 22 locally, just like DU. I vote for not accepting players who cannot eat at the computer. Can we get a full crew without them we should go for that. Only if we are in desperate need should we move the starting time to accomodate them.

As for nations I would like to play one I never played from start but with at least reasonable colonising possibilities. That would mean
- SWE
- Venice
- England
I guess.

(The only ones I have played from start to finish are OE, RUS and POR).

Not SPA with your bankruptcy rule. :D

I suggest all should be able to get conqs/explorers as random leaders at some point. To get more nations into the colonial race.
 
Eu2 might be fun, but hardly something you want to waste half a day doing.

Daniel, you must accept the fact that some others got a life outside this community ;) So i certainly hope that FAL wont listen to your anti-social rubbish of words :D
 
Yep I do. My own Sunday activities normally ends not later than 16.00 local time so a 17 start is perfect for me and I gather many are similar to me. But not all of course. But it is impossible to accomodate all wishes. It will eventually boil down to FAL prioritising and I believe he should have the game time high up on that priority list.

Do you think he made e.g. any "compromise" or adjustment for me when he decided that DU would be nation-switching which I dislike and thus had me decline to join it?

No he did not and he had the full right not to do it. It is his game. If he as well likes to start at 17.00 CEST (I really think we should stop using the term CET, most of us - all? - living in Central Europe have summer time now) and can get a full good full crew I see no reason for him to select another starting hour.

That 17-22 playing time was something I really appreciated about the DU game. If we get a reliable crew we will probably be able to play 35 years per session in average.

Go for it FAL :D
 
My sunday activities are praying to our lord (4 minutes) and calling my mom (10 minutes). So if this game can start at....14:14 (woke up and did my duties) Im all good
