Organizing and hosting PBEM game

Post by ShadowEmpireHost »

I thought I'd try to organize a game here on the forum. Any interest? I am very open to playing Oceania but almost any starting conditions are fine.
Or should we sit and wait for Republica?

I am, always, interested in a Shadow Empire 'PBEM' game.
I have been playing this, great, game via 'PBEM' since 2020; made the pandemic, somewhat, tolerable.
I am with a great group, atm, in our 17th contest!
Anyways, keep me posted; my email is eddieballgame@yahoo.com.

I did not receive any email, sorry. Sometimes I get carried away with deleting them & may have missed it, again sorry.
Per highlights...some good, & many bad. :) The current game I am in is, really, getting interesting due to the diplomatic aspects/gymnastics of what the game offers.
Mostly, I am constantly learning (I think) new things with each contest. The game is so complex, yet so interesting & engaging; & truly enhances that 'one more turn' itch.

It was stuck in my drafts, I just resent it. Sorry, I've been waiting for your reply too lol. Do you and the other players tend to play or open with the same regime profiles?

Sent you an email after getting yours. Per my regime profiles, I tend to lean a certain way, but do experiment on occasion. :)

Send me an email and I can try to find you players. I am in three games right now and probably wouldn't take on another one, but I have a bunch of other players who may feel differently.
