PBEM = marriage?

[Treznor]

Looking at the scope of the game and the number of AAR threads it appears to me that a good PBEM game has to be conducted by persons that like their partners style of play, be it easy or challenging. After all if you average 1 turn a day you play this game for YEARS [X(]

Its almost as if you need to find Mr. Right to have a good pbem experience, I mean after all you will be committed to that person for a number of years. So it basically like your married [:D]

If you take a full game length from Dec 41 to 46 and have every year of play equal 10 years of marriage, how does your past 'game marriage' equal up?

Good post, and a big reason I have not taken the plunge and bought the game yet. My resistance is weakening though. Once AE is released and there is good feedback from that, I may collect my spare change for a month and try this. By then WiF may be out and I will have a real problem!

I would buy it now while the sale is on going. Your learning curve will not be as big. You will at least be familiar with the interface (mainly), have some idea of how big this game really is, plus be having fun while you learn.
 
This can easily be the game that ends your game buying. LOL
 
I used to spend 50-100 per month on games. Been playing this since release.......have bought maybe 4 games since release and only 1 still resides on my hard drive. WITP has never left.
 
Think of it as a money saving project.

[8|] Just because I use the term Mr. Right does not reflect on my sex. You have to find a player, who in all probability is a male, so I just used the correct terminology.

I would like to know how many partners and their experiences people have had.

When I firsted started getting into this game, I thought I'dd died and gone to heaven, and every time I play now I think the same.

Don't be silly. A full PBEM game of WITP would last much longer than the average marriage! [:D]

So to break it down...1942,1943,1944,1945...1,2,3,4,5...5*10=50 ....50 'theoretical' years is long but would reflect credibility on two players who can finish a complete game.

Has anyone had any luck in this?

[CarnageINC]

Treznor you read it wrong...LOL [:D]

[Treznor]

OMFG! [:@][X(]
Sorry dpstafford I'll go hide under a rock now....[:(]

I have. My longest game the allied player surrendered to me in March 44. Thats 28 months x 10 = 280 = 23 1/3 years. I have been married 33 1/2 years.

My longest ended 3rd December 1945.
 
The game im now involved with i assume will go on to at least that date ...

Hehehehe, while I still played, I used to tell my wife I was going to attend to my mistress before playing a turn.
Raver was caught a bit off guard for being referred to as "the mistress". That's psychological warfare for you, everything is allowed in WitP. Besides, I had to counter the allied sigint advantage somehow...[:D]

[khyberbill]

Honda, are you now retired? If so, a loss to the community.

More like finding and getting to know a new "best friend". One of the reasons you need to take a bit of time and discover if a prospective opponant is compatable. Doesn't mean you have to be in love, just that you both have to have a similar outlook on how the game will be played. If you are an "historian", you won't be happy playing a "loophole lawyer", you need to find someone else who feels more the way you do.

But when you find the "special someone", you will soon find yourself getting not only a game opponant, but someone you will probably come to know and like and share other things with. You may never meet in person.., but that's not all bad. Means you can complain about people and things that bother you, and never worry it will "come back on you".

I have made it to 5/44 with my excellent opponent.

It started off with her on top most of the time. You know what I mean. She was really in control at first. She liked to do it her way and just spent the first decade pushing me around. I gave her what she wanted and did all the dishes to boot. She just dealt out the whupass. Then for a sweet while things balanced and we shared the duties. You know what I mean. One night I got to get on top and she dressed up like a brownie scout and then the next night I was tied to the bedposts while she walked over me in high heels. I have to admit, those were the best years. Now the old witch is fighting off every one of my advances and "guards her flanks like a virgin". As we round into the last decade of our marriage I am beating her like she "owes me money" three times a day and she just sits there and takes it.

Sigh.........Good times, good times.[;)]

I don't think PBEM marriage is legal in my state..
