How to Join up
Plus do's and dont's
Find a game to join up. Games are shown on the Signup form page. The Status can be one of the following:
- Not Started. The date from when you can sign up will be shown.
- Starting. You can sign up* to play when the game actually begins.
- Running- Can Join. You can join a running game if there are at least 10% of player positions free.
- Running- Locked. No further players can join. This continues until the game finishes.
* You can only sign up/join a running game if you aren't playing in any other games or you have paid the multi-game fee.
Signing Up
For this we just need your email address. As soon as a game starts, we'll send you an email with account and game login details and a password. We'll also send you an emergency code that can be used to reset your password, if for instance you lose access to your email address and have to get a new one.
Game Play
We provide you with a unique URL to login. You'll have to enter a password with it but after that you can make yuour moves. Once you have done your orders (mostly clicking on city blocks then using the pop-up menu), you can submit your orders to us. Just click the big shiny Submit button.
Every 90 minutes we process your game, running all submitted orders, rolling lots of dice and determing the results of your orders. Next time you login (or if you leave the browser Window open), the game will update and you'll see a Results button. Click that to get a popup window telling you what happened.
