Call for new european evening game

kengel · November 12, 2003, 18:09

Yes-
I am back to the fun

Anyone availible for a game on a weekly regular base?

Prefered time: monday, 19.00 GMT - 0.00 GMT
(tuesday to thursday also possible)

Settings: 1x1x

Any other suggestions I leave to you, please post!

VetLegion · November 12, 2003, 20:16

We used to play a diplogame 19:00 GMT - 23:00 GMT Tuesdays.

I'm still not sure how our current game will work out. If it doesn't, we may start a new game on that time. Are you interested?

deity · November 14, 2003, 04:14

If it's Weds or Thurs night Euro time count me in.

laurentius · November 14, 2003, 07:03

Ecco, Ditto , Sacco, Roddo

atawa · November 14, 2003, 07:16

The tuesday game is screwed so I'd be interested in a new game. Tuesday or wednesday have my preference.

kengel · November 16, 2003, 09:08

Thanks, guys, for posting!
Presently, it seems there is some majority for a game on tuesday or wednesday?
Another guy will join the game (CmdrCD), but I have to ask him first if he is availible on that dates.

Please have an eye on this thread for following infos.

Deity: what time is it exactly on which you are availible? I am sorry to say, that I am restricted to the time window I gave above to only one day per week...

CmdrCD · November 17, 2003, 15:10

Hello !
I am CmdrCD and I was asking kengel to find us some players for a larger game who can play on a weekly bases. Your posts sound good and it seems we can start on tuesday. My ICQ# is 4603104

kengel · November 17, 2003, 15:42

I suggest to start the game on tuesday, 19.00 GMT, with whomever is online.

If I remember right, there was some post of Ming or Rah regarding "standard" rules? Does anybody have the link?
My suggestion for settings, open for discussion:

1x1x,
normal world size (50x80)
emperor
human civs only
all other settings random

winzity · November 17, 2003, 16:45

Players that supports or take part of it will be called quitters by me.

Please respect that we are playing a game on tuesdays, and to all in the game you have to continue!

But a new game is welcome of course on another day!
And I will take part of it in such case!

I suggest we start on thursday, it will allow both me and deity to be in the game.

Suggested start time 7 PM GMT.

laurentius · November 17, 2003, 16:51

I just got your message kengel

Yes I'm in, the roolz seem ok and all. 19 GMT is 21 in here so I will be able to play for 3-4 hours max.

I dont have an icq...

atawa · November 17, 2003, 18:07

I would want to start a new game

But as I enjoy playing with Deity a lot I would suggest a game on wednesday.

A comment from my side:
Unlucky indeed, I am sorry. Of course I am not intending to destroy some ongoing game. If someone participates in a new game, I expect him to have ended other games (by a obvious surrender, by transfering to a new player or by common agreement), otherwise I have to assume that this game will be unfinished the same way. I appreciate if the involved player make clear things in the old group before joining this game in parallel.
Since I hate to reschedule games, this game will start on tuesday, except that the remaining players all agree to a new weekly date (maybe wednesday or thursday).

Of course, if rescheduling is ok, more players are welcome.

Laurentius, it is very difficult to setup a game, if you not directly accessible online; how do you usually communicate instead? Is it possible somehow that you can use ICQ?

laurentius · November 18, 2003, 12:00

I usually communicate via msn or irc/chat
I had icq but didnt use/need it
Also I have no problem with postponing this game until wednsday or thursday

kengel · November 18, 2003, 15:28

Laurentius, I have some problem to contact you; I have deinstalled MSM (and are not willing to install it again

).
On what IRC channel are you availible?
ICQ would be much better of course

laurentius · November 18, 2003, 16:22

apolyton.net

for example

VetLegion · November 18, 2003, 16:41

To clarify this:

I chatted with kengel and he explained. This is not a diplogame. It is a regular wargame with permanent players and only in-game diplomacy.

If there are players interested in playing a new diplogame in the History of Mankind timeslot (Tuesdays 19:00 GMT - 23:00 GMT), or a similar one, please state it explicitly.

Just use the setting ( in the first section that you'd prefer), and use the rest as a base for discussion.. It should save you some time argueing.

kengel · November 18, 2003, 21:33

Thanks, RAH, for your posting!

The new regular european game (VetLegion calls it "Wargame" with in-game diplomacy) will start now on wednesday, Nov 19th, 19.00 GMT.
Hopefully, Deity and/or Laurentius will join, so preliminary we will have following player configuration:

Attawa
CmdrCD
Deity
Kengel
Laurentius
Winzity

(one slot still free if someone is interested).

Today (tuesday) we started a game in a much smaller player configuration, see
http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...hreadid=101997
Latter game is thought to be played instead if above player configuration is not availible.

kengel · November 18, 2003, 21:55

To handle the large amount of players, let's meet in the chat tomorrow on 19.00 GMT
http://www.civ2.org/chat/chat.pl

atawa · November 19, 2003, 09:52

Lets play emp, there seems to be a majority for this

laurentius · November 20, 2003, 09:54

EMP?

Anyways, I would like to join you next week if possible

atawa · November 20, 2003, 12:30

What rules do we use for this game btw?

deity · November 21, 2003, 01:21

I've had IT gurus at home setting up my new VPN to my work.. it's briliant - so I've been out of the loop this week.

I should be good for next week though... depends how early we start. 9pm GMT is 6am Aussie Eastern the next morning; so 9pm GMT Weds or Thurs might work but earlier may be a struggle! Now I know how Winzity, atawa and ljube feel in our games

atawa · November 21, 2003, 11:39

8PM GMT+1 sounds allright

deity · November 21, 2003, 22:53

atawa's way of saying I got it wrong

Aussie is 11 hours ahead with you guys on normal time and us on Daylight time... so around 8 pm GMT is OK.

Nah, I misread your post, thought you ment 8PM GMT+1

Carolus Rex · November 22, 2003, 10:58

Grrrr!

I would love to join this game

, but I'm abroad until next summer and I have no Internet connection at "home"...

Hoping you all will keep the MP interest alive until I get back home! Please?

Carolus

kengel · November 24, 2003, 17:41

Carolus: Good to C you are still at Apolyton...
Surely I am looking forward to our next online game (next summer?)
Good luck, our PBEM's are running well

deity · November 27, 2003, 01:31

Once again, sorry about my absence.
I'm having serious home networking isues since the Cisco VPN to work was put in. My whole ICS went down

Ljube · November 27, 2003, 11:44

Have you started your game already?
If not I can join next week.
I am going to have much more free time on weekdays starting next week till mid / late January.
