Its 12:15 edt, hopefully someone will check this out and tell me what happened, or whatever.

I guess that does it for tonight.

We should start planning next play time tommorow on this thread okay? Post on the other one.

Don't worry everyone, I got it saved so when can everyone resume play, I was thinking maybe Tues, but I dunno. Talk to me.

Sorry about that, I had a little hiccup with my ISP, and my network settings chose that moment to go haywire, so it took about five minutes to fix everything. (Rebooting does wonders.

) I've got it saved too, we can pick it up whenever The Capo decides.

i got disconnected and had to go soon so i went sooner. If u all stopped then horray! Tuesday is not too good for me i goota to go out at 10:30 pm est early evening is ok tho. Wenesday night is good 2. I m Engalnd.

The Capo · June 13, 2000, 07:47

What we are probably going to do is see who is on and what the status is today (Tues) and if it doesn't look good. Wednesday is a go, if anyone seriously has issues with Wednesday being the next session, then relate it on this thread. Other than that I thought the session went well. So Tues-Wednesday is our next day, that is unless anyone has a problem with any of those days. Either of them I could make.

I can make today as Zulus, but only after 6:30 EST.

Running Water · June 13, 2000, 16:45

I could play anytime today. Have Ithil or someone contact me via ICQ, if we start today, since that's easiest.

I can't play Wednesday until about 8:15 CDT. I have to work. If you all want, you could be ready to go at about 8 (9 Eastern) and I'll get here as soon as I can???

Anyway, let me know.

Cya,

Looks like we are going to try and get started today at 6:30 edt. Everyone try and be on, its six now so I dunno how many of you will actually read this or whatever. But that's the deal so far.

are we playing today or what?

Ithil · June 13, 2000, 21:45

I just noticed something about the diplomacy map, Antartica isn't on it. Aww, I was planning on colonizing it... do you have any idea how much trade I would have gotten from the sea?

Monday works for me, but I won't know how early I can play for several days...

The Capo · June 13, 2000, 22:05

I would have put Antarctica on it, but there were a few problems, it would have totally been ice, not hospitable at all, and also Antarctica is actually very small, its smaller than Australia and it would be weird to make it wrap the map, so I just didn't put it.

i vote for monday at 7pm edt.
i cud start as early as 6.

Running Water · June 14, 2000, 15:44

Yeah I like doing that on the poles too. Also add an Offshore Platform later on and you've really got something. Science, production, and not really that hard to defend (at least after the Platform). Plus not too many people will be expecting a city there.

On your post in the Tales thread:

Pretty good (not that I have much to judge it by). And on your comment about B.C... My historian is in the future (compared to where we are in the game), and is finding books (or whatever) and/or writing about the past right now. At some time in the future (compared to where we are in the game), you might find out what B.C. actually stands for.

P.S. Monday at 7 EDT is fine by me.

Running Water

June 14, 2000, 22:17

monday 7edt is i guess good for me but i might be a little late but 8 edt would be better for me.

Grr, double post.

Ithil · June 15, 2000, 00:02

I was planning on ice - I'd get one production off of it (from the city square), and once I got harbors and libraries(rush-buying), my cities would produce quite a bit of science from supposedly inhospitable land. Unit defense and settlers would have been a pain though...

By the way, what does everyone think of my post in the Tales thread? I finally finished it!

The Capo · June 16, 2000, 00:06

Okay, Monday June 19th will be the next session of Diplogame IX. We will start at 8:00e, 7:00c, 6:00m, and 5:00p. Those are the starting times. The session will last three hours.

So far the posts are good, but let's try to keep all non-post comments on this thread and leave the other one for strictly posting.

I was able to download the 5.4.0f internal patch MP. So I will be able to sub if needed.

The Capo · June 17, 2000, 10:44

Okay, the official time and date of play is June 19th, which is a monday, at 8:00e, 7:00c, 6:00m, and 5:00p.

I hope that clears everything up, I hope everyone is there, if you know you are not going to show, you must supply a sub or we will provide one for you. Official players are:

Common- English
Easthaven- French
JDI Falcon- Zulus
Capo- Romans
Casimir- Polish
Ithil- Lunians
Running Water- Sioux

If there is any confusion as to who you are or how to get subs or anything like that then just contact me at nkreefer@aol.com. I may not be able to handle all of your questions in time, but I will try my best.

Good hunting.

Right now the next time we play is this comming Monday at eight eastern, however we can play Thursday now, so if any one that is in the game can play Thursday contact me ASAP.

Ithil · June 23, 2000, 14:05

I need the save file, Capo. Send it to sstebb@xmission.com .

The Capo · June 25, 2000, 17:13

I know we agreed to play each monday, but I really can't make it this Monday the 26th. Is there any chance at all that we could resume the next day (Tuesday) or perhaps on Wednesday?

Sorry.

If we don't play Mon., Wednesday would be best for. I will be taking Thursday off, so I should be able to play longer.

1929EST- I can still play tonight though, and will be online at 8.

Tuesday is fine with me (antime after 3:30 EDT). BUT, I can't play on Wednesday until 9:15 EDT at the earliest. Actually I could be as late as 9:25 or 9:30, but should make it by 9:15. So if you all want to play Wednesday, then have everyone here ready to go at 9:15 but be willing to wait a few for me, please?

Anyway, I'll check back tomorrow to see what's happening. I'll post too in the other thread. Sorry, been a little busy...

I can play tonight or wednesday but I need the save file!!!

If you already sent it to sstebb@xmission.com , it didn't work; send it to ithil@athlonoc.com . If you haven't send it, send it to the xmission address. Send it!

Ithil · June 28, 2000, 14:32

If the save file was called DiploIXs2.net, I've got it. Some mofo deleted it, grr...

p.s. Does anyone know how to fill your name and password in automatically? I deleted the cookie and I couldn't figure out how to set it back up.

Ithil · June 28, 2000, 14:34

What the HELL??? Triple post!!!
