Eurodip 2004 - Classical; and through the ages!

Zylka · March 5, 2004, 22:56

Tonight puts us just ahead of a 50% success level. Shame how a few outs (myself included) level this upon many.

I at least know from conversation that 4 of us are eager to play (5 - in imagining that Ljube would love to continue if he’s treated fairly over mending of a recent sub based conflict). For now, a simple pause for the game will be called; pretty much a 2 week break starting today in which the group is expected to get its collective sh* together. This includes advertising & arranging for any needed players on a committed basis, or even agreements over partitioning to a 6 civ level. The next session will commence Friday, March the 19th – I will as usual be hosting; and IP join will be at 9:00pm PST

Roster for the next session (after our much needed douching break) – is somewhat as follows:

Romans – Ljube
Spanish – Zylka
Babylonians – Dbaker
Carthaginians - Deity
Egyptians - Makeo
Gauls – Frank Johnson, Dreamer, or Warlon
Greeks – Markus, Warlon, ???

The solid we can count on have been bolded; although I’m quite sure in expectation of an eventually returning Frank. If the above roster has been outlined correctly – post your support below. If otherwise – just a fair mention to the rest of us. Thanks, and see you all in two weeks time.

Ssshhh. Zylky get confused with numbers easily

and yes.. in this instance we need a two week break. I know you'll be taking time off from f*ing your skis to help me arrange a successful second half, during which

deity · March 6, 2004, 00:58

I'm there Z.

Frank must have some problem.

ozzy is definitely out and Markus can't sub anymore for him.

We need a player to take over Greeks. A great chance for someone! Step up now.

We may also need someone to take over the Gauls.

OzzyKP · March 7, 2004, 16:51

I posted a news item to our new civ group about the vacancy.

markusf · March 8, 2004, 03:26

I can sub, but my friday nights are iffy.

deity · March 12, 2004, 00:54

I still haven't seen any sign of Frank. We must play with who we have. Dreamer might do Gauls and hoipefully Markus can do Greeks. I'm in even if AI have to take over 1 or 2 civs. OK?

deity · March 12, 2004, 00:59

Dreamer says he MIGHT be here and Raz says the same! Cool we should be OK.

Rasputin · March 12, 2004, 12:50

will do my best,,, will set alwarm so i up by 12... give me a few minutes after that to log on and stuff...

any downlaods needed for a scenario ETC ????

markusf · March 12, 2004, 18:41

I can probably play tonight.

deity · March 12, 2004, 21:33

Cool, we should be OK. I'll be SLIGHTLY late, please wait for me... normal start is in 30 mins...

Makeo · March 12, 2004, 22:05

didn't zylka say we were having a break this week?

deity · March 12, 2004, 22:16

yah, I just re-read his post. no game this week

Zylka · March 12, 2004, 22:37

Sorry I wasn't more clear, but yeah - we're actually scheduled for NEXT week. That would be just perfect if Dreamer could take Gauls from now on. Markus, any time you can sub is appreciated

Has Warlon been contacted for a possible Greek take over, otherwise?

Zylka · March 16, 2004, 19:39

ROLE CALL for this Friday. Looks like we're fine to fill out for the basic game. A sub for Gauls is near definitely needed, so how are we in that search?

We can go on for a session with Greece as the AI.. yet I personally suggest that we partition the civ up between a big 6 if a sub is not found by the following session

Otherwise - Post below if you're ready to go

Spain is ready.

Dylan Baker · March 17, 2004, 06:38

Babylon is rigid with eager anticipation.

Makeo · March 18, 2004, 20:28

i'll be here

deity · March 18, 2004, 21:48

same...

Dreamer is taking over Gauls! Thanks Dreamer/Cyber

Cyber-Spyder · March 18, 2004, 21:57

Yeah, I'm taking Gauls again. Deity sending me scenario

deity · March 18, 2004, 22:00

And Markus will be OK to play Greeks, so that's a full house

Cyber-Spyder · March 20, 2004, 09:43

I must sincerely apologise to all of you for not making the game. For the benefit of those I didn't chat to, I had my partner dump a major job in my lap - hours AFTER it had to be done. So I spent my day doing his weeks worth of work. I was very dissapointed not to be able to play, and once again I am very sorry for standing you guys up.

Zylka · March 22, 2004, 05:06

not a problem cyber..

Dylan Baker · March 22, 2004, 20:23

Interesting session last week. Several civs seemed to clearly define their roles in the world, and a new leader emerged.... Markus did a very good impression of Rommel stampeding across North Africa...

Makeo · March 22, 2004, 20:38

should be good to see what happens next.

Rasputin · March 22, 2004, 22:26

There was a major uproar in Gaulish parliament as the leaders of the governing political party were all implicated in a sex scandal involving Sexy Sue the Senates Stenographer. The leaders all left to live in exile leaving only Sexy Sue with any idea of what was happening. So Sexy Sue was named the new Premier.

Her imediate first actions were to get the "official" war with Greece ended and the gracious Greek leaders agreed to a peace treaty.

Finding most citys in uproar she set about building new brothels in each city and this soon appeased the nation and happiness soared with nearly all citys declaring a "We Love Sexy Sue" Day

Our friendly allies the spanish continued our open and free trade and both countrys flourished in gold and technology.

With war in Africa Sexy Sue stated that Gaull position was for the full withdrawal of all Greek units and return of all citys.

Gaul called on all Greeks allys to apply pressure on Greece.

After many senate meetings the follwoing was deceed.

Gaulish Parliamentry Decree 104A-RT56

Gauls believes the capture of African citys by Greece is not in the best interests of the world and hereby condemns al lsuch activity. We hereby call upon greece to withdraw from africa. If Africa is not relinquished within 20years, Gaul will do all it can to aid the struggling Africans in their endevours. Any Ally of Greece who fails to break allegiance to this warring nation will be deemed to be aiding and abetting greece and will be held just as liable for the actions and will be treated accordingly."

All military units in Gaul put on full mobilization and returned to their barracks to await further orders.

OzzyKP · March 23, 2004, 13:00

Greece invaded someone? Cool. Post a save!

Zylka · March 23, 2004, 16:38

Cool? I thought "[that's] not diplo"

Anyway - Markus is doing exceedingly well in dealing with the mess you left off. Am REALLY looking forward to this week's session, guys

Dylan - do you need a sub for Friday afterall?

Zylka · March 23, 2004, 16:55

Raz, good to have you with us. Paste your above and future in game responses to this thread:

My Friday status is still up in the air. If Wake Forest beats St. Joes on Thursday, then I will swimming in the cesspool that is East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday. So it depends not only on whether Wake wins, but on my travel plans. I wont know until after midnight on Thursday....
