Setting up IP game XXIII

rah · August 11, 2000, 08:31

Well XXII got past 50 posts, so Here's the new one.

It's Friday, I'll be at Ming's around 7 central time. Looking for a 2x1x game, but I will play 1x1x game if I have to. Post here or icq Ming if interested.

I'd like to play, but not 'til 6 Pacific...two hours behind? I'll ICQ and see if you are still open...

That would be...... 8 central, (getting old sucks)

It usually takes me that long to get a game going so your timing might be real good. Check for me at Ming's.

Anybody else?

I had some fun in the a AD challenge, but it might also be fun to play against other players instead of with them, so if you still need a player I would like to join.

Tom DeMille · August 11, 2000, 15:43

You might want to consider a 1X1X1X setting. The extra 1X stands for only 1 city allowed

We would love to have you Paul. It's about time you played with other people that are all out to get you.

A buddy of mine that is new to it also may be available. We like to play with 4 or 5. If Supersneak plays we should have 4. I'll ICQ you when I get to ming's. 2x1x is a whole new game.

(1 city apiece kinda makes it hard to field attack forces.

matt, ming, bird may be interested a little later, what's your window of opportunity.

rah · August 19, 2000, 19:22

Paul and I are looking for a game now, anybody out there.

RAH

Spider · August 19, 2000, 19:59

I'm here, if you're still looking for new players.

rah · August 20, 2000, 01:35

sorry spider, we started before i saw your post, but keep trying, we'd be happy to play with you.

RAH

Spider · August 20, 2000, 20:21

Thanks, Rah, one of these times I'll catch you when you're starting one.

rah · August 21, 2000, 08:21

The best time is Friday or Saturday night around 7:00 pm central time.

Ming · August 23, 2000, 11:37

Well it's Wednesday again. I'll be looking to do something tonight at the normal time.
Whether we continue a game, or start a new one, I don't care!

Are any of the normal bunch going to be around? If so... when?

Xin Yu · August 23, 2000, 16:39

My wife just got a small 'surgery' so I feel that I should not play games while she's in such a condition. I'll skip this time. Hopefully I can 'negotiate' another day with her, since there's not many people around on Wednesdays

Bird · August 24, 2000, 00:01

I'm available. Figure around 8:00 eastern, 7:00 central? I can probably start a half hour earlier than that tonight if others can also.

HouseCleaner · August 24, 2000, 09:26

OK i am back and in Toronto but to all you civers out there, Good old War4ever is back and ready for action. I will be internet connected on Sept 2 which is a saturday....

ps Ming i created this account because i couldn't remember my War4 password, however i should have it stored in MY computer so i will use that login in about 10 days time. Thanks again and i can't wait to get back in the thick of things

Ming · August 24, 2000, 09:39

Gee HouseCleaner... you could have just hit the "forgot password" feature when trying to post, and the password would have been sent to the email address in your profile.

Now, if you no longer have access to that account, that is a problem. If that is the case, just email MarkG, and he will be able to help you out.

Once you are set, we can delete this log on.

WELCOME BACK!

Well, It's friday and I'll be looking for a game tonight from ming's. (around 7 central time)

Anybody interested?

rah · August 30, 2000, 09:48

Well for those in the US it's a three day weekend.
So I should be avail to play fri sat and sun evening.
It might be a good opportunity to actually continue a game.

Anyone interested, please post here.
I will not be at Ming's on Friday since he won't be around.

Is it possible to do multi-player without ICQ? I've tried four or five times now, and I can't get this thing to work on anything resembling a consistant basis. I keep getting an invalid page fault, and when I requested help from their tech people, they just keep telling me to download it again and reinstall it.

rah · August 30, 2000, 16:50

It's real tough because the ip # is passed and then you let people know when the game is hot, and if you have to restart due to techs, you have to let them know when it's hot again. Posting here isn't real time enough, especially if you have to restart multiple times. And if you get booted from a game, icq is real handy to let people know you still exist and that you got booted.
It has been done, but it's a real pain in the AS*

Do you have any other instant messagers like aol?

rah · August 31, 2000, 09:41

Lucky break to start a game last night. I look forward to continuing it on Friday.
Thanks to Barono, Epik and Berzerker.

Not a great start for terrain, but I started in the middle of a 4 hut pattern that delivered..
1. non-horse
2. a city, uncovered by my second settler, (risky but it paid off)
3. 100 bucks
4. attached horse.
All in all a very fortunate set of huts.

I settled for a non-optimum capital, but after searching around, I'm glad I strarted it early where I did since their wasn't much else around close.

See you all Friday night around 6:30 central.

Novi Nomad · August 31, 2000, 10:41

Nope, dont' have any other instant messenger. I'll have to see if I can get one of my computer literate friends take a look at it. It's really annoying me that I can't get the thing to work. It's probably something simple, but I just am not seeing it...

SmartFart · September 1, 2000, 19:28

I have about 7 hours of free time and i would like to spend it on a game of Civ2.
Any takers?

Jedi518 · September 1, 2000, 21:09

hey ill play smart fart

rah · September 2, 2000, 01:29

Sorry SF, didn't see your message till later, we had continued a game from before, (nice to continue) and we're actually scheduled to play it again. (nirvana), otherwise I'm always happy to cross swords with you.
