GIGA map dipo game

[C0ckney]

For all those who have the new GIGA map of earth (if you haven't theres a link to it on the civ 2 creation forum), I think this map would make for a great multiplayer game (it would last bloody ages mind).
I was thinking about 7 civs:

French- Europe
Zulus- Africa
Americans- North America
Aztecs (moved to brazil)- South America
Indians - India
Japanise - Japan, China
Russians (moved to western siberia) -Russia, central asia

I think that this would be good fun, so if you are interested then please reply here with your choice of civ the times you can play and anything else you feel is relavent

i'd like to join. I can play on saturday nights and i would like to be the americans, if it hasn't been chosen.

[C0ckney]

I'm thinking about games on Sunday at about 1800 - 2200 GMT (thats about 1300 - 1700 EST), what do you guys think?

[ColdWizard]

[C0ckney]

[ColdWizard]

this shaping up nicely, only 1 space left now

so far we have

Cockney - French, all weekend (if my life doesn't intervine)
Monker guy - Japanise, sat + sun
Easthaven - Americans, sat
Coldwizard - Zulus, sun
Zylka - Aztecs (unless anyone else really wants them), sat
Posty-KTC - ?, ? (please reply with this info!)

I am also thinking of moving the Zulus to central Africa (Congo or Tanzania) any thoughts on that?

[ColdWizard]

fine with me

[Potsy-KTC]

Prefer Indians, Sunday. Anytime is cool. How long of sessions are we talking? Am I the only one with Ypager? Does everyone else have icq?

[ColdWizard]

i don't know about zylka, but everybody else has icq

[C0ckney]

yes Icq would be very usful, my icq is 72567261, if all those playing could add me that would make things easier

[Zylka]

82578048, oooooh boy. Aztecs are perfect as well

[Zylka]

Post a time and lets start tommorrow

[ColdWizard]

tomorrow? i cant (and won't) play on saturdays... at least not on a consistent basis...

if this games ends up being a saturday game you'll have to find somebody to replace me, though i'd be able to sub occassionally if needed

[C0ckney]

I doubt we can kick it off this weekend, we still need one more player and time could be a problem.

I can play any time execpt sunday night (after 22.30 GMT),

does anyone have an objection to Sunday afternoon (about 4-5Pm EST)?

Also we need one more person to play as the Russians

I can't play Sunday 4-5pm EST. That would run into my other diplo game. I can only make on nights on Sunday and anytime Saturday.

[Potsy-KTC]

Okay, just got icq reinstalled#83944397.
I'm willing to commit to sundays. If the original time is too early, then later is okay with me. Is anyone else available weeknights, maybe 1 per week?

[C0ckney]

I can only play until (at the latest) midnight GMT on sundays, so denpending on how long the sessions are going to be (I was thinking about 2 hours), will have to start no later than 5-6 PM EST (if at six then its a one hour session).

In other news we have our seventh player, Frank from Dipogame V has volenteered to be the Russians, I said this was fine with me, but if you have any objections then please icq me or post here (anything icqed will be treated in the strictest confidence), hope this is ok with everybody, becasue then we just need to work out times and any special rules

[C0ckney]

Well owing to the overwhelling amount of commet on Frank Johnson joining the game I take it thats ok?

I would like to ask everyone who wishes to play to answer two question

1) Can you play on saturday? (if yes then what time(s))
2) Can you play on sunday? (if yes then what time(s))

Edit: Please put all times in EST for ease of understanding.

thanks
