Arii/CapTVK/SF tournament game

SmartFart · September 13, 2000, 18:50

Are we going to launch this one? If so,when exactly?
Since CapTVK is limited to weekends,i suggest we start on this saturday or sunday.
I have no problems with any proposed time.

arii · September 13, 2000, 23:34

I have tried to schedule this game 2-3 times and capTV does not show up or does not responds to messages.
He hasn't suggested anything and it looks like he is too busy.
Should we just play a duel smart?

SmartFart · September 14, 2000, 00:00

Duel is fine. If he doesn't respond until saturday i would like to play a duel against you.
Are we going to play on CB's map or random one?

Sorry about that not responding guys, I don't check in as often as I used too. Note on ICQ messages, my PC is also used by other family members on occasions throughout the week so ICQ messages might not be replied to. So although I appear online, it's not really me!

Ari hit the naul right on the head, I am indeed really busy during all of the week and even hard pressed during the weekends. I can make some time during the weekend but only saturday morning/afternoon but I'm a bit more flexible on sunday.

Is saturday morning a possibility perhaps? Otherwise sunday, just name your time and I'll try to fit it in.

CapTVK, thanks for hanging in here for the end of the Tourney. I hope that your schedule allows for an MP game for this last round.

In any case, whether it works out or not, I'm glad you were able to participate!

SmartFart · September 17, 2000, 00:47

Sunday then.....i don't do mornings

CapTVK · September 17, 2000, 06:07

Sunday it is then, in the afternoon (European times)?

I rather like mornings, a good and hearty breakfast with some coffee or tea will get you far into the game.

That's too little lead time for me to make time available outside my regular playing time (less than 24 h). Maybe next week end if we can come up with a time.

CapTVK · September 17, 2000, 14:27

I got a msg from SF that he can't make it until midnight.

I'll be around at 23-24:00 CET and I would really like to get this game going. If SF can't make it at that time we should decide on a time for next weekend.

arii · September 17, 2000, 19:59

Go ahead and suggest a starting time for next week end and we can go from there.

SmartFart · September 17, 2000, 20:17

Dammit

Real life really took its toll here. I am available virtually any day next week afternoon local time (nites,evenings,whatever).
Week after,i have little surgeon to accomplish and i'll be away one week,10 days max.
I do hope we will start this one soon.

SmartFart · September 18, 2000, 00:58

Sunday it is...i'll check if you guys are available every full and bottom hour from now on.

CapTVK · September 20, 2000, 08:24

Is anyone available on saturday morning from 9:00-12:00 CET, 15:00-18:00 CET, 21:00-24:00 CET?

Note these times are final once chosen. If we pick a particular time I'll be there but I won't be available on another time that day as I'll be occupied with other important stuff (well some of it is, anyway ).

Well?

arii · September 21, 2000, 00:35

What is the difference between CET and american central time, Is it -8 h?
9:00-12:00 CET would be 1-4am for me. 11pm-2am would work better for me (that would be 7-10am CET)
15:00-18:00 CET would be 7-10am for me, works great, I don't mind getting up and can play until 11:00 am
21:00-24:00 CET would be 13-16 not convenient for me (would be ok on sundays)
What works for you smart?

SmartFart · September 21, 2000, 04:12

15.00-18.00 CET works definitelly for me.

CapTVK · September 21, 2000, 04:45

Great, saturday afternoon 15-18:00 it is!

arii · September 22, 2000, 13:12

Just want to make sure that the time is correct so that I show up on time:
I am -1 vs apolython.
Are you guys are +7h vs apollython?

Just use the worldclock at www.timeanddate.com

SmartFart · September 23, 2000, 22:55

Launched!

Finally!

Arii testing Xin's theory,but i got Philosophy 1st. However.....all my techs are blue,due to scenario removing. That hurts.

Looking forward to next session.

SmartFart · September 24, 2000, 22:38

Not sure about next session. I have small surgery to accomplish in about 3 hours. It depends how long i have to stay in hospital after doctors do their job.
I do hope i'll be ready til weekend,but if not,you know what's the case.

arii · September 25, 2000, 00:15

Good 1st session.
I'm falling behind in pop and powergraph but am ahead in wonders: 3-1-0.
You pay a price in terms of expanssion with that new strategy but it gives interresting results as you can get faster to key techs.
I also was focusing on wonder building which slows you down a lot.
When can we resume the game? Next saturday or sunday?

CapTVK · September 25, 2000, 07:30

I decided to go for a growth strategy. ignoring wonders for the short term and concentrating on growth instead. Seems to work for the moment seeing the powergraph, it could go anyway at this stage.

As for next weekend...
I would prefer the same time as last weekend 15-18:00 CET if SF's back on his feet of course.

arii · September 25, 2000, 20:58

Same time works for me this week end. I can even start up to an hour earlier.
Good luck with the surgery smart!

SmartFart · September 30, 2000, 06:37

Everything went just fine. I am ready to continue tomorrow (sunday). I'll be available any time before 20.00 CET (i have a party starting exactly in 20.00 CET).
What time suits you guys?

CapTVK · September 30, 2000, 14:13

Glad to see you're already on your feet again SF, everything okay?

If we're planning to play this sunday I would prefer the afternoon again. Perhaps around 15:00 or 16:00 till 18:00 CET?

Otherwise next saturday at 15:00 CET

arii · September 30, 2000, 15:21

15:00 to 18:00 is fine with me.
See you guys then.

SmartFart · October 1, 2000, 15:44

Short session,but long enough for Aztecs to finish MC.

If we're going to play one hour per week,we should be able to finish this in about 7 years on such a big map.

I will sacrifice my long sleep and get up early morning if that helps to get at least 4 hours of gaming,but that's probably a very bad timing for Arii,cuz he is 8 hours behind CET.

Perhaps really early saturday morning...something like 07.00?

arii · October 2, 2000, 13:37

I don't mind going to bed late on friday or sat(up to 3:00am) or get up early (up to 6:30 am) if it will accomodate for more playing time. This saturday morning I can play until 10:45am and until 11:30am on sunday.
Good 2nd session although short. I did some catch up on the powergraph and smart did some catch up on the wonder front with mike. Looks like a very interesting game.

CapTVK · October 2, 2000, 16:28

SF, Ari

I'm willing to start real early on saturday morning if that's okay with Ari. 6-7 am CET Sat morning would around 22-23 pm friday night. Although it's a bit silly to set your alarmclock for a MP-game (then again, getting up at 5 in the morning to go fishing is pretty silly too, those fish are going nowhere... )

Ari,

It seems SF is ready to continue on sat morning. I'm ready to play an early morning session around 6-7 am CET. Is that okay with you?

SmartFart · October 2, 2000, 23:24

That's about 23.00 his time. 07.00 CET. Perhaps we could actually finish it in some normal ammount of time.
I would like to...can't wait until gunpowder.
