An Offer To Play To Newbies

April 26, 2001, 11:10

Sometimes it's difficult for someone new to Civ to find someone with experience to play a game with, and teach aspects at same time.

Not that I'm the greatest, but Saturday around 6:00 p.m. central time, I'll make myself available to any newbies who would like to play.

I'll set it for King and 2x.
Post here if you're interested.
If even one says yes, I'll be there.
More than 6, and I think I can find a second host.

E*** ** ***** and W***, feel free to flame away at me.

I'm at -6.
For Aussies, I'll be on line around 7 tomorrow (Saturday) morning.
I doubt you're in need, being around long enough for King in posting.

I'm getting quite a few message, some from people I have doubts are serious.

Let me say this. Don't yank my chain.
I'm trying to do something nice, which is a strain in itself.

Don't message me unless you're really wanting to try and improve.
Contrary to popular belief, I do have a life.
I could do other things.

How can a newbie teach a newbie?

April 27, 2001, 17:08

Am I freaking good, or what?
Can I call them?
Some people, I know like the back of my hand.

Full house, and many ICQing me to set up something again.
Luckily Boann offered a hand and was playing;
and saved the day when I siezed up and had to reboot.
Thanks y'all.

Should've been thought of sooner by someone that mattered.

Until next time.

Check out Tribes.

Will you charge me for this Slowwhand?

April 30, 2001, 06:50

You'll have nothing to do with them by helping make them better,
why would they want to have anything to do with you, once they ARE better?
I won't even go into the snotty ass messages and posts.

And no, no charge.
You might keep the quote intact rather than bastardizing it though.

is that better Dad?
but it still doesn't work

April 30, 2001, 13:15

Yes, it was good.
More people involved, or wanting to be involoved than I expected.
Had 2 on hand trying to join and couldn't due to patches and such.

After the game was underway, many message kept arriving via ICQ; asking would there be another session.
Said sure to all.

The flood of messages contributed to my crash, I think.
Maybe not, as this is a wheeze box I'm using.
My cable connection usually holds up well though.
Still, no problems afterwards, and I had ICQ turned to invisible.

Anyway. Thanks for coming to the game.
We'll do it again.

April 30, 2001, 17:47

That would be cool, Moker.
Thanks for the offer.
I'll be taking you up on it. Get 2 games going at once, so no one is left behind.
