Active MP players
I know there is an ICQ list of players, but many of the people on that list no longer play. I was just wondering who the hard core players still are.
It seems to be getting harder and harder to put a game together.
Who still plays regularly?

twice a week (almost)every week for the last 7 months......though I'm not one for pickup games......all games that I play have been organized on these forums.
I've only been playing mp for those same 7 months Ming.....so I don't know about the mp history around here....is the renaissance over?
Will civ III revive mp activity? I'm guessing it will bring in a new crop of players if nothing else.....it better be good!

I stay active in GameLeague Tribe play, but I'm not very active in regular MP games very much anymore. First, it is difficult to find players who will stick to a long game at a regular time. Second, more and more players want to play with altered rules (adding units, changing movements, etc) and I don't find that very interesting. Third, I don't have much free time, and I miss my time spent on other interests (gardening, fishing, wood-working).
I never wanted to play a lot of different Civ games, just have one good standard one going along at a regular time.

On a per head of population basis, we more than dominate this territory, we own this territory. What's more, we're contemplating a levy for non-Australians posting in our territory.

Another hardcore civer here. I've gotten a little "civ burned" lately, but still play a lot.
Still waiting to get into a game with Ming the Merciless and get my share of butt-kicking!
BTW, there's always a phone symbol next to your name in the ICQ list when you're on-line. What's that all about, still trying to get the ICQ phone to work?

Well, in two top diplo games I'm roughly equal supreme or close to it; but in the posting stakes we are beyond any competetion

Not to mention Rimmer and Spod....

Nope, sorry mate! In that case this forum is Swedish territory! However, if you count on a per head of ex-convicts... Wait, isn't that the same thing?
RAH, no I haven't tried the ICQ phone service. I would make a fool of myself with my school boy English among all the the foul-mouthed yanks! I can see it now: "My real name is Helga. Please leave the vicinity of Birka or I will have to send my icebears to talk to you."

Mmmm. Last year your national population was about 8.8 million. Ours has just hit 19 million. How many active Swedish posters are there in this territory?
