Poll: MP zones
rah's mouthwatering review of multiplayer just gave me an idea....
if one can preorder civ3, one should also be able to predesign civ3 groups for MP. my guess is that rasputing and yin might go along fine in their time zones, i'm in 'yurip' like uncle funk, provost, solver, etc....and i do need to list all the guys in the usa. how about a little sign up sheet to check where we are, timezoneswise....?

What exactly is the point of this? The choices are very vague too, as well as there not being many choices.

Yeah, most people will primarily be playing with people that have time zones near them. So I don't think this poll is really that important.

Yurip = Europe in Dubyaspeak (eerily similar to Newspeak in George Orwell's "1984." That's ungood.)

well, not that the other polls were much smarter (do you think civ 3 will be good/out in october/in a box and other feats of precognition). i just jumped on the bandwagon.

I hope to play a lot of PBEM MP games with Civ III so I really don't care what time zone you live in.
I just don't have time to waste waiting to make sure someone is logged into the proper ISP number and then play a game for 6+ hours. I wish I could, but I have other things to do like post here.

Ras, I think most of the Yins are in Sydney's Oxford St. The rest of us here are very heavy on the Yang...

Is Ming supposed to be Michigan? If so, I am far from Ming.
