Sounds like evenings EST/ early evening MST seems to be our best time all around.
Irregardless, I think we can safely say the game is going to go quickly!

Lets hope Zak is confused by our quick speed!

NorthSwordsman · December 14, 2001, 21:32

FORMERS! Aw man, give me that tech! Wouldn't even give me that as an option.

Had to settle for Indy base. Sigh... Ah well. Perim Def and Synth garrisons...

Black Sunrise · December 14, 2001, 21:33

BTW, I'm slowing down just a touch. I need to start juggling my resource production a bit. 5 minute turns now.

Flubber · December 14, 2001, 21:34

The turn must be lost. After all its been 8 minutes

Black Sunrise · December 14, 2001, 21:35

Another game abandoned because it took too long between moves.
*snap*

Flubber · December 14, 2001, 21:36

tech I don't need no freakin' tech

good point is the techless first 10 years are just flying by

I have to agree. This ain't a RTS game.

. Besides, Flubber will want to get home to Mrs. Flubber on a 40 minute bus.

Black Sunrise · December 14, 2001, 21:36

We need to make contact so we can discuss strategy!

Black Sunrise · December 14, 2001, 21:38

Suggestion
Take the bus now, I'll go take my nap, I'll be up in 1.5 hours for a couple quick moves till 2 hours from now, then I'm off to work....
I really should get that nap.

Flubber · December 14, 2001, 21:39

NS no hurry to see Mrs. flubber-- she's at work for another hour-- burses and their 12 hour shifts

I can usually play at all hours.

Radman · December 14, 2001, 21:40

Hi again:

All I can say is that you must have some fast machines as I'm still moving while you all are posting!!!! What can I say!! Move received 6:34 and sent 6:42 pm MST.

Radman

Flubber · December 14, 2001, 21:42

2105 to indra

Black Sunrise · December 14, 2001, 21:45

Well, I'm cheating, and I expect we all are.
I have open:
Outlook express, waiting
a notepad document with game notes and the next players email for copy/pasting
SMACX already open, MP selected, the folder i put weird science games in selected

Move sent!
3 minutes.

Now, as I was saying
also open is the folder that the computer saves games into, and IE.
Get move, open, unzip, pick folder, unzip. 10 seconds.
Switch to other window with ACX, click on folder, select file i just unzipped, open play, save
switch to notepad, copy email address, swtich to folder with save, zip and email move, paste address, switch to IE, post.
This way I don't hold you guys up opening ACX every time.

Hope this helped.
Indra

Flubber · December 14, 2001, 21:45

sounds good-- I will pack up here at work and head home-- next bus is in 20 minutes

I'll be back on here in about an hour to check in-- darn this felt like real time

Radman · December 14, 2001, 21:47

Hi all:

I guess I'd better hurry and get this note in before another 5 or 6 notes get posted!

Too late!!!

Well, I have no place to go to night so when Flubber and Black Sunrise need to sign-off, no problem! I'm exhausted, not by work by the frequency of the move and trying to stay up!

Radman, try some coffee, buddy. Or hyped-up Caffeined Cola.

Black Sunrise · December 14, 2001, 21:49

OK, Taking 1.5 hour nap.

Current status:
Great starting location.
Home bases working on formers and guards.
Scouts out exploring looking for neighbors. Lets hope I find you guys, and not Zak!
Things looking pretty good.
having fun.
Back in a bit.

My cheat is to have my email provider open in multiple windows with an already addressed outgoing message ready and the attchment pop-up activated. I check incoming in one yahoo window and send out through another. I don't usually do this but when trying to play in 1 minute :

Flubber · December 14, 2001, 21:54

radman--"stay up?"== aren't we in the same time zone-- ie Mountain? or are you working/ studying all sorts of different hours?

Flubber · December 14, 2001, 21:57

oops time to run-- so no hurry-- I should be turn the turn in about an hour

Radman · December 14, 2001, 22:05

Hi again:

I guess my message about being tired was alittle crytic and hurried as my note should have been better written and was meant to read "I'm exhausted, not by work BUT by the frequency of moves and trying to stay up with you all!"

I'll be ready when play resume

Radman

Radman · December 14, 2001, 22:08

Whoops!

I forget to let you all know move received at 6:55 and sent on at 7:02 pm. The moves were at such a quick pace its unbelievable, at least in the PBEM I've been in@!!!

Radman

Flubber · December 14, 2001, 23:02

turn to indra at 7:55-- which at 45+ minutes is the slowest turn to date

er guys just so you know . . . I do plan to sleep

Black Sunrise · December 14, 2001, 23:32

Tech advance.
Discovered a Rover.
Found another ocean.

Move sent.
30 minutes! Including a long nap!
Wish I didn't have to work, but I only have about 15 more minutes.
Will try to get 1 more move in.

Radman · December 14, 2001, 23:37

HI all:

Just logging in to let you all know that I'm on-site and ready to go when it arrives

Radman

Googlie · December 15, 2001, 00:29

Hmmm - 2106 is it?

Zak's prolly discovering Nonlinear Math around now, and Aki is off researching Gene Splicing would be my bet ..... and Roze's foil probes are prolly just three tiles away .....

Googlie · December 15, 2001, 00:31

Just kidding.

hexk of an impressive start - that must be the fastest a 'Poly page has filled apart from the off-topic forum and the "I've got CivIII" thread.

Congrats on an almost IP game start

Flubber · December 15, 2001, 02:02

I checked in but no sign of the turn and black sunrise is at work anyway-- so

Hmm... about 6 hours. Well, some people DO sleep.

Not to mention, I do have other duties (taking care of an invalid wife), and I do need sleep. *yawn*. 4 hours sleep... I think I'm gonna hit the hay for a few more if I'm to be of any coherent words today. *yawn*.
