Proposing a new (diplo) 1x1x USA Thurs nights

deity · March 15, 2002, 20:34

Our Sat night game is in it's final stages (possibly) and I want to get a new solid regular game underway. Preferably a diplo but these have evolved into games where pure civ war is possible and does happen so you can't leave cities undefended at all.

In that game we have 7 players who ALL turn up EVERY week for several months (with the odd exception where we needed a sub).
This is the dedication and committment I really appreciate, so thanks:
Berzerker
Makeo
cannon fodder - goes by another name as well

Dangime
Hydey
Winzity

and the subs:
Flatlander Fox
Prometheus

I hope some of you guys can play in this new game and new blood (!) is always needed.
drake said he could play Thurs nights///

This game will be in addition to any follow up in the Sat night slot when the current game ends.

Flatlander Fox · March 15, 2002, 21:02

I am really looking at Friday or Saturday nights, and I hope to see some interest in my scenario picking up as a Diplo-game.

If not, I'll be getting the hell kicked out of me with Rah one night a weekend, and trying to Diplo one night a week.

This might be a stupid question but do you need the multiplayer cd to play? and any ideas on the time on thursdays yet?

Kuja · March 16, 2002, 02:14

Thursdays look good to me, and this HOTW3 game is very fun, so if this is anything like that I'm interested.

Dank · March 19, 2002, 10:52

I'd like to play in it for sure.....contact me via ICQ or AIM

Macai · March 22, 2002, 17:53

count me in! Just contact me on ICQ or AIM and tell me what the
time of the game is!

Since i have no life i can almost guarantee ill show up every week!

deity · March 22, 2002, 21:54

Not so many takers so far in this diplo.

We've got:

Deity Dude
deity (me)
Macai
Dank
Forty-Three

We need 7 plus a few subs....

Deity Dude · March 22, 2002, 22:50

Thanks for counting me in deity. I am available at 9pm or later on Thurs nite (est). Is this game gonna follow the format of Ozzy's game - (special units, predetermiined starts, etc. etc) - or are the details still up in the air.

We got a random straight forward diplo on Sat nights now so I'm totally open to suggestions here. We can do a modpak or use an existing one. There are two good Europe paks and two good world paks plus my 'real' Earth like map and units.

markusf · March 24, 2002, 13:18

I can play, since i am NOT working these days i got a lot of time.

Not as stupid as one might think. I think I gave my multiplayer CD to Bud years ago, I use the Fantastic Worlds expansion disk and everything works just fine. Just as long as you have MP installed any Civ2 CD will work.

Ok, that's good Markus - I'll give you one more chance

Be good to get a few others too, like arii and drake? I think they wanted a game on USA Thurs night....

Berzerker · March 24, 2002, 23:15

Deity Dude
deity (me)
Macai
Dank
Forty-Three
Markus
Berzerker

When we get confirms we can start either today or next Thurs night... say 7pm USA EST? (Clocks change this weekend reducing the differential between New York and Sydney to 12 hours from 14 hours)

Seeing who's online at the moment maybe some of us can play Foxes scn today... ?

deity · March 28, 2002, 21:19

I relly want to play theses settings but in another game they failed...

But I think they are good settings if we get the right random map...... let's say we start and play a few turns to make sure everyone is happy.. then no whinging allowed.. or aloud! LOL

I'll take whatever I get and Markus and Berz should too as Top Tier players

Settings and Rules:

Customise World: Normal 50x80 Map, normal landmass, varied terrain, wet, cool, 4 billion yrs, Deity level, 7 civs, Roving Bands, Std Rules
1x1x
ONE Wonder per civ
NO Alliances
NO Tech trading
ONLY capture one undefended city per turn pre-1000BC (per civ)
ONLY capture 3 cities per turn per civ thereafter
Ceding units OK, BUT NO double moves
No City bribe
Unit bribe OK
All tricks acceptable in Rah Rules are OK - like IRB is OK, etc
All the cheats not accepted in Rah rules NOT OK - NO caraporting, etc
You can't ask another civ to go to war on someone else to avoid revolution

PLEASE POST your confirmations for starting next Thurs night USA DAYLIGHT time New York at 7pm< I suggest - that is 9am Friday in Aussieland.

Dank · March 29, 2002, 10:03

Man seems like I've read this post before somewhere...lol......seriously now...it's fine by me the only thing I ask is that I'm the Mongols..

winzity · March 29, 2002, 11:07

So this game going on Thursdays nights. It's 1 AM in Sweden on Fridays. Maybe I can have interests in join it. Please use ICQ to keep contact with me. Which day is suggested as start date?

War4ever · March 29, 2002, 12:42

let me know if you guyz need a sub for any of your dip games...... having broken up with my girlfriend and not working nights anymore....(well this is going on over a year now) i have loads of time for a one night a week game/subbing

i am here if you need me
cheers

OzzyKP · March 30, 2002, 00:24

It looks like History Of The World 3 is in need of a sub for the Zulu. Kuja has decided to bow out due to connection difficulties (although if it hasn't truly been decided please correct me ASAP so I don't replace you without your consent!). So if you think you are up to the level demanded of you in HOTW3, and if you have a stable connection and can make Wednesday nights at 7 PM, then please post here: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...&goto=lastpost

BTW, Kuja's position is the biggest and bestest in the world. He is much larger and powerful than anyone else in the game. So to keep things balanced Markus' need not apply.

Kuja is also my ally in the game, so i get a bit of a say I suppose.

General rules: Very important you stay in character. Role-playing is the key element in diplogames and I put a stress on it. Please try to make interesting and captivating posts about game progress and such. Also relate to your fellow gamers as if you were really head of a nation.

It is on a world map, there are Germans, Russians, Arabs (me), Chinese, Indians, and Zulu (Kuja). The Americas and Australia are for colonization. No conquest limits or much else, just play your role. Everything is discussed in detail in the HOTW3 thread. The story thread is linked to in my profile.

Umm, anything else I'm leaving out? I'm hoping for a good replacement, Kuja did a fine job so far, someone needs to fill his shoes.

YOu didn't post that i was a top tier player when asked in the whose the best player thread, there something you wish to say now?

OzzyKP · April 2, 2002, 13:40

Well there are a lot of good players out there, I haven't played many of them so I chose not to pick the one who kicks the most ass, I decided to pick the best player in my particular genre, Diplogaming.

As far as ass kicking goes, yea, you are among the best.

deity · April 3, 2002, 06:33

I'm having to put the start of this off another week until we get confirms... I have to work on Aussie Friday this week.

I'm only interested in a full 6/7 player MP game so come on deitydude and everyone - confirm please! I even installed AIM to see dd online but he's never there!

Deity Dude ?
deity (me)
Macai ?
Dank ?
Kuja ?
Forty-Three ?
Markus
Berzerker
Winzity

Proposed for USA Thurs nights: 7pm EDT, say.

drake · April 3, 2002, 20:34

I think I'd sign up......but I think my days of 6 and 7 player escapades is over. They get drawn out too much. Its too hard to get everyone to show week after week.

If a game with 4 people ever started again I think I'd be in. That amount of players makes the world diverse enough and yet still small enough so that turns go by fairly quickly.

Good luck with this one old man.

Kuja · April 3, 2002, 22:45

k, i'm confirming for thursdays. i have no classes on friday so i can play as long as needed

Deity Dude · April 5, 2002, 22:03

Sorry deity - I was out of commission for a few.

I can confirm for thursdays but cant start until 9pm est, I work until 8pm. I hope that works.

Can we disucss some of the rules:

I definitely don't like unit gifting/cedeing

Why only one wonder per civ?

I prefer no barbs (it seems like an unecessary luck element, but I can live with it.)

By the way - what is your AIM ID deity

War4ever · April 6, 2002, 23:35

Just for the record....i can play..i can play for a lot of thursdays in a row...i know how to play, and i know how to write and blah blah blah..if you need a seventh...or sub ...icq me please or post here for me

deity · April 7, 2002, 00:56

The reliable list that's forming is:

Deity Dude
deity (me)
Markus
Berzerker
Winzity
War4ever
Kuja

DD, my AIM is: CaptainDeiticus

War4ever · April 7, 2002, 02:10

I think it has something to do with the fact that last time deity got a 7 player diplogame going i managed to build 7 wonders and 24 cities before 1ad... For some reason no one wanted to continue
