The next set of turns

Darkness' Edge · September 5, 2002, 22:42

Directors, please get polling, and make your set of orders.

It's too late for a turnchat tommorrow, so I guess it'll have to be a turnthread next time next week.

Pandemoniak · September 6, 2002, 06:12

When is the deadline ?

DeathByTheSword · September 6, 2002, 11:58

HI maybe (if I said this again sorry) you? or me if i become AT can start an topped thread with info about when turns are going to be played. and before when desicions have to be made

just an idea from the ravaged mind that is me

MrWhereItsAt · September 6, 2002, 12:10

Don't worry, noble looker-out for the people of our game DBTS.

It has been proposed, is under control.

DeathByTheSword · September 6, 2002, 12:12

i like that name

just liking this stuff big time that all

Method · September 6, 2002, 15:25

well, my polls still stand. continue ecology, and then information networks. i approve all tech trading if possible.

Darkness' Edge · September 7, 2002, 05:51

Um, I haven't seen many polls going on.

I need all of you to do your jobs, so I can do mine.

And I can't really set a date for a turnchat, until all of the necessary polls have been done (or at least posted). As it's looking now, you'll probably have to ask DBTS, as a turnchat before my play performances start is looking unlikely.

Darkness' Edge · September 7, 2002, 21:53

Alright, I've made up my mind. I'm going to hold a turnCHAT, any time between 10PM GMT Wednesday and 6AM GMT Thursday.

Before I make it official, what time would suit people?

Directors, make sure you've got all your orders in by Wednesday at the latest. I don't want a repeat of last time.

Method · September 7, 2002, 22:01

it is probable that i will be able to attend.

GeneralTacticus · September 8, 2002, 00:23

As far as I can see, there is nothing that would concern my Directorate.

Wow. During the day - I'm not used to that. I may not be able to make those times - I have been working 10 hour days in RL and those times cover Thursday completely for me.

ahh, that's a shame

still, if you make a detailed set of orders, we should be able to proceed okay

normally i'd have to run a chat at night or on weekends, but it just so happens i'm getting thursday off

Anodyne · September 8, 2002, 05:34

Between 10PM and 6AM GMT it's 0:00-8:00 here, so I'm most probably sleeping. But I might still be able to attend (my natural sleep/awake cycles aren't always that natural...)

Oh, and Thursday-Friday-Saturday next week I'm probably not able to attend... IRL-thingies

Likewise... heh, the budget has only allowed me one assistant, no wonder though... We've been playing lots of chess and checkers the past week. His game is improving nicely.

Anodyne · September 8, 2002, 06:07

...I've been having lots of time to improve my skills with... um... I've had lots of time to... improve... umm... to have some... I mean... I've done a lot of studying and... I've... I've... I'm progressing in... umm...

Well okay, then! God dammit, I've been partying and drinking by the truck loads at Rec Commons! There! That's right! You happy now?

...yes, I guess I might need something in my hands

DeathByTheSword · September 8, 2002, 07:56

SAVS, REPORT thread updated! anyone idea how to change it?

DeathByTheSword · September 9, 2002, 14:52

I might be able to attend from 22.00 GMT until 23.00 GMT. and where are we holding the turnchat? not in apolyton i hope!

Lemmy · September 9, 2002, 15:26

Worker Placings:

New Apolytonia-- (1) Nutrient tile; (2) any rolling/moist tile; (3) the mineral tile.
Base 2-- (1) The rolling/moist tile on the river; (2) the nutrient tile.

AGH! Warning! I scheduled a turnchat for the Civ3 game last weekend at 0900GMT/0400 EST. I was dead on time GMT, but somewhen the time in the East of the USA became EST+1 (EDT). This meant that the East USAers thought I was one hour late, and started at 0500 their time. So, although EST and GMT never change, IIRC neither of these times is the current time for that zone. In other words Lomdon time at the moment is GMT+1 and East USA time is EST+1.

Be warned - this means the chat will be at 1000 Thursday for New Zealand, 0800 Thursday for DE in Vic, 2300 Wednesday in London (GMT 2200) and 1800 Wednesday on the East of the USA (EST 1700).

If I have made another time mistake, let me know - check yourselves, but I was caught out with this recently, so I should know.

And I will try to be there for the end - the first half hour I will be getting back from Uni, but I can make it for the last 30-35 minutes of that.

DeathByTheSword · September 10, 2002, 11:01

london is GMT-0 and the time you see on this forum are specific for you so it may be different. so i live in GMT +1 so i will be there 23.00 my time but i have this forum put down everthing from me as GMT so make counting for myself easier! but i will be there 22.00 GMT!

btw how do i get own EFnet?

Lemmy · September 10, 2002, 11:07

DBTS: 2200 GMT = 2300 Dutch time, not 2100

DeathByTheSword · September 10, 2002, 11:09

oh CRAP that is what i ment

sorry changing now

MrWhereItsAt · September 10, 2002, 11:11

I am on EFnet right now. I just connected using mIRC as usual, except in the options I chose an EFnet server (right word for it?). I am in #smacdg right now.

It's very boring. Come and say hi before I crash.

DeathByTheSword · September 10, 2002, 11:23

trying to connect but failing evertime (timedout! anyone an idea?)

MrWhereItsAt · September 10, 2002, 11:28

It did that frequently to me too, until I hit it lucky with the CA, AB, Edmonton server (the first in my EF list) - try it.
