dregman mailed me, that he can probably play on sunday(tomorrow) .I can play tomorrow nearly the whole day.
@dregman/mazz: Please post, at what time you can play exactly. Or, when you can not play, post asap that you can not, so that we perhaps can start even earlier.

If we can not manage to start our game5 this weekend, I only want to be a reserve player for other games, because I do not want to delay the whole tournament, since the start date has been 2 weeks ago and we had 3 weekends in that.

Scooter and me are playing this afternoon (testgame) 17:00 (5pm) german time.

@mazz: if you can play today, you are cordially invited to join us.

dregman · September 28, 2002, 13:25

hello dregman

Then we played our old test game from 7:30 till 8:30 (same password). Where were YOU?????

ok, when can you two play next time. I can tomorrow (monday)early evening. 18:00.

Shadow · September 29, 2002, 22:01

Can I sugget you boys put your times in GMT and keep to quoting all times in GMT. Sometimes people push all the time conversion work onto the other players it seems, and only focus on their local time. It's a team effort, we've gotta all work together to pull this tournament off.

Loc can get it started, but it's up to us to keep it rolling.

K Shadow and Arsenal, guys i will see you 5pm pacific Monday( That's for me and Arsenal ), Shadow thats your Tuesday.

Shadow · September 30, 2002, 02:56

Toni and Arsenal - GREAT game so far!

I may be a tad late... won't go into it, but be assured I WILL GET THERE! I'll do everything I can reasonably do to get there on time, and I probably will, but I'm just letting you know I may be delayed.

Cheers.

mkalthoff · September 30, 2002, 08:43

Sorry Shadow, but all our game members are in CET, so I thougt, the others aren't interested anyway.

By the way, our match started (game 5, with dregman, scooter and me) a little delayed, but it started. Don't rember how much turns, but we played nearly 2 hours. Luckily, the AI with the greatest army has attitude peacekeeper (as dregman told us). According to the powergraph, we are all worse than the AI's, but we are working hard and we have no war so far.

We obviously only had some problems with restart after a diner break.

@dregman. btw, scooter told me, he could play today from 8:30 pm on (that is 7:30 GMT). And you?

mazzz · September 30, 2002, 18:35

Thanks for the heads up.

Fun game, certainly. But one of the strangest games I've ever played. Going from SP to MP is an adjustment, no question. Not to mention I'm not a big fan of max-diverse terrain. I guess it keeps one player from starting out in totally crap position while the others are sitting pretty, since its all diverse, but this dessert next to ice patch next to swamp squares is making life difficult for me.

Toni · October 1, 2002, 00:26

K guys good game. Many crushes but it was good game. Arsenal we agreed with Shadow to continue on W 5pm, (our W), see you then buddy.

dregman · October 1, 2002, 03:47

I hope to be available on thursday evening between 7 and 8 pm i hope to be online.
i can play until 10 pm i think.
laterz.....

Toni · October 2, 2002, 01:39

Hey Shadow and Arsenal, guys u are u can make it for W's game right. Let me know. Shadow already knows, but Arsenal pls replay so that we know!

Shadow · October 2, 2002, 03:41

Yeah I'm ok for W's game (my Thursday, I've got it sorted out.) Your 5pm.

Cheers.

Maquiladora · October 2, 2002, 04:52

How many turns have you completed now? Anyone declared war with each other yet?

Your team is the only one which is not making any kind of progress in getting a game started. What's the deal? I will once again try to suggest a time when you guys could play - please either confirm that you can make this time or suggest a better time. If you just say 'no can do' but don't suggest an alternative you'll never get this rolling...

I suggest Sunday 29 September at 15:00 EST/12:00 PST. Please respond ASAP...

I'm afraid my window of opportunity has closed. I'm sorry I haven't been around but things have not been good around here lately. I initially tried to get in touch with Wise Ass and Oerdin via pm's and messages here to no avail. Sorry, but maybe another time. Unfortunately I cannot participate. My sincere apologies and thanks for your understanding.

Shadow · October 2, 2002, 18:13

Maq - if I remember correctly we're at about 400 turns or so. No wars yet. I won't generally start a war unless someone bugs me.

I'm watching you boys...

This is my first MP game, but as I see it there's no way around war. I don't know how you can win in diplomacy or science without at least some fighting. It's just a question of whether its going to be sooner or later. I don't want to speak for the others, but it seems its human nature to crush the AI first, then turn your swords to the other players. But .... like Shadow said, I'm keeping an eye out on these boys as well. Who knows what they're plotting

Shadow · October 2, 2002, 22:14

Due to massive amounts of crashing and being unable to go beyond the year 970, we have elected to gather the rankings and scores from the most recent save and submit them as our official game.
Here are the details and the save...

Rank Score Cities Advances

Toni -1- -2260- -26- -49-

Shadow -2- -2040- -23- -49-

TheArsenal -5- -890- -13- -34-

Both myself and Toni started off strong and I gather we were both able to trade science somewhere along the line. I think Arsenal ended up with less than hospitable terrain and had large chunks of ice to deal with, and so was a bit handicapped in that respect.

No wars between human players, although we were eyeing each other off from time to time. I crushed the Germans rather quick, and I think the French and English were soon to follow.

A good game, just a shame we couldn't finish.
