Hi welcome on board. just saying hello because it can be a pain waiting for a response. Yeah I'll play but not able to construct the game. ( going off to learn though). Since I joined there has been a regular flow of new members. I'm in three games here though 2 haven't quite started or reached me.
Hang around we may attract other players. Any good at designing.

Oh meanwhile go read all the strategy hints if you have not done so already. Lots of game play ideas.
Also while you'r waiting join the democracy game: quite entertaining.

I have read some multiplayer strategies on and off in the past, but never had the time until lately. I just reinstalled the game and was itching to play something over the net.
I could start one I guess, but was hoping to play a few to see how I like it going against other human players, and see what people like.
Yes, I have browse through AC - Democracy, interesting.

I'm more interested in a simultaneous or just turn base. of course, if I have the time for that once I start working again, which will probably be this week.

Willing to try IP also
Hey there Lazerus! Well, I'm just responding to let you all know that if it's a good time for me, I am very much willing to try a multiplayer IP game. Contact me at Arcainite@aol.com if interested and I'll need to know if we're playing with all factions available or just the original ones.

How's sunday for you ? what time zone you in ? I'm GMT so if you could reply with a resonable time to meet.
Norm settings, smax, medium-large planet, I don't mind which factions are playing, though if your going to set it up ready to play then make me Hive again

Well, my time zone is in the United States Eastern Standard Time. I hope this won't be an insurmountable difficulty but if so, best of luck. If not, I hope to hear from you guys soon on exactly when.

Do you have to have broadband to play IP. SMAC/x fills whole screen so how does it work interactively

conditions? Who will be what factions?
What victory and planet conditions are we going to have? Lazerus, your response was somewhat vague. You are hosting, right? Well, let's go ahead and claim who we will be playing. I'd like to play the University of Planet this game. I've never played them yet either and I'm trying new factions I haven't played lately.

My apologies
I was over at a friend's house and they talked me into staying even though I told them I had an online engagement to attend to. I stayed over there longer and missed the scheduled time! I am so bad! Well, the good thing about playing live though is that it won't take us very long to catch up on things. I'll tell you what though, is it just you and me playing Lazerus or is Impossible still going to play and whoever else? If it's just you and me, when you see me come on AIM, IM me and we can probably play whenever I'm on. It would go faster that way though perhaps not as smoothly since we wouldn't be using a schedule.

Theres another thread by jacobev who would play an ip game and he says he has a friend also so that would make 4 and if impossible ever returns to his own thread we could have maybe 5.
Even if we can't get others us 2 playing with 5 comps is fine for me since i want to see if i can grow as fast as another human since the comp tends to drop off fairly fast.

tried making an aol account so i could use that AIM and after 5 failed attempts to get a nick i managed to find 1 that wasn't taken only to be told i had made too many attempts today and to try again in a 24hr period !!!! 
well if you read this logon to icq i've got that and tried contacting you several times over it since i think jacob sev wants to meet at 8pm GMT today , which is 3hrs from now so not much time.

Sly-
The most active place to get involved in IP games is the IP tournament ksev is hosting. You can find it at http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=66338
We just had our first 3 player game today, with ksev, Dreifels, and myself. It is pretty interesting! We played 61 years online.
