Setting up IP games XLIV - Page 6

Fun game, what happened war? Our icq phone dropped so I figured you'd been booted from the game, but you were still playing your turns (we think) I sent a few king chats and you didn't respond, but you were still playing your turns (we think) then we finally got the message that you had dropped. It was a bit strange, but after 8 ours of "refreshments" anything is possible.

Re-discovering just how cool Civ II can be

I'll be around if anyone needs me for a game.

Welcome back to the greatest mp game of all time.

Being from the UK, you might have a problem time wise with this group, since most of us play at night on US time. But if that doesn't stop you... read the rah rules thread in this forum. It details the settings and the nit picky rules this group usually uses... If those are ok for you, keep posting and hopefully you can get into a game in the future.

I'll send a ICQ to you so you can add me to your list.

Ming · April 15, 2003, 15:38

I guess it would help if I provided a link to the Rah Rules thread...

Well that was truly odd......... I answered the phone, it was longdistance, and put you on mute, i saw your KC and i could see the game moving around me...i must have been ghosting????????

then when i got off the phone quite a bit later, the icq phone had dropped and the ghosting finished..i guess i was finally booted....

it would appear my connection was unstable as i was not able to access the net...

apparently you didnt' receive my KC either???? i sent a couple back

Cool, thanks!

I tend to be up late when I can get away with it, I have a favourite NWN server that I go to but it's full most nights now so I thought I would mix my drinks, so to speak, instead of chugging the same thing every night

Yes, quite strange. Especially since your turns were still taking a minute or two. Well at least I wasn't hallucinating. Icq phone still showed us connected but the line was dead. It was bizarre. But after 8 hours of refreshments, nothing strange is really that strange

And welcome marvinkosh.

War4ever · April 15, 2003, 23:40

Check you PM's war.

If I get everything done around here, I may take friday off, but it's too soon to tell.

War4ever · April 16, 2003, 10:35

pm checked, did you get mine?

well get everything done, i can play on thurs, fri, sat, but not sun

if we had some regulares, we could really get one going

Ming · April 16, 2003, 10:41

Count me out for this weekend... Lots of family stuff scheduled... sigh...

War4ever · April 16, 2003, 10:43

i might have to go looking for some easter tail

rah · April 16, 2003, 11:11

Yes, I won't be at Ming's friday. But I should still be avail Friday and Saturday. Thursday, we'll see. (must stop posting and do more work)

Anyone know the postage rate for sending a letter from the US to Cananda?

War4ever · April 16, 2003, 11:15

it cant be more than a dollar, its like 48cents or so to send one across canada in canada, and your dollar is better.....

rah · April 16, 2003, 11:29

Ok, I'll just put 3 First class stamps on it, that should cover it.

rah · April 16, 2003, 18:21

Ok, it's in the mail.
It will be interesting to see how long it takes to get there.

Baron O · April 16, 2003, 21:07

war and rah

may be interested in a couple of those games, let me know

Ming · April 16, 2003, 23:00

Rah... wouldn't it have been better to send it priority mail... at least it would included tracking and a receipt of delivery?????

War4ever · April 16, 2003, 23:56

probably would have gotten here quicker too

perhaps the ferrrets are digging their way to the land of the beaver

rah · April 17, 2003, 08:04

And of course, that option never occured to me. Considering that there's a post office less than a mile from work....................DOH.

-Jrabbit · April 17, 2003, 08:25

What about FNSGS tomorrow, Ming?

rah · April 17, 2003, 09:14

I believe it's a no-go.

Rah is correct... Family stuff on Friday night.

So unfortunately, this weeks FNSGS has been cancelled.

rah · April 17, 2003, 09:29

On a side note, if it stays slow at work today, I'm taking tomorrow off. Don't know if my daughter will hog the PC, but I may be around. Maybe later if she doesn't cooperate early.

And War, they're discussing you beloved hockey team in the OT.

http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=83744

in case you're interested.

War4ever · April 17, 2003, 10:12

thanks i will check it out later....

rah · April 17, 2003, 10:16

I'll try to log on early and leave you an ica to verify if I am indeed taking tomorrow off. (looking more likely by the second) I'll also try to assess my daughters stuborness to see if it will be an early or late start.

War4ever · April 17, 2003, 11:38

dynomite!!!!!

a Ferret vs Beaver duel is in order if we can't find two more for doubles
