Its now 5:00pm (+10gmt) and im on lobby. I will post again when i get off.

tripa_skaven · March 16, 2003, 02:16

Its now 5:30pm (+10gmt) and im leaving lobby.

If everyone does this it will make it easier to find out what times u get on and off. Will make it easier for ppl to work out what times each other are online.

ill be on l8r tonight also. so i will do this again at the time i get on.

Plz everyone try do this. it will make it much easier

Maquiladora · March 16, 2003, 09:44

Probably easier to contact someone i wouldve thought, especially if you live down there.

tripa_skaven · March 16, 2003, 10:22

tripa_skaven · March 16, 2003, 21:23

Toni · March 16, 2003, 22:54

hey tripa lets play sometime, am pacific time zone, just leave me a time for a game?

tripa_skaven · March 17, 2003, 03:40

whats ya time zone dewd??
im +10gmt

Barley · March 17, 2003, 14:30

6.32 GMT, im online now, waiting for a 2 player game with Toni though. I usually play most nights around 7pm or 8pm for about 5 hours or so. Also am available weekends any time.

Cannot play tomorrow night (Tue) but am available all this week.

I usually arrange my games via private messages on Apolyton so if you are free in the next few days just send me a private message.

Tripa, when can you play next? are you +10 GMT? timezone difference may make it a bit hard to play apart from weekends, (unless you play in the day - your time). My timezone is GMT.

Hope to catch you or anyone else soon.

Want to arrange a 4 player game for this Friday or saturday, are you interested and if so what is the best day / time for you (could do with a good 6 - 8 hours though).

Toni · March 17, 2003, 21:28

If anyone wnats a game, am in the nl lobby right now

Locutus · March 18, 2003, 08:41

Would it be useful if I topped a thread like this one? That way it would be easier to find and, assuming everyone would use it, people could subscribe to it to receive email updates when people post here to set up a game...

Maquiladora · March 18, 2003, 10:03

If youre looking for a thread to top Loc how about the Strategy & Tactics Index? After all most forums have a topped Strategy Index (aside from the general FAQ) except us

... you could rename it Strategy Lyceum (off the top of my head) or something catchy.

Personally all of my MP games have been organised times, if people post a time here and then wait in the lobby, it wouldnt make much difference because people would go in the lobby if they wanted a game anyway, so they would meet each other anyway, no?

Locutus · March 18, 2003, 10:31

Well, usually when I go to the lobby it's empty so if I were looking for a game I would post here first. But I'm not a regular MPer, so this thread isn't really for me.

I'm actually looking for less threads to top (I still feel 3 should be a maximum) but if it would be a big help to the MP community, I wouldn't too strongly object to replace the MP Tournament thread with this one. But only if it's a big help for the MP people and reduces the number of 'looking for a game' threads in the forum.

There's clearly a demand for MP discussion in this forum, while there's far less demand for strategy discussion (as much as I myself regret this

). So topping an MP thread makes more sense than topping a strategy thread. I'll give some thought about doing more with strategy though...

Maquiladora · March 18, 2003, 10:39

But wouldnt it interest more people to have a strategy thread topped, (not posting in it) just an index to the interesting stuff from all the forum. Newbies, MP'ers, oldies and lurkers could get easy access to it, like the Civ2 Great Library, makes good reading

It can only get bigger...

There is also already the MP Registry topped for anyone looking for a game.

Locutus · March 18, 2003, 10:48

Judging from the forum activity, the MP registry clearly isn't sufficient. Ideally we should have a seperate MP forum, but I don't see that happening anytime soon

Although I'm personally quite fond of strategy discussions, I don't see any evidence of a need for advertising strategy more. But again, I'll think about it. If I don't get clear signs that more MP threads should be topped, I'll almost certainly top the strategy thread instead. Otherwise I'll have to give it more thought...

tripa_skaven · March 18, 2003, 13:59

hey if u want to know what i think should be toped. I think we should start a thread and in it just put ya,
MSN
ICQ
GMT
and this way everyone will be on record.

Locutus · March 18, 2003, 14:08

Tripa, we already have such a thread: the MP Registry. And if I'm not mistaken you were one of the first to post your details in it at the time, though under one of your many older accounts (maybe posting them again under your new name as well is a good idea?).

tripa_skaven · March 18, 2003, 14:21

oh yeah lol

good job i forgot about that

sorry scratch what i just said

Barley · March 22, 2003, 08:06

Hi,

I think it would be good to top this tread, there have been so many threads started over recent months re arranging games it would be useful to have one dedicated thread. I would like to see the MP registry maintained as a top thread to.

Barley · March 22, 2003, 08:08

I am online now (noon GMT) and will be available for a game all weekend. Just send me a private message if im not in the lobby.

Oh and re the MP Registry, I have posted an update as a lot of older posts were out of date.

tripa_skaven · March 23, 2003, 00:28

i think it might be a betta idea to start a new thread like this and top it rather then toping this one

Also i think it might be a good idea to start a new MP registry as most the old ppl dont play anymore. or have new name,emails ect.

Barley · March 30, 2003, 11:02

Im online now (4pm GMT - though our clocks went forward 1 hour last night).

Does anyone want a game? I will be online for ages............

ja2bo2t · March 30, 2003, 12:35

ja2bo2t · March 30, 2003, 12:49

ummm i am willing to play a game anytime within the next few hours.... it is 5 pmt

Maquiladora · March 30, 2003, 13:55

PMT? I know that timezone all too well

Barley · April 3, 2003, 12:48

I am online now (Thursday 6pm GMT) and will be in the lobby waiting if anyone wants a game.

Barley · April 9, 2003, 14:16

There are 3 of us in nl.ink lobby now, need a 4th player for a game starting in 10 mins (7.30pm GMT, Wednesday).

All you need is average skill and 5 hours+ spare time.
