Alpha Centauri / Alien Crossfire IP wanted
 After a long unfree pause I'm again looking for 2-4 players (I don't like IPs with less than 3 and more than 5 players) who will join an Alpha Centauri or Alien Crossfire IP game. (any day except Sunday)
Standard size map (otherwise it will not come to an end by IP)

The goes on 
Well, we have now:
akizeta@lineone.net
Kris_no1@hotmail.com
timo2022@mbnet.fi
j_maunders@yahoo.co.uk j_maunders@hotmail.com
Timbba but no email
I send a email to all to verify the addresses and discuss the settings and starting time. (maybe I do have time this Sunday evening, too, after 21:00 GMT)
Respective the email addresses we may get an other problem: my host may refuse all emails send by yahoo, hotmail, and such servers, as anti spam settings. We have to test it. If so you may take an alternate address.
Let's have a party

I can't play Tuesday. I'm free evenings, but not during the day. In answer to your email:
|
Quote:
|
1) if you have ICQ, you may tell it, as it is more easy to arrange logins by ICQ when it starts (to prevent that some will try to
access just at same second, what may give a problem)
|
I'll try to get it up, but ATM I haven't.
|
Quote:
|
|
2) what time we shall start? All should have enougth time then, not that one has to quit after one hour already
|
Anytime after 6 GMT most nights is good for me.
|
Quote:
|
|
3) allowed factions? all of SMAC and SMACX or ?
|
Yes, except for:
|
Quote:
|
|
4) with or without the two alien factions?
|
Without
|
Quote:
|
|
5) your faction(s) preferred (if possible, I like to take Aki)
|
I'd go for CyCon too, although if not I'll go for Believers, if you don't want to duplicate.
|
Quote:
|
|
6) map size = standard
|
|
Quote:
|
|
7) difficulty = 1 below transcendence (forgot the name), as transcendence has too much fighting against worms)
|
Thinker. Fine by me
|
Quote:
|
|
8) native = rare if we don't have Gaia or Fung Boy, otherwise medium (as that are their advantages)
|
|
Quote:
|
|
9) other suggestions?
|
Average rainfall, 50-70% sea.

replied to your email (also stuck in every1 elses name)
incase it does block hotmail, my answers :
1) 325817637 , normally on msn though (Kris_no1@hotmail.com)
2) if we start at 21:00 GMT tonight i should be fine playing for 4-5hrs, otherwise i suggested Tuesday afternoon
3) all factions
4) if nobody wants to play as them then without
5) Hive
6) ok
7) Thinker if i remember correctly.
8) yay less worms :P though jamski wants Gaians so guess its medium
9) spoils of war on, blind research off, simultaneous movement on until a war breaks out then we switch to turn based ??

Got email from Kris/Lazerus , not from Drogue, no other yet. read forum.
Extract:
- maybe today 21:00 GMT = 22:00 CET
- Lazerus suggest "Tuesday afternoon", Drogue can't Tuesday, but after 6 GMT (six or eighteen?)
- Can't take MSN or ATM, ICQ only works for me.
- simultan may give problems (hanging from time to time) with 5 players, but for the beginning phase it should work.
- Lazerus' additional sugestions ok so far. Except Spoils: Spoils are a special ability of the blonde girl.
- Question: does duplicate factions work proper? Never did it before. If it will work fine, I've nothing against duplicate factions.
Waiting for more replies.
Best, Dreifels

If only Timbba can't play tonight, is it worth havign a go tonight with all that can, just for fun, and to test everything. Then do one with Timbba when we can find a date we can all do?
